Luke Skywalker Unlocks A Terrifying New Power in Star Wars' New Return of The Jedi Sequel
The Star Wars story is officially continuing after Return of the Jedi, teasing the dangerous new superpower Luke discovers in this new canon series.
The son of Anakin Skywalker and Pé Amidala, Luke was brought up on the desert planet Tatooine. Initially mentored by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke fired the fateful shot that destroyed the Death Star, and he became a rebel hero. Despite the fears of Obi-Wan and Yoda, Luke's faith in his father was proved well-founded when Vader returned to the light. With the Emperor defeated, Luke dedicated himself to bringing back the Jedi; his first attempt ended in tragedy due to Palpatine's manipulations, but Luke's legacy lives on in Rey.
