It’s not.
In heir to the empire clones had a verbal tick causing them to mispronounce their own name, designed to ensure they couldn’t replace the originals.
It was ultimately a silly idea and it lead to Luuuke being written to mock it.
I'm not talking about the gay in-universe reasoning, I mean the inspiration for the thing to begin with. Someone someday watched the movie with subs and went "Heh, Luuke", big if true.
It just reads better in prose than constantly writing 'said the clone', 'said the clone of Luke' or 'said Luke's clone'. I hope you guys don't actually think his name was Luuke in universe.
reddit sequelgays >OLD EU BAD BECAUSE LUKE CLONES
Also reddit sequelgays >OMG PALPATINE CLONES SO COOL AND EPIC GIVE ME MORE SLOP DISNEY
Honestly sequelgays are worse than old EU fans, at least there was some good EU shit like KOTOR or the bane books. Plus not to mention some random shitty comic or book being bad isn’t nearly as egregious as the main trilogy films being terrible. I just don’t get how sequelgays can unironically make fun of the old eu while consoomong slop from Disney
Anon, I know you're like 14 but before Disney bought Star Wars the EU was widely ridiculed on the internet as moronic fanfiction, including on Cinemaphile.
Most of that criticism came from people that never bothered to read it though.
Take Luuuke, as a prime example; he was literally a joke character. He was written because his author wanted to poke fun at himself for not realising how silly the clone verbal tick was.
Likewise Skippy was a piss take of vital characters being shoved in and then never mentioned again, yet it was held up as prime EU shit writing.
People who actually knew about it and want to mock the EU would generally point to the tail end of NJO, Traviss and Denning in particular
>tail end of NJO
Sounds like you were about to slander my wife there haha. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it bud so no worries. But watch yourself. Haha just kidding man.
Ya it was a mess, but an easily ignorable one. Just don’t read the shitty comic and books or play the bad games. There were different levels of canon and nothing was on the same level as the movies anyway so who cares if some lower level canon sucked, it wasn’t real canon anyway. But the sequel movies are on the same level as the OT so then being bad is way more insulting. The old eu was fun, it was either good and enjoyable or stupid and terrible but fun to laugh at. The ST is just insulting.
Yeah because no one actually gave a shit lol. To hear people talk about it now it sounds like this huge intricate well planned thing but in reality lucas gave the rights away like free candy and did not care about it and so you'd have 2 dozen different stories happening at the same part of the timeline conflicting each other.
That's because to lucas it wasn't anymore real or substantial than your own imagined star wars adventure in your backyard swinging a stick around. Lucas was never in a billion years going to sit down and write VII himself and think >wow what did those other guys say? The You So Long? Wow you know what, I'll use someone else's bullshit for my story and characters I made myself!
Was never gonna happen, downright insulting to believe it could have lol, imagine thinking Hedley other people compel or control his creations.
The people that tow this line about the EU being a mess are usually the zoomers that grew up with The Clone Wars and never touched a book in their lives.
Lol there were literally 6 levels to the fricking canon. The top being G Canon because George was always God. You don't need 6 levels of canon unless there's a ton of bullshit from comics and video games and whatnot all happening at once.
For all practical purposes, in the EU the canon began and ended at direct sequels to specific books, with the events being a guideline to other works. It actually helped, because you could more easily segregate the shit parts with the knowledge that you could safely ignore it when partaking in ones you did.
It's no coincidence that the NJO era, the longest set of interconnected material, catches the most shit.

Bigger Proboscis Luuke: A Star Wars Story
EU loved clones
ok
bump
What did Aunt Beru mean by this?
unirinucally that might be the reason why his fricking name is Luuke

Honestly I hate Disney but the EU was a convoluted fricking mess.
no, not really

i don't think so

The Unifying Force is a more satisfying ending for the original cast than ROTJ. Just ignore everything that came after.

The EU was fine by the time RotS came around, that mess was mostly caused by TCW, TFU, Denning's shit and TORtanic, which all came after.

More like they needed a canon level specifically for TCW because it was fricking everything up.

This. The same autistic weirdos who call Disney Nuwars shit (It is) want starkiller to be canon

I think you're forgetting someone.
He was a pretender though.
I love the fact that these books were literally never referenced again, not even as an Easter egg.
Meet Reey
Why would Obi Wan tell Luke about a clone that wouldn't exist for nine more years?
A good question, for another time
What about Bigger Luke?
