Luke Skywalker needs a SON

I would tend to agree, but I think TPTB are adhering to George Lucas' idea that Luke Skywalker would be celibate and thus childless. Unless the ST changes that idea I think we'll just have to accept it. The Skywalker line, if it lives on past the next generation, will do so under the Solo name.

 

That would be terrible. The Jedi order of old is gone and if Luke is doing exactly the same as the order who failed it makes no sense at all.
No thanks to only have Solo's in the future.

 

He may already have.........

 

What? Obi-Wan and Sabine only harboured feelings for each other, they never indulged in any sexual intercourse. Obi-Wan was a devout follower of the Jedi Order.

Lucas said that he went back to his early notes when writing his sequel trilogy outline and rough drafts. In a 1980s interview with Mark Hamill on the future of the Star Wars films, Hamill hinted that Luke may have had a child. Pablo Hidalgo says Lucas created the first iteration of the character that would later become Rey, and Lucas always wanted to do a female-centred Star Wars story. This says to me that Rey is Luke's daughter and since Jedi cannot marry, technically any offspring could adopt either of the parents' surnames.

Who says Luke can't have children and not raise them as offspring but as a pupil instead? This way the Skywalker line is also preserved and the emotional neutrality is still maintained.

 

When was her last name announced? Maybe Luke has a grandson and his own son was killed. ?

 

He needs to man up. how do you go from a no f's given attitude in RoTJ/PT to i failed leave me alone on ahch-to...

Mod edit - Language

 

Nuke Skywalker is not real!

 

lol year sounds like bad fan fiction to me .

 

Yeah I tend to agree with you man, to a point.... But I honestly believe Rey will turn out to be Luke's daughter.
I think if we looks over the various epic female Jedi like Satele, Ahshoka, Aayla, Luminara and Shaak Ti etc, etc, followed with the power house of Leia and important role Padme. There is a lot of room for a break out female lead in the main movies, with the Skywalker name and Skywalker badassery!!

I think it would be cool. Just me though

 

I really hope you are right.

 

in Germany there are no strict naming rules anymore and with marriage the wife can take the last name of the man, she can keep her name, or the man takes the last name of the woman.

 

In one. Skywalker was Anakin's mother's surname as he had no father, or however he came about. There's nothing to say that a woman can't give her children her surname. I don't think Rey is a Skywalker, but if she is there would be nothing to stop her children being called Skywalker - especially if she had them with Finn because he doesn't have a surname

Also, Luke only really needs heirs if they are going to continue the Skywalker saga.

 

For me the name Skywalker is very important and not that much the bloodline. KK mentioned the saga is still the Skywalker family story....but yeah a Solo-Sky would fit that statement as well. But the name would be gone and also the chance to see Luke as the father of a child.

 

I don't understand why again and again it has to be mentioned that Kylo is a Skywalker by bloodline. Noone denied it, but people should not forget, he is also a Solo by bloodline and by name, which should be equally important. I simply see him more as a Solo than a Skywalker, the same as Snoke also first adressed him when he mentioned his father and not his grandfather.

 

There's one slight issue with this train of thought. Lucas also told the story group that Luke would never marry. This was a significant departure from what he was thinking in the 80s. This also means that Anakin's grandchildren would come from Leia and not Luke.

That aside, it seems the story-group took the inspiration for Rey for Lucas and very little else so there you go.

As for the topic... Luke should have a son?

Sorry, I'm not interested in watching the Skywalker force monarchy. If that's what this series becomes then Anakin killed the SIth and Jedi Order. At that point Luke is simply a force user who is on the light side but he doesn't follow Jedi practices.

He's a member oft he Skywalker family. The splitting hairs about Solo/Skywalker thing is silly. I never looked at my non-surname grandparents less than my surname grandparents.
