"No fear. Only the Force."

Neat to see Luke visiting the world where Vader faced and killed his first Jedi after being placed in the suit.

The mountain and monastery where Kirak Infil'a lived seemed to emphasize training. This might help explain some of Luke's combative growth.

^ And Kirak appeared to have at least one Holocron as well(which Luke will presumably snag):

So yeah. 👆

On another note, this would also be the perfect time to have Luke locate Jacasta Nu's library/cache. When he located it in the comics(which occurred at a yet unknown point in the timeline), he certainly appeared to be younger... So the age range could fit:

Luke studying Yoda's holocron + a cache of that magnitude would explain his exponential growth by RotJ more than anything else really could at this point. /shrug

Galan are there any accolades to suggest Luke ever surpassed Yoda ?

You don't nead that. You can just scale Prime Luke above Vader.
GM Luke>Vader>Anakin~Yoda.
In the last year Anakin got 3 or 4 quotes suggesting relativity or even superiority to Yoda.

Yeah that dont work for me. We had the whole Luke > Snoke = Palpatine, but that turned out to be bogus.

Was wondering if there was any direct comparisons. Or Luke confirmed to be the most powerful Jedi in all 3 eras.

No direct accolades explicitly stating such, no... Not yet, at least.

But logically speaking, if indeed Luke was equal to Vader as of RotJ(as canon has indicated on more than one occasion), it makes perfect sense for him to have surpassed Yoda at some point afterward, given the incessant relic/knowledge-hoarding he was doing in the decades between RotJ and the ST... But yeah, that's just personal conjecture at this point.

Yeah thought so. Would like a confirmation at some point that he is the most powerful Jedi of the 3 movie eras.

That's said more than once ?

Heh...

Honestly, I was very happy with how Luke got the holocron in this chapter. Reminded me a lot of what Yoda said in Rebels.

"How a Jedi chooses to win, the question is."

Luke fully acknowledged that he could storm the Imperial facility single-handed, cutting his way through any opposition by allowing the Force to flow through him. But that's not the Jedi way.

So he just walked up unarmed and asked for the most important artifact, with a subtle push of the Force. No need for bloodshed or to raise any alarms when he could easily avoid it.

So none of the Imperials notice an X-wing flying about?

Luke was well-aware of what he could do in that situation... But he immediately recognized what he should do. I think it goes back to Yoda's training in ESB: "A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. Never for attack."

To date, Soule has done a fantastic job at fleshing-out Luke's gradual transition into a true Jedi Knight.

Gotta love how normal Stormtrooper grunts had the full access to "most important artifacts".

One would think the Empire had their complicated rank structure for a reason. Apparently not.

Lol. and the fact that no one else at the facility noticed them taking it.

It was a good issue though. Now we just have to wait and see what Luke learns.

Oh no, you won't get me to stop complaining so easily. We were introduced to Stormtrooper Officers/Commanders as early as in ANH.

GALAN'S UNHEALTHY FANTASIES WON'T BE INDULGED!

Maybe they were just the highest ranking goons at that facility? 😛

Then why they had no pauldrons and were on guard duty? 🙁

Luke having a vision of Elzar Mann from The High Republic. I've been enjoying the High Republic novels so far, especially The Fallen Star. Kinda curious where this comic issue is going to go, with Luke meeting Elzar.

Elzar is probably one of the most troubled Jedi in The High Republic. Romantic attachment, struggles with anger, repeated failures that have led to catastrophic events and losses of life. He's definitely going to have some lessons to impart on Luke.
