Which Expanded Universe Luke would you most like to see?

[Prime Clone]

Allow me to kick this off with a vote for Dark Empire Luke - though I'd like to see them all eventually!

 

[The Josh]

The next EU figure should be Vos!!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

[Prime Clone]

Ooops, just goes to show how out-of-touch I am with the latest EU stuff. Any way a moderator can add that option?

 

[The ill Jedi]

That would be cool!

I voted New Jedi Order.

i agree with you, but i have resisted buying any of them so far. im holding out for a ROTJ luke in PF form.

Did you dig the 12" sculpt?

 

[hairlesswookiee]

no and the same goes for the Leia 12" sculpt. after this round of 12" jedi and sith characters im only gonna get dooku and sidious.... the rest will only be PF for me.

I always liked Splinter of the Minds Eye but I'd have to vote for the Dark Empire Luke. Nice throwback to Vader. I haven't been into EU stuff really do I don't know anything about "Grand Jedi Master" Luke Skywalker....is that a new title given on to him? I find it hard to believe that Luke gained that much Force knowledge and experience in what 50 years? Than Yoda in 900? Either way...

i don't find it hard to believe at all. he IS the son of the chosen one.

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

oh and even though i can vote for one...i'm gonna say TWO in my post.

dark empire luke.

and, NJO luke.

Son of the Chosen one, not the chosen one. He is half "ordinary human". According to Lucas, Luke's role in the saga is to aid in the redemption of Anakin Skywalker. Even though he is sired by the Chosen One of the Force, I still find it hard that he surpasses all the great Jedi Masters of old. Then again, LFL agrees to all the EU books so if he has achieved this "Grand Jedi Master" status then GL must be okay with it. Has anyone conceptualized this version of Luke?

 

[Booyah!]

I voted for Dark Empire Luke, but I would rather see non-movie EU characters get made first.

Darth Bane with his orbalisk armor would be awesome.

 

[Prime Clone]

Maybe just the fact that he's the founder of a whole new order of Jedi entitles him to the "grand master" title.

i don't see how luke being half human will affect him becoming uberpowerful. yes, his role is to bring anakin back to the good side, but still, he has the same blood and midichlorians running through his veins. here's another way of looking at it. your son will be taller and stronger than you. his son will be taller and stronger than him. it's just the way it goes. granted, luke isn't as tall as his dad, but strength? put it this way, he had limited amount of training from both obi wan and yoda. yet he was able to hold his own against vader, and eventually defeat him. he even took an insane amount of sidious' lightning and still managed to get up. basically, my point is, luke, being the son of the chosen one enables him to easily tap into the force. which is why he eventually becomes god like, with powers and abilities that overshadow those of the old republic.

even if that won't convince you, lucas did say something along the lines of luke becoming more powerful than his father. i think it was in one of the commentaries in one of the movies. RoTJ i think?

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

btw, in the end, if you still can't stomach the idea of luke becoming god like, it's cool. it is your opinion afterall, as is mine.

i am a luke fanboy.

And he did pretty much did take care of the sith.Vader/sidious

That line of thinking working in terms of breeding, your son will be taller and stronger than you only if they receive half of their chromosomes from their mother than a naturally tapped to be stronger and taller. If you are 5'8" and your wife is 5'3" you could still have a son who reaches 6'2" but that would be a recessive gene in power because the dominance is height. Force sensitivity would work the same way he is obviously half as force sensitive as his father because from what we know Padme isn't Force Sensitive. The odds are 50/50 that he could have been a "normal" human as well as a Jedi. The training in theory helps build on the "half" theory. Leia and Han's kids had only a 25% chance of being Force Sensitive.

put it this way, he had limited amount of training from both obi wan and yoda. yet he was able to hold his own against vader, and eventually defeat him. he even took an insane amount of sidious' lightning and still managed to get up. basically, my point is, luke, being the son of the chosen one enables him to easily tap into the force. which is why he eventually becomes god like, with powers and abilities that overshadow those of the old republic.

He stood against Vader, a shell of his former self, more machine than man and a being that was already in conflict with himself and his role in the galaxy. Vader wasn't a full blown anything, his body ravaged and his Force abilities weakened obviously. He held his own against what I'd say was a 25% strength of PT Anakin. Vader didn't have Sith Eyes in ROTJ, the anger wasn't dominant, his Sith training obviously wasn't complete...He has the potential that is realized to tap into the Force but it isn't enough to propel him into God-Like status, logically. I just don't think Luke could have defeated Mace Windu or Yoda in his youth....I don't think Luke would have defeated Maul or even Anakin in his youth.

even if that won't convince you, lucas did say something along the lines of luke becoming more powerful than his father. i think it was in one of the commentaries in one of the movies. RoTJ i think?

Lucas was referring to Luke's sheer ability to be able to become one with the Force and not be "wiped out" in his full potential. Anakin never was able to realize all he could have been, Luke had that possibility. Luke didn't kill Sidious. If Vader had not stepped in Luke would have died on DSII, there was no indication that Luke would have stepped or changed anything, he was defeated on the floor ready to die. Vader redeemed himself and killed the Emperor. Vader brought balance to the Force by defeating the Emperor and redeeming himself. He killed the Sith Master and abandoned his Sith ways to step onto the Light Side of the Force before Death. There were no more Sith because of this one act. Luke was a catalyst for this event not the cause.

Like you said though....agree to disagree. I love Luke Skywalker but I don't see him becoming God-Like and surpassing the Old Jedi Masters of the Old Republic, it doesn't make any sense....to me anyway.
