Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Finalizer uses the same crystals as lightsabers to power its weapons.

StarWars.com has released some really interesting information on the "Finalizer", the massive Star Destroyer like ship seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This new ship was commanded by General Hux and Kylo Ren throughout the film.

The information that was released involves the weapons located on the Finalizer and will excite fans and make them look at the items in a new way.

"The powerful flagship shared by General Hux and Kylo Ren, the dagger-shaped Finalizer is nearly twice the length of an Imperial-era Star Destroyer. The first of the new Resurgent class constructed in violation of treaties with the New Republic, the Finalizer’s heavy weapons are augmented by two starfighter wings, a hundred assault craft and a full legion of stormtroopers. Her turbolasers are more powerful and faster to recharge than Imperial-era weapons, a product of kyber crystals harvested in the Unknown Regions."

The shocking piece of information here is that the turbolasers are powered by kyber crystals! For those that are thinking that sounds familiar, kyber crystals are crystals attuned to the Force and are used to power lightsabers are given them their signature color. To find out that the First Order found a way to use these crystals to power ship weaponry is pretty amazing. You also learn that the crystals were "harvested" in the Unknown Regions of the galaxy which means that the First Order is using natural crystals. This is interesting because the red crystals traditionally used by the Sith are synthetically made. Could we perhaps see a cave of naturally growing kyber crystals in future films?

What do you think about this new piece of information about the Finalizer and kyber crystals?
