UPDATE: Hasbro Officially Announces Luke (Jedi Master) and Rey (Jedi Training) Black Series 2-Pack!
An upcoming potentially exclusive San Diego Comic Con Black Series 6″ 2-pack of Luke (Jedi Master) and Rey (Jedi Training) has been revealed! We will take a look at the photo below with our brief take on it, check it out!
July 18, 2017
The 2-pack figure set clearly states Luke as Jedi Master and Rey as Jedi Training, so I guess it’s not time for the Jedi to end after all! Here’s the image of the figures:
Much to our disappointment, Luke comes with no accessories, meaning no blaster, and most importantly no lightsaber! Rey on the other hand is loaded. She has Anakin’s blue lightsaber, which recent marketing campaigns now refer to as “Rey’s lightsaber”. She also comes with the blaster Han Solo gave her and her staff, which is still around for some reason…
Luke’s Jedi attire is certainly on the light side (literally), although we know that’s not always foreshadowing in Star Wars as Luke wore all black in Return of the Jedi. It appears he has a pouch of some sort on his belt as well.
Rey’s outfit is a mixture of crossing gray tones with dark and light underneath, again not reading into it tonally but it’s certainly a interesting look. No longer wearing the rags of Jakku, Rey looks ready for her next step into becoming a Jedi!
There is a lot of speculation that this 2-pack will be an exclusive this week at San Diego Comic Con.

UPDATE!

The description is as follows:

Featuring authentic, true-to-story detail, the Star Wars The Black Series Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) and Rey (Jedi Training) figures and accessories let fans and collectors alike imagine the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker challenging Rey’s expectations as he teaches her the ways of the Force.

Are you happy to see that both Rey and Luke are being labeled as Jedi or did you want the Jedi to end?

Do not collect toys so I am by no means an expert the subject but those look pretty bad. I do love Rey’s new blue robes though in the movie. She looks really unique. http://i.imgur.com/KLPYoLM.gif
Mmm they are together, in Crait the salt planet, Rey is not wearing her training clothes but darker ones, Finn seems to wear part of the First Order uniform we saw…
So I wonder this is after Rey training, they reunite, and the scenes in that planet are after half of the movie.
Crait i imagine will be the climatic final battle.
It also could be the core of the movie and it has an ending anywhere else.
I think the climax will happen in Kylo’s lair on Mustafar. They added some extra Vader stuff into Rogue after seeing it could tie in with Last Jedi.
*Luke/Rey training
*Poe/Leia/Holdo resistance conflicts
*Finn/Rose undercover mission
All 3 stories will end up in one same location: Crait. This is a clever parallel to ESB where all the stories ended up in Cloud City. I assume Kylo Ren, Hux and Phasma will either arrive at the planet on the Mega Star Destroyer (where Finn and Rose are) or maybe Kylo will be following Rey and/or Luke there.
So far it’s confirmed that these characters will be on Crait at some point: Rey, Finn, Poe, Leia (BTS reel) and Hux (Lego sets).
In Cloud City there is not any battle, and ESB starts with a battle what we could compare with what we have seen about Crait.
No saber? Sad. This whole new “Luke is depressed” thing is fckd up.
Could be avoiding spoilers. Rey did not have one either in her toy before Awakens comes out.
Why, though? Why should he use, or have, a saber? Why shouldn’t he be “depressed”?
SW is not about flashy saber fights. It’s a character driven narrative: the characters’ emotions and the way they grow through those emotions – that’s what count.
I guess you’re right, if you like soap operas. I just hope he springs into action at the end of the movie
Sounds like you want a video game, not a story about people.
But the damn movie is not even about him 🙂 It’s about the new heroes – legacy characters are just there to pass the torch (and rightfully so, I’d say).
Well, the almighty Kathleen Kennedy has said many times that, indeed, this trilogy is about the Skywalker’s, and since, so far, we know there are only two of those (Luke and Leia) it has to be about him.
Also it would not be a very interesting movie if Luke was on all powerful lightsaber welding badass flawless Jedi. He will have his own demons to overcome.
Well, he was, and Hamill wanted to make that entrance at the end of TFA…
If that is what you like, I prefer my heroes flawed and real. Nothing interesting about someone who has it all.
It may not make for a good story, but it still would have been fun to see the All-Powerful Luke Skywalker.
“Real”? as real as speed of light travel, the force or lightsabers?
Do you really need this explained to you ? Okay sure who am I to judge. Real as in real problems and emotions. No wonder you want a simple story.
Lol, sadness and a torn down hero is not a complex story, if anything that is a simple story. “boohoo, my nephew is a sour apple so I will spiral into dispair”. Au contraire, a complex story and character arc would show Luke picking himself up, dusting off and moving on, and how he achieves that. Showing him defeated is, in my opinion, the easy way. Let’s hope we see his struggle to get back to the top, so you can have the drama you need, and I can have the hero I deserve.
His nephew/padawan turned to the dark side, destroyed everything Luke spent his entire life building, and is complicit in the deaths of billions sentient beings. So Luke should be happy, mildly annoyed, or indifferent?
How about the “never surrender even in the face of the greatest adversity, fighting for what one believes and overcoming challenges for the good of the majority, even if it means the sacrifice of one” attitude? Instead he went into hiding, made everything so he wouldn’t be found (put his droid in sleep mode and sank his Xwing) and just wanting to end everything? Thankfully I’m not a depressed millennial that listens to Lana del Rey and thinks life and future is worthless. I like my heroes to be that, heroes, examples, role models. I just hope he shakes it up.
It would be a little depressing to wait 30 years and not see him as a mature Jedi master. A bit like waiting 30 years and seeing him on screen for about 10 seconds ….
Millennials that listen to Lana del Rey that think life and the future are worthless? Take Luke’s advice and breathe. You’re painting a whole picture based on 30 seconds of screen time and two lines of dialogue in a trailer. I’m sure Luke and Chewy will be splitting a Chick-o-stick and cracking jokes over a campfire soon enough. Gandalf had to die to return as a White Wizard. Jovial Luke will return too.

As I mentioned, I do hope he rises from the ashes that Dinsey has imposed on the character
I know who Lana del Rey is. You’re bringing your hangups to the movie. There would be nothing interesting about Luke being a one note character. He had an arc in the OT and now he’s having another arc. Don’t hyperventilate because you saw sad Luke for a half a minute.
This.
It’s not a second, it’s been said all over, even Hamill has stated he was concerned about the direction of the character (he has changed his posture as of late, though). Fine either way, it’s just 5 months now.
If your not a depressed millinial are you a member of the baby boomers who voted inrepeated repub administrations that have created an ultra inequality gap, multiple wars of choice, and voting the moron have in office which ultimately led to the laughing stock American leadership is today.
May be he is X generation.
Don’t blame me, I’ve worked hard all my life, and don’t even live in the US
Wait and see the movie.
I want it!! It’s about time Jedi master Luke finally got a black series
I start to have the feeling that we won’t see Luke’s green saber. Sincerely, that annoys me a lot.
The first figures of Rey for TFA didn’t have a light saber either. There’s still hope.
True, but in that case it was kind of a spoil- oh… right…
If he does have his green saber, there’s no way we’d be seeing that yet in promo material IMO, so this is neither proof nor disproof.
Luke looks like Gandalf. Now we know what they did with all those old LOTR figures that didn’t sell.
Where the F is that Fing green lightsaber?
Luke wore black in ROTJ because he was starting to lean toward the dark side. His one black glove was also a symbol of that. He was using dark side powers throughout ROTJ including the choking of jabbas guards. During his fight with Vader he almost let his anger get the better of him until he cut off Vaders mechanical hand and realised what he was becoming. His hand is uncovered as it is a reminder of what he could become if he didn’t keep himself in check.
Is there a canonical source for the black attire being dark side leaning?
You would think the Jedi Order would of suspected Anakin for wearing dark attire compared to the other Jedi.
It wasn’t all black though, most of it was brown, dark brown.
I didn’t say it was black “dark attire”
What I “think” is that the Jedi Order didn’t have a color dresscode.
Obviously not…..but out of all the Jedi, we see Anakin wearing dark colours, so much, its as if Lucas is hinting to what is to come.
No canon source as that time really hasn’t been explored yet, but George Lucas has said it was an intentional costume choice during production to portray that idea.
“His hand is uncovered as it is a reminder of what he could become if he didn’t keep himself in check.”
Holy crap. This make so much sense!
Hey hey hey, did you know that Vader means Father in Dutch? pretty cool foreboding symbolism, right?
So…already everyone knows this.
But still, it’s great symbolism and one of my favorite elements of the OT. I always thought Luke’s black fatigues were cool. As a kid, I thought they looked beyond rad. I also thought that was how Jedi were supposed to dress (I wasn’t thinking about symbolism when I was 8). The outfit we see Obi-Wan wearing was just desert attire. Uncle Owen wore something similar. So did the bartender in the Cantina. I was a bit disappointed when the Prequels had the Jedi dressed like that instead of in all-black.
My precioussssssss….
I am not a collector, but I just might make some space for Luke… when he gets his lightsaber in the second or third wave. 😉
Anyone else think it’s cool that Luke’s pretty much been wearing the exact same belt since Empire? Dude’s getting some pretty solid mileage out of that thing. Leather, man, I tells ya. Ages well.
Three observations: (1) Rey is listed as “Jedi training” and Luke is “Jedi Master”. Don’t know how much we can read into that, but it’s something. (2) Luke appears to still have a lightsaber hook on his belt per the usual Black Series design. (3) Speaking of Luke’s belt, anyone else think it’s cool that he’s been wearing the same one since Empire? Dude knows how to take care of his leather. Respect.
Are those soft goods on Luke? They better be as high quality as the soft goods were on the ANH Vader!
The pouch Luke is wearing is a Jedi change-maker. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5c02d9d50a50a6d12193a3fcd15cfe2d4b7969b9829c34b865bb8ce4740872e9.jpg
I honestly have no interest in purchasing a Luke figure without the green lightsaber. If/When they come out with one from the 2nd and 3rd wave (probably not to spoil the movie) It will be an immediate buy for me.
Never understood why people assume TLJ was going to be the end of the Jedi. Lor San Tekka basically spells out that without the Jedi there can be no peace in the galaxy at the start of TFA.
That is in the point of view of a Jedi supporter/Republican. Those are his beliefs. The true balance is yet to be discovered, and I think we are going to find out in the upcoming movie(s).
True – but I’ve always felt Star Wars was more simple than that. Its basically good vs evil, and the Jedi are still somewhat lacking in the peacekeeping department.
You are right! And that is why people will not expect what is going to happen in The Last Jedi (I hope) 🙂
Lor San Tekka is also dead so…
so…..?
So, what about a character that dies five minutes into the movie makes you think their opinion holds any weight? It looks like he might be on the losing side of the issue. Lucasfilm never said action figure packaging is canon but Luke Skywalker did say the Jedi must end.
We shall see. Personally I believe the Jedi will continue, they may evolve, but the title of Jedi will remain, or it will be the biggest blunder of Lucasfilm.
That guy was also a religious zealot. And we all know how sane those types are in our own world and history. And how they always think they are right no matter what. xD
Is he? Doesn’t come across that way in the film, is that in a novel/comic?
He’s a member of the Church of the Force.
Thanks. So a bit like Baze and Chirrut from R1? How extreme is the Church of the Force, full on crazy or more peaceful and spiritual?
Well, as we saw in Rogue One, members of the Church of the Force don’t shy away from using weapons to perform terrorist attacks on civilian and military locations, without a regard for their life, or the life of others.
From my perspective, they are some very bad hombres.
So Saw’s group are also part of the Church of the Force? Making them a different faction to Base and Chirrut, but still part of the Church of the Force??
Religious zealot? Where did you get that?
Not from what I can tell. People are mistaking Saw’s Partisans and Baze and Chirrut as part of the Church of the Force, they are not. He’s not an extremist in the manner you speak of, more a spiritualist.
if luke doesnt ignites his lightsaber and fights im going to be very mad, even worse if he dies
He might die. But he won’t go down without a lightsaber fight.
On the other hand, in the OT Yoda and the Emperor did not have a lightsaber and did not need a lightsaber. Zahn took this idea further and made every true master not have a lightsaber, such as C’baoth (not canon anymore, but just an example of the idea). Maybe Luke is now a master that does not require a lightsaber?
Good point. And honestly…watching Yoda fight with a lightsaber was kinda awful. The Emperor scene wasn’t a whole lot better.
Thank the gods they can let her have her hair down, and she can..(gasp) look prettier. Or did I just commit sexual assault in 2017, simply by saying that?
You really went off track there.
Lol. Yes. Yes sir I did!
Um…okay.
You can chill bro. There aren’t any modern feminists here.
Don’t let it make you bitter in life. A few articles here and there, or a couple of chubby girls who watch Girls does not mean everyone is trying to bring the man down.
Personally I think Daisy/Rey is prettier with her hair up than down
Really digging her new look.
Rey has Anakin’s blue lightsaber…. That old saber really has long lasting batteries
I like that she still has the little blaster Han gave her and I like that Luke went back to white robes.
So does this confirm that it’s *not* actually “time for the Jedi to end” if Rey is officially being trained as one?
