No glitch here, it's intentional. Most of the content in Batuu is based on Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, and when you build a lightsaber there, the rare black crystals make the blade red. Basically, the black crystal is essentially just a collector's item in game and in real life. I was googling all the different colors available in the game when I found this post so I'm glad I was able to help clear that up for you. ^^ I hope you have a fantastic time playing, and may the Force be with you mon ami!

This made me sad as heck. The first thing I found digging through a trash pile was the black kyber crystal. I did missions so I could get that hilt, and popped it in....and was sooo disappointed. I mean, white, yellow and purple work, black should too.

I agree. What's the point if it's not actually black? Very frustrating.

The pack just feels like a sell out. But not knowing the agreement or situation between EA and Disney I find myself trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

If they are unable or unwilling to make the black crystal actually black, they could at least make it's flavor text the same as the tag that comes with the black crystal at the theme park. The one that explains where the particular crystal was obtained and that it will appear red.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use a black kyber crystal
What happens when the bug occurs? A red blade occurs
What do you expect to see? If I use a specific colored kyber crystal, the light saber blade should be that color. Otherwise what is the point?
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

If this is intentional then I am sorely disappointed.
