Clones have always been a huge part ofStar Warscanon , from the Clone Wars creating Jango Fett double to Expanded Universe variations where even Force drug user could be clone – like one of the main protagonists of the serial , Luke Skywalker . While the clones of the Clone Wars were regard with immense praise from fans , most were not hunky-dory with Jedi or Sith being cloned , specially not the idolic Luke . However , in light of recent developments within theStar Warsuniverse , the serial actually should follow through on Luke ’s clone as the possibility of one ’s world has been to a great extent teased – though if that were to happen , Star Warswould have to change the clone ’s name as the originalLegendsversion was downright awkward .
The original knockoff of Luke Skywalker made his first show in theStar state of war : Legendsnovel series known asThe Thrawn Trilogy . In these books – which move as sequel to the original trilogy – the insane clone of another Jedi , Joruus C’baoth , used the genetic material of Luke ’s sever hand ( the one make out off by Darth Vader inEpisode V ) and create an evil clon of the Jedi . By the goal of the trilogy , Luke even battled his clone in lightsaber combat , proving the clone ’s posture as it matched that of the pilot . While the idea ofLuke having an evil clonewho was just as strong as him is an interesting direction for the case as it mirror his recent battle against his father as well as his internal battle with Dark Side influence , there was just one problem that totally ruined the intact experience : the name of Luke Skywalker ’s clone , was Luuke .

InStar Wars : Darth Vader#11 by Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco , Darth Vader is launchinga full rape against the Emperor on Exegol . When he entered Palpatine ’s den , Darth Vader find himself in a giant chamber filled with man - sized vats hold what appeared to be failed and/or growing clon , some of whom shout out in sheer agony . Among them , Vader also noticed a clear container which held Luke ’s severed paw , all while the Emperor ominously said that he uses bother as a mean value of creation , and he can use it to create , “ anything ” .
Star Wars Has a Chance to Get Luke’s Clone Right
Star Warsfans know Palpatine is able of creating Force - tender liveliness which was made clear withSnoke in the sequel trilogy – so what is break off him from creating a ringer of Luke Skywalker from his severed hand ? The precise same affair happened withinLegendscanon and this would n’t be the first time the main continuity borrowed sure facet fromLegendsand made them work within the establish universe . Plus , if Palpatine does ( or did ) create a Luke Skywalker clone , the serial could make him more in - line with Snoke rather than having him be a carbon transcript of Luke . One aspect of Snoke that was straightaway obvious was his disfigurement as a result of his introduction . If Luke ’s clone suffer the same fate , cosmetically speak , then he could be suited up with a classicStar Warsvillain masque , making him even more redolent of Vader – and of what Luke could have become if he follow his father to the Dark Side .
Not only would an unrecognisable Luke clone look nerveless and lessen in - melodic phrase with Palpatine ’s weak method acting of creating life , but it would grant another doer to fill the part of Luke ’s clone if this character were adapted into the alive actionStar Warscanon – most notably inthe era ofThe Mandalorian – rather than fall back to de - ageing technology . Luke Skywalker ’s potentially canonical ringer has already been teased in the official comics , has been proven to be potential in Legends , and fits thematically within the currentStar Warsera set by the most popular show – the only matter that needs to convert is the name , because if everyone is really reliable with themselves , they will know that ‘ Luuke ’ is objectively terrible .
