The orange lightsaber in Ahsoka’s series is no accident

Filoni admitted in an interview that it was his creative decision. This was influenced by Darth Vader’s light from A New Hope, which in the original version of the film changed color due to visual effects and was sometimes more orange than red.

I made it a little more orange. it was intentional. I didn’t want them to be completely red. I remember as a kid, Vader’s lightsaber from visual effects turned a little more orange. I didn’t want to go straight to orange. Nothing accidental.
