00:00Hello there my dear friends, and welcome back to another very exciting Star Wars video.
00:04Today, we have an enormous reveal from the Legacy of Vader Kylo Ren comics.
00:09I've been covering every single issue, and it's been quite the ride.
00:13I'm not usually a fan of the newer Star Wars comics, but this run has been very different.
00:17It follows the events of Kylo Ren in between episodes 8 and 9, after he kills Snoke,
00:22and now he's Supreme Leader of the First Order.
00:25He's a very strange and whiny leader, often exhibiting insecurity, and he's very much a petulant child.
00:31So as the title of the comic run suggests, Kylo has been tracing Darth Vader's footsteps,
00:36trying to emulate his grandfather, and learning about his life.
00:40He saw his redemption as failure, and is trying to become a more evil, powerful Vader.
00:45One who is not tempted back to the light.
00:47But as we know from The Rise of Skywalker, that doesn't last very long.
00:51Ben is already conflicted.
00:52So in the most recent issues, accompanied by Varney, one of Vader's former loyalists,
00:57Kylo goes to Tatooine, and then Naboo, learning all about Anakin, as well as his grandmother Padme.
01:03And check out my previous video on the subject for more information.
01:06But now my friends, Kylo Ren learns about Order 66, and he's told it's one of the most brutal things Vader ever did.
01:13But when Kylo learns there are still survivors out there,
01:15Varney promises the Supreme Leader he's gonna help him track them down.
01:19And in the most recent issue, issue number 6, it finally happens.
01:23And the survivor, who is believed to be one of the last Jedi, has a surprising connection to the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.
01:30Now it must be said, that while the comic labels this person as the last surviving Jedi of Order 66,
01:35she almost definitely isn't.
01:37Because we don't know the fates of Grogu, Balen's skull, even Ahsoka.
01:40And there are comics like Hyperspace Stories which confirm there were other survivors still operating after The Force Awakens.
01:47Two of them even became bounty hunters.
01:49But this is the first one Kylo Ren confronts.
01:51And when you really think about it, it reframes what Kylo Ren says to Luke in The Last Jedi.
01:57It contributes to Kylo's mental chaos.
01:59Because it proves he doesn't really have control of the galaxy.
02:02He has no idea how many Jedi really survived.
02:05And this comic shed some light on this.
02:07The self-appointed Supreme Leader of the First Order thought it was going to be easy.
02:11In his arrogance, he thought he could turn Rey to the dark side.
02:15He genuinely believed his uncle Luke was the last remnant of the Jedi of old.
02:19Every word of what you just said was wrong.
02:23But there were many more Jedi out there.
02:25Many who predated Luke and were remnants of the Republic of old.
02:28Ones who got very lucky to avoid Darth Vader and his Inquisitors.
02:32Ones who survived to see the fall of the Empire and the rise and refall of the New Republic.
02:37And Kylo didn't even kill Luke.
02:39Luke was buying the Resistance time from halfway across the galaxy.
02:43But their exchange still echoed in Kylo's head.
02:46Now that Luke was gone, he was determined to be the new Vader.
02:50He wanted to form a new legacy.
02:52And so, the comic begins.
02:55General Hux, who at this stage has already abandoned the First Order and is a spy for the Resistance,
02:59is still playing along as Kylo's second-in-command.
03:02And he's ensured the Supreme Leader has a new throne, built to specification.
03:06Kylo Ren flaunts it, and as a show of power,
03:09he has First Order officers and Stormtroopers pledge allegiance to him.
03:13Kylo Ren loves the attention, and he says,
03:16I know all of this makes you feel small, Hux.
03:18It's just, not your role to feel large.
03:20Seething, and secretly plotting his demise,
03:24Hux replies,
03:25Of course, Supreme Leader.
03:28Kylo then demands to see him in his chambers,
03:30but after their conversation,
03:31Varney contacts Kylo from the mid-rim.
03:34Yes, Varney, what is it?
03:35I have done as you promised, my prince.
03:38I have found you a Jedi.
03:40On the snowy mid-rim world of L'Artee,
03:43Kylo Ren lands his shuttle.
03:45He meets up with Varney,
03:46and Kylo asks him,
03:47Is there really a Jedi here?
03:49I thought Darth Vader killed them.
03:55Almost, my prince.
03:57But the Jedi are like roach rats.
03:59You may think you killed all of them,
04:01and then another scurries away the moment you turn the light on.
04:04Which is not to say that Lord Vader did not try his best.
04:07From the moment Palpatine's master stroke rang out through the galaxy,
04:10Darth Vader took to his task.
04:13No Jedi was safe.
04:14That remained true for years,
04:16after the initial extermination.
04:18Vader tracked down every rumor of a Jedi in hiding.
04:21He found most of them,
04:22and killed them.
04:24But eventually, my prince,
04:25even the ghosts of rumor stopped,
04:27and Vader's role under Palpatine evolved.
04:30The Jedi were gone,
04:31but the rebellion they inspired still needed strangling.
04:34Kylo is confused.
04:35So if the Jedi are dead,
04:37what are we doing here?
04:38It turns out Varney still had access to the Empire's old reports.
04:41He found the purge file of an Imperial agent,
04:44and tracked down one Jedi to this location.
04:47He sent out First Order spies,
04:49and the rumors were true.
04:50They tracked the Jedi down.
04:52This might have been the same file Grogu was in,
04:54because think back to Mando Season 1.
04:56The mysterious client knew a lot about Grogu,
04:59his age,
05:00his unknown species,
05:01and his midichlorian count.
05:03And Ahsoka Season 1 alluded to Thrawn knowing about them.
05:06He had a file on Anakin and Ahsoka.
05:10Varney then continues,
05:11the name of the Jedi is unknown,
05:13but maybe you will discover it.
05:15I've sent my own agents,
05:17and they've confirmed the details in the report are true.
05:19The Jedi remains alive.
05:21From this point, my prince,
05:23you will travel alone.
05:24Now Varney is secretly scared,
05:26but he has to pretend
05:27he's doing it for the benefit of Kylo.
05:30He plays with Kylo's mind,
05:31and convinces Kylo if he wants to be like Vader,
05:34he has to confront the Jedi one-on-one.
05:36Which of course Kylo agrees to.
05:38He enters a local bar,
05:39and I'm starting to recognize some of these outfits.
05:42Hold on to that thought for just a moment.
05:44It's a pretty standard cantina.
05:46The bartender's having some banter with clients,
05:48telling one of them who's had a bit too much that he should stop,
05:51and then Kylo enters,
05:52and he stands out like a sore thumb.
05:54What will it be, stranger?
05:56Kylo tries to blend in and says,
05:58Wine.
05:59I'll drink wine.
06:00And even with small talk,
06:01Kylo is so darn awkward.
06:03Well, wine it is.
06:04This is pressed from some local stew grapes.
06:07It'll keep you warm for the night,
06:08that's for sure.
06:09Kylo then cuts right to it.
06:11I have a question.
06:12Is there anyone in this town who is unusual?
06:15The bartender then cracks a joke,
06:17other than yourself.
06:18And that's when angsty teenager Kylo comes out,
06:21and he mind tricks him,
06:22demanding he tells him the information about the Jedi.
06:25The bartender doesn't seem to know,
06:27but while the Supreme Leader is distracted,
06:29a mysterious patron uses the force,
06:32to grab his lightsaber from across the room.
06:34It's an old lady,
06:35a felon named Grandia.
06:37She is the survivor of Order 66.
06:40She ignites Kylo's saber,
06:42noticing it's red,
06:43and she says,
06:44It looks like you've got yourself a cracked kyber crystal here.
06:47You ought to get it looked at.
06:49But for now, young man,
06:50let's chat.
06:52Disarmed,
06:53Kylo is gonna have to face this former Jedi alone.
06:56That is where the comic ends,
06:57and the confrontation continues in August.
06:59I have so many questions.
07:01Who is she?
07:02How did she survive unnoticed all these years?
07:05And what's gonna happen to her?
07:06The preview for the next issue says,
07:08that we're going to see Clone Wars flashbacks,
07:10so we're about to see how she survived Order 66.
07:13I have a very strong suspicion she's gonna die,
07:16but I wonder how she'll react if she finds out that Kylo was Vader's grandson.
07:20She would have remembered Anakin,
07:22So, remember how I said there's a connection to the Kenobi show?
07:25Well, I noticed something about this Jedi's outfit,
07:27and the outfits of everyone on this cold planet.
07:30They're all wearing the same kind of coat,
07:32and they all look very similar to one specific Jedi,
07:35from the Jedi tomb on Fortress Inquisitorius.
07:38Do you think this Jedi was also from the same planet,
07:40and maybe this woman is someone he knew?
07:42Very interesting stuff.
07:44But what do you guys think?
07:45Are you excited to see how this goes down?
07:47And what do you make of Kylo facing one of the last survivors of Order 66?
07:51Is Lucasfilm doing too much with the great Jedi purge?
07:54Let me know down below.
