Some of the most important steps along the road in any Jedi are to create their own lights, and inside Star Wars: The Awakening of Skywalker, our hero Rey finally gets that chance. This is the first time in Star Wars films that we have seen a character create their own torch, rather than make it in the middle of a sequence, so it is only fitting that Rey's lamp feature is off. But like everything else related to Jedi this discovery came through Jedi history.
(Vol. Note: this post contains spoilers from Star Wars: The Awakening of Skywalker)
Before we see him working with his new torch we can already tell a few things about his design from the design of the weapon. The only thing that quickly became clear was that Rey never left his loyal staff – which apparently included parts of a few lamps – in the construction of his first lamp. It looks like he's used the fate of his staff as a new light emitter, and that part of the middle line has the same amount of fabrics that adorned his staff since we first saw him The Army Awakens
When Rey finally puts his own torch on, we hear the sound of a familiar, yet tangible opening. Because of his bond with this kyber crystal, Rey's lamp has a yellow range. It is the first time in any Star Wars film that the main character has created a flashing light in a unique color, and the first time for anyone to have a flashing light in the Skywalker Saga. But he's not the only Star Wars character to ever have that color.
One example of a bright yellow lightaber appeared in a 2015 canon novel Black Sin, when Asajj Ventress, a one-time student of Count Dooku, bought a yellow saber on the black market. Unfortunately, with such an illegal source, we don't know much about the history of that assignment.
Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi fighter of Anakin Skywalker (also a favorite of Star Wars fans in the EU), also used a green light bulb to Clone Wars cartoon series. This was a shoto lamp technician, meaning the range was too short to be easily referred to as the Jedi's left weapon. Unfortunately, we don't know much about how the weapon came into its specific color.
Most of the information we have about the yellow lights comes out for use by the Jedi Temple guards. The temple guards, not two, stand out Star Wars: Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, they had torch lamps, which were lighter in color that were almost always yellow in color. Whenever a large group of luminaries share a different color in Star Wars, it's worth checking whether there is a connection. And in the case of The rise of the Skywalker

After Samuel L. Jackson personally requested the gray scandal of the prequel films, the dam broke out in the lightsaber culture. All the colors of the sky have gained an impression beyond the Star Wars viewing story, in everything from recent times Jedi: The Fallen Order (where you can use the yellow metal after you hit the game) at Disney & # 39; s Star Wars: The Galaxy & # 39; s Edge, where you can build and purchase an image of Rey's new weapon for a cool $ 199.99.
The yellow stain is getting bigger, but in the movies, it's still the other way around. By having their hero choose the traditional colors of the Jedi Temple guards, Abrams and fellow writer Chris Terrio have set Rey as the defender of the Jedi heritage. While we do not know that Rey also has a sense of Jedi color history, her yellow torch provides a bit of closure to her story, and a sense of what her future holds.
