I keep wondering to myself how Luke Skywalker will die. I thought it was going to happen in LOTF at the hands of Caedus, but alas no. Not that I am ready for him to die off but I like to think of how I would like him to go...

I for one don't want to see him just die of old age and join the force like Yoda did. Neither do I want him to die in some self sacrificing attempt to save a loved one. I dont think either would do him justice.

I for one would like to see him go in a most unusual way, with a display of strength unheard of before. An act so powerful that the force fully consumes him and leaves no trace of a human body, except a mechanical hand.

Sexually transmitted disease.

I want to see if he dies in Crimson Empire III, it would be cool to end both characters in a battle.

The last two titles of the FOTJ series are "Ascension" and "Apocalypse". I think it's pretty obvious.

He ascends to the gods and they start the apocalypse?

Can you really tell anything about book titles? I think it is a little too soon to take Luke out. You dont have any real characters anymore. Ben is a whiney baby, Jaina is either fighting or F*cking.... I mean you have a decent support cast of Jedi Masters like Kyp, Horn, Seba, and Hamner, but I think the current line would die off if you kill Luke now.

Luke does not die.. he lives into the next century and helps cade

lol

i am pretty sure I have made this exact thread before.

However he dies,unless Legacy gets ret-conned, it is completely and totally in vain, since the sith take over again immediately anyway.

I don't think Lucas will have Luke killed off.

Please explain... I'm not familiar with comic time-line so explain how the sith take over, and how we are certain Luke dies in FOTJ

In the comics they take over...easily. And we are not, but a massive threat, book titles (See 'Sacrifice' Mara Jade's Death) and hes a bit old now.

KIA against Sith of the Tribe? Or during the opening shots of the Legacy comics? Alcoholism due to Ben and Vestara getting shitfaced and having a kid together out of wedlock? Maybe that's why Cade's such a brat - he's got "parental neglect" issues.

Cade's not the son of Ben... Heck he may not even be his grandson but his great grandson.

in 50 years?

It's quite a bit more than that. According to Wookieepedia, Outcast starts during 43 ABY and the Sith Imperial War, when Kol Skywalker dies, is 130 ABY... That's 87 years...

Luke finds out Mara was his sister and has a stroke.

Aren't we all brothers and sisters in the Force? Maybe that's why the Jedi from the Old Republic frowned on "relations"

Luke dies when George Lucas says so

Sounds like a bunch of hippies

I say he gets killed along with Liea and Han by The One Sith who they have discovered and the only way to pervent them from telling the GA There is another Sith Order around they kill them.

I doubt Lucas will ever allow any more of his original characters to be killed off in a specific manner.

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.

The 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.

However he dies, it's gonna be total bullsh!t since everything he worked for is undone less than a century later. I don't think they should have done the Legacy comics. The Galactic Alliance should have been stable for at least a thousand years, IMO.

I agree.

I, uh, con-cur.

Luke should go silently into the night. Basing yet another trilogy around him would be taking it too far, the poor guy's been working his guts out for the NJO and the Republic.

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?
