So how are they going to explain when han is 250 years old in a novel? They are almost over the hill now, so if they plan to keep writing EU stuff they are going to have to fill in the gaps somehow... You cant just stop a story arch without having a valid ending to it, in this case Luke, Han, and Leia will eventually have to die.
From here out i wouldnt mind once every 5 years killing off an origianal character, starting with either Lando or Leia, then Han, and ultimately Luke. So realisiticly we could still read about luke for another 20 year in real life, and about another 60 yrs in EU time.
However if that is the case Luke wuld have to go in a peaceful manner, surrendering himself to the force, having him go out in a blaze of glory without anyone left from the originals to morn him would be aweful.
Originally posted by CaedusRulesThe Legacy comics have already confirmed Luke's death, but it was never shown or detailed. The same is likely going to be for Leia, Han, and Lando. Old age is going to be the accepted end, but there's little chance Lucas will allow it to be written. This is the guy who ordered Anakin Solo killed off because he didn't want people to get him confused with "his" Anakin.

I think they will die since thier time is done and it is time to pass the torch down to the next generation of heros like Jaina, Jag and Boba Fett's grand daughter or maybe a bunch of heros all together. Lucas will change his mind. He always does. If they dont die by the end of the Fate Of The Jedi series then Lucas is maybe planning on making the awaited Sequel Trilogy aka Episodes 7,8 and 9. I did however hear a rumor that Lucas is in the works for another Star Wars Trilogy. If you wanna know more then PM me.
he should vanish into the unknown regions after discovering the force-essence transfer technique. Then we can pretend all the other characters forever are him.
Or maybe SW just introduced the technique in DOE SO that luke can discover it. Maybe Luke IS CADE!?!?!?!?!? never thought of that , now did ya?
