Luke goes one further making himself a Grand Master.
He was in charge of all the other Jedi.
There's also a big difference between claiming to have a rank that you don't have and claiming to be part of an organization that you're not part of.

Or C'boath or Luke Skywalker self appointing themselves Jedi masters.
C'Boath was insane and nobody else considered him a Jedi master, and Luke was already a Jedi when he took on an apprentice, making him a Jedi who's a master of another Jedi.

Not any more stupid than Kun and Ulic Qel Droma self appointing themselves dark lords of the sith.
They didn't appoint themselves. A spirit appointed them and marked their foreheads.
- How KOTOR II went "You thought Revan and Malak turned to the dark side on their own and became Sith by taking control of Kun and Ulic's followers? Noooo, there's "true Sith" out there". I also hate that KOTOR II renamed the Second Sith War the "Jedi Civil War".
- The idea that you can become a Sith just by calling yourself one. Sorry Sith fanboys, but you can't.

How the Legacy comics predestined things to end up a certain way. Why should I care about Caedus, Abeloth, or the Lost Tribe when I know that Krayt is going to end up in charge? Why should I care what Luke, Leia, and Han are doing when I know that they'll be dead?
Well, when "Star Wars" came out in 1977, there was a pretty good chance Luke, Leia, and Han would all die someday.
But we didn't know what sort of galaxy they'd leave behind.
Darth Andeddu. There shouldn't be any Darths in his era.

Dathka Graush. I love when the Sith species kicks ass.

^Where I draw the distinction between the two instances is that Yoda was shown instructing multiple students (and served as a surrogate mentor for Obi-Wan following Qui-Gon's death), whereas Dooku's master was created specifically for the novels and had no basis in canon.
Obi-Wan not being Yoda's padawan would fall under "what do you hate about the prequels", and the prequels' problems don't make the EU's any better.
Empire's End. A rushed ending for The Emperor and everything's back to where it was in ROTJ.

There are exceptions to my statement.

What?
If they don't care about Lucas's treatments, no way they're going to care about his special editions.
There's a huge difference between an unused script and a thing the public saw.
The OOT is also a thing that the public saw.

I'd say WRONG THREAD if this thread was actually about something.

Not fully sure if missed the point, but pretty sure.
I got the point. I just don't agree with it.
Maybe Marvel wants the comics to match the Marvel movies better.

Great to hear! I said from the beginning they shouldn't use his treatments, and that they were cursed.
If GL's treatments weren't used for ESB, Yoda wouldn't exist and Vader wouldn't be Luke's father.

How little mystery was allowed to remain. There's lots of "The Force is objectively this way" crap.

All nonsense. There is nothing in the films to imply a year ISN'T what we mean by a year. Anything else is EU writers trying to hard.

What I hate is the very concept of "canon". I don't care if one story is consistent with another or not, I just want a story that's good.

Welp, just read the first issue. It wasn't bad. The art is definitely a step down after Dark Horse but it was serviceable.
*SPOILERS*
I do take issue with Luke facing off with Vader right after Star Wars, using his old lightsaber against him no less. We'll see how that pans out next issue I guess. At least Vader didn't already know who Luke was like the last Dark Horse series.
It's possible that Luke was having a vision of Vader coming.
DuracellEnergizer said: That ship sailed a long time ago when Lucas made TPM. Why bitch about Disney tossing out the EU now when Lucas himself has been doing it since 1999?
We all remember when the Republic fought against insane clones and Yoda was Obi-Wan's master.
