Lightsaber

Does anyone else think that Ben's lightsaber on the cover of Backlash is like identical to Anakin's first lightsaber from attack of the clones almost like he's trying to play homage to his grandfather? jedi_master425

In the cover of Fury, his lightsaber seems to be Obi-Wan's first lightsaber. Can someone explain that?

  • It could just have been modeled after his. that style of hilt was kind of standard. jedi_master425
  • Ben could be using Anakin's lightsaber. It was passed from Luke to Mara, and it's possible that Ben claimed it later. User:Lord Ascension
  • That's one of the things I really wish they would get up to snuff. I don't recall anything about his lightsaber being lost or destroyed, so i don't see a reason for the discrepancy but if you notice they get the hilt of Luke's lightsaber wrong in Allies. So I personally assume that his looks allot like Obi-Wan's first lighstaber as the Fury artwork shows. Probably a response from basing his own off his father's, which is based of Obi'Wan's later blade. At least that makes the most sense, though an explanation would be nice.

it says that Leia was using Anakin's/ Luke's/ Mara's lightsaber in Jacen's dream in the proluoge for Exile. It does not say anything about Ben using it

Backlash

so how come ben doesnt have any info from backlash on this?

i would add it but i dont know how

  • yeah i kinda wonder about that too since most other articles are up to date now
  • I did some of the Allies and Vortex additions, I will try to get Backlash in there too. It's kind of glossed over in alot of places. Shadowsaber623 07:13, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

"Powers and abilities", not "Recap the plots again"

The Powers and Abilities section is waay bigger than it should be, don't you think? It includes at least one paragraph that has nothing to do with him... (- -) 08:34, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

Withdrawal from the force.

I know he withdrew from the force during the Yuuzhan Vong War, but when exactly during that period did he withdraw from the force? Did it happen during a specific novel?

ben skywalker grand master?

i recently read somewhere online that some official star wars author confirmed that ben becomes grand master of the order after luke retires from the jedi council i'm assuming it's fanon but just want to be sure Jedi Knight Jayzen Shan (talk) 01:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

  • No source has ever said that. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 13:18, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Age?

In Dark Nest I: The Joiner King Jacen Solo returns from his five year journey which is in 35ABY. When Luke, Mara, Ben, Leia ands Han arrive on the killik planet (think its called Qoribu), Ben speaks to Jacen briefly and said that Jacen had left when he was aged two. Jacen left in 30ABY which would have made Ben have been born in 28ABY when it clearly states on the page that he was born in 26.5ABY. Can somebody confirm which is canon? T.P.C...C.P.T

Why is his biography so long? Can we get the summary of the details not the exposition on who he is thought to be?
