Luke reforms the Jedi Council

 

From the EC:

Luke superior use of tactics leads to the capture of a Imperial Star Destroyer and to a promotion of General in the NRDF.

Luke then takes command of some of the NR Mid-Rim forces and battles with Lord Shadowspawn, eventually freeing that area of the Rim.

Luke then resigns from the NRDF after watching thousands of his troops die in the conflict, decided that it isn't the place for the last of the Jedi Knights.

I believe these events were all before TTT.

 

Ahah, tx, Wes! So...

From the EC:
Luke's tactics lead to the capture of an entire Imperial Star Destroyer.
Promoted to a General for a shortlived military career, Luke frees a large area of the Rim from Lord Shadowspawn in what sounds to have been an enormous campaign.

 

BLACK FLEET CRISIS

Luke gains knowledge of the White Current and thanks to Luke the NR losses at the final battle with the Yeventha are fewer because of the 'phantom fleet' ploy.

Luke learns some of these techniques, which he teaches at the academy and would come in useful in the NJO when the Jedi hide Yavin IV from the Vong and Peace Keepers.

I can't for the life of me remember the name of the people who use the White Current.

 

Tx again, Wes!

BFC
Using knowledge of the White Current, Luke creates a 'phantom fleet' that play a key role in the defeat of the Yevetha.

 

DARK FORCES 3 - JEDI OUTCAST
Luke drives Desann's Remnant Forces from the Valley of the Jedi.
Luke plays an important role by assisting Kyle Katarn onboard the Doomgiver

JEDI KNIGHT - JEDI ACADEMY
Luke unravels the mysteries regarding the Disciples of Ragnos and formulates the plans to defeat them.

 

I have my Luke Skywalker kill list as well if anyone wants to see it.

 

Sure


Yes!!!! Someone else that thinks Dark Forces 3: Jedi Outcast should have been the proper title for Outcast not Jedi Knight 2. Its the third game in a trilogy featureing Kyle.

 

Luke's tactics lead to the capture of an entire Imperial Star Destroyer.

Just as a note: Han Solo and his Endor SpecOps team captured the first Alliance Star Destroyer over Endor on their way back to the fleet while returning from the surface mission.

 

UNION:

Luke gives a great speech to divert an Imperial radical from causing disaster for the New Republic at his own wedding.






Note: In the Unofficial SW encyclopedia it was noted that the Imperial's plan of crashing the NR computers wouldn't have worked anyway because of precautions taken against such an action.

 

Luke attempts to lead the Jedi Order, with some difficulties and schisming

I think that should be rephrased to "Luke leads the Jedi Order despite a rift". He doesn't ATTEMPT to, he SUCEEDS

 

He also achieved nothing much for most of the NJO . . .

Some of his actions, I noticed, didn't mention:

His Force battles against the Dathomirian Nightsisters; the way he piloted the Falcon in the end

Shadows of the Empire

Bakura

His Darksaber surface campaign

The New Rebellion

Stopping the Eye of Excellence

(I hesitate to mention Crystal Star)

 

Completely false Excellence, Luke did quite a bit in the NJO. As you shall soon see.

 

Just because Luke wasn't the main focus of the NJO, it was now essemble instead of the standard Bantam fare of "Luke does something while danger and deceit await Luke and Leia. They're in docking bay 15, getting a drink" doesn't mean he didn't do anything.

 

Masterskywalker, you perhaps mistook my sneaky cynical " " for genuine sincerity.

 

Hookay, updated version... Bolds are responses to people!

I have my Luke Skywalker kill list as well if anyone wants to see it.

Go on, MS, you know you want to Interesting fact, btw, dp4m!

Btw, Excellence, the Eye of Excellence? Where was that?

PLANET OF TWILIG

(is this a good compromise, Reaper? )

COmpromise means you're not fully doing as I say, meaning you're not fully correct

 

I have one that you seemed to have missed:
THE FILMS:
Became the catalyst for the balance of the Force.

 

Sorry, Dart, I was jesting about the Eye of Excellence. I alluded to the Eye of Palpatine, and Luke's frantic efforts to stop it in Children of the Jedi.

Participated in the Academy defence in Darksaber against Pellaon's assault vehicles.

As for COPL, he did a startling number of things. He killed his share of evil Nightsisters; made a mess of any Imperials that contested him; single-handedly took down the Nightcloak, preventing Dathomir from freezing to death, and all on it; was resurrected by the Force when almost killed by Nightsister chief Gethzerion . . . and piloted the Falcon at the end alone spectacularly. He also floated Isolder and himself down from the sky like a parachute.

In the New Rebellion, he tracked down Brakiss and bested him in that saber duel, though neither side was really fighting hard. And he did hold off Kueller enough for Leia to fire him from the job.

 

Luke is leader of a strike-force to Wayland, where the Empire's clones are destroyed


I am a huge Luke fan and Love this thread but I believe that above line is in error. It was Han that was Leader of that Strike force. In fact I believe there is a line where Luke or someone asks Han about it being his First Command since resigning his General Commission Just before they head into Wayland. Then Han makes some kind of Comment about hoping it's not his Last command which is where the Title of the book comes from. Luke Participates and is instrumental in the missions success but Han was the Actual "Leader"

 

I thought the title of Last Command always came from the emperor's last command being fulfilled

But yeah I also remember Han being in charge of the strike team not luke.

 

Thrawn007: SURVIVOR'S QUEST (FORTHCOMING)

Luke retrieves the remains of the Outbound Flight Project from the Chiss in the Unknown Regions along with his wife Mara Jade

Hmm, nice one; I think it's best to leave material that's not published yet out of this list. There may be a lot more in the story than that, of course!

Reaper: COmpromise means you're not fully doing as I say, meaning you're not fully correct



Doright: While I thought it was the Emperor's Last Command to Mara, Thrawn's Last Command, and so on, that's an interesting take! Also, I'll take the correction! Tx! Glad you like the thread!
