YouTuber concisely captures the life of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber, so far

Fair warning to any Star Wars fans reading this who haven’t seen The Force Awakens, this story will tread into spoiler territory so consider yourself warned.

Now we all know that Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber, the original blue version, was handed to him by Obi Wan who lifted it off of Anakin Skywalker as he “died” in Episode 3. But the story of the light sword is actually incredibly detailed.

So detailed in fact, that you could call Luke’s lightsaber a character. And while it may disappear in the Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader cuts off Luke’s hand, that is not the end of the journey.

Fans of the Star Wars story, aside from the big Hollywood releases, will know that the lightsaber took a long journey around the galaxy far, far away before landing in the hands of Maz Kanata in The Force Awakens.

Knowing all of this, the fact that YouTuber by the name of Chris Sherwood, has crammed as much of that cinematic journey into a short two minute video that is as captivating as it is stirring, is quite a feat. Take a look at it below.


The questions raised as to the source of high-definition footage of The Force Awakens aside, the video captures the journey the lightsaber makes from person to person and how it has served good and evil, really well.

What awaits the lightsaber next, we can only guess, but perhaps knowing the history of the weapon explains why Luke looks so shocked when Rey hands it to him at the end of The Force Awakens.

The only question that remains, is where Maz got the lightsaber from, but that’s a story for another time.
