Hey Ady did you ever plan on changing the stormtroopers laser blasts to blue like in the prequels? Or do you just plan on changing the prequels to match the OT?

I personally don't have a problem with the clones having blue blasts and everyone else having red. I don't really have a justification why except that the blue looks really awesome. Besides, it would be really hard/impossible to change the clone blasts to red, with the hundreds of thousands of blasts during the Battle of Geonosis alone, especially when the dust flies up and the air is lit bright blue as the troops continue to shoot through the dust...

Sorry, I love those shots for some reason.

Anyway, I'm sure Adywan never really considered changing the stormtroopers' blasts to blue, since that would be bringing the prequels into the OT, which he tries to avoid. I'm not sure how we can justify that with an "in universe" explanation, but I'm sure George didn't have a reason other than the Battle of Geonosis would be really confusing if they were all shooting red at one another.

And blue is awesome.
