Star Wars recently published the latest issue of its Legacy of Vader comic book series, set between the events of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. The issue sees Kylo Ren wield a completely different lightsaber from his signature crossguard lightsaber. In the issue, Ren, who traveled to Mustafar to learn more about his grandfather, Darth Vader\u2019s life, and his use of the dark side, fights against Vane\u00e9, the caretaker of the latter\u2019s castle, Fortress Vader.<\/p>\n
Kylo Ren\u2019s never-before-seen lightsaber gets first look<\/p>\n
Star Wars: Legacy of Vader Issue #11 opens with Kylo Ren<\/a> resting in a bacta tank as Vane\u00e9, eager for Darth Vader<\/a> to be reborn through the former, tells him that he must die. The latter stresses that Anakin Skywalker also had to die and that death is an important part of the journey for the Skywalker family.<\/p>\n Van\u00e9e encases Ren in Vader\u2019s armor and tries to submerge him in lava, hoping to recreate Darth Vader\u2019s birth. However, Ren breaks out and escapes. While escaping, he hears Van\u00e9e gloating about his wisdom, his role as Vader\u2019s aide, and Vader\u2019s legacy. However, Ren ignores him, even as Van\u00e9e reminds him that he followed in Vader\u2019s footsteps so that he would one day take his place.<\/p>\n Kylo Ren eventually comes across a group of Darktroopers and fights them unarmed until he spots a collection of Jedi lightsabers. He picks up one of them, a gold-hilted lightsaber that emits a green blade, and wards them off. The blade doesn\u2019t stay green for long as Ren bleeds it red using the dark side of the Force. Further, the energy emitted by the blade becomes unstable, likely as a result of Ren\u2019s strength and immense power within the Force and his status as a Force dyad with Rey.<\/p>\n Ren defeats the remaining Darktroopers using the lightsaber and confronts Van\u00e9e, who accepts defeat and asks the former to kill him. Before killing Van\u00e9e, Ren asks him if Vader\u2019s Vault is real and contains his power, only for Van\u00e9e to say that he does not know since Vader didn\u2019t allow him in there.<\/p>\n As he crushes Van\u00e9e to death, Ren tells him that he is already everything he needs to be. Van\u00e9e responds by expressing his delight that Ren has honored Vader\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Star Wars recently published the latest issue of its Legacy of Vader comic book series, set between the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,949,120326,2839,2591,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-298820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-entertainment-news","10":"tag-kylo-ren","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-star-wars","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
