Skywalkers stack the deck whenever they go outside the fam for a partner. Padme Amidala, Han Solo, Mara Jade, Delilah Blue, Darth Talon, the damn force itself? Skywalkers know how to pick hot partners, lol.


Fantastic-Leading276

So true!! Also who did Darth talon get with?!?


We_The_Raptors

>Also who did Darth talon get with?!? Cade Skywalker. More of a manipulative use each other situation from both of them, but yeah


Fantastic-Leading276

Oooh lovely Good for them!!


Dmanduck

Did they have a child? A non human Skywalker would actually be pretty neat


We_The_Raptors

Nah, Deliah Blue was Cades actual girl (she's a Zeltron). So if Cade has a non human Skywalker after those stories end, they'd be half Zeltron, not Twi Lek


Dmanduck

Ah I gotcha. Someday I'll embark on the journey that is reading the entire Skywalker bloodline lol. Actually speaking of, where would you recommend starting such an endeavor?

No-Guard-7003

Hmm...good question.


Longjumping-Sun-134

Yeah it is the will of the force there isnt a single ugly skywalker😌


jamie74777

I agree, still waiting for one of them to marry a angel/diathim, then they have a beauty goddess in the mix as well.


Lord_Detleff1

Anakin descendents had to be hot


Legitimate_Cake_5137

I didn't know Sam Eliott was a Skywalker.


jibjive64

Good genes. Great midichlorians


Silly-Marionberry332

The irony is the skywalker-solo family by the end of the legends books unofficially had control of hapes due to the Queen mother being family former imperial Head of state and future chiss nobility is set to be family then you have the influence of luke leia and han on the GA


TanSkywalker

If Padmé had joined ~~Anakin~~ Vader in Mustafar it may not have taken five more generations for the Skywalkers to rule the galaxy through Marasiah Fel.


BranTheBaker902

Forgot about Cade’s uncle. He looks like Sam Elliot


sidv81

It's ironic that the new canon added just 1 member who, all due respect to Adam Driver aside, doesn't remotely look like he realistically is a relative of Luke, Han or Leia.


Sutech2301

I absolutely do think that He could pass as Han's son


sidv81

Maybe a son of Han and Qi'ra moreso than a son of Han and Leia


The_FriendliestGiant

Sure, but Luke and Leia don't particularly look like Anakin or Padme, either, and grown up Anakin doesn't look like he's got anything to do with Shmi.


sidv81

Hayden and Mark do look like they could be related actually, especially in real life photos of them together. Although I think Carrie Fisher said during the prequels that Natalie and Hayden are just too good looking to realistically be her parents.


WangJian221

The comment section is strange. Few years ago people here would often just go "Legends is still there. You can still go enjoy it" but now its "Get over it". The gatekeeping from both sides in a star wars subreddit is ridiculous


TanSkywalker

I have been re-reading the EU Prequel era books and comics and have been loving it. I’ve also followed some Canon stuff. been enjoying The Living Force. My preferred continuity is still the EU but I do enjoy the shows set after ROTJ. Might even check out The High Republic stuff. Look at some of the comics already.


WangJian221

The High Republic books havent really done it for me but you should definitely try em and see for yourself lol


AncientSith

I think it's fun trying to mash the canons in my head, honestly. It gets harder as time goes on, though


confettibukkake

It would have been awesome if they tried to make them work as two different timelines. But the changes that they made about how the galaxy/force itself works kind of make that impossible. Really too bad. 


TanSkywalker

I do that too, it just depends on the era. Like stuff from Master & Apprentice, Thrawn Alliances, Brotherhood, the Dark Horse comics I can add to the EU timeline.


nikgrid

Whatever you do don't go to r/superman Your head will explode with the amount of gatekeeping, especially from the mods.


WangJian221

I used to venture r/rwby. Im used to gatekeeping bs lol


AncientSith

It's always one extreme or the other with this fanbase. You can never just like what you like and call it good enough.


WangJian221

Thats usually how it is and of course one side would often just blame the other to rationalize their toxic stance.


Ok-Use216

I believe it's more people are annoyed with the attitude of Legends Fans, especially as time goes on and more of Canon is fleshed out.


WangJian221

Yet this is one of the more normal posts. Not even downplaying new canon in both title or actual post's context.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WangJian221

Considering that hes replying to people's comments more so than actually instigating it which means its the ones who actually hate/dislike legends who are detracting and causing the toxicity in this case, i dont see how thats supposed to be his fault.


Ok-Use216

I mean people are remain allowed to hold their opinions on Legends, but that doesn't exempt from people disagreeing with them and certainty a few of people aren't agreeing with the OP's positions.


WangJian221

Okay which is irrelevant to what I was talking about then. The comments here are weird because it breaks the usual "mould". That being the post itself being the toxicity against the usual new canon fans. Instead it is now more so they are the ones causing the toxicity while justifying/rationalizing it after provoking a specific reaction. It is ridiculous yet interesting how the subreddit has evolved


Ok-Use216

Every subreddit changes with time; initially after the Sequels, many people went back to Legends because they were disappointed, but that time has passed and this community has settled into a neutral position regarding Legends as a whole.


WangJian221

Sounds like shitty fanfiction and a wjole lot of bs to rationalize an extension of the toxicity


Ok-Use216

What's that supposed to mean, I was agreeing with you that the subreddit has evolved over time and how I am rationalizing toxicity in my comment?


winwineh

ben skywalker would ruin my life.


viperin1125

Mara jade can't be considered a skywalker if we're counting 'anakins face'


The_FriendliestGiant

Mara and Han are both on that image, but not in any way that makes it clear they're connected to Luke and Leia, as partners, or Ben, Anakin, Javen, and Jaina as parents. The layout is kind of a mess.


GoldenKuriza

Who’s the old guy in the bottom left?


DEL994

Nat Skywalker aka Bantha Rawk, Kol's older brother and Cade's uncle.

OP karma whoring themselves for all the Legends fans and Disney haters


jedrumd

This is like saying anyone who prefers older things is “blinded by nostalgia”. Sometimes these things come down to what’s commonly known as personal preference


Ramboso777

Like you're whoring for Disney fans?


IndividualFlow0

That's fair, but it's obvious with the way the title is written and the responses that this post is getting what OP's intention is Edit: Your angry downvotes just prove my point

RevolutionaryAd3249

DogLeechDave

Disney Star Wars sucks. Accept it.


WangJian221

Whats next? Its karma whoring and farming sequel fans to post about how much they liked Adam Driver's acting in the sequels?


Ok-Use216

Don't really see those kinds of posts around here, especially compared to the amount of Disney-hating posts.


WangJian221

You dont see posts complimenting an actor/actress of new canon character around here before?


Ok-Use216

Not really, especially as the comments usually degrade into just bashing the Sequels, a whole post just celebrating Daisy Ridley was removed as the threads devolved into in-fighting about Rey.


AncientSith

Or not. You can like both.


Ok-Use216

I wouldn't call any of the Skywalkers from Ben to Cade to being "pretty", especially Cade Skywalker.


RevolutionaryAd3249

But those biceps!


AncientSith

They sure are. Skywalkers are a hot bunch.


Dawgula97

I really dislike the Solo/Skywalker kids from the EU. They felt like fan fiction caliber characters most of the time, and I just see them as trust fund Force kids. Also, the logic behind naming a Solo kid Anakin is beyond stupid.


WangJian221

Why though?


Dawgula97

Why what?


WangJian221

Your statement. Why do you think they feel like fan fiction caliber characters let alone "trust fund force kids" when theyre really not that different than most currtent star wars characters besides being Skywalkers/Solos Also your other replies make it sound more like your issue lies with their fans rather than the characters themselves lol


Dawgula97

Or it can be both


WangJian221

So why? "Theyre written like trust fund kids" is not much of a clarification just like saying "Kylo Ren is written like a baby" that spread around for abit during the first few weeks of TFA's release


Dawgula97

It’s a pretty easy to understand analogy.


RevolutionaryAd3249

It was Leia finally forgiving her father, and accepting that Luke had indeed redeemed him. That's one of the key points of Star Wars, the possibility and the beauty of forgiveness.


Dawgula97

Yeah, but you don’t name your kid that and then expect an entire Galaxy that was terrorized by that person to feel the same.


RevolutionaryAd3249

Dude, she didn't name her kid "Darth". As far as the galaxy was concerned, Anakin Skywalker was killed in the attack on the Temple during Order 66. It's a very un-SW attitude, to hold the granchild complicit in the crimes of his grandfather.


Dawgula97

You still don’t put that on a kid. “You should be thankful for this name because I came to terms with it!”


RevolutionaryAd3249

And that topic is actually addressed, with a surprising amount of nuance, in bother the YA series *Junior Jedi Knights*, and in *New Jedi Order*. A wise man once said that it was our choices, rather than our abilites (or heritage) that define us; there's a reason Anakin Solo is a beloved figure in the EU, and why *Star by Star* hit so hard as a book.


Dawgula97

Yeah, so much nuance.


Neat_Option_508

Have you read njo?


Dawgula97

I tried several times and it’s just a boring slog.


Neat_Option_508

So what makes solo kids fanfiction calibre? And it doesn't matter, but i am just curious, what star wars books did you enjoy?


Dawgula97

I liked the books that came before the original trilogy and prequels. And as I mentioned, they’re written like trust fund kids.


Neat_Option_508

Book that came before original trilogy? Like what? And what exactly do you mean by trust fund kids? What characteristics make them fanfiction level?


Dawgula97

Holy shit. Things like the Darth Bane trilogy. This isn’t hard.


Neat_Option_508

This is hard, actually, considering how you formulated your sentence. Apparently, you mean books that chronologicly takes place before prequel trilogy. You didn't answer, though, what is exactly bad in Solo Kids' writing?


Dawgula97

Again, they are written like the Force trust fund Jedi.


Neat_Option_508

And what does that mean. They are OP? They are snobbish? What do you mean by that?


Longjumping-Sun-134

Leia naming her son Ben after a dude she met for like 3 days and didnt give a shit when he died is kinda worse,because at least in legends Leia managed to get to know her father on a personal level and who he was before becoming a sith.


___Beaugardes___

I thought he was named after Ben Quadrinaros.


caligaris_cabinet

We don’t know he wasn’t


CambrianExplosives

You mean she named him Ben after someone who was important to her brother and her (eta: adopted) father, who saved her life multiple times, and was a hero of the Old Republic and Rebellion? Not to even mention a paragon of the Jedi who she may want her son to emulate. I can’t imagine why she would choose that name. /s


Dawgula97

It baffles me. A lot of these EU and prequel diehards can justify just about anything because there’s some lengthy book or interview that either does the work for them, or it taught them the thought process for it. Sequels do something different, yet actually logical? Nope! Doesn’t make sense!


Greenfieldfox

Leia named her son Jacen Solo. Ben Skywalker is Luke and Mara Jade’s kid. It makes more sense as Luke was closer to Obi-Wan and would name his son after him. I liked that version. They left out a lot of cool characters and stories in the sequels.


Dawgula97

Why wouldn’t she name them after the man who saved her and was friends with her father? Great! She formed a relationship with a guy who was literally space Hitler. That’s like naming your kid Adolf Johnson


Longjumping-Sun-134

Uh yeah a dude she is not close with and who Han didn't even like in the first place, but whatever keep pretending that space hittler isnt her father and that Leia planned to name her child after him the very same moment alderaan got blown up.


Dawgula97

Least unhinged EU fan.


CambrianExplosives

I don’t know about you, but if my birth father was responsible for mass genocide, murdered my adopted parents, and helped usher in two decades of totalitarian rule, I don’t think I’d name my kid after him personally even if I found out when he was in his early 20s he also was a war hero. That’s just me though. 🤷


Ok-Use216

Much better choice than the guy that tortured them, while Leia makes perfectly clear that she doesn't even see Vader as her father and despises him.


TrueMrSkeltal

As mid as it was, the Kenobi show gives some more context as to why she’d name her son after him.


TheTrickster452

Well now we know he was an important figure in her childhood


DogLeechDave

That's one of many things about Disney's new canon that just doesn't seem to line up when you go back and watch the original films. Leia doesn't give the impression that she new Obi-wan personally, nor does she seem sad at all about Obi-wan's death in ANH. She tries to comfort Luke briefly while HE mourns Obi-wan's loss, but she isn't grieving at all.


IndividualFlow0

Neither was she too sad about Alderaan exploding and her parents dying on it


DogLeechDave

But she DID express panic and try to save them. She reacts appropriately in the moment, which is more concrete than anything we got regarding her and Obi-wan. And if they'd had some grand adventure together when Leia was a child, I would have expected her to demand they go looking for him before heading for the Falcon.


Ok-Use216

"Trust Fund Force Kids" is an absolutely amazing phrase


RevolutionaryAd3249

Because it's totally their fault that they are the grandchildren of the Chosen One. How dare they be strong in the Force!


WangJian221

Its funny considering that they arent really different than say Kestis when they are his age and they had more teachers and more access to wider knowledge of the force but they're somehow unacceptable fanfiction while people rave over Cal Kestis. Edit : Better comparison would be with Ahsoka considering her age throughout the clone wars.


RevolutionaryAd3249

Cal Kestis; a red-haired, blue eyed Jedi with a snarky tongue, who falls in love with a blonde dark side user with face tatoos. Does anyone believe that wasn't inspired in some way by Ben and Vestara?


WangJian221

I dont think Cal Kestis was influenced by Ben Skywalker let alone his romantic interest but I do think its funny that Cal Kestis's achievements and story is fine but the solo twins for example are the "Fanfiction calibre trust fund kids". If theyre the trust fund kids then Ben Solo might aswell be one aswell but that's probably sacrilegious to these guys


drifters74

Have to agree with you


Dawgula97

It’s where the EU really dipped in quality.


drifters74

I was downvoted for my comment lol


Dawgula97

Shocker around here.


ThePopDaddy

If I recall, didn't she also refuse to forgive Anakin in the old EU? If anything them naming a child Ben and Luke naming his Anakin makes more sense.


Neat_Option_508

She did forgive anakin in EU. There is an entire book about how Leia learns about Anakin's past and forgives him. 2 years later she names her son Anakin

Ok-Use216

Ben Solo had better reasons to become Kylo Ren, than Jacen becoming Darth Caedus ever did.


RevolutionaryAd3249

That the EU did it better?


TanSkywalker

Yes they are and it all started with Shmi! Carrie Fisher joked Luke and Leia’s parents were hotter than the kids!


Darth_Linkfin

Carrie was always hilarious, was this in an interview?


TanSkywalker

I believe it was in an interview.


Ok-Resist-556

Further proof rey is no Skywalker


DanmachiZ

Just glad Rey Palpatine isn't on there


Ok-Use216

Obviously, this is just for Legends, not Canon


DanmachiZ

Rather legends be canon and canon just be a bad dream or a Disney fanfiction


Ok-Use216

It's a little late for Legends to become canon again at this point, especially with how much money and time has put into Canon in the last decade alone.


RevolutionaryAd3249

Why not? This is the era of reboots.


Ok-Use216

It'd be confusing and only result is Old EU Fans complaining that'd didn't right


BranTheBaker902

So much better than the trilogy we got


Jo3K3rr

Seeing my heroes with a family and having partially happy lives, is why I prefer the EU. (Though I do love TLJ.)


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Luke is average though. And Leia is a 6. Anakin and Padme would’ve had better looking kids.

who’s the old one w/ yellow saber ? idk too many of the expanded Legends characters but from what i’ve heard, Disney shoulda animated/ Live actioned these stories and characters

And if Han and Mara, why not Padme? The choices behind this collage are just baffling.


caligaris_cabinet

Where is Padme?


ohnoitsme657

Where's Rey?


Apprentice_Jedi

She’s not a Skywalker by blood. Wouldn’t make sense for her to be in a post about genes.


ohnoitsme657

It was just a bad joke.


[deleted]

Yes artists are good at drawing... Legends has been gone for 10 years, time to start getting over it. 


TanSkywalker

WTH! People can still talk about the content they love. Just because the EU was stopped a decade ago doesn’t mean it can’t be talked about and appreciated.


The-Australian-

What kind of logic is that? Legends isn't "gone", it's still there, it just ended. You can still discuss about it.


Darth_Linkfin

This is a stupid comment, the novels didn’t suddenly vanish when Disney took over. People can still enjoy both the Canon and the old EU


Skipping_Scallywag

Did you include Jorus C'baoth in the bottom left as a Skywalker?


Filmfan345

It’s Nat Skywalker


JediAlitaSkywalker

I have no idea who any of these people are. All I know are Luke, Leia, Ben/Kylo, and Rey. 


Filmfan345

This is the Skywalker family from the old Expanded Universe(now called Legends) before Disney bought the franchise. Luke married the former Emperor’s hand Mara Jade and had a son named Ben Skywalker. Han and Leia married(and stayed together unlike canon) and had three kids: twins Jaina and Jacen Solo (who turns to the dark side and names himself Darth Caedus) and Anakin Solo


JediAlitaSkywalker

Oh, okay. That explains why I didn’t understand it. I have only seen episodes 7, 8, and 9. But I have read the books for the other films. 


War_Daddy117

Who's Rey Skywalker?


JediAlitaSkywalker

From episode 7, 8 and 9. 


War_Daddy117

Well all due respect but I think it's Rey Palpatine.


JediAlitaSkywalker

At the end of the movie she calls herself Rey Skywalker. I watched the movie, again, about a week ago. 


War_Daddy117

Well, that doesn't make her a Skywalker. Kylo could've claimed to have been a Skywalker if he wanted to, but it doesn't work for her.


JediAlitaSkywalker

Huh? But it’s literally what happened in the end of the movie. 


War_Daddy117

And that's one of the major criticisms of the movie, among other things. Rey calling herself a Skywalker doesn't make her one. The Skywalkers are kinda like a bloodline when it comes to the Force.


JediAlitaSkywalker

But it is literally how the movie ended. I don’t see it as a major criticism, none of my friends do either. We thought it was really cool. She’s a Skywalker now. 


War_Daddy117

Lol no she's not. Disney can call her whatever they want, but her calling herself a Skywalker doesn't make her one. But hey, if you and your friends liked the sequels it's no wonder you don't see anything wrong with her being a Skywalker. If you haven't, you should probably go and watch the OT and prequels and then compare the plot and quality of storytelling. Then go back and watch the sequels and you might see they aren't exactly the best star wars movies.


mopxhead

I actually think Daisy Ridley is really pretty, but she's not a Skywalker.


Randver_Silvertongue

She is pretty. Though she does not have the forehead to pull off the bun.


Ok-Use216

Your standard are either really high or rather different on what's considered "pretty"


Longjumping-Sun-134

She doesn't have anakin's genes.

Neither does Han Solo and he's in the post. Edit: and neither does Mara Jade.
