...About f*cking time Luke did something.

Oh they mentioned the high republic era

Luke stomped quite hard with the force, I guess Kylo’s performance in RoS wasn’t all that impressive

Soule is one of the writers heading up Project Luminous, so it's a cool easter egg.

Also worth noting that the High Republic-era vault that Luke discovered in this issue was =/> Jocasta Nu's cache... Which means Luke had access to an even more ridiculous wealth of knowledge than had already been established.

To say that he should have been one of the most knowledgeable force-users in the mythos is an understatement...

I feel like it would be better if we got more to the KoR before this stomp though. I mean it's great seeing Luke do stuff, but honesty I feel like this is just the equivalent of stomping a bunch of 3rd rate thugs.

....Still nice stomp tho.

Yep. Not only is it mentioned but Lor San Tekka’s description of the era matches perfectly with the leaks. Seems like they are accurate.

What a coincidence lol

Knights of Ren : “We are legendary”
Me: “Who the heck are you? No one knows you”
That was as my reaction 😛

Looks like I was correct. Snoke was the one who annihilated the temple with lightning. 🙂

Where is that stated? Looks like you are jumping to conclusions again...

Who else could it be? This issue made it clear that the KoR are jobbers.

Grandpa Sheev.

Nice seeing that calling down lighting seems to be a high tier thing in this Canon..

Never said it was stated, but issue 2 confirms the voice in Kylo”s head is Snoke, not Sheev masquerading as Snoke, and I think it”s implied pretty heavily that said voice is responsible for the lightning blast that leveled Luke”s temple.

Well, more like the issue made it clear that Master Luke is a powerhouse. Not a knock on the KOR at all to get trounced by him.

Nah. I haven't read the issue, but if that's the case Snoke is lying. Sidious and Snoke are working together to corrupt Kylo. Sidious is ultimately the one speaking to him through telepathy (using multiple voices) as revealed in TROS.

So "Snoke" isn't even his real name. It's an inherited / adopted name like "Kylo Ren".

Curious...

Because the implication here is that Snoke [and -only- Snoke] has been telepathically communicating with Kylo for years, and has clearly built a close relationship with Kylo based on that.

High Republic was mentioned in the Dooku: Jedi Lost book.

So yeah, the dots are connecting. 👆

The issues heavily suggest Snoke, though.
