Summary
- Ahsoka season 1 embraced the mysticism of the Jedi and Force-wielding, using lightsaber duels to shape the tone and direction of the show.
- Ahsoka's lightsabers broke a Star Wars record, demonstrating their importance to the overall story and increasing the stakes of her mission.

Ahsoka season 1 is now streaming in its entirety on Disney+, and one of the things the show will be remembered for is its expert use of lightsabers—and the sheer number of them. Most of the main characters wielded a lightsaber of some kind during Ahsoka, but it was never overwhelming or unnatural. In a franchise that has recently shied away from the mysticism of the Jedi and Force-wielding, that side of Star Wars was fully embraced by Ahsoka’s writer and creator Dave Filoni.
Ahsoka’s focus on lightsabers and lightsaber duels was purposeful and had Star Wars audiences engaged in another story of a Jedi finding their way in multiple galaxies. Ahsoka had so many lightsabers featured it broke a Star Wars record, further demonstrating how important these elegant weapons were to the show overall. The lightsaber duels in Ahsoka were incredibly well-choreographed and helped shape the overall tone and direction of the show. The duels increased the stakes of Ahsoka Tano’s mission and allowed her to literally fall and get back up, with a dozen lightsabers involved in the story.

From her first appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, Ahsoka Tano has always carried one standard lightsaber blade. During the Clone Wars, Ahsoka wielded one green blade that she generally held in an unusual reverse grip, which has since become closely associated with the character. In Ahsoka episode 5, the first flashback Anakin Skywalker sends Ahsoka into is one of their first missions together on the planet Ryloth, and a young Ahsoka—played by Ariana Greenblatt—wields only one standard green lightsaber.
