WTF Happened to LUKE SKYWALKER's Hand After DARTH VADER Chopped It Off? -As I've come to expect with Greg Pak's Darth Vader series, issue #11 of Darth Vader was another solid installment in one of my favorite current Star Wars comics. Picking up where Darth Vader #10 left off, Darth Vader #11 has Star Wars fans returning to the Sith world of Exegol where Darth Vader and Darth Sidious face off against one another in a duel or force abilities and will. To quickly recap, after securing the Sith Wayfinder from the Eye of Webbish Bog earlier in the series, Darth Vader and Ochi of Bestoon traveled to Exegol, the ancient planet of the Sith, and, en route, came across a gigantic space creature, tamed and controlled it, and rode it in to the Sith Citadel on Exegol. Once there, Sidious/Palpatine subdued his Sith apprentice, and Vader and Ochi of Bestoon witnessed Sidious' machinations on Exegol. Once inside the Sith Citadel, Vader witnesses Sidious' construction of his planet destroying fleet of Star Destroyers-the same Star Destroyers we saw used by the Final Order in The Rise of Skywalker-and Darth Vader also witnessed Sidious' cloning experiments taking place on Exegol. With confirmation of Sidious' cloning efforts on the Sith world of Exegol, it appears as if the Sith Lord had been working on creating clones that would eventually become Supreme Leader Snoke from the Sequel trilogy, and it appears he begun that work before the events of Return of the Jedi-but most likely even before then. With the knowledge that Sidious/Palpatine had begun working on his planet destroying fleet of Star Destroyers possibly before the events of The Empire Strikes Back, as well as his cloning experiments, we now know that Sidious/Palpatine was up to some shady doing for a very long time. Additionally, the issue also saw Darth Vader stumble upon a severed hand in a jar, a hand that very well could be that of Luke Skywalker. In Legends continuity, Luke Skywalker's severed hand was found on Cloud City by Darth Vader, returned to Darth Sidious, and then used to create a clone of Luke. Although Greg Pak's Darth Vader #11 doesn't outright state that the severed hand is Luke's, it's not too far fetched to surmise that it is indeed the hand of Luke Skywalker. Furthermore, it's implied in the comic that the severed hand was used in the creation of the clones we see in the issue, which bear a striking resemblance to that of Supreme Leader Snoke from the Sequel Trilogy films-The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. Since The Rise of Skywalker informed us that Sidious/Palpatine had created clones of Snoke, it stands to reason that force-sensitive tissue or blood would be needed to create a force-sensitive being. This implication would have quite the impact on the current Star Wars canon. If Sidious/Palpatine needed force-sensitive tissue or blood to create a force-sensitive being, this would also connect to The Mandalorian. Season 2 of The Mandalorian revealed
Moff Gideon and the Imperial Remnant in the Outer Rim was taking blood from Grogu-since it had a high Midi-chlorian count-and we also saw some weird clones that were kept in an Imperial Outpost on Nevarro. This could be setting up the possibility that Moff Gideon had been working on creating clones of either Snoke or Darth Sidious. Could this also relate to what we've seen in Star Wars: The Bad Batch? Did the Kaminoans have anything to do with creating force-sensitive clones? Is Omega force-sensitive clone? Aside from seeing the interactions between Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, Darth Vader #11 also revealed that Sidious/Palpatine used Kyber Crystals-the rare, Force-attuned crystals that grew in nature and were found on scattered planets across the galaxy. for his planet destroying fleet of Star Destroyers, and essentially bled a mountain of Kyber to harness its power.

EXEGOL UNLEASHED! As punishment for his rebellion, DARTH VADER was broken by THE EMPEROR, his limbs shattered, forbidden to use THE FORCE. But after surviving OCHI OF BESTOON, THE EYE OF WEBBISH BOGG and the horrors of THE RED NEBULA, Vader stands on the verge of uncovering the Emperor’s greatest secrets. But will the revelations on EXEGOL empower Vader — or his master? And what new doom awaits LUKE SKYWALKER as a result?
