Warning: contains a preview of Star Wars #35!As Star Wars reveals the origin of Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber, the saga seems to be setting up a shocking twist that not only gives the weapon a hugely consequential backstory, but also ties it to the redemption of Darth Vader.
A new preview of Star Wars #35 implies that the Kyber crystal from Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber was originally red, and initially used by a Sith warrior. The upcoming comic – from Charles Soule, Madibek Musabekov, Rachelle Rosenberg, and Clayton Cowles – sees Luke working with the elusive Dr. Cuata to forge a new lightsaber, which begins with a request to heal a red Kyber crystal. In a preview of the issue, Luke sets out to heal the crystal, which – if then used to create his new weapon – would take on the symbolic meaning of Luke's later success in healing his father's rage, freeing him from the dark side.
