Portrayed by Marker Hamill, Luke first appeared in Star Wars (1977),^[v] and he returned in The Empire Strikes Dorsum (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Over three decades later, Hamill returned as Luke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, cameoing in The Force Awakens (2015) before playing a major role in The Last Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019). He subsequently played a digitally de-aged version of the character in the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, appearing in the 2d-season finale, which premiered in 2020, and The Book of Boba Fett, in the sixth episode, released in 2022.

Originally a farmer on Tatooine living with his uncle and aunt, Luke becomes a pivotal effigy in the Rebel Alliance's struggle confronting the Galactic Empire. The son of fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (turned Sith Lord Darth Vader) and Padmé Amidala, Luke is the twin blood brother of Rebellion leader Princess Leia and eventual blood brother-in-law of the smuggler Han Solo. Luke trains to exist a Jedi nether Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda and rebuilds the Jedi Order. He later trains his nephew Ben Solo and mentors Rey. Though Luke dies at the end of The Last Jedi, he returns every bit a Force spirit in The Rise of Skywalker, encouraging Rey to face her grandfather, the resurrected Emperor Palpatine.

In the de-canonized Star Wars Expanded Universe (renamed Legends), Luke is a main graphic symbol in many stories set after Return of the Jedi, which draw him as a powerful Jedi Master, the husband of Mara Jade, father of Ben Skywalker, and maternal uncle of Jaina, Jacen and Anakin Solo.

Concept and cosmos

Series creator George Lucas considered diverse characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars pic. This included a threescore-year-erstwhile grizzled war hero, a Jedi main, a dwarf, and a adult female.^{[2] [iii]} In an interview about his early drafts, Lucas said:

The first [version] talked most a princess and an erstwhile general. The 2d version involved a father, his son, and his daughter; the daughter was the heroine of the motion-picture show. Now the daughter has go Luke, Mark Hamill's graphic symbol. There was also the story of 2 brothers where I transformed 1 of them into a sister. The older brother was imprisoned, and the young sis had to rescue him and bring him back to their dad.^[four]

Though Luke'southward surname was "Skywalker" in Lucas's 1973 treatment of The Star Wars,^[5] it was inverse to "Starkiller" in subsequent drafts, at i point featuring in the title (The Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Starkiller). The "Starkiller" surname remained for the first few months of product;^{[half dozen] [7]} Hamill used the name "Luke Starkiller" the sole fourth dimension he referred to himself during filming, in a scene during which a stormtrooper helmet obscures his oral cavity;^[8] this was dubbed "Skywalker" in the motion picture. "Starkiller" was dropped due to what Lucas chosen "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson.^[ix]

In an alternative catastrophe pitched past Lucas for the Star Wars trilogy'southward terminal film, Return of the Jedi (1983), Luke causeless his begetter's role as Darth Vader after the latter's expiry and intending to rule in his place. Though Lawrence Kasdan favored the idea, Lucas ultimately declined, since the films were made for children.^[10] Another determination to the film featured the character disappearing into the wilderness akin to "Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns."^[xi]

Afterward, George Lucas would aggrandize the graphic symbol upon the prophecy revealed in the prequel trilogy. Like his male parent, the Chosen One, Skywalker possessed a uniquely powerful connection to the Force and became i of the most powerful Force wielders in galactic history. Indeed, in Empire Strikes Back, Darth Sidious expresses the belief that Skywalker was strong enough in the Force to destroy the Sith. Fifty-fifty George Lucas himself has stated Luke Skywalker is the most powerful Jedi in the galactic history.^[12]

According to Mark Hamill, during the filming of the original film, Lucas asked him if he would reprise the function for a cameo when he was in his 60s to pass the torch to the next generation. In 1983, Hamill stated that his return to the franchise would be "either exist another aeroplane of existence or not the same character".^[xiii] Hamill learned of the sequel trilogy in mid-2012 at a Star Wars Celebration during lunch when Lucas told him one was in development.^[14]

Luke's lack of screen fourth dimension in The Force Awakens was due to concerns by screenwriter Michael Arndt that his presence would mean the audition would have less involvement in protagonist Rey, leading to an agreement that he be removed from the screen and instead become a plot device.^{[15] [16]} Hamill attended meetings for script readings, and helped conceal Luke's role in the moving picture; instead of dialogue, he read stage directions. Co-ordinate to director and co-writer J. J. Abrams, this immune Hamill to remain involved and his reading helped make a "better experience for anybody".^[17]

After filming The Force Awakens, Hamill shaved his beard to portray the Trickster in The Flash, then let it abound back to film The Terminal Jedi.^[14] According to concept designer Christian Alzmann, Luke's appearance in that motion-picture show was partly inspired by that of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979).^[18]

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor is a standalone novel that chronicles the Battle of Mindor, a fictional event in the Star Wars expanded universe. The novel was written by Matthew Stover and released in December 2008.^[fifty]

The novel is set up before long later on Return of the Jedi and the novel Prophets of the Dark Side, with Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance attempting to stop Lord Shadowspawn and his "shadow stormtroopers", culminating in the Battle of Mindor.^[50] Matthew Stover has said on his personal weblog,^[51]

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor is my endeavor to get the EU dorsum to its pre-Zahn roots -- specifically, to evoke memories of my all-time favorite Star Wars books, Brian Daley's Han Solo novels.

Comic books

Luke Skywalker appears in the Marvel-published Star Wars comics adaptations of the original trilogy, also as an ongoing series that ran from 1977 to 1986. When Nighttime Horse caused the license two years later, he appeared in numerous projects based on the franchise likewise. In Star Wars: Legacy, gear up 125 years later the events of the original films, Luke appears equally a spirit in the Forcefulness to his descendant Cade Skywalker and persuades him to once again become a Jedi in order to defeat the evil Darth Krayt and his burgeoning Sith Empire.

Characterization

Psychoanalytic

Each of the Star Wars characters instantiates one of the archetypes in Joseph Campbell'south hero'due south journey,^[52] with Luke Skywalker filling the hero classic.^[53] Every bit such, he is a relatable protagonist who encounters the basic struggle between good and evil in the aforementioned way every bit other heroic figures such as Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins, and Jesus Christ. Luke's fundamental dilemma is the ongoing war betwixt good and evil, both externally and internally.

Religious

Some argue that Luke mirrors fundamental values of Christianity and Abrahamic faith; Luke'south journey is often compared to that of Jesus Christ. Scholars debate that Luke is a Christ-like figure, while Yoda represents a god, and Darth Vader represents the temptations of evil. Luke's struggle between good and evil is contrasted with that of his father, Anakin Skywalker, in a style that represents the story of the Dissipated Son.^[54]

Reception

In 2015, Luke Skywalker was selected by Empire magazine as the 50th-greatest pic character of all time.^[55] Empire also ranked him equally the third greatest Star Wars graphic symbol.^[56] Luke was besides on the ballot for the American Picture Institute's 100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains.^[57] On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Luke at number 14.^[58] IGN listed Luke as their 4th height Star Wars character,^[59] and he was chosen twice past IGN'due south readers as one of their favorite Star Wars characters.^{[60] [61]} IGN's Jesse Schedeen as well picked Luke Skywalker as one of the characters they most wanted to appear on the Wii,^[62] as well as listing Skywalker equally one of their favorite Star Wars heroes.^[63] Schedeen also listed the character equally one of the Star Wars characters they wanted to see in Soulcalibur.^[64] IGN also called the fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi one of the ultimate motion picture "boss battles".^[65] In a feature on speeches made by Luke Skywalker, IGN'south Todd Gilchrist said that his favorite of Luke's speeches is "I am a Jedi, like my male parent earlier me".^[66] UGO Networks listed Luke as one of their best heroes of all fourth dimension,^[67] and he was voted as one of the coolest Star Wars characters by UGO'due south readers.^[68] Inventor Dean Kamen has besides code-named his new prosthetic arm system "Luke" in accolade of the graphic symbol.^[69] One indication of the grapheme'southward touch on fans is an elaborate fan theory, developed on the Cyberspace since 2015, that there are actually two different Lukes in the original trilogy: the normal one and a "bigger Luke" of a slightly larger build who appears in some scenes.^[70]

Mark Hamill was nominated a Saturn Accolade for All-time Histrion in for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars,^[71] and won the honour for his portrayal in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Concluding Jedi.^[72]

In 1976, Hamill was in a serious car blow after filming Star Wars, which involved an functioning on his face. Information technology was speculated that the Wampa attack at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back was written in to explain his facial injuries, but George Lucas specifically disputed this in the DVD commentary of The Empire Strikes Back.^[73]

In regards to Luke'due south portrayal in The Last Jedi, many fans expressed disappointment in how he was depicted "as a grumpy old man whose failures had driven him into hiding" and the actions the character takes in contributing to Kylo Ren'due south backstory, a stark departure in how Luke was characterized in the original trilogy.^[74] Hamill originally stated that he "pretty much fundamentally [disagreed] with every choice [The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson] made for this grapheme," but that he had the utmost respect for Johnson and was willing to do his part to realize Johnson's vision.^[75] While regarding the possibility of a younger actor playing the part, Hamill expressed support towards Sebastian Stan, whose physical resemblance to a immature Hamill went viral.^[76] However he noted that child actor Jacob Tremblay would be his top choice if the story were to be focused on a very young Luke.^[77]

In 2016, when asked nearly the grapheme'south sexual orientation and if Luke could be gay, Hamill said Luke's sexual orientation "is meant to be interpreted by the viewer." He added, "if you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should non be aback of it. Estimate Luke past his character, not by who he loves."^[78] Hamill afterwards said that he considered the possibility that Luke could take found love between Render of the Jedi and The Force Awakens.^[79]

Cultural impact

Luke Skywalker remains an American cultural icon. He is ofttimes used by kid psychotherapists to aid children to projection their thoughts and state of beingness in a mode that is understandable to both the child and their therapist.^[80] Another mode that therapists use Star Wars in sessions is to teach their patients that the Force represents the self-understanding that they attain in therapy. Children are taught that they are Luke and their therapist is Obi-Wan, in that eventually, every bit Luke no longer needed his mentor, they will one day no longer need their therapist.^[81]

Star Wars has been related dorsum to cultural events of its fourth dimension, such as the Common cold War and Nixon-era politics. The severing of Luke'due south manus and Darth Vader's bionic presence supposedly, co-ordinate to infinite.com, symbolize the unity of the war machine and amputees.^[82]
