That's an indication of your force points getting too low. Before the latest patch, it would usually begin to lose the colour the lower your force meter got. It's just an indication that you have little force/stamina left. The same happens to the enemy.
As of the current patch it just seems to go thin in colour and then white once you have a few force points left on the meter.
