This is why Ahsoka has white lightsabers and what each color means

Star Wars: Ahsoka is just around the corner, the series starring a character who in record time has become one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe is set to be a complete success. There are many questions that have risen around Ahsoka, especially for those who have not been able to see the character in other productions, and one of them will surely be why her lightsabers are white..

Lightsabers are one of the most recognizable symbols from the Star Wars saga, the Jedi weapon per excellence and since the premiere of the first film in 1977 we have not stopped seeing versions of all kinds. Those of Ahsoka Tano are undoubtedly the most peculiar, with that curvature in the handle reminiscent of daggers, and of course each with kyber crystals, the material used by the Jedi and Sith as power sources for their sabers.

The reason why Ahsoka has white lightsabers is explained in the Star Wars novel written by E.K. Johnston which focuses on the character. Initially, the color of Ahsoka’s saber was a regular one (sometimes green, sometimes blue), but after leaving the Order and hiding so as not to be eliminated after Order 66, everything changed. The Kyber crystals that she uses in her saber were recovered from a Sith, so she had to realign them with the light side of the force in order to use them, and the result was that the color of her lightsabers became white. It shows the balance of strength and independence that Ahsoka commands.
