Dave Filoni Has Changed One Of His Most Mystical Additions To Jedi Lore

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Ahsoka episode 8.
Summary

• Ezra Bridger quickly and unremarkably builds a new lightsaber in the Ahsoka finale, lacking the spiritual and mystical process seen in The Clone Wars.
• The haste in which Ezra constructs his lightsaber diminishes the significance of the moment, despite it symbolizing the start of a new phase in his life.
• The lack of spiritual connection and emotional resonance in Ezra's lightsaber construction scene in Ahsoka contrasts with the meaningful and profound experience portrayed in The Clone Wars.

Dave Filoni has changed one of his most mystical additions to Star Wars lore in the Ahsoka finale. A lot happened in the final episode of Ahsoka, including Ezra Bridger building a new lightsaber from scratch on Huyang and Ahsoka’s ship. Ezra had been without a lightsaber for years after defeating Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels and ending up stranded on Peridea, and while he utilized the Force expertly against Shin Hati and Thrawn’s Night Troopers in Ahsoka episode 7, he wisely realized he’d need more in the fight against Thrawn and his forces as he, Sabine, and Ahsoka stormed the Great Mothers’ fortress.
Now, Ezra once again has a blue lightsaber, just like his first lightsaber in Rebels, with the touching addition of an emitter identical to the one used by his Master, the fallen Jedi Kanan Jarrus. However, the scene in which Ezra builds his third lightsaber is wildly different from a scene in Dave Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which depicts a group of younglings crafting their very first lightsabers after finding their kyber crystals on the planet Ilum. Ezra’s lightsaber construction scene in the Ahsoka finale is decidedly less spiritual.

The Clone Wars Portrayed Making A Lightsaber As A Mystical Experience In Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 5, episode 7 “A Test of Strength,” a group of younglings construct their very first lightsabers. Huyang, who is introduced in this episode, guides them through the process of picking out their materials and the general construction methods that are needed to build a sufficient lightsaber. What the episode also shows, though, is that building a lightsaber is not just about finding some spare parts in a drawer and putting them together, but that a Jedi must connect with their crystals, feeling the weight and shape of the blade in their hand before they’ve even begun looking for materials and using the Force to slowly, meticulously bring each part together to build the perfect lightsaber. In The Clone Wars, building a lightsaber is a mystical and spiritual process.
