- Most people can agree that the way Luke Skywalker died in the Sequel trilogy was very underwhelming and disappointing.
But how did he die in the Legends Expanded Universe?
Well, we actually don’t know.
You see as of the recording of this video, there is no information or explanation in Legends as to how Luke Skywalker dies?
But we do know that he eventually dies between the years 45 ABY and 130 ABY which means Luke lived to be around 69 to 149 years old!
And we also know that when he died, he instantly became a Force Ghost like Obi Wan and Yoda.
But even as a Force Ghost, Luke continued to help and guide the Jedi Order for many years, even showing up decades later to support his descendant Cade Skywalker! - Zábava
Translation: He didn't, because he's the f***in' GOAT.

@@StarWars_Insider don't forget about Qui Gon Jin ( u know in the obi wan show
He's about 65 in the final book featuring him. He fully reestablished the Jedi order and by that time had about a thousand Jedi knights. He reestablished the Jedi council, and had a fully rebuilt temple on Coruscant.
He accomplished soo much
This is exactly what we should have gotten in the Sequels.

@@macledisgan okay shill
Personal head canon: Luke gathers his students young and old, giving a partial farewell telling them not to be sad as he'll return soon. He hops into his now very old X wing with R2 by his side as they leave the temple and head back to Tatooine. When they arrive, they're greeted by 3P0, who'd gotten a personal ride to see them. They all walk the streets as Luke looks around seeing visions of Ep 4. Eventually arriving at the farmhouse where he grew up. They have one last meal together as Luke imagines him his wife, aunt and uncle, Han, Leia, a baby Ben Solo, Chewy, R2, 3P0, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Padme and Anakin all together. And at sunset he walks outside where he stares at the binary sunset as the force ghosts of Leia, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Qui gon, and Anakin gather around him. As Anakin asks "You ready Son?" Luke replies "Ya I am." His robes fall as all that remains is a force ghost of Luke then the scene ends with him uttering "May the force be with us all."
Nice
This should be canon
Thanks asshole now I'm crying!
Good enough for me. 👍
Bro made a better death scene than Disney…which isn’t hard but god damn that was good
They did 69 years for a reason 😂
Haha 😆
He unlock a new jedi trick.
They sure did know
Mara got his lightsaber haha
69 dudes!!!!
Luke never gave up on his father, who slaughtered kids, and millions of innocents. Why would he give up on his own nephew because of a bad dream? If you like this writing, you don't understand who Luke Skywalker is
Agreed. They absolutely ruined his character
Preach it brother
His father wasn't his responsibility. Luke didn't train his father. He never met his father until he was steeped in the Dark Side and had already commited countless atrocities, nothing he could do would undo those acts. And yet his still nearly killed his father before redeeming him.
His nephew was Luke's responsibility. Luke helped train him as a child. Luke felt the dark future (because seeing the future is LITERALLY a Force Power, it's called Farseeing, so referring to it as a bad dream seems pretty disrespectful to one of the most powerful Force Users to exist) that was possible for his nephew, dozens of atrocities that had not yet come to be, but that could if he allowed them to pass. Yet even with that, he only considered taking action against his nephew for an instinctual moment. But that was enough.
Luke is literally on the other side of the situation with his father than he was with his nephew. The fact people seem not to understand this difference is not surprising. Also, if you accept that Luke is more powerful later on than he is in Return of the Jedi, then you must agree that people grow and change over time, or else you are openly hypocritical. Luke in a New Hope would mqke different decisions than Luke from Return of the Jedi because there is a difference of experience between those points in his life, for better or for worse. I can agree that The Last Jedi didn't do a fantastic job explaining why Luke is different, but to expecting Luke to be and act the same as the last time we saw him is frankly improbable.
@@josephperez2004Still bad writting. Even if I take seriously the event who develop this (Luke almost killing Ben, what makes no sense because he can left out his fury i'm the fight with Vader. An older and wiser version should not easy fall for that) isn't factible Luke just exiles himself and abandon his friends
That wasn't character development, it's a total rewriting of the character.
Anyways The Last Jedi is that bad what it waste filming time in two uselles subplots (Pol rebelry and Finn quest) instead of trying explain the Luke perspective in a more convincing way.
@@francopaoloni4701 Two points I want to add briefly. One, in RotJ, Luke does give into his anger at least twice, once with the emperor, where he is only stopped by Vader (otherwise he would’ve killed Palpatine in cold blood) and again when Vader is down on the ground and Luke is swinging frantically at him until he sees Vader’s mechanical parts and realizes his mistake. Two, this post is about Luke’s death in TLJ, which I think fits Luke’s character pretty well - once Luke shows up, he apologizes to Kylo and saves all the good guys, sacrificing himself so they can live on. That sounds more like the definition of a true Jedi to me than murdering all the bad guys.
The last book I read, he was in his 60s, was the grandmaster of the Jedi order and had a son named ben who was also a Jedi. Chewie had died in the vong saga, Han and leia were married and had three children, all Jedi until Jason becomes a sith and is killed by his twin sister after being additionally trained by boba fett, the mandalore. Only the daughter Jana was still living amongst the three solo children. The cannon continued to be told in real time for 40 years until Disney came along and crushed it on one swoop.
Didn’t Jason leave a child behind or am I wrong?
@@andrewperea1879 Yes, with Tennel Ka, a Jedi who grew up with him training on the temple on Yavin IV and who is the daughter of a Witch of Dathomir (but not the night sisters. Disney went weird where they forgot the other sects of witches of Dathomir exist)
Mark Hamill even said that the Disney films weren't his Luke. He called the character a different name. I think it was dave or john that he called him
It was Jake
@@someniam8021
Thank you. I couldn't remember
Jake Skywalker Luke's alcoholic brother 😂
What irks me 😖 in 2010s The Force Awakens, Luke & the story, plot drives to having him flash in, save the day & be a big hero. It was a simple, great way to set him up. Like how he is in the Mandalorian series S1 end. A big show of his immense power.
Should have been Puke Skywalker
The funniest thing is that, Disney never made Luke Skywalker reform the Jedi Order and now there are no Jedi left.
Sadly, they're making plans for a Rey New Jedi Order movie. As if they didn't already have a New Jedi Order people wanted to see on the big screen
@@The_Car_Pen That's bad, they are recreating the story. They are taking potential from Luke.
@@user-tj3to6ps9t potential? They stole every accomplishment from Anakin and Luke Skywalker and gave it to a bland "character-less character" who did NOTHING to deserve any of it. She was perfect in every way. Never failed at anything she did. Disney can go to 🔥
@@AUnit2010 True
@@AUnit2010 u know i was a theory about 5 yrs ago or something when this movie cam out and it was about if snoke was mace windu and i thought about it could have made an excellent story instead of trying to bring palpatine back and make sense becuz mace would be angry the skywalkers and took in kylo to train him and use him then throw him away and the palpatines which rey and get revenge on her but luke would help the entire trilogy and like that
Star wars as a whole died the moment Disney bought it
I'm guessing 149 is probably the more accurate death age, just because it is canon that force sensitives live longer. And honestly, 150 is probably on the low end for how long the force could help extend Luke's life given how powerful he is in Legends.
In legends he was the Grandmaster of the Order, and died a heros death.
In Disney he was old man yelling at cloud, and died a pointless death
Imagine using the Force to project yourself across the galaxy and not die in a fight just to die right after
"A heros death" how?
Honestly, Disney made Luke die of embarrassment...
It was done to ruin a legacy character that was iconic. Notice none of the women characters were destroyed maybe except Leia with the Mary Poppins scene.
He doesn't have a written death in the EU
It was very underwhelming. I hate what Disney has become.
Disney sucks as a big evil corporation but I mostly blame the writers and directors. They had the responsibility to give us a good trilogy and failed
@@IZA_Greywell said. It's like someone just flippantly let people who hate the franchise take over, & didn't even try to course correct cause they had some grudge against the fans.
...Especially that Riann Ryan Brian Brianne Raain guy, he came across arrogant & spiteful. It's such a waste
@@tobymcgroby8967 the sad thing is that they probably thought they were making a good trilogy. Just dumb out of touch writing. Catering to the wrong fans and straight up shitty choices
Well that’s the part I disagree love or hate the Disney Luke IMO got the perfect death looking into the sun one last time just like how he looked into the sun all those years ago when his journey began it was a poetic death IMO
I’m not the biggest fan of Luke in the sequels but the idea of him having a peaceful death without any violence and staring at the twin suns was a perfect send off for him. Truly the best way a Jedi could go out.
Very stupid way to go out too, but yes, it was peaceful.
I sorta understand and I agree I’m not a big fan of it as well but definitely wish everything was done differently but I don’t mind much now myself 🙏🏻I gotta rewatch the movie again for sure haha and btw hope you doing well😎
The problem with his death is that he didn't accomplish anything. He failed at all his endeavors, gave up and died.
More power to you my friend 👍
@@histguy101 i mean the execution was poor but he did accomplish saving the resistance and kinda passing on the “new hope” role to rey
We don't talk about the new trilogy 💀 cause... god..
Much better then the sequels Luke’s death
Wish we got a what if
Han Solos death was stupid!

Harrison Ford asked to be killed off! Don't pin this one on Disney!!
@@brianmcdonald6519
But the way he died was ridiculous 💩
@@tadashiyoshida3674 Yeah, they could have probably found a more realistic way, but who knows what they were thinking!
All of them were stupid. Even Leia
Luke was so sigma that the legends writers knew they couldn't kill off the first protagonist of Star Wars
I think obi wan is the first hero. Obi wan teach Luke about force power.
@@Salman2323Putera I'm talking about how Luke was the first hero
As he appeared first in the original trilogy
The sequels should have kept the (now) Legends canon and been the explanation for how Luke, Han and Leia finally die after all of those expanded stories! 🤦🏼♂️
From what I can remember, the writers of the EU knew that they couldn’t come up with a good way for Luke to die, so the literally just killed him off-page. We don’t know when or why, but he’s gone, and that’s the best way for him to have gone.
The way Disney killed Luke is such a disrespectful excuse to get rid of him so that rey can show off her shiny plot armor, they literally said "you ran out of energy your force meter is empty" he was one of the most powerful jedi ever that makes no sence
I know I’ve been thinking the same
👍
@Clonearmy-jy2xc Ok
It would be cool that Luke as son of the chosen one, the most powerful Jedi Luke, he's so special that...he's still is able to grab things, hug someone, use the force, and use a lightsaber like a normal living person, and and impact the living world like a living organism would, but still remains a force ghost.
its sad that luke skywalker's death, for how meh it was in the sequel trilogy was still the coolest thing they did with him in the movie :sob:
he died from being tired 🤦♂️
Padme died from being sad
Anakin died from the high ground
Obi-wan died trolling his former padawan
Legends Luke is the greatest hero in all of fiction.
It's almost like killing off the main character isn't the best idea
He's not the main character though
Luke *NEVER* was the main character
That was Anakin
@@adamhastie8439 Luke is the main character of the priginal trilogy. We follow him not Anakin
@@LuisPerez-5 Luke is the main character the OT but not star wars
The Prequels and OT show Anakin's rise, fall and redemption
Anakin has more screen time than any other character in the skywalker saga
@@adamhastie8439, go watch A New Hope then come back to me lol
"How did Luke die in legends?" "We don't know" ... great vid
When I saw the thumbnail i thought mark hamill died pls dont scare me like that
Is there a video on Luke's son, Ben Skywalker?
That old pic of Luke looks like Robert Plant
i was thinking same thing
@@pauldolan1265 lol I actually saw him in concert yesterday
That thumbnail scared me
As someone who stared into that sunset alongside Luke, back in 1977, I say that Luke never died, and never will.
Legends ignores a huge part of who these characters were supposed to be: revolutionaries.
Fr. They care more about others than what star wars really always was. It's about the skywalkers. Other expanded stuff is nice from time to time, but most legends supporters forget what it's about. They think their old republic characters are superior to the skywalkers and ahsoka and think they can easily be beat when George Lucas himself stated Anakin is the strongest and the chosen one. Not luke
@@TheRealAnakinSkywalker66nah bra there’s no way people are saying Ashoka is stronger then Anakin. It would be a good fight maybe even a hard challenge but that would be all due to her knowing most of his moves like obi wan but other then that nah
Yeah, they won the revolution in their 20/30s and rebuilt the New Republic and the Jedi order. When the old continuity was cancelled, Luke was about 65.
And that's just not true. Han & Leia, and others act never give up their revolutionary spirit throughout all of Legends
I see your point but to be fair, they won their revolution and needed to build a new galaxy
@TheRealAnakinSkywalker66 No. Anakin WOULD have been more powerful than Luke if he had reached his full potential. Luke literally has. The man was stabbed and was tangling with Abeloth and was healing himself faster than the wounds could cripple him, he fought Abeloth AND three powerful Sith at the same time. Yes, Anakin was the Chosen One but he didn't reach the full potential of what he could become whereas Luke did
That pic that flashed at the 149 year old mark, WHOA, at THAT point I'd be ready to be "one with the force"...
I am 50 and I am ready for it.😂
He killed all his midaclorians by Astro projecting which were the only things keeping him alive.
Mans was drained 😪
Thats a dumb explanation for a mediocre power that has been used to greater effect with no consequence in the original continuity
it's like fapping to many times in one day 😂
They didn’t give him a story on his death in legends because he was too much of a GOAT to have a death. He lived a hero and died a hero and continued living a hero even afterwards
I think people just hate Luke’s sequel death because of how his character was up to that point. His death really wasn’t that bad. I mean he projects himself halfway across the galaxy to faux fight kylo and gives the resistance time to escape. People say they wanted to see the powerful Luke like we did in mando and we got it. This shows his power.
I can agree to an extent. What he did with projecting himself was powerful but it was overlooked by his characters bad writing in those films
Honestly, Star Wars/Disney now lost a core of fans with Luke’s treatment.
The fact Luke never got to refound the jedi order will never not infuriate me.
Most people can agree that the sequel trilogy was very underwhelming.
I'm not one of them! I enjoyed the sequel trilogy MUCH more than the prequel trilogy!!
@@brianmcdonald6519 lol you can’t be THAT thirsty for attention, troll
@@brianmcdonald6519keep your lack of taste to yourself then.
@@fandomking8939 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! No dumba** is going to tell me I can't voice mine!!
@@brianmcdonald6519you are entitled to your opinion, just as I am entitled to tell you that it's a stupid opinion. And it says so much that you resorted to insulting me.
Between 69 to 149 years old...sounds like trying to guess a Black Gentleman's age.
My head canon is that he lived to nearly 100, he became 1 with the force, much like Yoda, resting in bed, surrounded by family and friends. Not as flashy as dying in battle or sacrificing himself to save the galaxy yet again, I know, but I feel after an entire life of saving the day, he deserves rest
Actually this would be amazing. Now we know Yoda's full life so his passing with Luke by his side has much more impact. He had seen so much. He'd seen friends die in Order 66 and old age, a student became the most powerful Sith and trained his son to do different.
Any way of Luke's passing with his loved ones around would be beautiful. A confirmation that he did right and by the end of it all, Anakin did brought balance to the force.
"disappointing" is a rather polite way of saying "complete and utter tripe"
I just opened CZcams to see the thumb nail and my heart sank because I thought Mark Hamel died
Hopefully soon!! He's just an insane woke idiot irl.
This is precisely why I like the sequels better than Legends. Legends reduces an entire dimension to Luke, Han and Leia. And don't get me started on their obnoxious kids. If you thought Rey and Kylo Ren were bad, wait till you see how precocious Anakin solo is. Or how unoriginal characters like Jaina Solo and Mara Jade are. Luke feels like a real character in The sequels, just like he does in the original movies, instead of some plot device.
To each his own I guess. I personally loved the Young Jedi series, as well as the New Republic Era. The Yuuzhan Vong War was just absolutely nuts, and Jaycen Solo's fall to the Dark Side was just so well done.
To each their own 👍
Disney: Legends...It is not canon
Me: *IT IS CANON TO ME*
Everything in Disney Star Wars is underwhelming
I actually liked his canon death tbh
Idk id prefer for his life not to be a complete shit show just to highlight him finally fighting for something again to make the death “impactful”
@@Steven-hc1vy from a storytelling standpoint one could argue that Luke ending up the way he did wasn’t good writing but from a realistic standpoint I’d say it WAS because realistically no normal person remains the same as they are in their youth all the way into their elderly years it’s just not realistic PLUS Luke realized he was wrong for staying on the island (with a bit of help from Yoda’s persuasion but still) and sacrificed himself so that the Resistance and the Jedi would live on so do tell me how is that not impactful?
@@alphaxan8175 the difference is it’s Luke. If it were anybody else sure, but Luke is the embodiment of hope and perseverance no matter how dark the situation is. He stood down the devil and death and threw his lightsaber away, just to try and assassinate his good nephew because of a nightmare. That’s not the same character no matter what way you put it, mark hamil agrees. I don’t think it should be illegal to make a what if movie like that but it should be punishable by death to try and canonize it
@@alphaxan8175 look at the battlefront 2 Luke or some of mandalorian. That IS him, always giving people second chances and giving them the chance to make a choice
@@Steven-hc1vy yeah as a young man but I don’t think it’s that crazy to think that he would change as an older man; he’s not God he may be a Jedi Master but he’s no God by any means he’s not infallible
I liked Legends...except when it dealt with Luke, Han and Leia, and by extension, their kids and Mara Jade. Legends treats the characters that remain canon much better.
Legends books were where it was at!
Legends has the best books. Luke was the goat and I like how his son is powerful as well. Ben is one of my favs
@@StarWars_Insider I liked Legends in the prequel era, before the clone wars cartoon, when the clones were fully aware of the betrayal. Also I miss old Boba Fett, although I'm one of the few people that saw Book of Boba Fett for the masterpiece it was, mirroring the legends book The Mandalorian Armor. But tbh, I'm just still mad at how everyone missed the point of all of the Star wars movies, especially the prequels and sequels. Most people who like the prequels don't understand that they're the people being critiqued, that the prequel trilogy is a criticism of liberal bourgeois democracy, and how it will always defer to fascism, rather than side with organized labor. In the prequels, organized labor is represented by the Confederacy of independent systems.
@@StarWars_Insider I definitely don't wanna shit on legends, I just feel like most of the writers for that era really didn't actually understand the source material that they were writing about compared to that of the people who are currently at the helm. The Star Wars sequels and all of the shows are very consistent with their class dialogue.
So he at least outlived his cannon version by 10 years.
actually more than that he lived around between in his 80's and 149
we can agree the sequel was a mess .
Not just disappointing but would say disrespectful
Somewhere in another universe where legends is canon.
Cade skywalker: “somehow luke returned”
I can sum
Up the entire Disney Star Wars trilogy with six words "that's not how the force works"
Bro that thumbnail made my heart drop
In canon, he died to the equivalent of a Force Skype call
The sequel trilogy really ruined my Interest in Star Wars movies. In hindsight the prequels ain't that bad.
Anakin: is mysteriously birthed from the force and no one really knows how.
Luke: Mysteriously dies and no one really knows how.
The circle is now complete!
Cade was a spice addict. Loved that comic run
The way he died in the sequels was one of the few things I didn't hate lol
Man am I the only one who thought Luke’s canon death was actually pretty cool. I mean he went out in probably the most Jedi way possible, sacrificing himself to save everyone’s lives while also abstaining from needless violence
If they did legends it would revive Star Wars franchise.💯
so all proper star wars fans that don't believe the Disney sequels are cannon like me can all agree that luke skywalker has not died yet.
Hollywood just cant let a hero have a happy ending anymore.
Anything is better than dying on a rock from using the force too hard.
Legends is a funny way to say canon Star Wars.
We all collectively agreed that the Expanded Universe is the canon
"ok, so first things first"
he surely lived longer than mara jade
You know when the last Jedi came out I remember my friends telling me that Luke Skywalker died by using the force too much and I didn’t believe them I mean part of the reason I didn’t believe them is that they tried tricking me in the past in the same way but the main reason why I didn’t believe them was because how could he die using his own super powers?
It’s a shame Cade will never exist in the movies.
I don’t care what Disney says, everything legends is canon and their bullshit is just poorly written fanfiction
I don’t think that’s too disappointing or underwhelming, he used all of his power, he did something no Jedi has ever done, something modern powerful than any being could achieve
Disney has severely messed up the entire franchise. It was so much better when Lucas held the reins and also made much more sense.
Legends Luke would be too OP for the Disney cannon.
Grandmaster Luke could probably defeat the entire First order army without tricks
What disney did is unforgivable, what they continue to do i dont know who the hell they are making it for anymore
Having read the Timothy Zahn trilogy of novels I verbally replied "He doesn't" after reading the title.
They left us with the gang going into retirement after crucible.
Good times
I actually liked the way Luke died. It’s completed his arc form being self centered and afraid of going back to face what he created to him showing bravery and allowing him to die in peace
He became a force tempest, a literal storm of living force, then became a force ghost.
149?!?!? Gawd dangggg that's cool. Luke is an inspiration to us all and deserves a better death story someone make legends version asap
I like to think he passed on the mantle to his first student, and went on one last adventure. Like riding off into the sunset
Really enjoyed his sacrifice in the Last jedi 😁 pretty interesting to know there's a mystery about his death in legends
The EU handled Luke’s story the best.
Disney doesnt know who is Luke Skywalker
See legends is canon cause they actually care about the story and characters. Luke son to his grandchildren carry on the skywalker legacy.
he died to become Joker in a parallel universe
Luke never died in the EU, which is canon not "Legends", because Lucas had just a few but very strict rules about what the writers were allowed to do. Namely Luke, 3PO and R2 could never be killed. That's it. Other than that he let the writers do whatever they wanted. Though he did provide feedback from time to time. In the New Jedi Order series they were originally going to kill Han but Lucas told the writers the fans wouldn't care enough about his death. So they killed Chewie instead.
The weird part about the EU is Disney never told the writers to stop they just said “here’s your corner of the universe” and eventually they all just stopped updating their series.
Luke at 149 looks like a fish XD
The way he died and became a force ghost like his father and both masters is just amazing i love the canonical death very luke skywalker like
The last book featuring him was Troy Denning’s Crucible
He died in the sequels? That's how much I paid attention
He is not going to die, because he is the strongest Jedi ever (like George said) and eventually he is going to even reach his full potential and live for ever
"When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmm?"
-Yoda, episode VI
I like to think this has to do something with Luke's canonical (Non-Disney and Non-Legends) age.
You should never show such legendary heroes dying. The writers back then knew that Luke was bigger than them
Yes. I remember when Chewie died and boy. People were mad to say the leaast. Killing Luke Skywalker is like killing 007 or Harry Potter.
He had one of the best deaths in Star Wars history
If only Disney allowed Legends to continue as a separate timeline.
Damn ion know Jedi could live that long
