Koffin Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 7th. Question: What is the name of the woman Jedi, Luke falls in love with on 'the eye of palpatine'? Answer: Callista From: Children of the Jedi by Barbara Hambly Plot: With an ominous warning about some lost children of the Jedi ("They hid the children down the well... Kill you all!") Han, Leia, Chewie, and Artoo head across the Galaxy to the planet Belsavis to investigate. Meanwhile Luke is drawn to an asteroid cluster in a gas cloud by a dark premonition. He is accompanied by his students Cray (a gorgeous leggy blonde who is also a leading expert on Artificial Intelligence) and her fiance Nichos (another student of Luke's, who because of a fatal disease now has a droid body--designed by Cray), as well as Threepio. While Leia and company discover the ruins of a Jedi society and uncover deadly plots, Luke and his cohorts get captured by a battlemoon (a large battleship, bigger than a Super-Stardestroyer but smaller than a Death Star) and discover not only a sinister evil with the desire to complete a thirty-year old mission, but the soul of a female Jedi named Callista living in the computer core. Luke falls in love with Callista (ain't that how it always works--you finally find a good woman and you have to settle for communicating with her through a computer terminal). Anyway, the good guys come out on top--but there are surprises. Information on the novel as well as reviews can be found at: TheForce.Net Callista also appears in Darksaber by Kevin J. Anderson Callista- short biography: a Jedi Knight from Chad III, she grew up with her family on an ocean ranch, migrating on the Algic Current with the herds of tsaelke. When she accepted the assignement to intercept and disable the Eye of Palpatine, she and her lover, Geith, were unable to completely eliminate the threat of the ship. So, Callista decided to stay behind and try to disable the ship while Geith returned to get more help. When Geith was killed during his escape attempt, Callista sacrificed her physical body and left her Force-aura in the ship's automated firing computer. When Luke Skywalker, Cray Mingla, and Nichos Marr rediscovered the Eye, Callista fired on them, thinking that they were Imperial troops come to recover the ship. Then, Irek activated the ship's remote controls, re-initiatiing its original mission. Callista was unable to determine the causes, but she was able to sense Luke's string Force-presence when he was brought on board. She helped him rescue Cray and Nichos, but refused Luke's attempts to store her consciousness in a computer. However, when Cray decided to stay behind and detonate the ship, she gave Callista her own physical body. Callista escaped the Eye, but she could not longer touch the Force. So, while she loved Luke, she felt that they could not be together forever. The two tried everything they could think of to help her regain her Force sensitivity, but she only succeeded in finding the Dark Side. She vowed that, if the Dark Side was all she could touch, then she wanted nothing to do with the Force. This opened a rift between herself and Luke, which widened with each failure. When the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4 was attacked by Admiral Daala's fleet, Callista took matters into her own hands, and set out to strike a blow against the Empire, even without the abilities of the Force. She commandeered a TIE Bomber and landed on the Knight Hammer, quickly sabotaging the ship's complement of TIE Bombers to detonate their payloads and rip out the Super-class Star Destroyer's engines. She then went to confront Daala, allowing the Dark Side to wash over her as she tried to kill Daala. Daala succeeded in stunning Callista, while the Knight Hammer plunged into the core of Yavin. Callista was not killed when the ship exploded, however. She recovered, and escaped in one of the command-level emergency pods. She fled the New Republic and Luke, setting out to break through the barrier of the Dark Side in order to recover her powers. She felt that she needed to do this herself, and sent a final message to Luke, asking him to understand. Her travels led her to Nam Chorios, where she was drawn into the web of Taselda and Beldorion the Hutt. She tried to learn about the Force from both former Jedi, but was unable to truly regain her power. Taselda enslaved her with the promise of returned strength, using Callista to strike at Beldorion. After escaping the old woman, Callista realized that she was trying too hard to restore her Force sensitivity. She felt that this would lead herto the Dark Side, so she allowed herself to become Beldorion's slave as well. This fear - the fear of falling into the Dark Side completely - was what kept Callista from rejoining Luke. She came to understand the strange relationship between the Force in the Spooks and the Therans, and joined one of their troops in working to keep the drochs from leaving the planet. It was Callista who re-initiated Leia Organa-Solo's lightsber training, while they were spending time in a Theran camp. After the defeat of Dzym and Seti Ashgad, Callista again fled Luke, joining Umolly Darm and Be' as rock ivory hunters until she found her way in the Force. Oh yeah, and her last name was Ming.

setsuko Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 I had to look at my oldest bookcase, but I think I have to agree on the Callista part, if my memory doesn't serve me wrong.

Question: In the Thrawn Trilogy, a clone of Luke Skywalker is made. named Luuke Skywalker. How is that clone made? How did they get the genetic substance of Luke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 The genetic material was obtained from Luke's hand - the one he lost in cloud city. The clone was created by Joruus C'boath after Luke failed to turn to the darkside under his tuition, and was killed by Mara Jade enabling to fulfill her Last Command given to her by Palpatine, "You will kill Luke Skywalker!". Fulfilling Palpatine's last command enabled Mara to get her life back together (previously whenever she settled the command would drive her to resume her quest) and work for Talon Karrde as a prominent member of the Smuggler's Alliance. Later on Mara came to terms with her hatred of Luke, and eventually married him, in the comic books series: Union. This marriage would produce Ben Skywalker (born in the NJO), who could potentially be the most powerful Jedi the galaxy has known (including Yoda and Anakin).

setsuko Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Luke had a T-16 Skyhopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 It can be seen in the Lars family garage, where the start of the fullsize model stands. However, they could'nt afford to finish it, so they just put it mostly out of sight, but you can still see glimpses of it. Oh, and it has almost the same controls as the T-65 X-Wing, and since you can add simple armaments under it, it is a good craft to use when learning to fly an X, but a lot cheaper. After all, they are both made by Incom, and have a lot in common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGuard Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 He flew the Incom T-16 Skyhopper for fun (he's playing with a scale model of this early on in the film) And got around in a Landspeeder. The T-16 was produced by Incom before they were declared illegal by the Empire, and their assets were seized for being Rebel sympathisers (which they weren't). Ironically, this action by the Empire caused Incom to sell their design to the Alliance, and the X-Wing, when combined with the venerable Y-Wing, allowed the alliance to perpetrate the hit and run tactics they needed to survive. Luke also held the record for fastest run along the most difficult course of Beggar's canyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Evad Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 He flew a T-16 Skyhopper made by Incom. The same company that made the X-wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Luke flew a T-16 Skyhopper, an airspeeder made by Incom Corporation. It's controls were used in the X-Wing aswell, and for a very good reason too. This alloved pilots to start training in a less expensive T-16, then later go over to flying the T-65 with very little flight adjustments. The pilots were already familiar with the controls.

Com Raven Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 He flew a an Incom t-16 Skyhopper.... a wing of it can be seen in the background in Ep IV, while Luke plays with a model of it... he also used it to bullseye womprats, whcih are about 3 metres long, which is why he believes that he can hit the DS cooling vent over Yavin 4....
