Maybe it's related to the attack we see in the trailer (that we think is on a Resistance base). Maybe Phasma and co. attack the base and some of the Resistance (Leia?) leave the base and go to Luke since they know where he is now. And Kylo Ren follows/tracks them. Or maybe it has something to do with R2D2. Or maybe the Chewie takes the Falcon from the planet to leave Rey and Luke to train. And someone they're able to find his location that way? Who knows!

But I hope it isn't a big dumb "R2 conveniently wakes up at just the right time" type of plot device.

New popular theory that Kylos blade has Vaders crystal in it but it was broken. And luke has the other part of the crystal

So Vaders saber survived the Death Star explosion and landed on Endor and was found by a stormtrooper and kept as a souvenir and kylo hired a bounty hunter to find it and retrieve it.

This is actually the storyline in that Percect Weapon book but I took it to mean the hunter was sent to find Vaders helmet. Not the saber.

As with all new canon books it dangles carrots and leaves huge open ends and doesn't actually tell you what is what.


If it turns out to be Vaders crystal in kylos saber I'll walk Fucking out.

Way more likely he took a crystal or even a few from the many at Vaders castle on Mustafar.

I'll complain about it for about 18 months online instead.

I can see 13 months. 18 seems a bit long.

I had an idea. Gonna buy an extra thick wooden broom handle and carve it into a lightsaber hilt. Spoke to some of the saber design companies and they said it's not been done to their knowledge and they can supply small metal parts for different sections in almost any metal or colour or finish.

Be waaaaaaaaay cheaper than buying a lightsaber from one of those companies.


And I'll have made my own. Skills complete, That makes me a Jedi.

Lightsaber mythology is a big part of that video clip I posted. The theory revolves around the idea that Luke gave his father's lightsaber to Rey's Mom/Dad at his Jedi Academy. Luke knew that Kylo wasn't worthy of his dad's weapon and instead chose to give it to someone who earned it by merit and not by blood. This sent Kylo into a fury and he burned the academy down and murdered Rey's parents. Kind of explains how Kylo remembers her and why he was so pissed when he saw that Rey had the lightsaber. It ties up a lot of loose ends in the movie.
