What color/style lightsaber would you choose, given a choice? If I have to be canon consistent (color appeared in current canon), white fencing saber (like Dooku's in shape) If I can pick any color, fencing style but magenta

My favourite colour is red, which is thoroughly claimed by the sith. So I go purple. As for style... just a standard one. I would probably never use it, I see myself as more the scholar or counsellor type.

In fact if there's a nonlethal option, I'll take that instead. Can my lightsaber have a stun setting?

Yes, Ezra's first saber was stun only. Frequently used for practice duels between padawans

Presumably, much like "stun" weapons in real life, whether it successfully stuns the person, causes great pain and enrages them but leaves them dangerously unstunned, or outright kills them is a complex matter of body weight, metabolism and species

Much like the controversy over whether it helps to issue tasers to cops and security guards instead of making it a binary choice between real guns or no weapons There's arguments it's better to make it so escalating to violence requires an explicit commitment to lethal force

Jedi have a lot more options though. Can you force restrain someone? How about using the jedi mind trick to put people to sleep?

If I could consistently do that I'd never use the lightsaber at all.

Yeah this is a universe with various unknown species, battle droids, and Sith Lords, which is what the lightsaber seems to be mainly for ("Sith Lords are our specialty") But it seems like under normal circumstances of Star Peace the saber was a ceremonial symbol/last resort
