The space battle features the Blue Squadron of X-wings (as well as Red Squadron and Gold Squadron already known from the original Guerre stellari (1977)). Blue Squadron was supposed to be in the original film, but because the blue color on the fighters created issues with the blue screen technique that could not be overcome with the technology available in 1977, the color was changed to Red. This also provides a plot point to explain why Blue squadron is not seen in the (chronologically) later films, as Blue Squadron is the only squadron to go down to the Surface of Scarif, and is ultimately wiped out in the battle.
