Still love the Thrawn Trilogy.
If this isn't my favorite portrayal of Luke, he's damn close. Wanting to do what's right, always struggling to turn that sentiment into reality, all empathy and fragility and bigheartedness but when he stand up he stands up... argh.
I liked him in Stover's novel too, don't get me wrong. But that Luke was a Stover creature. Still striving to do the right thing, but weary and kind of tired and not at all inexperienced and optimistic like Zahn's version. I can accept Stover's Luke as an older man, but at the age he is in that novel...
Eh, that's the style.
