The weapon once held by Anakin and Luke Skywalker has formally becomeRey ’s lightsaber , but the question of how it actually ended up in her hands is one of the biggest plot holes in the newStar Warsmovies . Now it seems the closed book explaining how Luke ’s lost lightsaber find its way off Cloud City will finally be solved in comics .

Movie fans will never forget the ( puritanic - bladed ) lightsaber wield by Anakin Skywalker during his mean solar day as a Jedi Knight – eventually joiningObi - Wan Kenobi on his Tatooine exile . Years later he would pass the laser steel to Luke , who would famously lose it ( along with his right script ) campaign Darth Vader in the climax ofThe Empire Strikes Back . Tossed down towards the airfoil of the gas colossus Bespin , lover were correct to call for how in the world the sabre came into the self-will of Maz Kanata inStar Wars : The Force Awakens . Maz told Rey that mystery – easilythe newStar Warstrilogy ’s big game hole–   was"a good question for another time . “And now , that time has apparently come .

After 75 issues Marvel is bringing an oddment to their ongoingStar Warscomic series , telling the taradiddle of Luke , Han , Leia , and the Rebels ' action follow the first movie . Now that the comics have filled in that gap and are fast approach the start ofThe Empire Strikes Back , it ’s time for a Modern chapter . Beginning withMarvel ’s newStar Wars # 1this January , the series will take a footmark onwards in the picture timeline to show what happened whenThe Empire Strikes Backended . One of the first missions take up by Luke : take to Cloud City to retrieve what he lose .

After introduce the confusion inThe Force Awakens , and onlymaking the plot trap worse withThe Last Jedi , could this at long last be the miss story fans have wait for ? That sure enough seems to be the case , pronounce by the official plot abstract forStar Wars # 3 , set not long afterEmpire . Take a look :

The conclusion of the war and the final defeat of the REBEL ALLIANCE are inevitable as the cunning IMPERIAL COMMANDER ZAHRA unleashes her fury against the splintered and scattered survivor . But where have the Rebellion ’s expectant heroes gone when their causa needs them the most ? LUKE SKYWALKER ’S only go for at becoming a JEDI KNIGHT was lost during his struggle with DARTH VADER … and so he , PRINCESS LEIA and LANDO CALRISSIAN must return to CLOUD CITY to find it ! But Leia has her own covert mission to accomplish there … and Lando ’s mysterious reason for returning could very well deflower their only probability at success !

Considering thatStar state of war : The Force Awakensalmost opened on Luke ’s frigid handtumbling through place … somehow , this new story seems far more preferable ( and a whole lot simpler , answer the big questions instead of raising even more ) . Will some devotee be let down that the answer to " how Luke ’s lightsaber made it off Cloud City " is that " he went back to get it " ? Almost certainly . But what Luke will have to do to get the saber , along with Leia and Lando ’s own commission , promises mess of machination . And considering Charles Soule has also been intrust with tellingthe privy beginning of Kylo Ren , there is nobody well to close this lingering plot of land hole , link up Luke ’s story toThe Force Awakenswith more than just an terminate cameo .
