Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for the Ahsoka finale.
Summary
- Ezra's new blue lightsaber in the Ahsoka finale could signify his role as a Jedi Guardian and his return to his roots as a Jedi.
- The color change from green to blue represents Ezra's evolution in his path as a Jedi.
- Both Ezra and Luke play crucial roles as Jedi Guardians and Consulars respectively in protecting the galaxy in the New Republic Era.
In the Ahsoka finale, Ezra Bridger constructs a new blue lightsaber that foretells what his role will be in future Star Wars projects. Initially, Ezra refused to take back his old lightsaber from Sabine Wren in Ahsoka episode 7. Instead, he employed a unique fighting style against Shin Hati and Thrawn’s Night Troopers. By combing his faith in the Force with hand-to-hand combat, Ezra expertly held his own against a slew of enemies. However, despite insisting the Force was all he needed, his duty as a Jedi demanded him to wield a blade once more in the Ahsoka finale.
Ezra’s new lightsaber hilt holds a lot of personal significance for him. Not only is his emitter related to the one Kanan Jarrus used in Star Wars Rebels, but Ezra’s new lightsaber color represents a return to his roots. His first lightsaber in Rebels season 1 was a blue blade with a blaster attachment, and was later destroyed by Darth Vader on Malachor. This prompted him to craft a green lightsaber, now belonging to Sabine Wren. The fact that Ezra’s new lightsaber is blue shows that he’s come full-circle as a Jedi, however, it’s change in color may also hold a much deeper significance according to Star Wars Legends.
