    Ben was mentioned in another thread, so I thought I'd post this question:

    Luke, supposedly the most powerful Jedi, has just had an off-spring. Unlike Han and Leia, this child was born from two powerful Jedi. So, will this mean that Ben will grow up to be the galaxy's most powerful Jedi? can we expect, or do we want, great things from him?

    Any thoughts?

    I thought the vision that Luke had shows a great deal into the future of Ben(i know, always in motion the future is, but give me a break)

    I like the idea of him joining the military. Luke flew for the Rebellion, Mara worked for the Emperor...I think that it's in his blood. He would make a great starfighter pilot of captain(his mothers and uncle's commanding presence).

    I do thin that Mara and Luke will have more than one child....(read Courtship of Princess Leia)

    LOL...i meant in like....18 years or so...nothing is happening with this kid in the NJO. I do think a cool ending for the last book would be showing the galaxy years later, maybe with Ben getting his first command or ship...showing everyone that's still alive and showing the readers that everything turns out alright in the end. Like a "15 years later"...I'm I even making sense?

    Ben Skywalker would be a great starfighter pilot and a great jedi. I think that it is possible for him to be the strongest ever.

    Leia = much Force. Han = much Luck.
    Offspring = Lucky and Force-strong

    Luke = much Force. Mara = some Force, bad luck
    Offspring = Force-strong but unlucky.

    That would be interesting. Ben as a tragically flawed character.

    I get the strange feeling that Ben shouldn't follow in his fathers footsteps. That would be to easy and rather boring if you ask me. He should end up dislikeing or hating Luke after years of being trained as Jedi. Like he would have a choice if didn't want to train. He decides to join the military either as a starfighter pilot or he goes through the ranks and ends up commanding his own ship.

    Or it would be interesting to see him give into the dark side under his own will and become very powerful dark jedi with his own followers. He should then try learning to be Sith.

    Ben defeats Luke when Luke tries to turn him back. For some reason Luke no longer can use the force or isn't strong enough and would never kill his first born.

    Ben's brother(if Luke has another kid) hunts down Ben to try and stop him. They fight several times with each becoming more powerful after every fight. In the end they kill each other leaving a little brother behind. This time Luke and Mara raise him differently.

    Just a though. :)

    I was gonna say; a little breast feeding, diaper filling, gurgling and crying.


    Let's hope he turns after Luke and not Mara.

    Well, I actually hope that he turns out to be a well-socialized, normal guy. Although I think he'll probably be so much like his mother that they'll butt heads a lot. He'll probably carry most of his baggage (that all children carry about their parents) about her instead of Luke, I'll bet.

    And having him turn to the dark side is not fresh and exciting, it's actually been done to death. I'd rather see him as a good person trying to resolve problems with his wit and cunning.

    For some reason, I also imagine him with a really good sense of humor, someone who can put things in perspective without getting all worked up, like Obi-Wan. :)

    Ben should not be trained, it's unfair that, since he is force strong he should be forced to be a Jedi.

    Battle thats what I'm talking about. Since he will be so force strong he will have no choice but to be trained as a Jedi. He won't get to chose his own life or path and there is a good chance he would dislike or hate his parents for it. He might want to be normal but would never get the chance.

    ben was taking formula in the Star By Star book, somewhere in the middle to end....when Han and Leia were babysitting him.

    ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


    probably leader of Rogue Squadron in the future....... :)


    If he is a Jedi, I think he'd be a good undercover guy.....so maybe the NRI, too.


    And, of course......Picking on any little sisters/brothers he has......and hopefully being an overprotective big brother............. ;) :)

    <Darth Infamous closes his eyes in meditation. A vision of the future presents itself to him.>

    After the defeat of the Yuuzhan Vong, and the restoration of peace throughout the galaxy, a new darkness will return from space unknown. A darkness that will engulf the JEDI and turn their leaders son. Ben Skywalker will take follow in his grandfathers footsteps, and ressurect the name DARTH VADER! So it is written, so it shall come to pass!

    <lol>
    Nah, he'll turn to the darkside, so that like his father luke now has to redeem his son as well, little bit of irony.

    I think he'll get captured by the Yuuzhan Vong and they'll shape him into one of them. Then they'll send him back to kill Luke and Mara.

    I actually liked the idea of him being like the Obi-Wan we've come to know in the prequel films. Calm, cool, collected. With a sense of wimsy, that would be a really good character.

    kidnapping of any child in the Skywalker/Solo family has been overdone (Crystal Star, anyone?) And, there was already an attempt to kidnap him in Star by Star. It failed.



    I think he should grow up normal, with *Both* of his parents alive. He could be a Jedi or a pilot or maybe work undercover in the NRI (or what was the NRI). He might not be trained as a Jedi, but he should at least receive basic training, to be able to control himself.

    I could see him as a member of Page's Commandos.

    Or he could be a holovid star! :)

    I don't want him kidnapped, shaped, and sent to kill Luke and Mara.

    He's only about 5 months old. Why don't we wait until his first birthday to speculate on his future?

    nothing for a long, long, time.

    I was going to say a lot of pooping...Gandolf and Keir beat me to it!

    Seriously...i would like it if he did not become a jedi...and was like a smuggler or something. Took more after Han than his own father.

    And i FULLY EXPECT him to resemble his paternal granddather. :D ;)
