Questions of rank and Dark Empire

Has Luke ever made it past Commander? Han got to be a general, Lando got to be a general but Luke Skywalker always is a commander. The poor guy even goes over to the Empire and STILL only gets to be a Supreme Commander. Probably figured "Man, I can't even go Darth Vader and make it past commander, I'm out of here!"
Also in Dark Empire 2 there is mention of Luke traveling to Nespis or something and facing "great difficulty" in getting Kam Solusar back from the dark side. Is this story represented anywhere in a comic book or are we just supposed to speculate?

 

Luke was a general for a time, IIRC. And Luke and Kam story was supposed to be told in the comic Lightsider which ended up never getting made.

 

Luke was a general for a time, IIRC.

I don't recall where, but I am 99% sure you are correct.

 

It was in the time of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.

 

Supreme Commander is above general. Like 5 ranks I belive.

 

I'll have to go look for that, I was thinking after I posted that maybe he did make general for a while but then why did he go back to commander? What is IIRC? Maybe it was in the Thrawn trilogy?
That bugs that they never did the Kam story. Now I have to spend the rest of my days wondering. OR I could just make up my own story!

Supreme Commander is above General? I didn't know that. I never was very good with ranks. thanks.

Here.

 

thank you, I'll start on it but it may be awhile, I have a huge test to study for and it's one of those where the whole semester is based on the midterm and the final. I'll let ya know when I'm done, I just know you'll be waiting with baited breath! P

 

Luke was a General for six months, When he returned to the military, he took the rank of Commander. Probaly cause it has far less responsibilities attached to it.

It's int he Essential Chronology

 

I'm almost positive Luke is specifically referred to as a general for the first time in Dark Empire.

 

You'd be wrong, then. Luke was promoted from commader to general about a year after the Battle of Endor, since he helped capture a Star Destroyer. Luke resigned less then a year later, after the conflict with Lord Shadowspawn. I believe it had something to do with needless death, which was the reason Luke was uncomfortable with the burden of command in the first place.

 

Dark Empire was an early piece of EU material from the revival. I was saying that DE was the first EU source (in Earth time) to mention Luke ever being a general.

I did not say he was a general in DE, just that the reference to him being or having been one was made.

 

Luke Skywalker was promoted to General, then resigned a short time later, as was mentioned earlier.

And Supreme Commander is WAY higher than General. It's like Commander-in-Chief (like GW Bush in the US).

Basically, the Supreme Commander is like the absolute dictator of the military. The top dog. In DE the only person the SC reported to was the Emperor himself.

In the IR I'm not sure how it works. I think SC Pellaeon is higher than the Moff Council.

Speaking of ranks and DE, where does an "Executor" (like Executor Sedriss) stand in the Imperial ranks (no pun intended)?

 

Executor is like supreme commander.Except Executor sounds ten times badder.

 

Executor is the name of a SSD...




Executor is basically another term for enforcer, the one that is suppose to carry out the Emperor's will.
