Originally, the color of Luke's new lightsaber was blue, the same as the one he lost in L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980). Luke can even be seen wielding a blue lightsaber in early movie trailers. However, when a scene of Luke assembling and activating his new lightsaber, (still blue), was cut, George Lucas thought the audience might not understand that Luke's new lightsaber was not the same one he lost on Cloud City. To avoid confusion, Lucas decided to change the color from blue to green, making it clear that Luke was using a new light-saber. (As part of the Expanded Universe, Legends, Luke's original light-saber, used by his father and given to him by Obi-Wan, was recovered (along with his severed hand) from Cloud City and was later wielded by a Luke clone. Luke later recaptured this lightsaber and presented it to Mara Jade, his love and future wife.) (The cover art for this movie shows Luke wielding a blue lightsaber though.)
