    The Imperial Palace? Last time a Skywalker tried that he at least got to make out with a sexy Twilek Sith. So go Luke? [face_dunno]

    As I posted in the Marvel thread, it's really worrisome if he actually makes it into the Palace and the Emperor doesn't notice.

    Destiny must REALLY be looking out for the Son of Suns, geez.

    I admit, I'll laugh if the whole point is that Luke has no idea it's the Palace and he just shows up and is just like "golly"

    Better yet:
    Luke: "What a big place, uuh, just the moment for bathroom emergency. Hey sir, which way are the refreshers?"
    Palpatine: "Down that corridor, and then turn left."
    Luke: "Thank you, have a pleasant day!"
    Palpatine: "You too. What a nice young man."

    I suppose the point will be that the emperor sense him. Otherwise I don't know what is the point of coming to Coruscant.

    It's interesting that Luke will be split from Han and Leia through a few issues. That should drastically change the way this comic reads.

    Just hope the writers remember that Palpatine converted the Jedi Temple into the Imperial Palace, otherwise that's gonna be tough to explain.

    That's why there's a Lucasfilm Story Group. Marvel is well aware of that nugget.

    Well, the Story Group is going to miss something eventually, might as well get the first one over and done with early.

    I look forward to seeing Imperial Coruscant. I wonder what (other than the Jedi Temple) has changed since ROTS.

    I also look forward to seeing the temple, as well as witnessing how Luke, still a farm boy, reacts to the 'big city'.

    Leland went out of his way during the canon panel to mention Temple = Palace (forestalling the need for me to ask). The Marvel editors were on the same panel. They know.

    You guys keep thinking legends star wars and should follow the un-learn what you have learned principle. Why can't Luke go to the Jedi temple in new canon? Because old canon says so? Or you guys? Or some trumped up story from yesteryear. As far as I am concerned their is nothing to stop him from going there and the Emperor may be powerful but not Omni-potent. That was old Dark Empire EU stuff. This is NEU that is cohesive and legit, so anything and everything is possible. They do not have to explain anything, they can do now what they wish because it has not been covered before. :rolleyes:

    He'll get pushed into the middle of a rush of people all wanting to meet Hitler Palpatine, get shoved right into him, and then Palpy will sign Luke's holocron.
