At this point, the show is either dropping some serious hints that Luthen is a jedi or its straight up trolling us. Because in the recent episodes of 10 and 11, we got what I think to be subtle clues that point towards Luthen’s possible Jedi past.
Now if you haven’t watched my original video on Luthen being a jedi, I highly recommend you check that out before watching this one as there are a ton more clues that I managed to pick out over there. So this video will really just be building on top of what I previously mentioned. So again, if you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend you check it out before watching this video.
Ok so in the last two episodes of 10 and 11, we got plenty more scenes with Luthen going about his rebel business. In episode 10, we got an epic monologue from Luthen, giving rebel spy Jung a bit of a run down on how much Luthen has sacrificed (scene). And in all fairness there are a few keywords in there that do fall in line with some jedi thinking, such as calm, kindness, kinship, inner peace, all of which could be interpreted as a jedi-like mindset. But there was one particular line that stood out to me (scene). The fact that Luthen mentions ghosts in the same sentence as 15 years ago should ring a ton of alarm bells. Because exactly 15 years ago, was the exact same time that order 66 occurred. Coinciding with the attack on the jedi temple. It just seems like too much of a coincidence that someone like Luthen would recall this specific timing to the loss of a loved one or something close to him.
Another interesting moment during this monologue is when Luthen goes on to say (scene). All of which are the sort of qualities the jedi order would have discouraged. These are very much anti-jedi behavior, and something that Luthen willingly admits is bad. Putting him on a path of no return, almost as if he recognises that as a jedi that there would be no chance for redemption after choosing to follow this path. Perhaps hoping that by sacrificing everything that would make him jedi, it would bring about a better future for the galaxy. But granted this particular moment could simply be interpreted as the reflections of an ordinary person, it isn’t exactly concrete evidence but the clues don’t stop there.
Moving on to episode 11, Luthen pays a second visit to Saw Gerrera but before he enters the hideout, he gets frisked by the partisans. And as he is being patted down, one of the partisans pulls out this. Which if I am being honest here looks a hell a lot like a dil- i mean lightsaber hilt. It even has the rough outline and makings of one. The ringed grooves, the slightly bigger pommel and the metal rings in between, have clearly been designed to evoke the sense of a lightsaber hilt. The hilt seems to be mostly made out of wood, which is rather rare for a lightsaber. But its not entirely unheard of, as there was a wookie jedi who used the trees on Kashyyyk to make their lightsaber hilt. Symbolizing a unique piece of them, something which could also be the same with Luthen if this is indeed a lightsaber hilt. And check out the reaction of the partisan who examines it, he clearly has no idea what he is holding at all (scene). Which indicates that whatever this is, is no ordinary object. Now we have actually seen this hilt in action, as it is the hilt used for Luthen’s stick, something which we saw back in episode 3. But look at the way Luthen holds it, and the length of the stick. All of this seem to echo the visual image of a jedi wielding a lightsaber. While the hilt that Luthen is holding clearly isn’t a lightsaber, it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that it was designed to evoke the feeling of one. And of course given Luthen’s position, it doesn’t really make sense for him to walk around with a lightsaber in the event he gets caught. So one possible explanation is that he could decide to decommission his lightsaber, and modify it into a stick. Allowing him to still potentially use it as a weapon without being recognised as a jedi. And check out how the stick retracks (scene), well doesn’t that look familiar.
Another point to mention in episode 11, was the dog fight between Luthen and the imperials. One look and you would have to admit that Luthen is a very skilled fighter pilot, possibly due to his force sensitivity. I mean the guy is piloting the ship and aiming the gun turret at the same time, that is definitely some impressive skill on display. Now I know that a lot of fans have been pointing out that the two lasers he uses do evoke the image of darth maul or twin lightsabers, and I kinda understand where they are coming from. But for me the biggest clue isn’t actually the lasers but the spin trick that Luthen does. (spinning that's a good trick). So maybe this might be the showrunners ways of clueing us in on Luthen’s jedi past without giving too much away...
