Early in the war, the still unnamed CC-7777 managed to get most of his command out of a scrape that, without his quick-thinking, level-headedness, and sharp wits, would’ve otherwise annihilated them all. A non-clone officer, shortly afterward, commented, “Luck got you out of that one.” Perhaps it was meant lightly, but it rubbed the commander the wrong way.
Angry but always the quintessential offer, he limited himself to the bitter response, “Then I must be Commander Luck.”
He didn’t intend to name himself Luck; it was a throwaway line meant to remind that he works hard to keep those under his command safe, but the story spread through the unit and they started calling him Luck.
He doesn’t believe in luck. There’s only hard work, preparedness, ingenuity, and seizing opportunity when it presents itself. The only luck is that one makes.
It’s a good name, he eventually decides. He’s his own luck.
