God damn you I was only going to read the headline and then tell everyone I know that we finally discovered kyber crystals. Now I have to read about boring regular science

Fun Fact: Yellow kyber crystals got their unique color from the hardening of Wookiee urine from the mountains of Kashyyyk. It can also be used for Porg banquets due to its salty taste and rough texture.
