Hero Overview

Never. I'll never turn to the dark side. You've failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.
~ Luke Skywalker defies Palpatine in Return of The Jedi.
Red five standing by.
~ Luke reporting before the Battle of Yavin.
Is Darth Vader my father?
~ Luke to a dying Yoda.

Luke Skywalker is one of the protagonists of the Star Wars franchise. He is an incredible Jedi who would grow up to defeat the Empire. He is the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, the brother of Leia Organa, and the second Jedi Padawan of Obi-Wan Kenobi (after his father) and Yoda (after Count Dooku).

Luke is one of the three protagonists (alongside his father Anakin and Rey) of the Skywalker Saga, serving as the protagonist of the original trilogy, as a minor yet pivotal character in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, and as a major character in the sequel trilogy, appearing as a minor, yet pivotal character in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, as the titular deuteragonist of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, and as a posthumous character in Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. He also made a cameo appearance in the Star Wars Rebels Season Three episode Twin Suns.

He is famously portrayed by Mark Hamill​, who is also well-known for playing numerous different versions of an iconic villain, The Joker. Luke has also been voiced by C. Andrew Nelson, Joshua Fardon, Bob Bergen, Lloyd Floyd, Matt Lanter (who also played his father), Eric Bauza, Christopher Corey Smith, and Anthony Hansen, and portrayed by Max Lloyd Jones in The Mandalorian.

Personality

This one, a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away. To the future. To the horizon. Never his mind on where he was… what he was doing! Adventure, heh! Excitement, heh!… A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!
~ Yoda to Luke.

Much like his father, Anakin Skywalker, Luke is intelligent, wise, selfless, brave, prideful, impulsive, and loyal. He has a sense of justice, honor and good morals; of course, like his father, he is sometimes overconfident, short-tempered, hot-headed, aggressive, unpredictable, impatient, difficult, and emotionally insecure. He has the ability to see the good in others, and he is not a very good liar.

After losing his right hand to Darth Vader, Luke becomes far more calm, level-headed and patient. Despite the fact that he now has better control over his emotions and temper than his father, Luke still has his moments of losing his patience and temper. This was noticeable when Vader spoke of making Leia fall to the dark side, and Luke angrily bested him in their duel on the Death Star.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • The Force: As the son of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, Luke is immensely powerful, and has an amazingly strong connection to the Force, stronger than any Force user currently alive. Luke's Force potential is equal to that of even his father. By the time of the events of The Force Awakens, Luke's Force potential has greatly increased to the point were he is a threat to Snoke, the Knights of Ren and the First Order.
    • Telekinesis: Luke utilizes Telekinesis for either offensive or defensive purposes.
      • Force Push: Luke utilizes Force Push to send his opponents flying through the air, causing them serious injury or temporarily incapacitating them/knocked them unconscious.
      • Force Pull: Luke utilizes Force Pull to pull objects towards him.
      • Force Grip: Luke utilized Force Grip to lift his opponents off the ground and into the air to immobilize them.
      • Force Choke: Luke utilizes Force Choke to either weaken, kill or intimidate his opponents.
      • Force Crush: Luke utilizes Force Crush to crush objects, including droids.
    • Mind Trick: Luke utilizes Mind Trick to control the minds of other sentient beings, however, it does not work on individuals who have very strong wills.
    • Telepathy: Luke utilizes Telepathy to mentally communicate over small or vast distances with other individuals; his telepathy is so powerful, that he was able to contact literally all the Jedi across the galaxy to Ossus to make the announcement of him taking on the role as Grand Master of the New Jedi Order and to issue his views about the role of the New Order to his Jedi.
    • Force Sense: Luke utilizes Force sense, to sense another sentient being's emotions, the future, ripples in the Force caused by momentous or traumatic events, or impending danger and the presence of the Dark Side.
    • Force Vision: Luke utilizes Force Vision, to have visions of the past, the present and the future; however, like all force users, his visions were not always clear or sometimes had visions even when he was not utilizing this power at will.
    • Force Healing: Luke utilizes Force Healing, to heal himself or other sentient beings.
    • Force Speed: Luke utilizes Force Speed, to move at amazing speed.
    • Force Jump: Luke utilizes Force Jump, to jump or leap at great distances.
    • Force Rage: Luke utilizes Force Rage to channel his anger to increase his speed, strength and ferocity. However, doing so runs the risk of being corrupted by the Dark Side.
    • Tutaminis: Luke utilizes Tutaminis to dissipate concentrated energy such as blasterbolts or lightsaber blades.
    • Ionize: Luke utilizes Ionize to overload and damage electronic systems, such as droids.
    • Battle Meditation: Luke utilizes Battle Meditation to boosted the morale, stamina, and battle prowess of his allies while simultaneously reducing his opponents' combat-effectiveness by eroding their will to fight.
    • Blood Trail: Luke utilizes Blood Trail, to use his own blood to mark his target(s) and track them through the blood mark using the Force in case they escaped.
    • Force Stealth: Luke utilizes Force Stealth to mask his force alignment or even his entire presence from other force users.
    • Force Cloak: Luke utilizes Force Cloak to manipulate light and sound waves around himself, rendering him invisible to visual and audio, as well as from living individuals, droids, and other non-living individuals.
    • Shatterpoint: Luke utilizes Shatterpoint to perceive faults through the force.
    • Electric Judgment: Luke utilizes Electric Judgment to kill or knock his opponents unconscious.
    • Pyrokinesis: Luke utilizes Pyrokinesis to manipulate and generate fire and heat by rubbing air molecules together.
    • Fold Space: Luke utilizes Force Space, to bend space to instantly transport an object or himself between places. His power over space allowed him to telekinetically sustain a black hole for a time.
    • Ayna-seff: Luke utilizes Ayna-seff to suffused his body with a low level of electromagnetic radiation, and makes his brain activity undetectable.
    • Force Light: Luke utilizes Force Light to weaken a Dark Side user's connection to the Force/the Dark side of the Force.
    • Mnemotherapy: Luke utilizes Mnemotherapy to visualize the target's memories and eradicate them.
    • Oneness: Luke utilizes Oneness to achieve a state of partial transcendency into the Force to temporarily strengthen his power in the Force. This notably allowed him to to generate a maelstrom of luminous Force energy around himself and unleash a blast of Force energy that manifested as a yellow torrent of flame.

Abilities

  • Lightsaber Skills: Despite his minimal level of training, Luke is highly skilled in lightsaber combat and he is an extremely gifted duelist. After only one brief session with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was able to hold his own against Darth Vader, a far more experienced and powerful combatant all together, on three different occasions. In the first, though relatively short confrontation, his skill proved inadequate and he was defeated with ease. However, in the second fight, which took place roughly three years later, Luke had greatly improved his technique and he was able to hold his own for much of the duel, even managing to lightly wound Vader's right shoulder. Ultimately, however, Vader once again proved superior and Luke lost the fight, as well as his lightsaber and right hand. In their final duel on the second Death Star, Luke was finally able to overwhelm and defeat Vader, though with extreme effort. With Yoda, Luke also uses his Force powers to not only to increase his physical speed and agility, but also to increase the speed of his attacks, to make his lightsaber combat skills more lethal in combat; this makes him a formidable opponent in single combat. Before he received much training, he relied on his Force sense and his reflexes to use the blade.
    • Form I: Luke is highly skilled in Shii Cho.
    • Form III: Luke is highly skilled in Soresu.
    • Form IV: Luke is highly skilled in Ataru.
    • Form V: Luke is highly skilled in Shien/Djem So.
    • Jar'Kai: Luke is highly skilled in Jar'Kai.
    • Strong style: Luke is very skilled in Strong style.
    • Cho mai: Luke is highly skilled in Cho mai.
    • Dun Möch: Luke is highly skilled in utilizing the very opposite of Dun Möch.
  • Expert Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Luke is highly skilled in unarmed combat.
  • Expert Marksman: Luke is highly skilled in utilizing blaster pistols.
  • Master Pilot: Luke is highly skilled in piloting various speeders and every type of flying craft. His piloting skills are equal to his father's, Anakin Skywalker's piloting skills; he is best star-pilot in the the galaxy currently alive.
  • Master Engineer: Much like his father, Anakin, Luke is amazingly skilled in engineering. He was able to successfully construct his own green bladed lightsaber in his first try, despite his limited knowledge of the ways of the Jedi at the time.
  • Genius-Level Intellect/Master Tactician/Leader: Much like his father, Anakin, Luke is amazingly intelligent, his intelligence and wisdom rivals that of even Yoda. As the leader of the New Jedi Order, Luke is a highly skilled tactician and a very capable leader.
  • Multilingual: Luke is capable of fluently speaking Galactic Basic, Huttese, Jawa Trade language, Shyriiwook, and Yuzz. He also claims to know twelve other common languages.

Quotes

I want to come with you to Alderaan. There's nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like my father.
~ Luke to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you!
~ Luke to Princess Leia.
Thanks, Wedge.
~ After Wedge saved Luke's life.
Moff Seerdon...
~ Luke before he battles Kohl Seerdon.
He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
~ Luke to Darth Vader.
I am taking Captain Solo and his friends. You can either profit by this or be destroyed. It's your choice, but I warn you not to underestimate my powers.
~ Luke to Jabba the Hutt.
No. You're coming with me. I will not leave you here. I've got to save you!
~ Luke to his dying father.
You think what? I'm going to walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order?
~ Luke to Rey.
What do you know about the Force? (Rey: It's a power Jedi have that lets them control people and make things float.) Impressive. Every word in that sentence was wrong.
~ Luke teaching Rey about the Force.
I've seen this raw strength only once before, in Ben Solo. I didn't scare me enough then. It does now.
~ Luke to Rey after she went to the dark during her training.
I saw darkness. I sensed it building in him. I'd seen it in moments during his training. But then I looked inside, and it was beyond what I ever imagined. Snoke had already turned his heart. He would bring destruction, pain, death, and the end of everything I love because of what he will become. And for the briefest moment of pure instinct, I thought I could stop it. It passed like a fleeting shadow. And I was left with shame and with consequence. And the last thing I saw were the eyes of a frightened boy whose master had failed him.
~ Luke on sensing darkness inside Ben Solo.
This is not going to go the way you think!
~ Luke to Rey.
No one is ever really gone.
~ Luke to Leia.
I've failed you Ben. I'm sorry.
~ Luke to Kylo Ren.
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. The Rebellion is reborn today. The war is just beginning. And I will not be the last Jedi. (Ren: I'll destroy her, and you, and all of it.) No. Strike me down in anger and I will always be with you. Just like your father. See you around kid.
~ Luke's final words to his nephew before dying.
Rey. The Force will be with you. Always.
~ Luke's voice to Rey.
I don't propose that we place ourselves in seclusion and pass our days meditating on the Force—though that might be the path for some of us. But I do advocate attuning ourselves to the longer view, and reaching out to others who seek to serve the Force.
~ Luke in the Legends.
