Star Wars: Luke Skywalker Will Wield a Yellow Lightsaber

Videos by ComicBook.com

Star Wars fans know that Luke eventually replaces Anakin Skywalker’s blue-blade lightsaber with a green-bladed lightsaber of his own making, as seen in Return of the Jedi. Star Wars #6 suggests that Luke had another lightsaber in between, though for how long remains unclear.

The yellow blade is rare and significant in Star Wars mythology. Rey wields one at the Skywalker saga’s end in The Rise of Skywalker. Before then, the Jedi Temple Guard, tasked with defending Jedi history, used lightsaber pikes, dual-bladed weapons of that rare hue.

Whether Luke builds this lightsaber for himself or finds it in some Jedi ruins or elsewhere remains to be seen. Star Wars #6 goes on sale in comic book stores and through digital storefronts in September.
