THE FORMER APPRENTICE OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER FINALLY SHOWED HER TRUE POWER, AND IT WAS A CLASSIC SEQUENCE.
There is one scene in Return of the Jedi that will forever live in Star Wars lore. It happened on Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge, right before Luke, Han, and Chewie were about to be tossed into a giant man-eating sinkhole in the middle of a desert. Things seemed hopeless as Artoo rolled out to see what was going on. Han looked around in bewilderment while Luke and Lando exchanged furtive glances.
Then an omen came in the form of a little salute Luke gave in Artoo’s direction. One of the compartments in the droid’s dome head suddenly slid open and something popped out. Luke jumped, pirouetted in mid-air, and grabbed onto the plank just as Artoo launched the object into the sky.
It hung in the air just long enough for Luke to somersault back onto the deck, catch it, and then unsheathe what turned out to be an emerald-bladed lightsaber. That’s when the former farm boy went on an unstoppable rampage, whipping his wrists around and sending each one of Jabba’s minions tumbling into the abyss.
In less than five minutes, Jabba, Boba Fett, and Salacious Crumb (just heartbreaking) were all dead in a bloodbath that left Tatooine a safer place and once again added the name Skywalker to the planet’s greatest folk tales. The kid that blew up the Death Star was now the kid that single-handedly knocked off one of the galaxy’s biggest crime overlords.
