Star Wars Episode IX Leak Says Rey's New Lightsaber Comes From Anakin Skywalker And Another Popular Jedi


The destruction of the Skywalker lightsaber is certainly one of the most shocking scenes in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. However, it looks like Rey will figure out how to fix the weapon and it could be through the help of Anakin Skywalker and another popular Force user in Star Wars: Episode IX.

There have been several theories on how the lightsaber will still make an appearance in Episode IX, from Luke Skywalker's Force ghost revealing how it can be fixed to Rey magically using the Force to make it new again. However, a new leak suggests that Daisy Ridley's character will be doing the repairs using another Jedi's lightsaber (via Express).

The leak states that an Episode IX scene will feature Rey "inside a cave in a desert world with many relics sitting in the background" and using parts from Ezra Bridger's weapon to restore the Skywalker lightsaber.

"It's said that Rey uses Ezra's power cell, power insulator, crystal chamber, and cycling field energizers in order to reforge the Anakin Skywalker lightsaber into one piece. The next [scene] goes over Rey also inserting the energy modulation circuits from Ezra's saber. It's said this will be a major easter egg that many fans will pick up on," the source claimed.

This isn't the first time that Ezra has been believed to make an appearance in Episode IX. It was previously reported that a scene in the film will introduce an older Ezra fighting alongside Maz Kanata. Although it would be awesome to see the Star Wars Rebels character finally crossover to the live-action movies, it's important to point out that these are still based on speculations. It would be best to take the information with a grain of salt.

Find out how Rey fixes the lightsaber when Star Wars: Episode IX hits theaters on December 20.
