In this comic, we get to see Luke Skywalker taking on a new Sith threat after the Battle of Endor inReturn of the Jedi.
Palpatine’s successor, Gallius Rex, is committed to a plan to burn down the empire whichPalpatinewanted in the event of his death.
So it’s not a time of peace for the galaxy as we once thought and Luke must travel to Pillio, a planet where the emperor stored an ancient compass.

It’s here that Skywalker finds himself fighting against Yuan Howzell and Yupe Tashu while chaos ensues for his friends across the galaxy.
It doesn’t stop there, however, as Luke later finds himself face-to-face with an inquisitor.
We’re not sure who this new inquisitor is but they’re not here to mess around and is happy to wield a red lightsaber in front of Luke, almost goading him.
This all happens inBattle of Jakku – Insurgency Rising #3, so there’s plenty more to come as new issues see the light of day.

We all know Luke is going to utilise his power and fight off evil once again, all before he goes into exile ready for Rey to find him years later.
