Star Wars continues to throw surprises our method about what actually occurred in the course of the occasions of the unique trilogy.

As if Darth Vader monitoring down Padmé Amidala’s tomb wasn’t sufficient, it is now been revealed that Luke Skywalker received his palms on a yellow lightsaber following the occasions of The Empire Strikes Back.

His quest noticed him meet Verla, a Force-sensitive human who was virtually a Jedi, however she did not take kindly to seeing Vader’s son. The final challenge ended together with her leaving Luke to a watery loss of life which is the place the brand new challenge picks up.

R2-D2 manages to save lots of Luke by knocking out Verla and when she regains consciousness, Luke lets her go after he tells her that he noticed Verla providing him a lightsaber in a imaginative and prescient.

The solely downside is that Verla would not have a lightsaber to provide him – however she is aware of the place he can get one. Verla sends him to an “old Jedi outpost from the High Republic days”, in a nod to the upcoming Star Wars collection set throughout that point.

On Tempes, Luke finds the temple and a yellow lightsaber, the type wielded by a Jedi Temple Guard, though they often had a double blade and the one Luke finds seems to have been reduce in half.

It makes it look extra just like the yellow lightsaber that Rey created for herself on the finish of The Rise of Skywalker. It’s lucky for Luke that it stills works, even reduce in half, as he quickly finds himself up towards none apart from the Grand Inquisitor.

We had thought that the Grand Inquisitor died within the season one finale of Star Wars Rebels, however it appears that evidently, by some means, Vader is utilizing an undead, spirit-like model of him to kill anyone who seeks out the temple.

Vader senses that his “trap has been sprung” and heads to Tempes, arriving after Luke has defeated the Grand Inquisitor and left to reunite with Leia and the Fourth Division of the Rebel Fleet.

Luke exhibits the remainder of them the yellow lightsaber he now possesses, giving them hope that they will defeat the Empire. (Spoiler alert, they do.)

This marks the top of The Destiny Path arc, however not the top of this present collection. We do not but know what story the subsequent arc will inform, though since Luke would not have a yellow lightsaber in Return of the Jedi, what occurs to it would possible function in it.

We know that the Darth Vader comedian will begin to tie in with The Rise of Skywalker, so might this collection begin to give hints as to what we will count on within the High Republic? Luke visiting a temple energetic throughout that interval is probably going not only a coincidence.

For now, we’ll simply have to attend till the subsequent challenge lands in October.
