Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker - Every Easter Egg & Reference You Must See

3. Rey's Yellow Lightsaber

The Rise of Skywalker ends with Rey returning to Tatooine to bury Luke and Leia's lightsabers, after which it's revealed that she has finally constructed her own saber, which emits a yellow hue.

Those paying close attention will notice that the saber is actually fashioned out of Rey's staff.

The yellow colour is meanwhile significant because in Star Wars lore it's an extremely rare colour of lightsaber typically adopted by "Sentinels," Force users who attempt to find a balance between the mental and physical aspects of the Force.

In The Clone Wars, the Jedi Temple guards wield double-bladed yellow lightsabers, and the character of Asajj Ventress also boasts a yellow-tinted laser sword.
