I fixed your question up a bit, but I'm not certain if I split it at the right part. It looked like you had two questions, but I wasn't certain which one "if they were rare" was supposed to modify, so I guessed. – FuzzyBoots Jul 27 '20 at 20:00

And as it currently stands, you have two questions, and you might be best off creating another question for why lightsabres were not in use among common people. – FuzzyBoots Jul 27 '20 at 20:11

https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/9874/do-non-jedi-and-non-sith-use-lightsabers is also an answer to the second question. – FuzzyBoots Jul 27 '20 at 20:14

Incidentally, with a bit of time away, do you feel like you have a clearer idea of your question? – FuzzyBoots Jul 30 '20 at 13:20

Kyber crystals were Force-attuned crystals that grew rarely but throughout the galaxy, with some areas having a greater abundance than others. The crystals concentrated energy in a unique manner through the Force, resonating with it. The crystals exhibited a sort of "collective consciousness," verging on sentience, and could non-verbally communicate with both one another and living beings. Some theorized that the permutations in the kyber lattice were comparable to emotional shifts in a sentient being.
There do exist Synthetic Kyber Crystals, which were less stable.
Synthetic kyber crystals were artificial kyber crystals,1 Force-attuned crystals that were used by the Jedi and Sith in the construction of their lightsabers, that glowed with a green hue. Due to their synthetic nature, they were highly unstable and explosive, and possession of them was made illegal by the Galactic Empire.

If the crystals were rare then why doesnt a common being has been shown with a kyber crystel – MKX Jul 27 '20 at 20:02

@MKX: I'm not certain what you mean. If they are rare, it would be less likely for a common person to show up with a Kyber crystal, since they're likely to be highly controlled in those rare locations by the people who can make the best use of them. – FuzzyBoots Jul 27 '20 at 20:10

@MKX: Pacing one's questions can be useful. :) If nothing else, it reduces the chance of rep capping if it comes out to be popular. – FuzzyBoots Jul 27 '20 at 20:13

1@MKX "Normal" people have been shown with Kyber crystals. Jyn Erso has a kyber necklace in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. An Ithorian "normal person" character named Dok-Ondar, created for Disney's theme parks but also appearing in comics and is present-but-offscreen for Solo: A Star Wars Story, sells kyber crystals in his shop on Batuu. – SpaceWolf1701 Jul 28 '20 at 04:51
