I always thought his prime was around the time of the Vong war. What does everyone else think?

FOTJ

So when people ask if "Luke was even in his prime anymore when he fought Caedus", not only was he NOT past his prime, he was still getting better? Certainly in knowledge/skill, but I could swear I remember seeing quotes from Ben's perspective in FOTJ where it said his dad looked old and he had slowed down in the last few years. Drawing on the force so much and fighting a lifetime of wars had taken its toll on him.

Eh. Keep in mind, a more focused Luke has easily subdued Caedus with TK, and made him flip shit with his illusions.

Has Luke started to decline? I do not believe his prime has been established, because he has not started to decline.

His prime was Dark Nest. His resistance to the Raynar and Killik colony force push, dueling with only one arm etc.

He's dead. Don't think you can decline more than that. The best we've ever seen him is FotJ, and thus that's his prime. Anything past that is a Force Ghost.

Caedus didn't try using Force to break free, so doesn't count.

So, is there any info between FOTJ and the comics where he is a ghost that display feats of him becoming more incompetent than he was in FOTJ?

If not, then my previous post stands.

If so, then I apologize and was unaware of the material, and would love to know the source, please.

Or are you saying he dies immediately after FOTJ?

His established prime is FOTJ. The character's prime has yet to be established for all we know. Luke seems to continually improve.

Though this is pure speculation, if the death of Luke Skywalker is ever written, I can only imagine him going out in grand fashion. Although a end similar to Yoda would be fine with me too.

How does that matter to anything? I'm sure Ashoka's prime wasn't Season 5 of TCW, but that's her prime as far as discussion goes.

That's all there is to it; I cannot make it simpler.

The rest was genuinely asking if there was more source material between FOTJ and the comics where he is already a force ghost.

No, which is why we can't discuss it and when someone says, "This is Luke's prime," this is what they're talking about. I really don't get what you don't understand about discussing what we know for certain.

I prefer precision. This is similar to speculating someone reaching their max potential. There is the potential that is established, but sometimes their is a potential that could have been achieved hypothetically.

I see no specification of this in the OP, which is why i said what I did to cover both bases.

If you have a problem with my thoroughness... oh well.

There is nothing chronologically between the Abeloth fight / immediate aftermath, and him popping up as a ghost to advise Cade.






Unless Legends reopens, we've got all the Legends continuity Luke we're going to get.

That is unfortunate. We can hope.

His prime was whenever he felt like it.

I think the better question is when Yoda was in his prime, because that's a bit of a scary thought.

I hear he didn't really die on Dagobah, and camp back rebuilt as a cyborg, stronger than ever.

Yeah. And then he tried to resurrect Sidious.

LOL
