Publisher's summary[]

THE BROKEN SABER OF SKYWALKER! LUKE SKYWALKER searches for one of the rarest substances in the galaxy…KYBER – the living crystal that powers LIGHTSABERS! Does it hold the answer to the unpredictable thing the Force has become (see HIDDEN EMPIRE #5!)? What long-lost secret is he about to uncover?

Plot summary[]

A FRACTURED ALLIANCE

In a desperate battle with the Killdroids, Luke
and the rebel heroes managed to get the Path
engine back to the ''Longbeam'', but Luke's hand
and lightsaber were crushed by one of the
monstrous droids in the process.

With a little help from Lobot and the Kezarat
Colony, the rebels were able to use the Path
engine to get out of No-Space and offered to
bring members of the colony along with them.

Having made their way out of No-Space, Luke
now faces the reality that he's going to need to
face Darth Vader again in the future, and he's
going to need a new lightsaber….
