Adegan
Apparently one of the most common types and found in the Adega system, Halm Mygeeto and in parts of the Cularin system asteroid belt. The force apparently shares a close connection with these crystals which forms a strong bond between blade and master, but because of this trait Adegan crystals in a lightsaber to give off a weak Force signature that could be sensed by any Jedi.
The best ones were the Methite, which was a typical Adegan crystal used by the Jedi.and Ponite which was the rarest and most powerful type of Adegan crystal. Nearly impossible to find, it resonated with a powerful aura that cooled both skin and tempers. However, with the exception of Pontite they were similar to the Ilum crystals to the point that the names were interchangeable, though the caves of Ilum meant that the Adegan fell out of use, as they were rare even in the systems they were found in, Pontite being near legendary.
They also have some use in stealth as the Sith used them to make a stealth armada during the cold war.
Amplification
Very little is known about this type, they were silver crystals used Maulkiller, and his crystals were lost post mortem.
Translating from game mechanics, they are a general boost, as unlocking them causes you to deal more damage.
Ankarres Sapphire
One of the most potent crystals that could be found this one is lightside exclusive and has vaguly defined healing abilities. What is more interesting is that when used by a darkside user it would heat up the blade, though this could be reversed if it fell into the wrong hands.
Meetra Surik found it. In more modern times it was kept on Kuari Princess by Dom Pricina, it was stolen by 4-LOM slightly before the battle of Yavin.
Allya's Redemption Allya's Exile
Linked because of similar names and quite simple Allya's Redemption imbues the lightsaber it is used in with an acid effect and makes wounds poisonous, while the exile imbues it with a heat effect.
My guess is that these would be found on Dathomir as the Allya they refer to is this woman Allya who was responsible for the foundation of the Witches of Dathomir as well as Dathomiri magic.
Bnar's Sacrifice
A brown crystal used by Jedi Master Ood Bnar, this crystal apparently left by him after he was killed in the old republic era will only join with the person that attunes to them. If there are more versions of this crystal I dunno, nor am I sure of its location.
Bane's Heart (crystal)
A synthetic crystal and a very powerful one at that, in canon it was actually Grevious who would have found this killing the Dark Jedi who had it either on Dica or Necropolis. It was recovered from his star fighter after he died and it was used in the N-K Project and was stolen from the corpse of N-K Necrosis. It would release lightning if anyone but its owner tried to use it.
Barab ingot
A rare crystal found on Barab I, they cause the blade they are used in to "burn like fire" and anyone/thing hit by them to catch fire as well.
Blackwing crystal
An unusual type crystal that produced a smokey ash blade. Located on Dathomir in the Quaranteen zone guarded by an undead rancor its thought these crystals have some connection to Imperial bioweapons Project I71A due to the naming similarities, though that is just speculation.
Bondar
Only found in a specific asteroid on the Alderaan system when the lightsaber grazes flesh it stuns the opponent.
Bondara's Folly
An interesting one, named after master Anoon Bondara the crystal's properties besides being brown and only working for the one who attuned to it was that it was made from several crystal fragments.
Baas' Wisdom
Simple enough when used it imparts a freezing effect.
Compressed energy crystal
Corusca gem/Legends
Luxum
Compressed crystals technically includes others, but lets go with these two as the main ones.
Corusca are made in Yavin Prime, and they are quite rare in the galaxy and highly valued which got them named after corusant. There are big ones the closer you get to the centre of Yavin Prime.
Property wise they are extremly strong, making very powerful blades, but their main value is in their worth.
We could probably make a fortune as only Shatter point is a practical way to do it apparently.
Luxum are made Ambria, a planet gripped by dark energies, where they were formed out of the minerals and Force energy contained in Lake Natth, through meditation and are effective against droids imparting an ion effect. They can also be used by non darksiders Jax Pavan sought one out in his search for a mineral with which to construct a new lightsaber after losing his in a fight with Darth Vader.
Corrosion
Used by Star Killer, this crustal did what else cause what was hit by it including organics to corrode, it was a compressed crystal.
Cunning of Tyranus
Nother one that recognises no other master than the one attuned to it.
Dahgee Lightsaber crystal
These ones were used by the Dahgee Jedi in the old republic, the blades created were zig zaged with a dark silver core and a coloured aura.
Though their users are gone you can still find examples of their robes and sabers.
Damind
Found on Daminia these crystals project a longer and wider blade which is better for deflecting blaster fire.
Dawn of Dagobah
Rare to use to make a saber this one poisons and acidifies enemies it hits.
Dragite crystal
Found on M'haeli, in the D'olop Mountain Range, these crystals emit loud sonic resonances when struck, harming enemies.
Durindfire (crystal)
Rare and only found on Tatooine few of these rare crystals ever left the planet, and while of high quality their gimmick seems to be a silver blade, they were commonly used by the Halcyon/Horn family who's gimmick was being good at Tutaminis or absorbing energy with the force including lightsaber blades.
Enhancement jewel
Seemingly a computer component, they could be used in sabers, albeit with no interesting effects noted.
Eralam
Once mined on the third moon of the planet Erai, though orbital bombardments by ancient Sith forces against the moon made them very rare. If found they make an extremely clear and powerful "superior" blade.
Etaan crystal
Rare and found only on the planet Etai these ones are hard to get at, but have a few interesting traits as they echo sound with a humming resonance. When used for lightsabers the blade emitted thrummed in harmony with the motion of the blade. When clashing against another blade, the weapon will gave off a near-deafening crack and flared with energy. While a lightsaber powered by an etaan would cause others to bounce off it's blade, blaster bolts absorbed some of the energy from the resonant blade and were increasingly dangerous if redirected at a target
Firkrann
Noted for its weight these crystals were mined on the planet Rafa V. When used in a saber they make it energised and electric, extra dangerous to droids.
Focus
Different types of focus crystals produced different effects i.e.
Ghostfire crystal
Probably the best crystals for the watchers, found in various planets in the Outer Rim on so called Ghost Fire peaks, these crystals a translucent blade that leaves an illustriously after effect as well as producing little to no noise.
Hurrikaine crystal
The purple ones the Windu's lightsaber is made of, no other real advantage as far as I can tell
Impact
Compressed crystals used by Starkiller, they hit harder... literally.
Incineration
Another compressed crystal again used by Starkiller, set things on fire.
Kaiburr crystal
Not the kind you are thinking of, this beauty was a relic first located on Circarpous V, locally known as Mimban in the temple Temple of Pomojema. This thing was apparently able to increase a force users power 1000 times, enhanced healing and allowed the use of Force Lightning by those who normally wouldn't be able to.
For us the Crystal should still be in the temple which was abandoned for unknown reasons as it wasn't moved until 2 ABY, the Mimbanites have a shard of the crystal, as well as a map which led to Pomojema's temple.
A woman named Halla is after it, but is a good guy, but she isn't there until BBY 5.
Sounds great plenty of time to pick it up, well the down side is that the crystal is only useful near the temple and looses power when away from it (so we can't take it off world), though we could use it as a catalyst for various things.
The crystal fragments apparently make the "the best light saber crystals" with users including Meetra Surik, Galen Marek, Luke and Luminya.
It also serves as an excellent meditation tool even while away from the temple, Luke using it as one of his best tools in his Praxeum.
Kasha
Traditionally used by Cereans as meditation tools these crystals keep the mind clear of distractions.
Katak
Essentially a life drain crystal, when used the life of enemies is taken and used to heal the user, Galen Merek used one. (ironically in game it is unlocked by finding a Jedi Holocron)
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kenobi's_Legacy
Once attuned only the user can use it.
Krayt dragon pearl/Legends
Found in the dangerous Tattooine Krayt Dragons and extremely valuable simple enough they create a better blade, depending on the quality of the pearl used.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kun's_Blood
No information is given on this crystal, I will assume it binds to a user and is uniquely black.
Lambent
Not one we can really aquire, these are fruit grown by the Vong, no real advantage, save for the fact that one bound with one can sense vong.
Lava crystal
Not much to say here, these crystals are extremely powerful and said to look like they are made of lava. Only found in useful numbers (rarely) on worlds like Mustafar it creates a blade that resembles lava and is incredibly hot, throwing out flame and lava when it hits.
Life Drain
Compressed crystal used by Star Killer, name says it all.
Lignan crystal
Made from Lignan ore, these crystals make a blade which last longer and burns hotter than normal and cut through materials faster i.e. Sith team tries to ambush Luke cuts through thick metal doors, Luke through an escape hole, Sith get through first.
Lorrdian gemstone
Originating in the Kanz Disorders these crystals make a person better at reading body language, prediction and forsight and thus better at blocking blaster fire ect.
Meditation crystal
Rare as hell now a days these crystals originate from Tython and grow there naturally, they help a user centre themselves in combat and enhance their connection to the force. Starkiller gets two (they are his main two) and they are given to him by Rahm Kota.
Meetra Surik crystal
An interesting one found on Dantooine this crystal absorbs and develops according to what force energy is poured through it and becomes very strong because of it. Baby mantle of the force?
It also enhances the other components and crystals in the saber.
According the Kreia these crystals are rare?
Nextor
Found on the planet of M'haeli blades made with these crystals make a powerful, but unstable blade.
Opila
Mined from asteroids in the Fyrth system it generates an intense blade that can cut through materials at high speed.
Jenruax
A refined version of Opila, this made a more agile blade that could deflect blasters better.
Permafrost crystal
Rare crystals found only on Hoth, There is currently one on Dathomir in the township of Aurilia. Only useable by the one who tuned it maybe some frost powers given the other crystals.
Phond
Unknown how it is made exactly, but it is formed the byproduct resulting from rare impurities bonding during the making of certain alloys due to as-yet-unknown external conditions. Makes a fiercely burning blade.
Qixoni crystal
Really really rare crystals that enhance ones connection to the force and the power of a lightsaber. Found only in the Qixoni Nebula.
Rainbow gem
Sentient beings found on the planet of Gallinore and could be used as lightsaber crystals. Extremely valuable.
Rubat
Found only on planet Phemis, these crystals produced a sharper blade that was easier for the user to track and defend with, this crystal was used exclusivly by the Jedi until they started using Kyber from Ilum.
Ruusan crystal
Nothing special for the lightsaber itself, instead it helps force users forcus on the force, lost access after the Ruusan Reformation
Sapith
Excreted by the now extinct Volice worm, a creature from the Ssi-ruuvi homeworld Lwhekk, once every eleven standard years. When used it created an intense, but easy to control blade.
Sigil (crystal)
Mined in the Sigil system, these crystals induced a searing effect dealing extra damage and having a potent blade.
Solari
Essentially the light side version of the Force Saber Crystal and the Mantle, this crystal can only be used by a light sider (though in game inserting the mantle of heart would get around that) it was found by Revan, but where it is now is unknown. It also increases the width of the blade making it better for defence as well as being better against darksiders.
Stygium
Makes the user better at hiding. Found only on Aeten II and Maramere.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sunrider's_Destiny
Only the person who tunes to it can use it.
Synthetic lightsaber crystal
Artificial creations by sith, the blades that are made from these are extremly powerful, to the point that they can break the saber.
A few variations are the compressed which makes a thinner blade and makes an interesting visual effect and unstable, which while prone to shorting out do more damage.
Upari
A crystal found in orbit of forested world, brittal, but could be used to make many effects. A wookie clan cutting them apparently enhanced their effects.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic's_Redemption
Only user can use it... probably.
Ultima-Pearl
Rare silver, found at the bottom of the ocean of Dac apparently installing one is really really hard.
Velmorite
Found on Velmor, they make a thin fluid blade.
Vexxtal
Unknown origin and dark, they leave a corrupting aura on those they hit.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Windu's_Guile
Only useable by the person it is attuned too.
AND DONE!!!!
Lots of crystals out there.
Apparently one of the most common types and found in the Adega system, Halm Mygeeto and in parts of the Cularin system asteroid belt. The force apparently shares a close connection with these crystals which forms a strong bond between blade and master, but because of this trait Adegan crystals in a lightsaber to give off a weak Force signature that could be sensed by any Jedi.

Dragite crystal
Found on M'haeli, in the D'olop Mountain Range, these crystals emit loud sonic resonances when struck, harming enemies.
Durindfire (crystal)
Rare and only found on Tatooine few of these rare crystals ever left the planet, and while of high quality their gimmick seems to be a silver blade, they were commonly used by the Halcyon/Horn family who's gimmick was being good at Tutaminis or absorbing energy with the force including lightsaber blades.
Enhancement jewel
Seemingly a computer component, they could be used in sabers, albeit with no interesting effects noted.
Eralam
Once mined on the third moon of the planet Erai, though orbital bombardments by ancient Sith forces against the moon made them very rare. If found they make an extremely clear and powerful "superior" blade.
Etaan crystal
Rare and found only on the planet Etai these ones are hard to get at, but have a few interesting traits as they echo sound with a humming resonance. When used for lightsabers the blade emitted thrummed in harmony with the motion of the blade. When clashing against another blade, the weapon will gave off a near-deafening crack and flared with energy. While a lightsaber powered by an etaan would cause others to bounce off it's blade, blaster bolts absorbed some of the energy from the resonant blade and were increasingly dangerous if redirected at a target
Firkrann
Noted for its weight these crystals were mined on the planet Rafa V. When used in a saber they make it energised and electric, extra dangerous to droids.
Focus
Different types of focus crystals produced different effects i.e.
They also help the user in meditation.
- Bondar crystals: Produces a weaker blade
- Solari crystals (no not that one): Makes the blade wider
- Kathracite: Produces a stunning sting rather than a lethal edge.
Ghostfire crystal
Probably the best crystals for the watchers, found in various planets in the Outer Rim on so called Ghost Fire peaks, these crystals a translucent blade that leaves an illustriously after effect as well as producing little to no noise.
Hurrikaine crystal
The purple ones the Windu's lightsaber is made of, no other real advantage as far as I can tell
Impact
Compressed crystals used by Starkiller, they hit harder... literally.
Incineration
Another compressed crystal again used by Starkiller, set things on fire.
Kaiburr crystal
Not the kind you are thinking of, this beauty was a relic first located on Circarpous V, locally known as Mimban in the temple Temple of Pomojema. This thing was apparently able to increase a force users power 1000 times, enhanced healing and allowed the use of Force Lightning by those who normally wouldn't be able to.
For us the Crystal should still be in the temple which was abandoned for unknown reasons as it wasn't moved until 2 ABY, the Mimbanites have a shard of the crystal, as well as a map which led to Pomojema's temple.
A woman named Halla is after it, but is a good guy, but she isn't there until BBY 5.
Kasha
Traditionally used by Cereans as meditation tools these crystals keep the mind clear of distractions.
Katak
Essentially a life drain crystal, when used the life of enemies is taken and used to heal the user, Galen Merek used one. (ironically in game it is unlocked by finding a Jedi Holocron)
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kenobi's_Legacy
Once attuned only the user can use it.
Krayt dragon pearl/Legends
Found in the dangerous Tattooine Krayt Dragons and extremely valuable simple enough they create a better blade, depending on the quality of the pearl used.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kun's_Blood
No information is given on this crystal, I will assume it binds to a user and is uniquely black.
Lambent
Not one we can really aquire, these are fruit grown by the Vong, no real advantage, save for the fact that one bound with one can sense vong.
Lava crystal
Not much to say here, these crystals are extremely powerful and said to look like they are made of lava. Only found in useful numbers (rarely) on worlds like Mustafar it creates a blade that resembles lava and is incredibly hot, throwing out flame and lava when it hits.
Life Drain
Compressed crystal used by Star Killer, name says it all.
Lignan crystal
Made from Lignan ore, these crystals make a blade which last longer and burns hotter than normal and cut through materials faster i.e. Sith team tries to ambush Luke cuts through thick metal doors, Luke through an escape hole, Sith get through first.
Lorrdian gemstone
Originating in the Kanz Disorders these crystals make a person better at reading body language, prediction and forsight and thus better at blocking blaster fire ect.
Meditation crystal
Rare as hell now a days these crystals originate from Tython and grow there naturally, they help a user centre themselves in combat and enhance their connection to the force. Starkiller gets two (they are his main two) and they are given to him by Rahm Kota.
Meetra Surik crystal
An interesting one found on Dantooine this crystal absorbs and develops according to what force energy is poured through it and becomes very strong because of it. Baby mantle of the force?
It also enhances the other components and crystals in the saber.
According the Kreia these crystals are rare?
Nextor
Found on the planet of M'haeli blades made with these crystals make a powerful, but unstable blade.
Opila
Mined from asteroids in the Fyrth system it generates an intense blade that can cut through materials at high speed.
Jenruax
A refined version of Opila, this made a more agile blade that could deflect blasters better.
Permafrost crystal
Rare crystals found only on Hoth, There is currently one on Dathomir in the township of Aurilia. Only useable by the one who tuned it maybe some frost powers given the other crystals.
Phond
Unknown how it is made exactly, but it is formed the byproduct resulting from rare impurities bonding during the making of certain alloys due to as-yet-unknown external conditions. Makes a fiercely burning blade.
Qixoni crystal
Really really rare crystals that enhance ones connection to the force and the power of a lightsaber. Found only in the Qixoni Nebula.
Rainbow gem
Sentient beings found on the planet of Gallinore and could be used as lightsaber crystals. Extremely valuable.
Rubat
Found only on planet Phemis, these crystals produced a sharper blade that was easier for the user to track and defend with, this crystal was used exclusivly by the Jedi until they started using Kyber from Ilum.
Ruusan crystal
Nothing special for the lightsaber itself, instead it helps force users forcus on the force, lost access after the http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ruusan_Reformation
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sapith
Excreted by the now extinct Volice worm, a creature from the Ssi-ruuvi homeworld Lwhekk, once every eleven standard years. When used it created an intense, but easy to control blade.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sigil_(crystal)
Mined in the Sigil system, these crystals induced a searing effect dealing extra damage and having a potent blade.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Solari
Essentially the light side version of the Force Saber Crystal and the Mantle, this crystal can only be used by a light sider (though in game inserting the mantle of heart would get around that) it was found by Revan, but where it is now is unknown. It also increases the width of the blade making it better for defence as well as being better against darksiders.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stygium#Stygium_lightsaber_crystal
Makes the user better at hiding. Found only on Aeten II and Maramere.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sunrider's_Destiny
Only the person who tunes to it can use it.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Synthetic_lightsaber_crystal
Artificial creations by sith, the blades that are made from these are extremly powerful, to the point that they can break the saber.
A few variations are the compressed which makes a thinner blade and makes an interesting visual effect and unstable, which while prone to shorting out do more damage.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Upari
A crystal found in orbit of forested world, brittal, but could be used to make many effects. A wookie clan cutting them apparently enhanced their effects.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ulic's_Redemption
Only user can use it... probably.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ultima-Pearl
Rare silver, found at the bottom of the ocean of Dac apparently installing one is really really hard.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Velmorite
Found on Velmor, they make a thin fluid blade.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vexxtal
Unknown origin and dark, they leave a corrupting aura on those they hit.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Windu's_Guile
Only useable by the person it is attuned too.
AND DONE!!!!
Lots of crystals out there.
also what is your opinion of the starsaber name? i like it.

Still anyone want to make a visit to Circarpourus?
I want me the BS crystal.
Dunno, we're getting their real lightsabers soon.
I say they can use what ever works best for them we can splooge to let them find one that suits them.

Wow, this could easily be considered an omake...Adegan
Apparently one of the most common types and found in the Adega system, Halm Mygeeto and in parts of the Cularin system asteroid belt. The force apparently shares a close connection with these crystals which forms a strong bond between blade and master, but because of this trait Adegan crystals in a lightsaber to give off a weak Force signature that could be sensed by any Jedi.
The best ones were the Methite, which was a typical Adegan crystal used by the Jedi.and Ponite which was the rarest and most powerful type of Adegan crystal. Nearly impossible to find, it resonated with a powerful aura that cooled both skin and tempers. However, with the exception of Pontite they were similar to the Ilum crystals to the point that the names were interchangeable, though the caves of Ilum meant that the Adegan fell out of use, as they were rare even in the systems they were found in, Pontite being near legendary.
They also have some use in stealth as the Sith used them to make a stealth armada during the cold war.
Amplification
Very little is known about this type, they were silver crystals used Maulkiller, and his crystals were lost post mortem.
Translating from game mechanics, they are a general boost, as unlocking them causes you to deal more damage.
Ankarres Sapphire
One of the most potent crystals that could be found this one is lightside exclusive and has vaguly defined healing abilities. What is more interesting is that when used by a darkside user it would heat up the blade, though this could be reversed if it fell into the wrong hands.
Meetra Surik found it. In more modern times it was kept on Kuari Princess by Dom Pricina, it was stolen by 4-LOM slightly before the battle of Yavin.
Allya's Redemption Allya's Exile
Linked because of similar names and quite simple Allya's Redemption imbues the lightsaber it is used in with an acid effect and makes wounds poisonous, while the exile imbues it with a heat effect.
My guess is that these would be found on Dathomir as the Allya they refer to is this woman Allya who was responsible for the foundation of the Witches of Dathomir as well as Dathomiri magic.
Bnar's Sacrifice
A brown crystal used by Jedi Master Ood Bnar, this crystal apparently left by him after he was killed in the old republic era will only join with the person that attunes to them. If there are more versions of this crystal I dunno, nor am I sure of its location.
Bane's Heart (crystal)
A synthetic crystal and a very powerful one at that, in canon it was actually Grevious who would have found this killing the Dark Jedi who had it either on Dica or Necropolis. It was recovered from his star fighter after he died and it was used in the N-K Project and was stolen from the corpse of N-K Necrosis. It would release lightning if anyone but its owner tried to use it.
Barab ingot
A rare crystal found on Barab I, they cause the blade they are used in to "burn like fire" and anyone/thing hit by them to catch fire as well.
Blackwing crystal
An unusual type crystal that produced a smokey ash blade. Located on Dathomir in the Quaranteen zone guarded by an undead rancor its thought these crystals have some connection to Imperial bioweapons Project I71A due to the naming similarities, though that is just speculation.
Bondar
Only found in a specific asteroid on the Alderaan system when the lightsaber grazes flesh it stuns the opponent.
Bondara's Folly
An interesting one, named after master Anoon Bondara the crystal's properties besides being brown and only working for the one who attuned to it was that it was made from several crystal fragments.
Baas' Wisdom
Simple enough when used it imparts a freezing effect.
Compressed energy crystal
Corusca gem/Legends
Luxum
Compressed crystals technically includes others, but lets go with these two as the main ones.
Corusca are made in Yavin Prime, and they are quite rare in the galaxy and highly valued which got them named after corusant. There are big ones the closer you get to the centre of Yavin Prime.
Property wise they are extremly strong, making very powerful blades, but their main value is in their worth.
We could probably make a fortune as only Shatter point is a practical way to do it apparently.
Luxum are made Ambria, a planet gripped by dark energies, where they were formed out of the minerals and Force energy contained in Lake Natth, through meditation and are effective against droids imparting an ion effect. They can also be used by non darksiders Jax Pavan sought one out in his search for a mineral with which to construct a new lightsaber after losing his in a fight with Darth Vader.
Corrosion
Used by Star Killer, this crustal did what else cause what was hit by it including organics to corrode, it was a compressed crystal.
Cunning of Tyranus
Nother one that recognises no other master than the one attuned to it.
Dahgee Lightsaber crystal
These ones were used by the Dahgee Jedi in the old republic, the blades created were zig zaged with a dark silver core and a coloured aura.
Though their users are gone you can still find examples of their robes and sabers.
Damind
Found on Daminia these crystals project a longer and wider blade which is better for deflecting blaster fire.
Dawn of Dagobah

It also makes very little sense outside of the Lego context of the show it was revealed in.
See, the whole thing of the Kyber saber is that the blade part itself is built out of Kyber crystals.
Which is where the problem is. A sword made out of crystals is both not a lightsaber and would be ridiculously fragile. Brittle? Whichever means that a sufficiently hard impact would cause it too fall apart.
It's also a sword made out of highly explodable materials, in that a slight breach in the crystal in the current canon could lead to large explosions.

Just looking at what Wookiepedia has to say about the blade tells you that it can reshape entire landscapes and mass-scatter planetary bodies...
Hell I think it alone destroyed an Imperial fleet in orbit.
There is no way this shit is considered tame, especially when the WMD in question is the size of a large water bottle.

And, like other things outside the movies and (canon) cartoons, I think it should be toned down so while still significant, it at least makes sense.

The guy who kills planet's by being on them makes a degree of sense in setting. Planet killing immortality ritual? It's a scaled up thing of what we already knew they were capable of.
I draw the lines at building a sword out of materials which explode on a massive scale with a slight crack, when those materials are highly vulnerable to a hard impact setting them off.
It's a bit like building a sword out of early 1900's explosives. Sure, it sounds awesome, but it lacks a sharp edge or any means to kill without using blunt force, and has a greater than even chance of detonating when you use it as a blunt force tool.
It's not actually a lightsaber by what a lightsaber is. It's a sword made of crystal. That an idiot designed like a lightsaber so it doesn't have an edge.

Except fucking no. Sidious is supposed to be the most powerful Sith Lord ever, the standard by which all others are measured, so any Sith Lord powerful enough to kill planets is a Sith Lord that should not exist. Anakin is the Chosen One - the most powerful thing that ever was or will be as far as the Force is concerned - but Nihilus, by his feats, would count as more powerful than him. Nihilus and other EU crap comes from writers wanting to make their stories feel important and their hackneyed way of doing so was to make their characters as powerful as possible, setting cohesion be damned.
The EU has it's good points and it's fine to take things from it, but taking it wholecloth is a crap idea and must not be done. You can still have Nihilus, just don't make him so powerful he eats entire planets to death. It's unnecessary, completely broken, and diminishes the current story by setting such an unreasonably high bar how powerful people can get.

Where did you even get that from? Sidious was never supposed to be the strongest Sith Lord ever. Nor was it ever stated that Anakin was the strongest Jedi ever.
Sidious was always just supposed to be the Sith Master. The strongest of the current sith.
And Anakin was always just supposed to bring Balance to the Force. Power has never been a part of that. It was the EU which originally made Sidious "The strongest Sith Ever" and Anakin the "Strongest Jedi."
Yes, Anakin had the most Midiwhateverians of modern jedi. Since they started checking for those. Which they never did at any point ever except in the first prequel.
And force bugs granting power has been out-canoned and reretconned so many times now it's actually hilarious.

It's not like Sidious didn't already do it before Nihilius in the EU.
Or that Nihilius was doing it out of power. His whole thing is that he's an anomaly. A hole in reality, consuming everything by nature of being a hole, rather than power.
And the EU handled it quite well I think. Jedi and Sith appear so much weaker now because of lost knowledge and hoarded holocrons. Which makes perfect sense.
It's not that they are weaker, it's that they lack the knowledge of how to pull of the "more powerful" feats.
