    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.

      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..

      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.

    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

      Yeah not everything has to be connected to previous characters, using qui gon's saber takes away from Luke becoming his own person.

      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.

    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.

    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.

I think it's actually how George wanted it to be, because in the Clone Wars, the concept of finding colorless crystals and dying them in the course of meditating was introduce. 14:10 I personally like it better, that Luke made his own Lightsaber with his own, personall crystal. I think this fits much better , having his own lightsber that he made completely by himself. This kind of shows that he is a real jedi now at this point.

    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.

      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.

Also this comic never says that Luke has the pieces for his own green lightsaber so it's possible that he went back to Tatooine and found Qui Gon's lightsaber and used his pieces to build his own.

    And i think just through flashbacks of obiwan in the desert waiting for luke to get older as he deals with his grief could've been better than the fucking Reva show we got.

      Repurposing Quigons crystal but not his saber feels like using the past to build his future, and in a way Quigons crystal guiding luke is what Quigon was unable to do in guiding anakin.

    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 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.

    @calebkopp7636 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

Showing that Vader is mostly consumed in the Dark while Luke is mostly consumed in the Light.

    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
