Where does Luke get a kyber crystal?
- Thread starter Septimus Prime
- Start date
There's all sorts of hidden temples bullshit in Star Wars. He probably found one and got the crystal there.
60 if you buy Fallen Order, all the parts from Galaxy's edge are available in-game.
Knowing Disney, we'll probably all find out about it soon in Kyber: A Star Wars Story.
Hey....did Harry Potter steal that crystal/wand chooses you concept from Star Wars or is that a fantasy trope?
I would honestly like this as the best canon explanation.
I suppose he could've, but the easier answer is probably just that Luke went and got a new one. There are kyber crystals on all sorts of planets, they're just rare and hard to find. Luke had enough time between Empire and Jedi to track one down.
Probably found in Obi-Wan's hut.
There was a deleted scene where Luke constructed it on Tatooine. Yes, deleted, but the idea still holds up.
The hilt is extremely similar to Obi-Wan's final lightsaber. It's easy to imagine Luke's was all from Obi-Wan's spare parts. Just compare them:
You can look up prop replicas and toys and all sorts of shit to further compare, I opted for these screens in the end.
man, Luke's RotJ saber has always been one of my favorites
I feel like this is one of the few occasions it's acceptable to call a Stormtrooper "daddy."He will probably defeat Sgt. Kreel in the post-ESB comics and take his saber's crystal.
I don't really care to know the prequel story of every single element in a fiction, but I had never seen this...
...and dang it's cool to see how they made such a good editing choice by removing that sequence. Nothing gets accomplished here, and it would have totally killed Luke's much more mysterious reveal later on. Even seeing the Falcon hints that Lando is already there. Weirdly satisfying to me to see how cutting those bits served the film so much.

It also doesn't help that Vader telepathically reaching out to Luke feels really dorky, but that might just come down to JEJ's line read there.
The last time I was there I saw a family of seven and each of them, mom and dad + their five kids, all had a droid, a lightsaber, and one of the plush figures from the pet shop.
Yeah, that too. Especially the way Luke barely reacts, which gives off this "Jesus, not this guy again" vibe. He's like a mom ignoring a five-year-old kid the first 20 times the kid says "mooooooooom" for no reason.
If you listen very, very closely, you can just barely make out Luke whispering "unsubscribe".
How is the quality of those things compared to the premium Black Series Force FX sabres?
All the Star Wars threads are collapsing into one, we are doomed!!!
I mean, it's intentional in the sense that Luke's lightsabers in ROTJ are literally old Obi-Wan stunts from ANH. They were made to be sturdy (and hold a motorized rotating rod) and look like Obi-Wan's ligthsaber from a distance. Obi-Wan is actually using one of the stunt sabers in that comparison picture. No one knows for sure why it was done this way, but they apparently showed up to production with Luke's old lightsaber before they swapped, so the current theory is that someone missed that Luke lost his Lightsaber and needed a new one, and the best they had on hand were old Obi-Wan stunt sabers.

Well that certainly tracks with Lucas forgetting to shoot Obi-Wan picking up Anakin's saber in Episode 3 and having to do it as a reshoot insert shot and CG it into the wide shots. For a series so focused on magic laser swords they sure do get forgotten by the production team a lot.
The crystals a big plot item in Rogue One. They call them by name and
the empire is explicitly active in collecting mass quantities of it for the death star. The main character even wears one as a charm on a necklace.

This is low-key the worst part of Star Wars lore, apparently every little detail need a background story and despite taking place across a galaxy it always involves the same 10 people.
I'm sure we'll find out in a spinoff that it's baby Yoda's fossilised shit or something from an old diaper.

Not to mention was searching for them in Rogue One.Yeah, I'll still use this even if it's not "official" any more.
At the end of TLJ, you can clearly see a crystal inside Luke's (Rey's) lightsaber after it's split in two. They didn't call it by name, but there's definitely a crystal in there.
