How Luke Skywalker BRUTALLY avenged the Death of his Wife | Star Wars Legends

On today's Star Wars Legends lore video, we examine the death of Mara Jade Skywalker - and Luke's subsequent battle against the Sith Lady Lumiya during the Legacy of the Force era. All that and more on today's Star Wars lore video!

The version of Luke from the Expanded Universe was very different than the Luke we will see in Star Wars Episode 9, or that we saw in the Last Jedi. Keep that in mind.

Luke: "I'd never let you fall."
Inner Luke: I mean, you could possibly survive that, and *I need to make sure you're dead this time.*

[wilsthelimit]

There’s a quote from Doctor Who that goes with this quite well
“When a good man goes to war”

[Camuska]

"I'd never let you fall"
One of my favourite quote in Star Wars. It was chilling to see Luke in that state of hatred.

[vitorkennedy]

Gentlemen the one and only grandmaster of the new jedi order Luke Skywalker in all his glorious rage.

[timbartschwolfman]

Luke and Mara Jade were a Badass Jedi Couple

[Tracer_Krieg]

And they say Legends Luke isn't interesting. This is how you break Luke's no-murder rule.

Dooku sums up my thoughts on Lumiya.
"A failed apprentice makes for a foolish master."

[DoomFan]

Mara's death was probably the most heartbreaking moment for me in Legends. Second to that is Siri Tachi's death. Legends had some amazing characters that will sadly never see the light again.

"Oaths matter, Luke. They're all you're left with in the end" Lumiya

Important note:Lumiya sacrificed herself by taking responsibility for Mara's death, so as to buy Jacen time.

Also Luke didn't act out of Justice, this action was most definitely vengeance. That's why he didn't confront Jacen directly, as he felt this had "tainted" him.

EU: "Luke refuses to kill most anyone, even his most hated enemy. And when he did he was entirely justified"


Disney: "Let's have him try kill his nephew in his sleep"

[Umbra_Okkotsu]

Luke took pure revenge that was completely justified and still retained his light as a jedi. Bringing confirmation that you can be a true Jedi and still have emotions without being "Gray" or turning to the dark.

[RichardHunslet]

And people say Luke didn't have any character arc in Legends. smh.

Roses are red
Life is full of strife
This is how
Luke brutally avenged his wife

[emeraldcitygaming]

I would have preferred Jacen solo in the new movies over Kylo

[Integer_Overload]

You should cover the fight between Mara and Jacen. It's a really interesting duel, in my opinion.

[LegendSkull]

Finally the real Luke is being talked about again...

[radiumuppet]

Luke: Brutally avenges his wife
Disney: now that is not child friendly
Also disney from Toy Story: YOU UNCULTURED SWINE

[kyleganse]

I would have preferred a story along these lines. Luke losing his wife and overcoming his anger/dark sides pull unlike his father.

[dragonkinghecht]

One of my favorite scenes is Jacen showing up to the funeral of Mara Jade and Luke being the one that allows him to stay. One of the saddest and most powerful scenes in my mind as Luke just could not fathom that Jacen could ever kill Mara. While everyone else there, were pretty certain that Jacen had killed her.

*In short words:* Mess with a Skywalker's family and they'll make sure that you never be able to see the sunlight again.

*EDIT:* Gonna add another comment. This event act as parallel with Anakin. Upon the death of his mother, he went of killing spree and destroyed an entire group of sandriders. He was manipulated of his fear about Padme's death and brough towards the Dark Side by a Sith Lord, Darth Sidious. *Sounds familiar?* Dead wife or lost a family member. Sith Lord manipulates a young jedi towards the Dark Side. Revenge against the dead of loved one. The Skywalker get revenge.
