As Luke Skywalker faces losing his yellow lightsaber ahead of Return of the Jedi, he admits how he really feels about the iconic Jedi weapon. 'I can be a Jedi without a lightsaber. I can find another one someday, if I have to.'
Warning: contains spoilers from Star Wars #31!Legendary Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker thought far less of lightsabers than Star Wars fans might think. The lightsaber is undoubtedly the most iconic weapon in the Star Wars universe, originally described by Ben Kenobi as "an elegant weapon from a more civilized age." However, as well-known and respected as the weapon has become for fans of the franchise, the galaxy's greatest hero Luke Skywalker considers them surprisingly expendable.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In Star Wars #31 by Charles Soule and Andrés Genolet, Luke has found himself in a situation where he could end up losing his yellow lightsaber forever. You might assume that his separation from his weapon would be like losing the most important part of himself. However, Luke doesn't feel the same way.
Last Jedi's Controversial Rejection Makes More Sense What's even more fascinating about this reveal is that it explains the controversial choice in The Last Jedi where Luke throws away his old lightsaber after Rey hands it to him. Many fans viewed it as disrespectful to his character to see him toss something so important away - a rejection of his identity as a Jedi. However, it seems he never viewed it as crucial to that role. The lightsaber was ultimately a tool.
While Luke's opinion on lightsabers may come as a shock to fans, it's still an insightful way to further explore his character and better pinpoint how he develops throughout the Star Wars timeline. For years, lightsabers were viewed as the key weapon of a Jedi Knight, acting as symbols of the Order itself.
