I'm not sure I believe that but I read it yesterday too. And the scotch tape creating x-rays in a vacuum. Cool stuff.
I'm pretty sure if you read something it makes it true.0 -

This is mostly true. The Sith may turn their lightsabers red from using the dark side. I am not sure if that's canon now or not. I think they may have talked about it in one of the books or some of the comics.0 -
Lindsey Buckingham wrote the song Go Your Own Way as a message to Stevie Nicks. It describes their breakup, with the most obvious line being, "Packing up, shacking up is all you want to do." Stevie wanted Lindsey to take out the line, but he refused. Poor Stevie had to sing back up vocals on a song about what a piece of crap she was. HEHEH
Stevie Nicks told Q magazine June 2009: "It was certainly a message within a song. And not a very nice one at that."2 -
Today I learned that cling wrap clings to everything except what it's supposed to.1

They changed that and it's no longer canon.In Ahsoka (Star Wars Canon Novel), it is revealed that the Kyber crystals are actually force sensitive. They choose their desired users and present themselves to the Jedi in question. Those who use the Dark Side of the Force, such as the Sith, don't have this unique connection to the crystals. The only way a Sith can get ahold of a Kyber crystal is by stealing them or taking them away from the defeated Jedi.
The crystal loses its original hue as the Sith, or other Dark Side users of the Force bends the Kyber to their own will. This results in the Kyber crystal 'bleeding', thus turning it red. A crystal that has been tainted by the Dark Side can be healed. But it doesn't return to its normal color, it instead turns white.
