We already know Rey has a lightsaber in Star Wars: The Last Jedi  – Luke’s – thanks to the bunch of TV spots that show her swinging it with reckless abandon. So why doesn’t she get her own? As it turns out, according to one fan theory, she probably does and we’ve already seen how she gets it. It all comes down to a scene you’ve probably seen a million times, and a Lego set. Intrigued? Then read on, if you don’t mind potential spoilers…

First, the theory. SWNN writer Chad Stevens took to Twitter to suggest that the scenes in the TV spots and trailers where Rey cracks the ground (remember Luke looking shocked?) gives way to the reveal of dun-dun-dun a kyber crystal.

It looks like #Rey cuts that rock in half during triaining. The TV spots show her with her staff on the rock, the saber, then cut. Inisde the rock could be Kyber | via the leaked #Lego set pic.twitter.com/ppkigQSZKt21 November 2017

For the uninitiated, kyber crystals are the vital ingredient when it comes to crafting the galaxy’s coolest weapon. This isn’t just an idle theory either, especially when placed in tandem with dun-dun-dun… this leaked Lego set. (Ok, maybe that’s not as dramatic).

  • After 4 years of no Luke Skywalker, Star Wars fans are plotting ways in which he can return to the franchise

Titled Ahch-To Island Training, you can clearly see – if you’re not distracted by the creepy-ass Lego Porg - Rey working away at a giant boulder to the right of the set. Inside it? Well, that sure looks like a blue kyber crystal to me.

It makes a lot of sense that Rey’s training is working its way towards the next step in becoming a Jedi: getting that sweet, sweet lightsaber. It’s logical, then, that Rey would strike lucky and find a kyber crystal where, perhaps, even Luke didn’t know there was one.

Let’s face it, though: Luke is probably just relieved he doesn’t have to rent out his lightsaber anymore.

For more Star Wars: The Last Jedi content, check out these new images that show *gasp* Kylo and Rey together.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
