Talk:Luke Skywalker/Legends


 * Most curious, that information is what the now-banned user 69.219.149.128 claimed. Demented Smiloid 22:33, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

It is odd that the last section suddenly makes reference to the book. The biography should either be kept "in character" with no internal references to sources, or be fully annotated. Additionally, the last few sentences are in need of some filling. --SparqMan 04:51, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Go for it. :-) -- Aidje 14:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Chosen One
In Chosen One article, the possibility that Luke is the REAL Chosen One, and not Anakin, is equally explored and nobody has objected all those days the article is around. But when I added this possibility in the first paragraph, it was reverted without explanation. Why? Moff Rebus 09:13, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Beacuse that is just an assumption, which has no place here. --Imp 09:14, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Especially since GL specifically stated that Luke *isn't* the Chosen One. QuentinGeorge 09:50, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Inbetween DE and NJO
I know there is a lot of material to cover with Luke (as he's a major character in almost every novel), but the article current glosses over almost everything that happens between Dark Empire and the New Jedi Order books. --SparqMan 04:31, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Gramatical errors and tense changes are rampant.

Currently, this article only covers the events that transpire in Dark Empire 1, and fails to make any mention of DE2 or Empire's End.

Appearances
This article is really starting to take shape. The "Appearances" section is massive. Would an "List of Luke Skywalker appearances" article be suitable with a note that he appears frequently in EU comics and books? --SparqMan 18:21, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * Most certainly. In fact, such a page should exist for all major movie characters. A new category, Appearances lists, would hgave to be made as well. Oh, and I'm about to add the comics appearances from the Marvel Star Wars series. --Imp 18:27, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. We're going to get this problem particularly with the "Big Three" of each era - (ie Luke, Leia, Han for all ABY stories, and Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme for all BBY stories). QuentinGeorge 05:52, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Images
I find it laughable that we only have two images for one of the most important people to this wiki. I request that people please upload more to this article. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:15, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I would do it if I had any idea as to where to find good vidcaps of the films. MarcK 10:02, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Storyline
I'm making fixes to the plot summary-like segments on some of Luke's history, and it makes me wonder if we should really be retelling the entirety of ANH. I don't want to skimp, but it can make the article overly verbose and unwieldy. Thoughts? --SparqMan 17:55, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC) --Imp 18:02, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * We don't want that. Only key points should be included:
 * Meets Obi-Wan Kenobi
 * Meets Han Solo and Chewbacca
 * Joins the Alliance to restore the Republic
 * Destroys the first Death Star

Looking at the history, much of the text that must be replaced came from the first Wikipedia copy. I wouldn't mind seeing much of it replaced. --SparqMan
 * We don't need to tell every minute detail of the films in these character articles. I've thought that for a long time, but I haven't wanted to be the one who suggested the massive cropping necessary. – Aidje talk 20:21, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Homeworld
While Tatooine as not Skywalker's place of birth, I am certain that he would denote it as his homeworld. I think including both pieces of information in the character box is appropriate. --SparqMan 02:23, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Improvement Drive
Please list any work you see as necessary on this article to bring it up to Featured standards:

Additions Changes
 * Important biographical data between Thrawn trilogy and NJO
 * A section on the way Luke has changed since ANH, and his changing views on the Force and the Jedi
 * Correct all tense issues
 * Remove wonky plot descriptions
 * More images of Luke from the movies would make the beginning a little less dry. QuentinGeorge 07:36, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)


 * Um, could you define 'wonky'? I can't figure out what that's supposed to mean. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:46, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Awkward. Verbose. Wrong in some place. --SparqMan 15:06, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, understood. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:30, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Just a minor point, but it says: "In this way, Skywalker and the Jedi grew in strength and power, their skills nearly on par with those of the old Order." Is this fact? I thought Luke's Jedi were equally, if not more powerful than Old Jedi Order ones.

Shouldn't we have something about his role in the Dark Nest crisis?

What lightsaber style does he use....

The infant portraying Luke in Ep. III
Changed the sentence about actors who have portrayed Luke Skywalker. The source for this information is the following PDF file from StarWars.com: http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/publishing/img/thefinalchapter.pdf

Luke Skywalker was portrayed by Mark Hamill in the Original trilogy, as well as by Aiden Barton (editor Roger Barton's son) as an infant in Revenge of the Sith

Section Headings

 * I think the headings for Lukes page need to be changed. It has 'establishing a New Jedi Order 25+ ABY', and then goes straight into describing setting up the yavin 4 Praxeum in the JAT. It should really be broken up when his page gets a makeover. Durnar 13:38, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Age
Luke is really 18 in Episode IV, A New Hope, even that Revenge of the Sith is 19 bby, the story of Episode III could had been one year long.
 * This is being debated at Talk: Leia Organa Solo. -LtNOWIS 20:38, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

General Skywalker's final mission
Could someone add an explanation of what Luke's final mission as a Rebel Alliance/New Republic general was? The picture beside the The New Republic era heading is kind of confusing since the mission isn't mentioned in the article... or at least I didn't see it being mentioned :) --Tinwe 17:23, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Swarm War Update
I tried my best to make a good addittion, but it is quite length. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks Darthcraigious 01:02, 27 Dec 2005 (UTC)
