Warning! This article contains a preview for Star Wars #20
In an Luke Skywalker before his final showdown with Darth Vader on board the second Death Star, Luke’s most terrifying Jedi teacher is revealed. Little is known about the mysterious figure Luke encounters on his quest to become a Jedi Master, though the circumstances around the initial encounter in the preview for the new issue are unquestionably sinister.
Luke’s supposed new teacher is revealed in the preview for Star Wars #20 by Charles Soule and Marco Castiello with cover art by Carlo Pagulayan. In the preview, Luke is following a holocron message from Master Yoda that he received in the previous issue. Fans learn that Yoda has many things to teach the Jedi-in-training who received his message, and the information Luke follows is partially revealed in the preview. Upon the instructions, Luke goes to a planet that isn’t on the Imperial database of Jedi-related sites, a planet where he encounters his mysteriously terrifying new teacher.
In the exclusive preview released by When Luke Skywalker awakes, he is sitting in a chair alongside a man he has never met, one who demonstrates his mastery of the Force immediately, laying the groundwork for him to be Luke’s new teacher.
After Luke meets the mysterious figure in these shocking and horrifying circumstances under the surface of the Gazian System, he asks where he is. Instead of replying, the man uses the Force to snag Luke’s lightsaber. The man comments on the hilt of the Jedi weapon as well as the weight, making it clear that he haS wielded one before.
Between the example of expert-level Force usage and his familiarity with a lightsaber, this mysterious new figure is prime to become the new teacher of Luke Skywalker. The most terrifying aspect of Luke’s encounter with this Force- is how they meet in such a terrifying fashion in a hellish and claustrophobic area on a strange and horrific planet. Plus, the cryptic nature of the man’s reaction to meeting Luke has sinister undertones that have yet to be revealed. The true nature of Luke Skywalker's new teacher won’t fully unravel until Star Wars #20 goes on sale on January 12.
