Respawn made a lot of hardcore Star Wars fans very happy when they announced that the orange lightsaber - a colour that was erased from continuity when Disney rebooted the Expanded Universe in 2012 - would be available in the game. It's locked behind a pre-order bonus unfortunately, but it looks FANTASTIC, and is one of a couple lightsaber colours the studio brought back into canon with Fallen Order's release.

Joining orange as a returning blade are magenta (previously used by Mara Jade in Legends continuity), indigo and cyan. They all look tremendous, and in supplying more kinds of kyber crystals to the new continuity, Respawn have brought back one of the most beloved elements of the old canon.
