Darth Vader may have died three decades before The Force Awakens, but he lived on thanks to his melted helmet and old lightsaber appearing.
Now a new leak from Star Wars theorist Mike Zeroh, who has a source at Pinewood Studios, reveals more information on how Darth Vader’s belongings will play a part in The Last Jedi.
In his new video, he claimed: “When it comes to Darth Vader, there are going to be other relics of Vader that were created by the art team for Star Wars The Last Jedi.
“The melted helmet was recreated for this film, as well as other pieces of Darth Vader that Kylo Ren will show off in the upcoming film.”

He continued: “Darth Vader becomes a figure of interest to Rey and eventually questions Luke about the name Darth Vader.
“Reportedly this is what starts the conversation between Luke and Rey about Kylo Ren, with Vader as the opener.
“Now when I look at Kylo Ren, we do know that he’s obsessed with his grandfather [Darth Vader].
“How I take it is he’s a collector of his grandfather’s belongings… as we saw in The Force Awakens, he owns Darth Vader’s melted helmet.”

Zeroh added: “He also wants the Skywalker lightsaber as we saw between Kylo Ren and Finn on Starkiller Base he yelled to Finn, ‘That lightsaber, it belongs to me.’
“It belongs to Kylo Ren because that saber belonged to his bloodline, his grandfather Anakin Skywalker.
“So he is a collector and we’re going to see more of these Darth Vader relics popping up.”
Is Kylo Ren collecting Darth Vader relics?
He concluded: “And perhaps this is why Kylo Ren wants to find his uncle Luke Skywalker so bad, because he knows [he] either has a necklace with Darth Vader’s kyber crystal in it [from his lightsaber] or Luke Skywalker owns a ton of Darth Vader replicas that he keeps on Ahch-To for safety and wellbeing.”
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is released in UK cinemas on December 15, 2017.
