I don't think I want Luke to die, but it would be nice if he got a little peace in his life. That's going to be a lot harder now that Mara's out of the picture. But maybe, being the Grand Master and all, he'll never get that. It's the life he's chosen as the Jedi head honcho. I just think he should get some time where he doesn't have to deal with a galaxy-wide war (I guess there was that post-NJO decade). Maybe three will be the magic number.

Hmm....a thought. Related to Lucas' offhand comment that R2-D2 retells the stories of Episodes I - VI in 104 ABY....might this perhaps be at Luke's funeral?

Makes him live to 123, which may be enough to satisfy most Luke fans, without making him live into the ridiculous 200+ years some people argue....

Worth a thought....

that would be interesting.

personally i dont think Luke should be killed off. i forget who on this thread said it but they said maybe Luke should do the Ben Kenobi thing an let the younger generation kill off Jacen. here's the problem i have with this: as much as i hate Jacen, he is sill number 2 in the power rankings of the current Force users. If Luke dies this way, then the Jedi order is pretty much toast. the only Jedi who could prolly take Jacen is Ben and Jaina. and thats more raw power when it comes to Ben.

Obi-wan could do what he did only because he knew that Luke was the match for Vader and the Emperor. Luke doesn't have that luxury. Ben is to ill trained (granted Luke was farther behind, but he did have the one of the most powerful Jedi in Yoda to take over his training. Ben doesn't have that great of options), an Jaina could only do so much against Jacen. Jacen is to powerful for Jaina right now. i say this in light of we know nothing of the Sword of the Jedi prophecy really. until that happens, Jacen would be to much if Luke doesn't take him out.

Luke should deal with jacen, then die.

or he could do what Jacen did to Onimi and achive the Unifying Force (w/e the name is) and kill Jacen off, but also do what Anakin Solo did and just be consumed by the Force.

I'm not sure that's true. I believe Anakin Skywalker was more powerful than Obi-Wan when they faced off, but he still managed to be defeated. Plus, there are a scores of Jedi by now, right? Or at least a couple or a few hundred. Could Jacen really take them all?

i see your point, but let me say this. Anakin lost becuase he had an ego larger than the Death Star. as for the number of Jedi now. comon. i agree with the masses and think that the Jedi, Luke or not, are all kinda dumb. Jacen could take them in much the same way Palpy took the Order. crappy proposition, but plausible

Then both of them will be gone. I don't really think thats a good way to end this.

At this point I don't believe Luke Skywalker will be killed by the end of LOTF. I think he may very well be beaten and perhaps terribly injured in Fury or Invincible, but I think his death is now out of the question.

Jacen is in a similiar area as Luke, either he lives and suffers some defeat at someone's hands, or he is killed and eliminated forever.

Frankly I'd like to see a rematch of Skywalker vs Jacen Solo and have Jacen win, only to be defeated by the combined efforts of Luke's jedi order. It would show that Luke's order doesn't need him to protect the galaxy. A message they certainly haven't shown so far.

And now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

kinda the point isnt it? of course its a crappy idea. but it is sadly a option.

DS - that would just be sad. Luke, the most powerful Jedi in history dies at Jacens hand. and then the Order kills Jacen. yeah its a message thathasnt been told, but it would hurt the character even more

I want Luke to die so I can quit caring about Star Wars for good.

If you are reading Star Wars now and care about it, why would you want to not care? Just don't care about it anymore. With or without Luke Skywalker.
