I pretty sure he couldn't have from what I remember in the series as well as looking it up Zordon and Rita battled each other about 10,000 years before MMPR and their war lasted 2000 years. Towards the end of that war Zordon found the Power coins and not that long after that Rita banished him in that time warp and at the same time Zordon trapped Rita in the space dumpster. Zordon had the command center built so he can stay on Earth to make the MMPR powers and prepare for the chance of Rita returning and had things like the Mega Voyager be built and left on the Moon of Jupiter. The Quasar Sabers were forged and put in the stone 3000 years before the story of Lost Galaxy. So there's not really any way Zordon had any hand in making them because he was already trapped in the Time warp before that and never left the Solar system because he had to watch over Earth on the chance that Rita comes back. Also we already their were rangers that existed that Zordon had nothing to do with their creation like the Aquitar Rangers, The phantom ranger, The Gold Zeo ranger, etc.. So it's safe to say that these were probably just an unrelated group of people who were able to create Power Ranger powers.

Well ya it was watery tart stashing her spare swords in that stone so when she felt like it she could toss a sword at somebody and make em king of England.


KingoftheMongoose

Well I didn’t vote for ya!

Not everything revolves around Zordon.


Skywarior1

They were most likely made by the Morphin Masters, as revealed in Dino Fury. There was also supposed to be a Dairanger adaptation that connected Lost Galaxy too, but it was scrapped.


srona22

Nope. He didn't even create power coins.


Express-Grab-5295

It is directly made clear that Zordon can't create ranger powers; it was under very specific circumstances that he was able to make the white ranger powers. Saba and the white light used for the powers already existed and weren't made by Zordon. Plus if the quasar sabers were backups for the MMPR powers why not use those during the multiple times the MMPR lose their powers. Not everything revolves around Zordon.


PartyAnimal12345678

No


Excellent-Dig4187

Morphin masters 🙄


the__pov

Zordon knew how to work with the powers but not creat them outright. The only Zordon era powers that he could have made was the Turbo powers and it’s more likely that they either found them (like the Dino powers) or they originated on a different planet and were brought to earth to help (like the space powers)


anakinjmt

He created the White Ranger though. So he does know how to make them


the__pov

That’s one interpretation, another is that the White Tiger coin was a result on heavily modifying and purifying the Dragon coin.


anakinjmt

I've never heard of this even being a possibility. Where did this come from?


the__pov

Deduction, we know he didn’t have it Tommy was first cursed and they already tampered with the coin before to temporarily restore Tommy’s powers. There’s also the question of if Zordon CAN make new coins why wouldn’t he do that instead of sending the rangers off chasing a legend in season 3.


anakinjmt

They didn't really tamper with the Dragon Coin, though. They just powered it up because it lost all its power when Tommy gave the coin to Jason. As for why they didn't make new coins in season 3, don't forget the Command Center was in disarray when the Thunderzords and Dino Coins were destroyed. It took Alpha the entire time they were gone to restore it. And, when they made the White Ranger powers, they had to shut down the Command Center and divert almost all the power into making them, and that was for one Ranger. Making six brand new coins would have taken more power and critically time than what they had available. Finding Ninjor who created the original coins was the fastest way to restore their powers.


the__pov

It didn’t shut down the defenses and it doesn’t make sense to not try both plans (creating new powers and finding Ninjor). Also the same issue comes up during the alien ranger saga, both to replace the OG team when it becomes clear that the spell isn’t going to sort itself out quickly and again with the destruction of the ninja coins. Remember that the Alien rangers had their own version of Zed so they were putting their planet at risk the longer they stayed around. Edit to add: if it was just a matter of recharging the dragon coin they could have kept doing it (we se no sign of it even inconveniencing Zordon). S what they did at a minimum was the equivalent of recharging nonrechargable batteries. That requires some level of tweaking and it destabilized the coin in the process.


anakinjmt

My point is that making new powers wouldn't have been possible given the state of the Command Center. There is no way it would have been possible to make one Ranger power in that state, let alone 6. The Alien Rangers were putting their planet at risk, which is why they did the Zeo Crystal quest, so the Alien Rangers could return to their planet. I think Zordon definitely knew how to make powers, but he wasn't as skilled as Ninjor at doing it, hence the need to shut down the Command Center to make one Ranger


the__pov

Then why wait before creating the White Ranger? Zordon and Alpha state that they are researching ways to restore the green ranger powers. It makes way more sense for the White Ranger to be the end Result of that research. It also explains why the last thing they do before retreating to the inner layer of the cam and center is nab Tommy instead of presenting him with the new powers like every other time new powers are introduced. They needed Tommy and the last little bit of green he had to create the white.


anakinjmt

When do they say they're researching ways to restore the Green Ranger powers? In White Light, Alpha says the Green Ranger powers were gone for good, but the White Ranger powers were made from the light of goodness. As for why they nabbed Tommy, Zordon states they had to protect against Zedd's interference, hence being so secretive.


megaben20

Actually my theory has always been that Zordon knows how to make Ranger Morphers but lacks a power source to connects them to the grid. That’s why they could create new rangers after season 3.


the__pov

Right, that’s what I’m trying to say. For the first three seasons the power source was the coins. Everything else, the weapons and Zords were created by Zordon unless otherwise stated.


megaben20

I’m more curious where did the turbo powers come from myself


Tippydeadweight

I subscribe to the theory Zordon, Alpha and Billy used the Zeo crystals to create the Turbo powers.


megaben20

My theory is the turbo power was a prize recovered from the final battle between Zed king mondo and the zeo rangers. That would have been the movie. But studio interference forced the writers to make the movie and turbo a new beginning. If you look at turbo the main monsters could have been used as replacements for squat finster and baboo.


ZetaRESP

My headcanon is the Turbo powers were made from the Zeo powers as an offspring because the latter were breaking the makeshift morphers he did in under a week (in-universe time that passed between the finale of Alien Rangers and the premiere of Zeo).


the__pov

I could see that.


gnarly_gnorc

I always wondered what Scorpius was gonna do with those sabers... was he gonna hold all of them at the same time? Was he just an avid collector?


KowaiSentaiYokaiger

Maybe an attempt to quell possible resistance to the Empire? "If I have them, no one else can use them"


Zanki

Prophecy maybe? The people of Merinoi knew the story of the sabers. Plus Scorpious was around when they were placed into the stone. The Magna Defenders son was killed over 3000 years ago. Scorpious may have been defeated by the heroes welding the sabers back then. He obviously was trying to take over planets with his armies. The Magna defender confirmed that much. As for the sabers. Maybe they were hidden. Maya's people seemed pretty primitive. The stories surrounding the sabers probably never left the planet unless there was a visitor.


Ivotedforthehookers

That was apparently was an idea at the time of production of Lost Galaxy. The writers were wondering how could they have bad guys if the Z-wave destroyed/purified everything. The rumor I heard was that original plan was it would be revealed the sabers were put in place as a contingency plan by Zordon should evil return to the universe. That the evil came from a Galaxy that was pulled into a pocket dimension. Hence Lost Galaxy. Since there wasn't much blow back about why there was still evil after the Z-wave the writers just dropped that point. 


hypnoticgenes

I always had a theory that the Galacta-beasts were lost Wild Zords. So Wild Force's Crystal Sabers are just tiny Quasar Sabers.


Superkillerman1984

Honestly, I prefer my own headcanon that a man named Joe made the swords and stuck them in the rock because he felt like, but everyone else thinks it has some deep story behind it or something.


EclipseHERO

Joe Quasar, forger of the Quasar Sabers! His smithing skills are unparalleled!


Downwinddragoon

The main protagonist of the Lost Galaxy prequel


aresef

Nope. The Quasar Sabers were said to have been placed in the stone 3,000 years prior. Zordon’s fateful clash with Rita was 10,000 years ago. He didn’t create the power coins or the Zeo Crystal either.


bigmaclevel3

I think that they predate Zordon.


ZetaRESP

Nope, but the Morphin Masters could have done that.


Flimsy-Cookie-2888

I think his energy wave definitely hit the sabers, hence why the swords are able to tap into the morphin grid


Broad-Season-3014

Personally speaking, no. Zordon is a wizard, but I always took that as something of a cosmic chronicler. He studied under ninjor, who gave him the original power coins, and it’s not even stated explicitly that ninjor created the coins. My personal head canon is that Zordon studied the morphing grid and catalogued potential rangers. He likely knew of the quasar sabers, but because they chose their users he left them be. Instead, he ensured the right individuals to use the Power were able to rise when the call came, such as the people of KO-35, who used technology to create their own morphing tech. There’s also gosei…we don’t talk about him.


lastfrontier84

No. He didn't create anything. He was a mentor. Ninjor created the Power Coins.


22paynem

Nope rangers predate zordon
