"Nice work, Rogue Squadron. We might make a name for ourselves, after all."

- Luke Skywalker, following the Imperial ambush of Mos Eisley

"Did Skywalker make that shot?" "That was me." "Hey, I thought I was the best!"

- Crix Madine, Luke Skywalker, and Wedge Antilles, following Skywalker's precision shot to destroy the shield generator on the Jade Moon

"Let's head home. I need to paint some TIE Fighters on my fuselage."

"Nice job, Skywalker. I beginning to see why they say you're the best."

Shortly following the Rebels' evacuation of Yavin Base circa .5 ABY, Skywalker, in command of the newly formed Rogue Squadron attached to a roving Alliance capital ship command base, led a series of missions against the Empire. During a leisurely early morning run through Tatooine's Beggars Canyon in their X-wings, Skywalker, Antilles, and another Rogue unexpectedly encountered an Imperial ambush of Mos Eisley. They were able to drive away a pacification force of TIE bombers and Viper probe droids.

Rogue Squadron's duties soon turned to a campaign of search-and-rescue and escort missions for Alliance forces under the command of General Carlist Rieekan. Skywalker helped to escort a supply convoy of much needed war matériel from resistance forces through Imperial territory on the humid world of Barkesh. They later assisted in a race-against-time recovery against TIE interceptors and bombers of a downed Rebel ship, the Nonnah, that had been carrying a number of Rebel soldiers and stolen Imperial equipment and had crash landed on the fog-shrouded world of Chorax. Flying RZ-1 A-wing interceptors, the Rogues helped protect a Lambda-class shuttle that worked to extract the crew from the crash site.

When Imperial officer Crix Madine expressed to the Rebellion his desire to defect in 1 ABY, Skywalker led the squadron in T-47 airspeeders into Coronet City, the capital city of Corellia, where Rieekan was engaged in a meeting with city leaders in the Coronet Capital Tower concerning Madine's defection. The Rogues helped fend off a concentrated attack on the capital tower by TIE bombers and, with the timely intervening help of Solo and Chewbacca in the Millennium Falcon, were able to oversee Madine's safe transition into Alliance hands and help evacuate the citizens trapped in the tower just before its destruction. During the battle, Skywalker utilized for the first time an ingenious new tactic to defeat All Terrain Armored Transports. Using his speeder's harpoon and tow cable, he and his rear gunner tangled up the legs of two AT-ATs, tripping them to the ground and effectively rendering them inoperable.

Skywalker and the Rogues, in conjunction with a flight of Gold Squadron Y-wings led by Madine, responded to a distress signal sent to the Rebellion from the planet Gerrard V, where the local Imperial governor was looting the city following a previous failed anti-Imperial revolt by the planet's inhabitants. The Alliance force was met by the elite 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron under the command of Lieutenant Kasan Moor. Engaging the 128th in a dogfight above Gerrard V's urban centers, the Rogues were able to help the planet gain its independence. Madine used his Y-wing's ion cannons to disable Moor's interceptor during the skirmish. Captured by the Rebellion, she too decided to defect from Imperial forces and joined Rogue Squadron under Skywalker's command.

Moor provided the location of an Imperial supply depot on the Jade Moon, a weapons repository for local Imperial bases within the Carosus system. Although Antilles expressed his skepticism of Moor's trustworthiness to Skywalker, the latter was willing to allow her the opportunity to prove herself. Skywalker and the Rogues flew air cover for a commando team led by Madine, that was to infiltrate and raid the moon's supply inventory. During the raid, the Imperial forces raised a shield around the base, preventing Madine and his forces access. Skywalker, however, destroyed the base's nearby shield generator that was located at the end of a winding canyon with a salvo of proton torpedoes, reminiscent of his actions that destroyed the first Death Star only a year prior. The shot was executed at a near-impossible angle and under the fire of a series of missile launchers, earning the impression of Madine. At the conclusion of the battle, Skywalker expressed to Moor his pride that she was now fighting for her own ideals.

Further intelligence from Moor led the squadron on a hit-and-run mission to the Imperial factory world of Balmorra, where Skywalker was instrumental in the destruction of AT-AT and AT-ST manufacturing facilities, again in the cockpit of a T-47; a raid on the planet Kile II in Y-wings, which saw Skywalker help to raze the local Imperial Enclave, crippling Imperial Navy operations in that sector. During the battle, however, Antilles' Y-wing was ambushed and shot down by TIE Interceptors, leading to his capture. This inevitably led the Rogues to the Imperial prison world of Kessel, where Antilles had been shipped. Flying an X-wing specially equipped with an ion cannon, Skywalker assisted in the disabling of a ray shielded armored hovertrain to rescue Antilles before it could deliver him to the central prison facility. Immediately thereafter, Skywalker once more flew cover for Madine's commandos as they infiltrated the extensive prison complex to rescue a number of other incarcerated Rebels.

With Rogue Squadron once more at full strength, the Alliance faced a new threat&mdash;the Imperial Moff Kohl Seerdon, who had set his aims on the precious bacta supplies of Thyferra, hoping to cripple the Rebellion's medical efforts. Skywalker and the Rogues were tasked with a series of quick hit-and-run raids to disrupt Seerdon's operations. The first included an A-wing strike against the Imperial tibanna gas mining colony of Taloraan. During the Taloraan raid, a group of Rebels had stolen three AT-PTs from an Imperial research facility on the icy planet of Fest. The Rogues raced to help their comrades, whose escape had not gone as planned. Skywalker personally escorted the AT-PTs to safety through a heavy fire zone, once more employing the harpoon and tow cable tactic to bring down three AT-ATs. He then proceeded to destroy Seerdon's research facility.

In retribution for the Fest raid, Seerdon initiated a blockade of the planet Chandrila. The Rogues were once more rushed into action, first helping to escort an armored hover train carrying supplies vital to the Chandrilan resistance forces, and then overseeing the escape of civilians aboard evacuation shuttles. Rogue Squadron was ultimately able to secure the city after a contested dogfight. When Moor spotted Seerdon escaping from the scene in his own shuttle under the escort of several TIE Interceptors after the battle, Skywalker personally ordered her to refrain from pursuing him, warning her that they did not know how many ships he had backing him up.

Rogue Squadron soon engineered their own brand of retribution, destroying an Imperial geothermal energy transmitter, the Capacitor, above a volcano on the planet Sullust. However, the effort turned out to be nothing but a diversion by Seerdon, drawing the Rogues away from his true intentions: the seizure of Thyferra's bacta, to cut off the Rebellion's supplies for good. Skywalker led his squadron into battle against Seerdon's forces in the Thyferra skies. The skirmish culminated in a final head-to-head dogfight between Skywalker and Seerdon himself, in a modified Sentinel-class landing craft. Skywalker was able to destroy Seerdon's craft, killing him, finally securing the planet's bacta.

At some point during this period, Skywalker, Antilles, Dak Ralter, and Zev Senesca entered into a friendly race through Beggar's Canyon in T-16 Skyhoppers. Skywalker defeated each of his squadronmates, ritualistically finishing the race by "threading" the eye of the Stone Needle, though he admitted afterwards that he felt bad since he was a certified expert at the course.

Notes:
 * I've listed the defection of Corellia as the first time Skywalker employed the tactic of tripping AT-ATs with tow cables. This may, in fact, first occur at an earlier time of which I am unaware.
 * Included are some quotes you may find useful.

Collapsing New Empires by Atarumaster88''
Some time after the defeat of Palpatine, Luke, his sister, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, were involved in a brief space battle against a group of older-modeled TIE interceptors. They defeated the Imperial craft when Leia noticed a group of Jawa sandcrawlers floating in space. Skywalker and Solo also noticed an experimental TIE X1 fighter fleeing the scene of battle and they pursued it. The craft led them to a facility filled with Imperial war machinery and inhabited by an artist named Perek, who emerged to greet Skywalker, Solo, Organa Solo, and Chewbacca. Though Perek claimed to be harmless, Skywalker sensed a disturbance in the Force and the others were suspicious as well. While investigating a group of unusual insects, Skywalker was beset upon by a group of Jawas. Activating his lightsaber, he sliced through them, revealing that only Jawa-sized droids were present under the robes. Furthermore, R2-D2 and C-3PO, who had gone exploring the facility by themselves, had had sizable droid chassis attached to them and had grabbed hold of Han, Leia, and Chewbacca. Meanwhile, Skywalker had issues of his own, as his mechanical arm began to mutate and grow, consuming more of his arm. Confronting Perek, Skywalker learned that he had created an "art virus" that consumed organic flesh and used it to create mechanical replacements instead. Perek claimed that soon Skywalker would be a machine, like his deceased father, thanks to his infection, but Skywalker angrily denied that, cutting off his own out-of-control mechanical arm. Han Solo and Chewbacca had disabled the rest of the droids and the virus-carrying insects with a Corellian spark grenade, and the deranged artist was defeated, though at the cost of Skywalker's right forearm.

Storyteller by Atarumaster88
Eons after the life of Luke Skywalker, the battered remains of C-3PO would encounter a species known as the Squidge, who were being oppressed by another people, the Vindar. A pair of Squidge approached the torso of the droid asking for stories and C-3PO obliged by telling them stories of the Rebellion, including the accomplishments and adventures of Luke Skywalker. Though one of the Squidge and C-3PO were shot by a Vindar patrol, the other Squidge found a green-bladed lightsaber near C-3PO and, inspired by his stories, vowed to seek justice for his people.

 * All mentions (or indirect mentions) of baby Luke in The Last of the Jedi books
 * Star Wars Masterpiece Edition - Never read any of these. Might Luke be mentioned in one or both?
 * Anakin Skywalker: The Story of Darth Vader
 * C-3PO: Tales of the Golden Droid
 * Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections - Luke carried single pair of proton torpedoes on Death Star attack.
 * The Official Star Wars Technical Journal of the Planet Tatooine - Maybe for "Legacy" section: Luke's story was well-known even to the smallest kids on Tatooine, and visitors to Tatooine could take the Skywalker Tour.
 * The Making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith - The scene where Luke was handed over to the Lars in Ep.3 was filmed on September 7, 2000, while the crew was on location in Chott el Jerid, Tunisia for Ep.2. In this scene, Luke was portrayed by a newborn baby doll designated on the Call Sheet as "A.N. Other."
 * Missions 1 - just after Ep4 - Skywalker left the party a bit early to tinker with his X-wing's proton torpedo launcher. Sensors detected a modified Carrack assault cruiser entering the Yavin system, and Solo, against General Dodonna's orders, flew out in the Millennium Falcon to stop it. The assault cruiser was badly damaged and forced to crash land eight kilometers east of the base. After the Rebels managed to subdue the Imperials and capture the ship's captain, they discovered that the Death Star was carrying a large load of contaminated bacta. During the skirmish with Imperial troopers, the Rebels befriended an ancient droid named Q-7N.
 * Missions 2 - don't have it...
 * Missions 3 - Skywalker, Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, and Q-7N traveled to Thyferra in Missions 2, and then headed to Delrakkin aboard the Falcon in an attempt to uncover the Empire's plot. During this time, Skywalker is frustrated that Solo and the Princess seem to like each other. As the Millennium Falcon neared the planet, twenty-four X-wing starfighters flown by Imperial pilots (in the hopes of staging a false Rebel raid on the planet Delrakkin) attacked the Falcon. Solo and Skywalker defended from the upper and lower gun turrets respectively, with Luke trusting not in the targeting computer but in the Force, as Obi-Wan Kenobi had taught him, and managing to take out two of the attackers, while Solo destroyed one. A fourth, however, crashed into the Falcon's deflector shield projector, forcing the ship to stage a crash and land for repairs. One of the Rebels launched after the remaining X-wings in the Y-wing starfighter attached to the hull of the Falcon. After being shot down, nearly captured, infiltrating the Liquidator, and succeeding in returning to the downed Falcon in one of the captured Imperial X-wings, Skywalker and the others discovered that the Liquidator was headed for the Yavin system and quickly left in pursuit.
 * Missions 4 - As the Millennium Falcon reverted to realspace upon entering the Yavin system, Skywalker and Solo were forced to shoot down a probe droid sent by the Liquidator towards Yavin 4 in an attempt to locate the Rebel base. One of the Rebels destroyed the Liquidator, and upon being rescued by the Millennium Falcon, Han, Chewbacca, Luke, Leia, R2, 3PO, and Q-7n returned to celebrate with the Rebels until late in the night.
 * Missions 5-8,11,12 - don't have them
 * Missions 13 - sometime prior to Ep5 - Luke goes with Han, Leia, Chewie, and the droids shopping for spare parts to build the Hoth shield generator. They pick up an ancient B-1 series protocol droid, B-1D4, at a Skrilling salvage ship. En route to Dweem after making their purchases, the tertiary ion reflux enhancer on the Millennium Falcon failed, leaving the ship stranded in space at the mercy of Nikto pirates aboard the Predator-class warship M'hendosat. All the crew but one is captured. (Can we assume this is Luke, since the PC uses the Force and has a welder, and Luke was the one supposed to use the welder before the plan went awry? If so, add stuff about the PC's actions onboard the ship; otherwise, add that he was knocked out by Bothan stun spores and held captive in the ship's brig before being freed.) The one free crew member, with the help of the droids, freed the others and managed to escape. Luke examined B-1D4 and realized that she had been part of the Imperial Department of Redesign's The Heart of Steel project.
 * Mission 14 - don't have it...
 * Mission 15 - Skywalker erased the events of the past few days from the droids' memories to clear the effects of B-1D4's virus; unfortunately, the navigation computer onboard the Millennium Falcon was still infected, reinfecting R2-D2 and rerouting the group from their intended destination of the Rebel base on Hoth to Coruscant, capital planet of the Galactic Empire. Surrounded by hundreds of warships, orbiting battle platforms, and the endless flow of traffic around Coruscant, the crew was forced to pass through Imperial Traffic Control and land, albeit with a secondary transponder to disguise the Falcon as the Icebreak. With little hope of escaping on their own, Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and C-3PO, with the deactivated B-1D4 in tow, followed Solo into the underworld of Coruscant, seeking out former smuggling contact and master criminal Phelon. Convinced dockworker droid in for repairs, blew through plastcrete wall in refresher to avoid customs. Killed three of the four stormtroopers who spot you, including the sergeant. Other managed to flee for backup. Take one hovercab several miles (yes miles, not kilometers) from the spaceport, then hop in another to take you thirty miles to a public elevator entrance into Coruscant's underworld. While eating at a diner, hear that Falcon was identified and the group spotted on holovid. People searching for group. Split up into two groups and manage to reach Phelon's hideout castle after fighting through various Underworld monsters, including his domesticated giant walking fish, Hobbrock. Repaying a long-standing debt to Han Solo, Phelon infected the military security network with B-1D4's code, reprogramming it to allow the Falcon, under the new pseudonym Felon Melon, to leave Coruscant unhindered. The Rebels jumped to hyperspace en route to the nearest Alliance outpost on the planet Cheeyoom Matee. There, they were brought to a debriefing, where the base commander betrayed them to the Empire and allowed stormtroopers to bring the group to the Imperial prison on Merakai.

JJK
''I'm not entirely sure how the timeline works, since apparently Han and Leia don't send their kids to the academy at the same time. Anakin was involved with Jacen and Jaina finding Zekk while they were back on Coruscant (The Lost Ones). Maybe this was Anakin's 3-month vacation from the academy? JJK1 has to start after Heirs of the Force (when the Solo twins start their training) and before The Lost Ones, since JJK1 is his first time on Yavin4.''
 * Bit of a response from Ataru: J & J do go home in The Lost Ones and meet Zekk. I'd have to check again to see if Anakin is directly mentioned. They're back on Yavin 4 by the end of the book IIRC. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 20:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just checked some more: Anakin had already been to the academy by the time the twins came home in The Lost Ones. Do J & J have any breaks on Coruscant from the academy in the YJK books before The Lost Ones. —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:58, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Luke and Tionne went to Tatooine and found Tahiri. Luke promised the Sand People Tahiri would come back one day to decide if she would stay with them or continue her training. The day after returning to the Jedi Praxeum with their newest recruit, the Masters started the first session of the Junior Jedi Academy. Luke sensed that Tahiri and his nephew Anakin were stronger as a team than many adult Jedi, and so did not punish them harshly for disappearing into the jungle during their first days at the academy.

One week later, Luke reluctantly allowed Anakin and Tahiri to accompany the Melodie Lyric to Yavin 8 for her Changing Ceremony. When the two students returned bedraggled, battered, and bruised with a new Melodie named Sannah, Luke was worried and upset about the dangers the kids had gotten themselves into; still, upon sensing the Force running strongly within Sannah, he allowed the young girl to stay and study with her new friends at the Jedi Praxeum.

Somehow the events of the first two books take take nearly 6 months, or Luke and Tionne really took their time getting back to Yavin 4 after meeting Tahiri' s tribe.

One week after the students returned from Yavin 8 and six months after Luke's last visit to Tatooine where he first met Tahiri, Skywalker sent Tahiri back to Tatooine to fulfill his promise to the Sand People, accompanied by Anakin and Tionne in Peckhum's Lightning Rod. There, the Jedi faced more danger, to Luke's dismay, but showed signs of their continuing growth in the use of the Force, leading the Jedi Master to believe that they would become powerful Jedi Knights. When Anakin and Tahiri secretly slipped out again to break the curse of the Golden Globe, Luke Skywalker met the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit, who explained the whole situation to him. He was very proud when the two young Jedi candidates returned, having successfully freed the trapped Massassi souls.

''During the time between these two paragraphs, Anakin is back on Coruscant for three months and the Solo twins are probably doing more of their YJK stuff. Maybe this is where The Lost Ones comes in. Also, Anakin says at the beginning of JJK4 that he had seen Jacen and Jaina during his training on Yavin 4, so these series do occur simultaneously. JJK4 is approximately 1 year after Luke met Tahiri (10- or 12-month year? According to Tuskens in JJK3, 12 months, but the 10 months would work better with the 6 months of the first events plus Anakin's 3-month vacation).''

Luke welcomes Anakin back to the academy after three months away and, realizing that the boy is troubled, tells him they need to talk when he is ready. Uldir stows away on Lightning Rod. Luke agrees to test him, doesn't find Force potential, but allows him to stay if he gets parents' permission. After conversation with Ikrit, Luke allows Anakin to go to Dagobah. Kids return. Luke meets with each individually in his office, before sending them on to talk to Tionne. Then Luke meets with Ikrit. The end. Nothing spectacular.

Some time later, Luke sent Anakin, Tahiri, and Uldir to meet Tionne, who was returning from a research mission to Borgo Prime. As he routinely cleaned R2-D2, oiling and upgrading the droid's various components, the trio entered his office with the Jedi historian and news of a Jedi relic, Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber, originally thought lost in the destruction of the first Death Star. According to Tionne, a Hutt information broker located Kenobi's lightsaber in an abandoned castle on Vjun. From Tionne's description, Luke quickly recognized the castle as Darth Vader's former fortress, Bast Castle. Wishing to retrieve the lightsaber but unable to because of an urgent meeting with Leia on Coruscant, Luke agreed to let Tionne, Ikrit, and R2-D2 escort Anakin, Tahiri, and Uldir to Vjun, assuming the parents of the two boys consented. They did, so the group traveled to Vjun, whereupon they battled through booby traps and fought off Orloc, the "Mage" of Exis Station, who was likewise seeking the saber. Skywalker met the group on the temple landing pad upon their return, pleased to see that they had recovered a Holocron in addition to Kenobi's lightsaber, and surprised to find the adventurers arriving in two ships, Sunrider and the Lore Seeker, when they had departed in one.

(quick summary by Yrf, since I'm doing these books anyway) Luke is called back to Coruscant for most of this book and out of the plot. Tionne places the recovered lightsaber and Asli Krimsan's holocron in Luke's quarters until he returns. Uldir steals them from Luke's quarters. Kids/Tionne/Ikrit go to Exis station, recover Uldir, artifacts. Uldir reforms and realizes he's never going to be a Jedi. After they return to Yavin, Luke spends several hours discussing things with Uldir, and pushes him towards becoming an emergency pilot. Uldir decides to do that and leaves Yavin.
