12 Stars Wars Mysteries STILL Not Answered After Rise Of Skywalker
10. How Did Maz Kanata Get Luke's Lightsaber?
Yes, the question has been asked a lot already, but it's for good reason. Because it's one of the biggest head-scratchers in Star Wars history and it feels like the conscious decision NOT to answer it was like a slap in the face.
In the Original Trilogy, we last see Luke's blue lightsaber falling into the abyss below Cloud City, seemingly lost forever. But then, without even a small allusion to how in THREE movies, it turns up again in the possession of Maz Kanata. She even mysteriously refuses to answer how she came to have it, saying it's a "story for another time."
And yet the trilogy has now come to an end and we're no closer to the truth.
It's not the only lightsaber question either. For instance, why would Luke have taken Leia's saber with him to Ahch-To if he intended never to leave and never to be found?
