Dark Empire takes place 10 years after the Battle of Yavin, so he should be older.

【Star Wars ™- 1/6th scale Luke Skywalker™ (Dark Empire) Collectible Figure (Artisan Edition) [Hot Toys Exclusive]】

"And now, my young apprentice… Your father is dead. Have you come to join me? Will you take the place that rightfully belongs to you… at my side?" ― Palpatine

In Star Wars™ legends, six years after the Battle of Endor, the fight for freedom rages on. Darth Vader is dead, but a reborn Empire—under a mysterious new leader—strikes back at the struggling Rebel Alliance. Massive World Devastators, more powerful and unstoppable than the Death Star, ravage entire planets, while the ruthless heirs of Jabba the Hutt place a monumental price on the heads of Princess Leia and her husband, Han Solo. Along with Lando, Chewbacca, Artoo, Threepio, and other old allies, Han and Leia struggle to protect the future for their unborn child. But their greatest foe may be their closest friend: Luke Skywalker…

Jedi age differently? I mean look at Obi-wan...

Meticulously crafted sculpt that missed Mark by a mile.

Cool for anyone that’s a fan of the books. Even back then I had my own head canon and didn’t read this because I thought Palpatine returning and Luke turning to the dark side was ridiculous. No surprise I disliked “somehow Palpatine returned” and grumpy Luke that tried killing his nephew.

The artisan looks significantly worse

0 interest in this but cool I guess

“I wear a codpiece. Like my father, before me.”

 

[Asta]

The figure isn't grabbing me.

I've never been a fan of the Dark Empire trilogy because the artwork was so bad.

The story formed part of the (even worse for other reasons) Sequel Trilogy, and since then this has been my 'Dark Empire' era Luke:

I guess Howard’s complaining that “Disney won’t approve” was just BS, huh?

I guess Howard’s complaining that “Disney won’t approve” was just BS, huh?

Somebody posted in the other thread that that was a mistranslation.

“I wear a codpiece. Like my father, before me.”

I'm also bald like my father before me, so I wear a wig...

 

[Brokenhandpuppet]

I certainly want the Eu line to continue, as that's where a majority of my favorite stories are. I didn't care for Dark Empire when I read it, but I am still down for this.

 

[chrisstbh]

So it really was just Anakin they decided to **** is on and not produce a sculpted version for.

 

[The Buffinator]

I'm also bald like my before me, so I wear a wig...

...but I obviously have a different plastic surgeon.

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

I think this looks great! Definitely has me tempted to buy it

 

[DakRen]

Since most dislike the rooted hair version and this is a sorta niche release, getting the Artisan version should be easy right?

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Wow. As someone who grew up with that book cover burned into their memory, this is a very interesting release.
