At the beginning of the series, the Quasar Sabers are pulled from a block of stone (mirroring the legend of Excalibur), thus highlighting the youths as the modern-day chosen wielders of the weapons (that is, with the exception of Leo Corbett, whose Saber is given to him by his brother Mike).
The Galaxy Power Rangers gain their powers through use of the Quasar Sabers - five ancient swords that were discovered on the planet Mirinoi.
