A lightsaber's emitter typically consists of two main parts:
-
Emitter Shroud: This is the outer part of the emitter that surrounds and protects the internal components. It often has decorative elements and grooves that add to the aesthetic design of the lightsaber. The shroud also helps to shape the blade and can impact how the blade projects from the hilt.
-
Crystal Chamber (or Kyber Crystal Chamber): Located within the emitter, this chamber houses the Kyber crystal, which is the source of the lightsaber's power and the color of the blade. The crystal chamber may include components that help focus and direct the energy from the crystal to create a stable plasma blade.
Together, these components facilitate the lightsaber's operation and contribute to its visual and functional properties.
