Sith lightsabers are red in the "Star Wars" universe because the red color is produced by synthetic kyber crystals, which are used by Sith and other dark side Force users. Unlike the natural kyber crystals used by Jedi, synthetic crystals are artificially created and are infused with the user's own negative emotions, such as fear, anger, and hatred.
Red is typically associated with the Sith and other dark side Force users. Unlike Jedi lightsabers, which emit blue, green, or other colors based on the user's connection to the light side of the Force, red lightsabers are produced by synthetic kyber crystals that have been artificially created and infused with the user's negative emotions, such as fear, anger, and hatred.
Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber did not turn red when he turned to the dark side in the "Star Wars" universe because he did not construct a new lightsaber after his fall. Instead, he continued to use his original lightsaber, which emitted a blue blade as a Jedi, before later being passed down to his son, Luke Skywalker.
It is technically possible for a Jedi to use a red lightsaber if they were to acquire one from a defeated Sith or other dark side user, or construct one using a synthetic kyber crystal. However, such an act would be considered highly taboo within Jedi culture and could potentially lead the Jedi down the path to the dark side.
In "Jedi: Fallen Order," players cannot acquire a red lightsaber through normal gameplay as the game follows the story of a Jedi Padawan named Cal Kestis, who is trained in the ways of the Force by the Jedi Order.
