considering he was making up a lot of it as he went it's no surprise he ran into so many snags, in fact he did pretty well all things considered.

[RogueFox]

This is the Jedi Order that we needed in the sequels along with a Republic that was capable if not more than the Old Republic, A order that learned from the mistakes of the Previous Order and founds ways to not fall into old habits.

[dianabarnett]

It was a leaner, meaner Jedi Order that was forged out of trial and error in a time of war, less dogmatic and more pragmatic. Less stuck in its ways and more flexible and willing to experiment. And most important of all: it didn't view human connection as something to be shunned.

[kenhernandez]

Luke's NJO right after the Vong war is unbeatable. Loaded with top Jedi.

[arx]

And let's not forget that the NJO totally abandoned the old "no blasters" rule. They finally understood the advantages of ranged weapons.

[spadesofpaintstudios]

The way Luke designed his order is pretty much the perfect idea only problem being it’s still starwars so stuff happens. But in essence Luke really did improve the jedi and protected it from old jedi mistakes before they even occurred.

[grandadmiralzaarin]

Luke definitely improved on what came before. The NJO had far more flexibility and adaptability than the old Jedi Order, which also took a lot of pressure off of the Jedi initiates since they didn't have to choose to sacrifice their lives outside of being a Jedi to become one.

Luke Skywalker : "Remember kids Voxyn Hunting builds character."

[cosmickeyboard]

I loved Luke's era from the jedi academy game, Disney should have never retconed all that rich lore, they should have just followed the books and games and then make a few major and minor changes but overall stay true to the EU.

[macwelch]

I wish we could’ve seen more of this Jedi Order in the Sequel Trilogy

[BODLive]

I would join Luke's Legends Jedi Order in a instant.
He knows that emotions and attachments shouldn't be feared or shunned.
With the proper training they can be part of everyday life for a jedi.
This to me was the biggest flaw of the Old Republic Order. Making Jedi cut themselves off from family and friends just seemed foolish and cold.

[bladerunner]

One thing I really love about Legends is indeed Luke's new Jedi Order. Not only is it loaded with interesting characters like Corran Horn, Tionne, Tahiri Veila, Kyp Durron etc., but the fact that they are allowed to have families and lives outside of the Jedi Order makes them so much more relatable. With Corran in the NJO it even seems to have helped him as a Jedi to have a wife and kids to care about. He isn't the hot headed fly boy of the X-wing books anymore. Being a family man apparently has made him more responsible and thus a better Jedi.

[UNSCrearadmiral]

I really likes the fact that Luke didn't discourage the Jedi from having feelings, I always felt he encouraged his order to have feeling and use them, but to temper them with patience

[survivor]

One unspoken factor is that Luke setup the Jedi Temple on Yavin 4 - in a way it enabled Luke to keep the Order relatively independant from the politics of galactic government and enabled the Jedi to develop in a relatively less claustrophobic environment

[andrewstarlighter]

imagine if they hadn’t flushed Luke’s New Jedi Order and the New Republic down the toilet, imagine a Harry Potter’s HOGWARTS BUT IN SPACE Jedi Academy film series with an epic war between the New Republic and the Empire as the backdrop

[garrettgarner]

Legends Luke: “I shall rebuild the Jedi order and make it more powerful than the old one. Also Jedi can carry blasters and get married.”

Disney canon Luke: “ I’m sad and the Jedi should die. *drinks blue milk* “

[dennismerced]

I would love to see luke debate a prequel era jedi on how to properly teach someone about the force.

It would make for an interesting battle of ideals.

[doug-core]

The way they wrote his post rotj order is why alot of people prefer that era over everything.
It's exciting to see what they choose to do in canon moving forward.

[Ulquiorra]

Luke did things right, correcting and learning from the past, both the good and bad. Hell, letting Jedi fall in love and marry was important cause if Jolee's advice to Revan about love, that "love will itself will save you, not condemn you", got to Anakin it might have kept him from bottling things up and it all leading to his fall.

[gibbs]

Luke's new Jedi order in the legends EU timeline was so much better than the old Jedi order in canon was for sure. I know Qui-Gon Jinn definitely would've liked it and been so proud of it too. This is what we should've gotten for the sequel trilogy!
