Decoding the Latest Star Wars Controversies and Revelations.

The first trailer for the upcoming Disney+ show Ahsoka has sparked debate among Star Wars fans over the orange lightsabers wielded by new characters Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. Showrunner Dave Filoni confirmed that the blades are indeed orange for a specific reason, hinting that the characters may not be what viewers initially think. One theory is that the orange lightsabers are partially bled kyber crystals, indicating that the characters are tapping into the dark side. Another theory involves time travel and the High Republic era, suggesting that the characters are Jedi (or former Jedi) from that time period who have traveled to the post-Return of the Jedi era seen in The Mandalorian series.
