I can’t believe we’re finally going to see one of Luke Skywalker’s greatest canon feats

I am very excited about that Star Wars Has in store for Luke SkywalkerIncluding the opportunity to see one of his greatest canon moments in the wake of the original trilogy. Luke’s exploits during the Battle of Jakku have been teased in the past Star Wars Projects. However, fans will finally get to see the full extent of the Jedi Knight’s role during the Empire’s last stand against the Rebellion.

After completing his canonical Star Wars And Darth Vader Series set between Empire strikes back And Return of the JediMarvel Comics is now jumping ahead to the fallout from the Battle of Endor with a new trilogy of stories covering the Battle of Jakku. Jakku was the final conflict between the Empire before its surrender to the New Republic and its subsequent Imperial remnants scattered across the galaxy. However, the battle itself is never definitively revealed in full outside of more unique retellings and POV. how so I’m hopeful that the upcoming trilogy will confirm what was probably one of Luke Skywalker’s coolest moments.

Luke Skywalker seemingly brought down a Star Destroyer in the Battle of Jakku

According to Star Wars myth and legend

Despite being such a significant battle in the Star Wars time line, The Battle of Jakku is only shown from specific anglesSuch as the particular roles played by the New Republic’s Nora Wexley of the Aftermath Trilogy of novels by Chuck Wendig, or the reformed Imperial Special Forces commando turned New Republic agent Iden Versio in Battlefront II History campaign. However, Ken Liu’s The Legends of Luke Skywalker In 2017, the role of Luke Skywalker during Jakku.

A collection of stories, the stories featured in The Legends of Luke Skywalker They are framed as secondary myths rather than completely true accounts, having been told by deckhands on a cargo ship during the New Republic Era. to this end, It was strongly suggested in one story that Luke Skywalker took down one (if not more) of the Imperial Star Destroyers during the Battle of Jakku.The same that Rey would avoid years later in the beginning of The Force Awakens. However, the tale’s status as legend even within the canon means specific details about Luke’s role have remained scarce (until now).

I can’t wait to see the true story finally

What was Luke’s true role during the Rebellion and the Empire’s final battle?

now, Marvel’s upcoming Jakku trilogy is perfectly primed to reveal not only what Luke Skywalker is doing during this key battleBut also what’s going on with the rest of the Rebellion’s biggest heroes: Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. Beginning of October Star Wars: Battle of Jakku – Insurgency RisingIt has already been confirmed that the heroes will be facing a new Imperial faction known as the Defiant Imperials. Luke in particular will also take on the dark side cult known as the Acolytes of the Beyond (who first debuted in the Aftermath trilogy).

As such, I am very hopeful that we will finally see Luke with an Imperial Star Destroyer. That said, perhaps it’s too much to hope that Luke can even take down one with the Force as was seen with Legends’ Starkiller in the old Force Unleashed Games. In any case, the full potential of the upcoming Jakku comics for Luke Skywalker and the Star Wars Canon got me very excited.
