How did Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber end up in Maz Kanata's hands? The iconic blade was last seen falling from Cloud City in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, yet somehow ended up playing a crucial role in the sequel trilogy. Fans have been confounded by the conundrum of where Luke's lightsaber is for over four decades – since the Jedi Knight's climactic fight with his dear daddy Darth Vader. Now, thanks to a new Star Wars comic, we finally have an answer.
The reveal comes on the final splash page for Star Wars #2 (H/T ). Luke’s famous blue lightsaber tumbles down Cloud City and is caught by… a hooded figure in ꦇa robe. Their identity hasn’t been revealed yet – you’ll have to buy issue #3 to see what happens next – but the unknown person speaks three intriguing words: “Follow your destiny.”
Although it was p♛reviously easy to assume that someone, somewhere, picked up the iconic weapon, it’s nice to finally know the fate of Luke’s lightsaber. Howe🌱ver, there's still no news on if anyone caught his hand...
Whether the Marvel comic series will chart the course of Luke’s lightsaber until it makes its way to Rey in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens remains to be seen, but it’s undeniably cool to see more gaps in the lore being filled in by ✃supplementary material.
The great Star Wars Legends purge, which made all Expanded Universe side stories and comics non-canon back in 2014🅰, saw a bunch of hidden corners of the univ✨erse return to being left unexplored, including the lightsaber's fate. In the Legends stories, the blade was eventually recovered by Darth Vader after being found by a Cloud City employee. Star Wars #2 changes that, and makes the hooded figure canon.
Star Wars #3 – which may clue us in on the person now in possession of Luke’s lightsaber – is due out on February 26, while the solicitation for future issues on the (possible spoilers) suggests March’s fourth issue will feature Luke on the hunt for his missing lightsaber🐽.
