But Grand Admiral Thrawn, the warlord that has. Leia and Han already got married, and Luke Skywalker is now looking to start a new Jedi Order with him as the one leading the charge for the new-generation Jedi Knights. Equally important is Mara Jade’s killing of Luuke, which allows her to follow Emperor Palpatine’s Force-induced suggestion to kill Luke Skywalker without her actually killing him, completing her redemption arc in the Star Wars Legends continuity. Heir to the Empire takes place on 9 ABY, five years after the fall of the Empire in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. He lacks free will and is a disturbing doppelgänger to the more experienced Luke. Luuke represents Joruus C’baoth’s obsession with finding an apprentice and his disregard for the autonomy of others. Luuke Skywalker is often dismissed as one of the goofier elements of the Star Wars Legends continuity due to his out-of-left-field introduction and the two U’s in his name, but he is a thematically relevant element of the Thrawn Trilogy. C’baoth used Luuke Skywalker as a pawn to fight the real Luke, either killing the latter or making him succumb to the dark side. Luuke has no thoughts or will of his own and simply follows the direction of Joruus C’baoth, using offensive lightsaber strikes and Force abilities that he learned from his creator (and possibly strengthened through telepathy).
C’baoth created Luuke using a Spaarti cloning cylinder (a quicker, yet far less efficient form of cloning than Kaminoan technology), growing Luuke within a month. The Thrawn Trilogy’s final, climactic, lightsaber duel is not fought between Luke Skywalker and Joruus C’baoth, but rather between Luke and the latter’s bodyguard, Luuke Skywalker.
