Only saw one other person mention it but in the EU/Legends they find Luke’s hand and use it to make an evil clone of Luke that’s named… Luuke. So this could’ve been a legit story with a meme headline lol.
Fanboys like to talk about the extended universe like it was amazing. For every one good thing in it, there were a dozen turds including a Jedi R2 unit with force powers. I’m glad Disney killed it, and just like I figured, they’re taking the good bits and characters and adding them in anyways
Thrawn wasn’t in the sequels at all tho, he only showed up in Rebels (which was definitely not taken seriously by Disney at all) and then after it was obvious ppl loved him they added him to more shows
Do you mean Skippy the Jedi Droid? I think that was mostly a joke about R5-D4 from New Hope crapping out and forcing the Skywalkers to buy R2 instead (thereby leading to the end of the Sith). It’s pretty tongue in cheek, he’s called Skippy
Not enough upvotes on this post. EU was a sea of toxic filth with alarmingly small amount of competently written and good material in it, which once recognized as good had every other half rate writer trying to pin their next bad idea on it.

I remember running across a D6 dice rolling table for generating the plot of the next Kevin J. Anderson book when I was looking for West End Games SW tabletop supplemental (or fan-created) stuff on Geocities.
If the table had been juuuust a little more generic for things like “qualities possessed by big bad”, “motivations of antagonist”, “reason for melodramatic interlude”, and “type of mcguffin” it probably could have actually been used to generate future books.
Owing partially to LucasArts restrictions, a LOT of the EU was pretty derivative/formulaic but most of us didn’t care because it was MORE STAR WARS in an era that hadn’t seen any for 15+ years.
If adding u make it evil does adding e make it good? So if we take luuke hand and make a good clone with it and name it luukee does it just becomes a regular luke because it has the same length of u and e?
Torn between two sides…becoming evilerer than before but there is still good in him. I mean, gooder than the original good in him. So he would need a u and an e to compensate for this evilerer and gooder on top of all that. Luuukee. Maybe? I sense a clone squad. But just of hands.

Wow is that stupid.

The problem is they killed it and are taking the worst parts to make the sequels, etc.
I thought people liked thrawn, personally I never got the appeal

The magnificent?
I only read a couple of books, but I would have preferred the Sun Crusher over Starkiller Base in TFA

And suddenly, completely unbidden, the name “Joruus C’Baoth” springs into my head.
A quick look at wookieepedia shows me that he’s the dude who created the clone.
I’m actually kinda shocked that I remember that from a single reading of the thrawn trilogy back in the 90’s.

That’s who Aunt Beru was looking for at the start of ANH.

And, always lurking in the shadows is the sith Lord Luuuuke.
Now I wonder if this is where Miike Snow came from.
