Star Wars: Episode VIII

is still 18 months away and Disney will do everything in its power to keep the plot a secret. It certainly managed to prevent fans from finding out what Star Wars: The Force Awakens was all about, and it’ll probably do the same with the next episode in the saga. However, some Star Wars spoilers have already leaked out, with a fresh report detailing what might be one of the coolest Jedi fights in Star Wars history.

In case you don’t want any spoilers, you’d be wise to stop reading right here.

The same site that has provided Episode VIII spoilers before, Making Star Wars, is back with details about a massive fight. Luke and Rey have to face Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren in what sounds like a spectacular duel.

Luke will prove that the force is still very strong with him by taking on and dispatching the entire squad of Knights while Rey will have to fight Kylo again. Luke uses the same lightsaber from Return of the Jedi and the Force to beat the Knights. Lots of wire work and white flashes effects were used for the scene.

Rey’s mission is apparently to kill Kylo, something she doesn’t want to do. Kylo appears to win this fight against Rey though, with Luke letting him escape.

Here’s the entire scene, as described by an unnamed source who witnessed it:

  • Luke Skywalker and Rey are on Ahch-To just before nightfall as the sun sets in the background, and it starts to rain.
  • Rey’s hair is pulled back. She doesn’t have the vest from VII on.
  • Luke and Rey are wearing the costumes Making Star Wars described before.
  • Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren turn up along the coast.
  • Kylo Ren continues advancing towards the heroes with the Knights of Ren.
  • Kylo does not wear the mask here.
  • Kylo has the same cross guard saber as he did in VII.
  • Kylo’s costume looked the same as in VII.
  • Rey and Kylo Ren duel one-on-one and end up fighting along the cliff face overlooking the nighttime water.
  • Kylo wants his revenge after Rey disgraced him.
  • The Knights of Ren go for Luke Skywalker while Rey is left for Kylo.
  • Luke Skywalker engages the Knights on the beach while Kylo attempts to kill Rey.
  • The first black knight has an axe and moves towards the Luke but is Force pushed away to his death after being thrown through the air.
  • After Luke dispatches the first Knight he ignites his green lightsaber.
  • Luke moves through each Knight one-by-one.
  • Rey and Kylo’s battle moves up to the side of a cliff.
  • Suddenly Rey is nowhere to be seen. She’s taken out of the battle; she’s either wounded or appears to go over the side of the cliff.
  • Luke Skywalker casually walks towards Kylo to finish him, but Kylo retreats when he sees his crew defeated.
  • Luke Skywalker is a badass Jedi, and he’ll destroy your squad.
