Luke Skywalker's Death

The newest cover of Star Wars: Legacy shows what looks to be the Force Ghost of Luke Skywalker, establishing that while some Jedi in the books and comics live beyond two hundred, the original main character of the series, will not.

Well in the latest books he is about 60, so its not that early. Remember they edited ROTJ so that Vader appears as he was when he was Anakin way back, so maybe he chose that appearence?


i prefer original ROTJ, not the edited one ;)


So do i. The ewok music is far superior, and as Rogue states above it is not fair on the original actor. However that does not change that in terms of star wars what i said is true, it is 'cannon' that force ghosts do not have to appear as they died.

Regardless Luke is 60+ in the Legacy of the force series, and i believe described as having a few grey hairs creeping in, he aint so young no more.

Me aswell, I think they done a big dis-service to the actor, especially becasue he was dead.

Is anyone reading the Legacy comic books? Do they contain any other familiar EU characters?

Well it was obvious he must die when they announced the Legacy series, but its interesting they have confirmed it so soon, perhaps Luke fans are in for a nasty shock in the Legacy Of the Force series of books?

Nice link by the way Jade :)

The real question is how does he die?

While the force is powerful with Luke, what lives must die. It is the way and there is no escaping that simple fact.

good find

Well doesn't the series occur quite sometime after the death of Luke Skywalker or 100 years farther down the EU timeline and focus on his grandson? Not surprising he would be dead really.
