A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, one Star Wars character went up against Luke Skywalker and was immediatelꦚy defeated – without being touched.
The ‘Force Kick’ in Return of the Jedi as Luke Skywalker attacked Jabba’s skiff went down in pop culture folklore; an infamous goof that demands replay after replay – and is up there with various other Star Wars mistakes, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jeans Guy and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:whatever Zip-gate was.
Now, a new Star Wars book has not only given that character a name – Sion – but has revealed what really happened on that fateful day.
Return of the Jedi: From a Certain Point of View highlights the end of the o🅺riginal trilogy via the perspective of various overlooked and secondary characters. Among them is Sion, who has a ver♐y, very bad day (H/T after cornering Luke on the skiff.
"He had him. There was no space to parry and no space to swing, andꦰ — and he hadn’t accounted for the kick, not at this🍨 distance," the story reveals.

The implication being, then, that Luke didn’t touch Sion – and actually Force-kicked him into the Sarlacc pit and to his likely death. After all these years, we can now rewatch Return of the𝄹 Jedi safe in the knowledge that, no, that wasn’t a mistake. Instead, it was actually the Jedi pulling out a technique that no one has used before or since. Honest.
