Luke Redeems an Ancient Sith & Learns How to Save Vader (CANON)

[@georgecostan3248]

Imagine such a moment in Return of the Jedi - it would have elevated the movie a whole lot.

[@BrianMarrino236]

What an important lesson about healing and helping others, assuring that no one is beyond help nor alone. There will always ALWAYS be Hope and Redemption

[@Sadeness99]

@@BrianMarrino236 I wish this would be used in more anime stories/movies. Instead of the villains always just getting killed because they "should" die because of how evil they were or destructive they are.

[@BrianMarrino236]

@@Sadeness99 Well that depends because I must never dwell on the past. Past Villains whose fates were all to die I must never cure but kill instead

It would have been elevated if there were no Ewoks in the movie.

[@georgecostan3248]

Yes, replacing the Ewoks stuff.

[@RokBraker]

It seems that part of Luke's destiny was to help Anakin reach his final form as seen in Ahsoka.

[@miguelarcangelolmedalopez1331]

Amazing history. One of the best I have ever heard of Luke Skywalker between the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi

[@nicholase82]

Honestly I would love to see a clone wars like show based on what happens between the flimsy.

[@Red-Renegade-Studios]

I think I like it better with Luke redeeming Vader purely by Faith alone. Him having experience changing a Sith in the past kinda takes away the huge risk he's taking when confronting his father. Because when alike confronts Vader Luke doesn't know for certain if this is going to work. But he believes that there's still good in him because he was once a good man in the past. So, I get that Disney is trying to provide an explanation for how Luke "learned" how to redeem someone, but I like it better when Luke took a chance at a decision no one else considered. As it had never been done before

[@TheMan-je5xq]

Yes because when he knows what he’s doing it’s more of a strategic move than a genuine attempt to reach the man inside the machine

[@Red-Renegade-Studios]

@@TheMan-je5xq I'm confused. Are you saying you agree or disagree with what I was saying?😅

[@TheMan-je5xq]

@@Red-Renegade-Studios I opened with yes so that means I agree with you. Luke is meant to be heroic in that moment not calculating which is what he’d be if he knew what he was doing

[@Red-Renegade-Studios]

@@TheMan-je5xq Oh right. Sorry😅 I'm so used to people disagreeing with me. Well I'm glad you agree. Luke is supposed to be heroic and is because he believes that change is possible. Besides there is no strategy to change someone's mind and even if there is that same approach isn't guaranteed to work in everyone.

[@TheMan-je5xq]

@@Red-Renegade-Studios well it is a strategy which is why I don’t like the idea of talking to a therapist or a psychologist because they are trained to essentially manipulate you rather than someone who is just talking to you as a human being and not as a patient

[@silentone3357]

Apparently 50 issue of this run would be the last one. It would be nice if they made return of the Jedi deleted scene where luke constructs his lightsaber canon again.

[@jaieregilmore971]

Even though I prefer legends on how he got his green crystal but this comic is beautiful shows Luke is worthy of being a Jedi no a grandmaster he always meant to be a believer of redemption and a reformer of the Jedi order.

[@Lachdanun]

Legends has been tossed in the garbage bin. See disney. But the original green crystal was artificial and almost ended Luke.. but it was from a sith holocron. It was very impressive nonetheless.. Vader complimented it and probably thought, only my son could form such art of tech..(edit it was a moment Vader or Anikan was proud of Luke in expanding into his teachings.).

[@Tuturial464]

Until dosney ruined it with the sequals

[@timewarpdrive77]

Unfortunately this leads to the sequels

[@jaieregilmore971]

@@timewarpdrive77 The sequels really doesn’t really matter in the overall story of Star Wars it just try continue a story that is already finished let’s be honest whole trilogy is rehashed of OG trilogy with the ending is a depressing note.

[@timewarpdrive77]

@@jaieregilmore971 They don't matter, but every disney product acts like they do

[@RashiiKitsuke]

I feel that was an amazingly powerful way to show how he came to think as he did when he faced Vader again.

[@soyevquirsefron990]

The book is always better than the movie

[@RainSpitter]

With the acolyte series Star Wars witchcraft references have become clear to me. The whole lore change around the kiber cristal’s is based in cristal charging which is witchcraft but on top of that get a load of this picture 8:18. Anybody sees the Luke sleeping in the floor with the candles around him? Star Wars force wouldn’t need rituals like that. To my understanding the only ones who would do such rituals where the Sith because they seek to bend the force to their will. This are occult practices in open sight.

[@andrewmcleod9312]

Damn straight it is...

[@marcdescoteaux8219]

Best Star Wars story I've heard. Thank you for sharing.

[@MrScaryPasta]

Even though Disney ruins its own canon, this to me still feels like something Luke Skywalker would do in Legends. I feel like this could fit into the old EU we all know and love. We also know that Luke is a Jedi who doesn’t falter or break easily. The only time he did, he moved past that and learned from it. Luke continued to wow us til his death in 144 ABY.

[@nitePhyyre]

He was 156 when he died?

[@MrScaryPasta]

@@nitePhyyre Yep. Luke lived a very long time. In the EU his Skywalker blood kept him alive longer than most Purge survivors. In fact, he even transcended into a ghost and guided his descendants as well.

[@YoungKolivon451]

Seeing this and how Luke got his it makes me want to know how Ahsoka did it not once but twice to be honest someone needs to make a cannon story about that

[@derais6162]

Ashokas time period was easier to get. Palestine mined the planet of Kyber and took everything he could find to make the Death Star laser. I’m sure the order had kyber on hand before it was taken down. Luke takes someone else’s crystal and heals the bleeding and ta da he has his.

[@seanbigay1042]

Ahhh, now THAT was a great Star Wars story. (Or the summary thereof.) I think Luke and that nice Mr. Kent from Smallville would get along just fine. (They're both farmboys, after all.)

[@GCJACK83]

This is what gets me concerning the irrational hatred of that certain recent series I won't name because it triggers idiots. As an IP, Star Wars has a history almost 50 years long and they keep adding to the series canon with every novel, comic, tv show, movie, and video game that's made. We've even seen stories set thousands of years before Luke Skywalker's existence, all adding to the canon. And always there's a section of idiots who hate on any new additions because they don't see how it fits into the story yet. Just because the end of the path isn't visible yet, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist at all. You just haven't traveled the path far enough to see the end and sometimes? Sometimes the "end" is a fork in the path with both options eventually leading to the same or different places. Just like how Luke, in this comic issue, knows his destiny is to confront and possibly save D.V but he can't see the path to it yet.

[@timewarpdrive77]

sure buddy

[@Thaumh]

Well *NOW* I want to know what happened to that healed crystal! Great.

[@kdnofyudbn5918]

Great Story!

[@JamesSkywalker1990]

So the way Luke did to the Sith Lightsaber crystal was similar to the way of how Ahsoka managed to purify the inquisitor’s lightsaber, but his process takes more effort to reach it because the user of this Sith was much stronger than a mere inquisitor

[@elisabethcordeamidala-skyw5066]

WOW! Holy cow, Luke!

[@jedisenshi5510]

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't Greta’s people originally featured in the EU/Legends trilogy The Black Fleet Crisis by Michael P. Kube-McDowell?

[@RetneysHolocron]

I know they are from Legends, but I haven’t gotten to that trilogy yet!

[@edwarddillanger5922]

Actually; Greta's people made their first appearance in the 1971 classic "Willy Wanka and the Chocolate factory". They featured as laborer's in the title character's factory.

[@Lachdanun]

Yes the green crystal was artificial. Sith originally formed this technique which was extremely dangerous

[@matthartley8493]

Is there a collection of these comics in a "graphic novel" type of format?

[@thelibrary2]

Clean narrative

[@rgarbacz]

So I have a question: Has Luke ever healed Vader's red kyber crystal?

[@RetneysHolocron]

Not that I'm aware of!

[@joncarroll2040]

It would be hard to do since Vader's saber falls down the reactor shaft when Luke cuts off his hand in RotJ

[@rgarbacz]

@@joncarroll2040 indeed, good point, however it would have been a heck of a story for Luke to wander through his father's kyber crystal.

[@MrWill9002]

Kinda hard to do that when that lightsaber fell down a shaft and blew up with the Death Star II
