The death of Luke Skywalker

When does everybody think that Luke will eventually perish? Many are predicting that he will meet his ultimate demise at the end of the NJO series, but I don't think so anymore. Someone will make a final sacrifice, but I think that'll be Han and Leia in the Falcon...."I love you," "I know,-The last words of Han and Leia Solo. But anyways, Luke isn't the lone Jedi who has no one to look after anymore. He is married and is about to have his first child, so he can't just go off at the first sign of danger, something we have already seen in the NJO. That being said how wil he die? I think a new Sith will along after the NJO, maybe even his son eventually, and the Sith kills Luke and the twins and Anakin bring him back or kill him. Either way, I don't think the Vong will be the end of Luke, just MHO.

No they cant kill off Luke. They could kill off anyone but Luke. It just isnt gonna happen. But if they did then I guess they would have to bring him back in an Obi-wan Kenobi stylie! And have some young Jedi take his role with the ghost of luke being his mentor. Or something stupid like that!

Luke can't live forever. All I know is that it will be a sad sad day when I read about his death.

Oh trust me, writers these days can be very creative when they want to be. Im sure they could come up with some way to make him live forever. Even if it is some kind of weird punishment for him for something he does in the future. They could make it happen if they really wanted to!

While I do think that Luke will eventually die I always wondered what Yoda meant when Luke told him he couldn't die and Yoda said "Strong am I in the Force, but not that strong...." Does that mean someone strong enough in the Force could live forever?

Well, If Luke has to die, what better way then in saving the galaxy from a dark side force(I agree that it cn't be the Vong). I don't think it would be all that bad if a trilogy comes out in which Luke dies in the first intallment and then his ghost guides Anakin or his son in the next 2.

I wouldn't read so much into Yoda's statement. I just see it has him ridiculing Luke, and not meaning that a jedi could live forever.

I still think Luke can die in the NJO, I've got a nice theory on how a dark jedi can be introduced into the series into the series.

Luke can and will die, because that is the way of things. The way of the force. But Luke is too powerful and too popular to die in any other fashion other than natural causes. I forsee Luke easily living for at least 120+ years, and I doubt any novel or film or any Star wars media will have him be defeated.

i am new to EU and havent read one yet but i am going to. when you talk about luke guiding anakin what do you mean. is anakin back

Actually I believe it's Anakin that guides Luke much the same way as Obi-Wan did after his death.

No Anakin isnt back Han & Leia named their third child Anakin.

Anakin killed Luke -

Because the empire is dead I am sure he will marry Jade and die of old age.The end!JM

A star destroyer lands on him, and he dies.

Who'd a thunk it?

Lets look at it like this......

Luke is the next focal point of the
Star Wars legacy.....
I see him living within the force for
hundreds of years much like Yoda
to guide the New Jedi Order......
Others around him my die off but
he will live.....there may be some
coincidental meeting between Luke
and some other young Jedi that the
faith of the galaxy will fall on.....

Plus, as long as Mark Hamill wants
to be active in whatever GL plans
for SW, Luke will live forever.......

That was cruel... 🙁

I know 😂

do star destroyers even land...? I think they just float around in orbit all day 😖

Hmm...I like the whole deathstar thing and landing on him gets knocked out a window and flying into hyper drive and crashing into a rock but oh well..REVAN WILL KILL YOU ALL!

Wtf, did I just say
