I know I'm not the only one, but I wish we could actually finally see some yellow lightsabers in action onscreen, but I'm not holding my breath... I think Lucas' blue/green (or purple if you're one particular guy) = good / red = bad idiocy is too firmly entrenched in the popular imagination for Disney to ever find itself inclined to shake things up like that... Shame, really.  

TCW shook up the status quo some by giving Ahsoka a chartreuse shoto alongside her regular green lightsaber, some Jedi Temple guards yellow lightsabers, one Jedi a white lightsaber, and Pre Vizsla his black lightsaber. Rebels seems to be carrying on the tradition, too, as there are pictures on the 'Net of Rebels-era Ahsoka wielding a pair of white/silver-blue lightsabers. So I'd say that the stupid RGB lightsaber colour scheme is slowly but surely being relaxed -- at least for Jedi characters.
