Star Wars Fixes Boba Fett's Yoda Lightsaber Plot Hole

This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Crimson Reign #3.

The Star Wars tie-in comics have finally explained the huge plot hole in The Book of Boba Fett surrounding Yoda's lightsaber. Most of Lucasfilm's Disney+ TV shows have met with popular and critical acclaim, but unfortunately reception to The Book of Boba Fett was quite poor. Lucasfilm seemed aware of the problems, however, and by episode 5 the show had basically pivoted to become The Mandalorian season 2.5. The show's focus changes with two episodes in which Boba Fett barely appears; episode 6 even features an unexpected visit to Luke Skywalker's Jedi Temple, where viewers get to see Luke train Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).

Unfortunately, Luke's training methods seem to draw on the lessons of Master Yoda, with the new Jedi Master forcing Grogu to make a choice between the way of the Jedi and the way of the Mandalorians. He does this by presenting Baby Yoda with two items, and asking him to choose between them; beskar armor from Din Djarin and Yoda's old lightsaber, which he retrieved from the swamps of Dagobah. Many fans criticized Luke for this scene, arguing he'd gone back to the prequel era Jedi's inability to understand the difference between attachment and love. More problematic, though, was a major plot hole involving Yoda's lightsaber — because tie-in comics have shown Palpatine retrieving Yoda's lightsaber after his battle with Master Yoda in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, and having it destroyed.
