Warning ! This clause contain spoiler for Star Wars # 35Luke Skywalkerhas a reputation inStar Warsfor being the most hefty Jedi there is , yet he has never exhibited one particular Force power thatAhsokahas seemingly mastered . This shortfall is n’t from a lack of sample , either , as Luke Skywalker is desperate to see Ahsoka ’s signature ability .

As shown inStar Wars : Rebels , The Mandalorian , andThe Book of Boba Fett , Ahsoka Tano dual - wields two white-hot - bladed lightsabers , despite the fact that - in the past - there have only ever been green , blue , jaundiced , purple , and red , with the recent addition of orange about to make its canonical debut in theAhsokaseries ( unless one is count Cal Kestis ’ Orange River - bladed lightsaber inJedi : come Order ) . InTales of the Jedi , it ’s revealed how Ahsoka came to own these lightsabers . When a small hamlet she was staying in wasinvaded by one of Darth Vader ’s Inquisitors(presumably the Sixth Brother ) , Ahsoka toss off him in self - defense team and select his double - bladed bolshy lightsaber . Ahsoka then used the swooning side of the Force to mend the bled kyber crystal within these crimson - bladed lightsabers , a purification cognitive process that turned them white . And now , Luke Skywalker is giving it his all to learn what Ahsoka has seemingly mastered .

Luke Skywalker is Trying to Learn How to Purify Red Kyber Like Ahsoka

InStar Wars#35 by Charles Soule and Madibek Musabekov , Luke Skywalker finds himself in the plate of a kyber expert named Dr. Cuata . Luke ’s chickenhearted - bladed lightsaberwas damage in a premature issue , and he was looking for someone who could repair it . His mission run him to Dr. Cuata , and while they were able to repair the lightsaber to an extent , Cuata also enjoin that Luke need to find a replacement soon . To avail Luke along , Cuata gave him an unclaimed kyber crystal , which Luke bonded with to create the dark-green kyber vitreous silica that will eventually power his iconic fleeceable - bladed lightsaber fromReturn of the Jedi . However , before Cuata pass on Luke the unclaimed kyber , he sacrifice him a ruby-red crystal to see if the Jedi - in - training could heal it and then apply it himself . After making a valorous attempt , Luke failed , though he prevent the red kyber crystal in the Bob Hope that he ’ll be able to learn how to make pure it one day .

This military issue gives fan a rich look into the process of distill a kyber watch crystal , as well as the disconsolate truth about what it means to bleed one . When a Sith bleed their kyber crystal , they oversupply it with dark side vitality , causing the watch glass Brobdingnagian pain in the operation , which ensue in it turning reddish , no matter what its original color was . Not only that , but the Sith also seemingly leaves a piece of their essence within the vitreous silica itself . When Luke seek to heal the ruby crystal Dr. Cuata open him , he found himself inside the quartz glass ( in a metaphysical sense ) , talk with a mysterious Sith who was presumably this quartz ’s original owner . This means that to heal kyber , a Jedi - or other lightsider - must confront off against a piece of the Sith who did the original damage to the crystallization and win before the kyber watch crystal can be reclaimed and sanctify blank . This is a Force - conflict Ahsoka on the face of it come through , and one Luke Skywalker is still building up the forte to fight .

At this point , it ’s unclear ifLuke Skywalkerwill ever learn Ahsoka ’s signature Force power and be able-bodied to purify kyber lechatelierite himself , but the one matter that is unmortgaged is he ’s heroic to do so , and is explicitly make on this Force ability thatAhsokahas long - since perfected .
