40483 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber

40483 Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber is a Star Wars promotional set that was released on November 26, 2021.
==Background==
Luke Skywalker's lightsaber was the first lightsaber constructed by Luke Skywalker and the second one he owned. In 3 ABY, the construction of his Jedi weapon gave the confidence Luke Skywalker needed to progress in his studies as he advanced toward becoming a Jedi Knight. A year later, the young Jedi used the weapon during the desperate rescue of his friends from Jabba the Hutt's hands on Tatooine. Aboard the second Death Star, Luke used his lightsaber during his final confrontation with Darth Vader. When Darth Sidious was inspecting the lightsaber, he claimed that the design was much like his father's. At the climax of his duel with Vader, as he stood with the weapon leveled at his fallen father's throat, Luke refused to give in to Palpatine's goading to slay his father and submit to the dark side of the Force, shutting his lightsaber off and hurling the weapon aside. Luke would later retrieve his lightsaber after being rescued by his redeemed father from the Galactic Emperor's barrage of Force lightning, wearing the weapon at the Rebel Alliance's victory celebrations on Endor.
