I could be wrong, but I got the distinct impression that, as a full-fledged Jedi, he was more of a free agent. At the service of the Rebels, but not really part of their organization. Sort of how the Jedi of old were at the service of the Republic, but they were not members of the government.
But, it's just an impression I got. Maybe that black outfit was a rebel uniform that I just didn't recognize. Of course, if Luke was still part of the official Rebel personnel roster and he didn't get promoted to at least General - - I call Triple Shenanigans!
Yet, I never heard "General Skywalker" mentioned once in Return of the Jedi. I think Luke was freelancing.
I'm checking my information right now, but I believe he was a commissioned officer with the Rebellion during all 3 movies. According to the Wookieepedia, he obtained the rank of general and then resigned his commission 6 months later. It appears it was between 4 and 8 years after the Battle of Yavin. If he ever resigned it before then, and later chose to get reinstated, I can find nothing about it. Originally posted by: Gaffer Tape
