[@The_Lucent_Archangel]

The story behind this from Shadows of the Empire was a minor part of the overall narrative. But of course they had to throw that part out along with the rest of it, because it explained it as Luke using a furnace type device and meditation to create a crystal. Can't have that, because it would hint at the original Sith notion of alchemically producing their saber crystals instead of the edgelord super cringe "bleed my crystal" nonsense that the "Story Group" came up with.

Sorry. Gotta side with the "Shadows of the Empire" origin of Luke's green lightsaber. It has more resonance that he built the saber and fired his own crystal in Ben's hut using the same Sith ritual but harnessing the opposite emotions. It was in important step for him to take on his own to become a Jedi. Plus, it seems unlikely that there would be any place left in the galaxy with kyber crystals that the Empire didn't know about or have strip-mined to make the Death Star or otherwise weaponise.

[@jaieregilmore971]

Agree shadow of the empire explanation is so much better.

[@kylewilliams5454]

The galaxy is a massive place. is it really that hard to believe that their are hidden places with kyber crystals. The empire nor Palpatine know all of these places. Let's think logically.

[@LukiKruki]

So this comic confirmed kyber crystal by default are colorless. I didn't know that. It also allows for another reason why they are green in death star and red in starkiller base.

[@logicplague]

This! Blue = natural kyber Red = synthetic kyber, made by Sith Green = synthetic kyber, made by Jedi It's simple, it works, and it didn't break any canon at the time. Really would have made Luke's new Jedi order stand out as something different from the old with them all having green sabers, as well of being a constant reminder of what the Empire did. A blue crystal would become an exceedingly rare thing. Disney is overcomplicating this, they might as well be mood rings at this point. Oh no, his saber's turning red, he's going dark side..oh wait, it's orange, he's a dark jedi who's evil but not all the way..

There’s a part of me that wishes Luke had used Qui-Gon’s crystal, but I also think it’s good that new canon is showing Luke forging his own path forward. I think both are solid, even if the new canon is putting a bit too much science into the mysticism of how things work.

[@empac8631]

I liked the idea that it was Qui Gon’s too. In the books Obi kept the green saber for a short period of time and even on the mythos statue from sideshow it shows Obi/Ben with his lightsaber and Qui Gon’s on his belt too, I liked to think that Ben always knew he wouldn’t be around to train Luke fully and kept Qui Gon’s saber all these years so Luke would have a crystal when he finally goes to make his own lightsaber

[@anthonyvulgamore8843]

It might actually work

[@ThePrince1835]

Yeah not everything has to be connected to previous characters, using qui gon's saber takes away from Luke becoming his own person. And I think the science and mystical combination is perfect, gives some new flavor to star wars and it's pretty cool and creative the way they've done this issue

[@priestesslucy]

The Legends take was also scientific. Obiwan knew valid Focusing Crystals were incredibly hard to come by in the Empire {don't recall if they were a controlled substance or just something it would have been too slow for Luke to try to track down with imperials breathing down his neck} so he left behind notes on how the Sith synthesized their Lightsaber focusing crystals. Luke became one of the first Jedi to make his lightsaber crystal in a little home -meth- lab in Ben's house on Tattooine

[@dls1970]

Feel you 1,000,000-percent, here.

[@Nico-9138]

That little sentence of Yoda is actually pretty deep and logical as often. Luke sometimes feels the Force pulled out of him, it frustrates him that his power in not always available or at its full maximum. He wants more and reacts negatively when it isn't brought to him, showing how easy it is to fall in the Dark Side's trap. On the other hand, Yoda trusts the Force, that even if it weakens some period, it will find him again in due time. Yoda respects the will of the Force as a Jedi should. A Jedi lets the Force flow through him, dialogues with it and is thankfull for it. A Sith only seeks ambitious, power and destruction, and will bend the Force against its will. Again a very deep, coherent demonstration of the Force workings.

[@ABadassDragon]

Corrupting and purifying crystals is one of the things i straight up like more than how it was. It makes it more belivable that the crystals are alive and in tune with the wielder and not just some rock from a cave

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

I agree for sure, I'll never like Disney Star Wars but letting the colour of the crystal be formed by bonding/bleeding is a way cooler idea makes the colour itself much more personal to the wielder, instead of just picking a green/blue crystal from a cave

[@NPClownumber81googolplex]

Which is cringe...

[@swolecapybara]

I much prefer Luke making his own crystal instead of harvesting Qui-Gon’s. Doing so would make the universe feel small, and Luke’s lightsaber wouldn’t feel like his since he’d have a near exact copy of Obi-Wan’s hilt with Qui-Gon’s crystal. But with this change, Luke pays a slight homage to his first master while still having a crystal that truly belongs to him. I’m glad it was done this way.

The whole idea of a bled kyber being shaped to mirror its bleeder is cool. Makes sense that, in order to heal it, you have to confront the source of the crystal's trauma: the dark sider who tortured it. Luke at this point wasn't experienced enough to do that, but Ashoka definitely was, hence her purified crystal sabers. As for using Qui-gonn's crystal, it wouldn't have worked for the same reason the others didn't work for Luke. It wasn't HIS crystal. He didn't choose it, nor did it choose him.

[@violetbumbles9310]

I think that the crystal wasn't chosen at random, I think they picked it out for luke because it was calling for him as it would when the jedi used to go and retrieve their crystals from the cave

[@themerciless3434]

I think the new ideal is interesting but instead of him talking to the blank crystal. I would agree if he took qui-gon crystal then used it to communicate with it for him become accepted by the crystal. Which could of led to luke and qui-gon meeting each other in this force ghost realm. Which I think would make this much more interesting book and sort of must read as well.

[@angriestjoker]

Regardless of which story it is, either this comic or the Shadows of the Empire story, I much prefer the idea of Luke creating his own Kyber crystal rather than using Qui-Gon’s. A Jedi’s crystal and the journey to acquiring it is suppose to be personal and unique to said Jedi. Using Qui-Gon’s would be interesting, but would ultimately have that underlying feeling of not truly being Luke’s. I also like this story of Luke seeing Yoda and having this discussion of the force because it fits nicely with what the green color is meant to represent. Someone with a strong connection and mastery of the force.

I don’t totally dislike this… but I always wanted Luke to make a connection with Qui-Gon’s kyber crystal. Since Obi-Wan kept Qui-Gon’s saber, it would’ve been cool if Luke heard it calling to him from Ben’s hut. Luke helped fulfill the prophecy that Qui-Gon devoted so much of his time to understanding. Like George Lucas would say, “it’s like poetry, it rhymes.”

[@stevenschnepp576]

[@WolfeSaber]

I remember from a book I had that talked about Lightsabers and their crystals. In it, the crystal for the saber Like had after Episode Five was synectic, much like what it said about Sith crystals, that they are not nature, but forged. Also, I understand the guy Luke went to in his comic, as I've already knew crystals can conduct the Force, and there are crystals that can control machines and be Jedi themselves. Luke even recruited them for his new order.

[@DavidM_10]

Part of me likes the idea of "bleeding" and "purifying" crystals, but I think Disney are overcomplicating it. Crystals shouldn't be sentient, IMO. That's too much like Harry Potter. They should just be rare and valuable objects that are sensitive to the Force. Pour Dark Side energy into a crystal, and it glows red; pour Light Side energy into it and it glows blue or green, depending on whether you're a "guardian" or a "consular" -- a fighter or a thinker -- at heart.

[@timewellspent8137]

[@DavidM_10]

@@timewellspent8137 I think that's debatable. He was always on the front lines in the Clone Wars. He's a thinker compared to Anakin, lol. And it makes sense that there's some crossover between guardians and consulars. It's probably not an exact science. More of a general guideline.

​@@timewellspent8137obi wan was brilliant and a great tactician yeah. I wouldn't say he was a philosopher of the force tho. I'd say the consular role is the philosopher aspect. Where as obi wan would ask "how" qui gon would ask "why". I think that's the main difference and why his saber is blue.

[@AshanBhatoa]

This is overemphasised. It's not too complex, it's sensible as it pertains to the two aspects of the Force. The Living and Cosmic Force, respectfully. The kyber crystal is in essence just a rudimentary object, with some capacity to feel. Force-sensitivity occurs exclusively within life. Hence, kyber crystals themselves being sensitive to the Force, implies a degree of life. Not completely, however.

[@kevinbaumhoer7359]

nahh the Idea is Bad in the Canon there are only Two Ways to Creat a Kyber crstal one is found Naturally and the Other is Artiffial Created Sith and Luke used Artificial Cyber Cristals

[@tempest8746]

I think Luke creating his own crystal is more meaningful then finding Qui-Gon's. Sure it would've been cooler if he did find Qui-Gon's. However Luke's masters were Yoda and Obi-Wan not Qui-Gon. So him creating a green kyber crystal like Yoda's and then creating his own lightsaber hilt like Obi-Wan"s just seems far more interesting to me as it really shows how far he has come through his journey and the steps he took. Especially with Yoda and Obi-Wan in there to watch him grow as he developed his own Kyber Crystal showing a great sign of growth. In the end I guess it just depends on what you guys want. One that is more meaningful towards Luke's growth, or one that would've been a cool and emotional impact how we would've viewed Luke's lightsaber with it having Qui-Gon's crystal in it.

[@BoliveiraNTPW]

I like how the crystal color can change depending of the Jedi connection with the force, that’s a cool way to show how a force user is strong .

This took place after ESB but before ROTJ, Luke literally projected himself through the force to speak with Yoda on Dagobah, who was still alive at this point. Similar to how he did with Kylo Ren years later. It wasn't his imagination. As you see Kenobi's ghost speak to Yoda too.

I gotta say, there's a cool sort of Chekhov's Gun-ish subconscious priming here (if you look at the story linearly with the OG trilogy). The idea that Yoda tells Luke about the sun not being gone even during the night. And Luke just goes "duh" (impatiently like Anakin would have hahaha) is a cool setup for the exact philosophy he'll come to integrate in order to redeem Anakin. So I see the Qui Gon option. I've always liked that because Qui Gon deserves some more play (as seen via Tales). But this comic actually sets up 2 of the most fundamental aspects of Luke's character (referring both to his literal character and his ethical character). 1) He is the embodiment of keeping his sights and faith set on the light, even when it's the farthest out of reach it's ever been (seeing Anakin within Vader and Hope within the Rebellion). 2) He didn't go back to Yoda subconsciously because (though he hadn't realized it yet), HE DIDN'T WANT TO LEARN YODA AND OBI WAN'S VERSION OF BEING A JEDI. He didn't want to repeat the Council's Narrative/Paradigm. He wanted to begin to rebuild and recontextualize what the Jedi mean. Caveat --> This overarching philosophy / motivation ^ make him both truly his own man and also his Father's Son. Not only succeeding in remaining in the Light. But succeeding in undermining the failures of the Jedi Way by reinventing it. ---> Anyway, Ive never actually left a comment before. Hope you guys actually read this. I had a few of these revelations as I typed. So thank you for this platform, thanks for caring without being assholes, and thanks Theory, for doing what you do the way you do it.

I wonder if Luke used Qui Gon's Lightsaber parts to build his own green lightsaber since his lightsaber from Return of the Jedi looks so similar to Qui Gon's lightsaber from The Phantom Menace.

But if you can, could you read the other comics for us in order by series so those of us incapable of getting a hold of the comics can have a way to read them? That and hearing the voices would be awesome too. Also, the thing about Qui-Gon's lightsaber, I had always thought it was that way until Legends said it was artificial and Canon said it was this. Like you said, I would have much rather have seen him use Qui-Gon's crystal with Obi-Wan's hilt. It would bring things full circle, and I feel that Luke could bond well with Qui-Gon's crysal as they both have similar views on the Force and the Jedi. But further more, it would have brought things full circle as it was these two lightsabers that defended Anakin and brought him into the Jedi order. These two lightsabers MADE Anakin and served as the blades of his first masters. So it would mean a lot when Darth Vader was examining it closely on Endor. It would be these two blades that bring Anakin back to the lightside. The first time he encountered them, they helped him get on the path to the lightside, and the second time he encounters them, they help him RETURN to the path of the lightside.

I love the old Star Wars comics from the 70s & 80s. The fact that they are non-canon in a way makes them more enjoyable, just whimsical tales featuring our favorite classic characters. No need to try to reconcile them with all the movies, books, and comics that came later.

The editing in these videos, the voices. This is perfect.

To me it seems like the difference between Vader and Lukes vision was their purity. The parts lost to Vader and therefore never were a part of him are still pure hence the blue arms and legs and with luke its the inverse he has felt the pain and suffering of loss as represented through his red hand. Showing that Vader is mostly consumed in the Dark while Luke is mostly consumed in the Light.

[@flowermom3507]

[@betterlatethannever4529]

Exactly. There was nothing wrong with them simply being crystals or any other object that could work inside a lightsaber. Changing how the Crystals work changes everything about the history of lightsabers in Star Wars.

[@LukiKruki]

Well go back to your cave because it's not first time everything changed. I am not talking about Disney alone.

[@GeneralObiWanKenobi212]

I still prefer the theory of Luke using Qui-Gon's lightsaber. A poetic/sentimental gesture passing the crystal of the Jedi Master who trained Obi-Wan and now passing on to Luke to feel a connection to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon through his lightsaber modeled after Obi-Wan Kenobi's.

[@callmev3531]

1:54, considering how Kyber, at least according to auxiliary material surrounding Rogue One and Galen Erso’s story, causing non-Force-sensitives to go insane, it isn’t entirely surprising someone carrying several of these crystals around his neck would start talking to them, even if he isn’t exactly wrong to say that they can technically talk back.

I actually really like this. In Legends throughout his journey Luke sort of just kind of gets hand-me-downs. His first lightsaber is from his father. His second one is made using schematics from Obi-wan and a Sith technique. This lightsaber truly feels like it is Luke Skywalker's lightsaber, and no one else's. It's an issue I've had with most Star Wars media that almost every time you get a lightsaber it doesn't feel like it's your lightsaber, it's just a model of lightsaber that you can customize as you like. And while I find the bleeding lightsaber crystals trying to be a bit edgy, I have to admit Modern Lucasarts is doing a good job of making it feel like whoever owns the lightsaber leaves a significant impact upon it. It's not as simple as just finding the nearest Crystal, putting it in the lightsaber, and then swinging it a couple times. There needs to be a link on a mental and spiritual level or else your quality will suffer. And because of that, it kind of explains why Jedi are so gungho on losing their lightsaber. It isn't just losing your cool weapon, you are losing a piece of yourself that ties you all the more strongly to the force. It is a loss of something spiritual, and it's why losing your lightsaber it's such a big deal, and why after huge moments of growth some people have to completely reforge their lightsaber. It was a lightsaber for a different person.

[@Alizudo]

The main detail I like about this is the Red crystal refusing Luke's help; she doesn't dislike her circumstance.

[@Clawed9]

Dude.. Theory, it was enchanting to hear you go through this comic. Voice over work you did was splendid. I was transptorted into that world for the duration of this video. 🙏

[@nj_purple9451]

I think I like this more than him using qui gon’s crystal because it shows how he has become more independent. until that point he had only used his fathers saber and that yellow saber. I think it would be kinda disappointing if he used another jedi’s crystal instead of just forging his own.

[@matthewbeckham4076]

I'll say this though: I do like this better than it being synthetic crystal. But I do agree with Theory that making it just a generic crystal with no attachment or connection from what came before just doesn't have the same punch to it.

I also agree that the green kyber crystal should have come from Qui-Gon Jinn’s Lightsaber, that’s the story I like better. It makes it feel like Luke had to be resourceful with the limited materials he had since there weren’t many Jedi around to teach him properly in the ways of the force.

I actually really like the stuff in this comic… The fact that Luke was able to visit something that I thought only vader could is very impressive, and essentially every Jedi Khyber crystal is a random crystal that is found, Luke was able to connect with the Crystal, and reconnected with the force, which better prepared him for a fight with Vader

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Because of course they did...

[@Solo13508]

Some context as to why the Force is receding: recently in the timeline an insanely powerful Sith artifact known as the Fermata Cage was destroyed by the Knights of Ren and it's destruction sent a wave of chaotic Force energy throughout the galaxy. Sometimes the Force is so incredibly strong that those normally weak with it can suddenly move mountains. But sometimes the Force recedes to the point where even the most powerful such as Sidious and Vader have difficulty connecting with it. That's about all I can say without writing a whole essay so for those who want the full story I suggest checking out the Hidden Empire comic

[@wyattgerald9832]

[@Alizudo]

The only part I really liked was the idea a red crystal doesn't necessarily _dislike_ being red. I hate the idea of Sith being objectively evil always all the time.

[@pepperoniJones]

@Alizudo huh? Bro the entire franchise is based on the idea of sith being inherently evil. The entire ideology of the dark side is that it is malevolent and cruel and callous its just a fact from both legends and canon perspective hell even outside all expanded books and comics the original trilogy gave that entire perspective. There are no good people using the dark side, vader turning to the light side in return of the jedi emphasized that he was compelled by love for his son to change sides.
