Well I ended up capturing every last Rebel planet in the galaxy, and thankfully right when i captured the last one IMP-22 informs me that Luke Skywalker has been captured and the Empire has won the war. What still boggles my mind is the fact that I NEVER saw Luke ANYWHERE. Even right before i captured the last system i ran a successful Espionage mission there and there was no sign of him there, and yet when i assaulted the planet i got him. Oh well, the war's over and peace and order have been restored to the galaxy. Now to take a nice, long vacation before i come back and play again on Intermediate... >.> EDIT: Actually I reloaded to a previous save and did some more espionage on a few different Rebel planets, and I FINALLY found him. I took the opportunity to experiment with different ways of capturing him. First i tried sending Vader to Abduct him... yeah, didnt work so well. Luke automatically foils the actual mission and even when injured he escaped all of their encounters, and eventually became a Jedi Knight -_- Then I tried Abduction with non-force-sensitive characters. It took a few tries but eventually it worked. Then I tried just Assaulting the planet. Luke escaped the assault itself but ran into Vader in the Fleet above and got captured. I repeated this several times, including some times where I DIDNT see Luke on the planet (I located him through Espionage, then reloaded without saving and went back to that same planet) and even when I didnt "know" Luke was there Vader still captured him every time. I also tried removing Vader from the fleet before assaulting, and Luke got away. So from what I can tell, the best way to capture Luke (once you've tracked him down -_-) is to stick Vader's fleet over his planet and conduct Planetary Assault. All else fails, Vader should detect him as he tries to escape and capture him. EDIT 2: I tried one more experiment, this time using the Emperor instead of Vader. After Assaulting the planet, Luke and the Emperor had their encounter, but not only did Luke manage to escape, the Emperor was injured. So Vader is definitely the way to go.
