This video almost had me in tears several times. This right here is the Luke I know and love. The Luke that taught me to see the good in others when no one else does. To be kind, compassionate and caring to those around you, especially those who have fallen into misfortunate circumstances or situations. That everyone has good in them and is capable of good things, some of them just need a little help and a guiding hand to show them the path to light side. Legends Luke Skywalker is the superior Luke. He truly is the superior chosen one. (For everyone and all you love able nerds my self included, my last seven words are a spider-man reference. If know and/or get the reference here’s a cookie:🍪)

Luke skywalker is not only my favorite Star Wars character, but he´s my personal hero, ever since i was a little boy, he inspired me to be better , and always strive to carve your own way, despite all my flaws, luke showed how you can fall but you can always get up, and that you never give up on your loved ones, no matter how bleak the situation is, there´s always hope. Which is to say when Last jedi came out, i had a horrible reaction to it, i felt depressed and quit star wars for many years, but recently i kinda rekindled my love for the series and the old EU, it doesnt matter what disney and its executives did, the lessons i learned from the REALLuke Skywalker will never die, and as an adult i came to appreciate the old Star wars more. AWESOME VIDEO btw

The sequel trilogy is trash...just pure trash. The stuff put out by the house of mouse is so bad you can almost smell it. And hearing people refer to it as canon just irritates me. There is only one canon and that's what some now call legends.

I loved the heir to the empire series all the way up to the luuke clone. I think it could have worked if the clone was greatly flawed but i was never a fan anyone could successfully clone anything strong in the force. It greatly diminishes the importance of an individual as the chosen one and their path/actions because technically you could take an any jedi or sith and clone an entire army of force users which just cheapens the lore entirely 👎👎👎

I miss Legends Luke so much. I really hate what Disney did to Luke, making him to be just like the Old Jedi when… in my opinion, the man who redeemed Anakin Skywalker should be anything but. Force Ghost Obi-Wan said it best in Heir of the Empire, after all. He’s the first of the new Jedi. He changes the Jedi to embrace their mortal emotions while balancing that with their connection to the Force. I’m not saying Luke shouldn’t have failings… hell Legends Luke failed a bit too, Luke was almost killed by Jorus, he almost lost his students several times, he lost Jacen Solo to the Dark Side, and Dark Empire was a MAJOR oof in Luke’s journey since he almost lost himself into the dark side… and yet what makes Legends Luke so great, is that he never gave up. Luke grew from each of his failings and became a Jedi Mastee beyond Yoda and the Old Council because of how he grew beyond the fear of the dark side. You could also argue with Dark Empire, if you want to add context of the Chosen One prophecy, that Anakin fulfilled the prophecy by defeating the main Palpatine, but Luke had to grow beyond the Chosen One by confronting the returned Palpatine on his own terms… and unlike Anakin who’s bond to Padmé was used to trap him… Luke’s bond to his friends, especially Leia as his sister, freed him. Thus, Luke finally became a Chosen One in his own right.
