Chewbacca's Death Proves Legends Understood Luke Better Than Fans Think
The Star Wars franchise has two continuities, each with a degree of overlapping characters and stories, but the Legends continuity proves that it understands Luke Skywalker perfectly following the tragic death of Chewbacca. As part of the original Star Wars trilogy’s ensemble of protagonists, Luke is one of the franchise’s most important characters, though canon and Legends each have different interpretations of the iconic Jedi hero outside of his original trilogy appearances. While a case can be made for the merits of both iterations, the Luke Skywalker of the Legends continuity is more closely aligned with his characterization in the original films.
