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, 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.
In the sequel series: Luke was reclusive and bitter after failing his pupil and nephew Ben Solo, and feeling that he had failed Leia too. Ben Solo was like his grandfather who seduced to the dark side by a resurrected Palpatine and name him Kylo Ren. Why Luke went into exile was because he wanted to die as the last of the Jedi, until he was confronted by Rey and later the spirit of Yoda. After his death and becoming a Force spirit, Luke became more of his old self, encouraging Rey to take up the mantel of the Jedi and confront Palpatine once and for all.
Powers and Abilities[]

“
I am one man. But I am not alone. The Force is my ally. And it is Powerful. You're clumsy. Untrained. You use the dark side like a hammer. But the Light is a blade. And so am I.

~ Luke to the Knights of Ren.
The Force: As the son of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, Luke is immensely powerful, and has an amazingly strong connection to the Force, his Force potential being almost equal to that of his father. According to George Lucas, a full potential Anakin was twice as powerful as Darth Sidious, the most powerful Sith Lord of all time. By the time he is Grand Master of the New Jedi Order, Luke is universally regarded as the most powerful Jedi of all time and the strongest Force user to ever live, even stronger than Yoda and Darth Sidious. He, along with Darth Krayt, were able to defeat the dark side entity Abeloth. While less powerful in Canon, by the time of the events of The Force Awakens, Luke's Force power was such that even in exile he was considered a threat to Snoke, the Knights of Ren and the First Order.
Telekinesis: Luke can telekinetically move objects or other individuals without physically touching them, and he utilizes it for offensive or defensive purposes. By the time of the Battle of Jakku, Luke was so proficient with telekinesis that he was said to have pulled Imperial Star Destroyers out of the sky single-handedly. Among his most impressive feats was when he was able to destroy entire armies of Yuuzhan Vong with his Force pushes alone, even though Yuuzhan Vong were resistant to the Force. He also once brought down a mountain sized fortress with the power of the Force. Perhaps his most impressive feat was when he telekinetically manipulated a black hole.
Force Choke: Luke can telekinetically choke his opponents to either weaken, kill, or intimidate them.
Force Repel: Luke can unleash a wave of pure Force-energy that knocks back anything within the power's blast radius or pushes multiple opponents simultaneously. Luke is proven to be powerful enough to completely shatter a stone hut housing Rey and himself, leaving only the foundation intact.
Force Levitation: Using the Force, Luke can levitate himself in the air. He uses this to stop his fall during his brief fight with Rey, and later when he is projecting his consciousness to Crait.
Force Throw: Luke can telekinetically cause objects and other individuals to be hurled toward a target at an astounding velocity.
Force Crush: Luke can telekinetically crush objects or droids such as Dark Troopers.
Telepathy: Luke can telepathically communicate with other individuals over small or vast distances, especially his father Anakin, and his sister Leia, both of whom he shares a familial and emotional connection with. He was also capable of telepathically communicating with all Jedi in the galaxy.
Mind Probe: Luke can telepathically sense and sift through the thoughts and memories of other sentient beings. This allowed him to scan the mind of a sleeping Ben Solo to discover that Snoke had been corrupting him with the dark side of the Force, sensing that the boy would go on to become a force for evil in the near future.
Force Sense: Luke can sense other sentient beings' emotions, the future, ripples in the Force caused by momentous or traumatic events, impending danger, and the presence of other light or dark side Force-users. His senses are so powerful that he was able to sense the presence of his father, Anakin, on Endor.
Force Tracking: Luke was able to use the Force and Grogu's connection to it, to find his location from across the galaxy. This allowed Luke to arrive and save both him and his friends, and to take him for training.
Force Focus: Using the Force, Luke can calm himself down and completely block out his surroundings, this allows him perfect concentration, increases his dexterity and coordination, and eliminates any traces of doubt or fear. Not only does this help his already impressive natural piloting skills, but it allowed him to accurately fire his torpedoes at the Death Star exhaust port destroying the Death Star, a feat most deemed impossible (even for a computer).
Focused Rage: Luke can channel his anger to amplify his strength, durability, endurance, speed, ferocity, aggression, and the potency of his combat prowess/attacks. This allowed him to catch his conflicted father, Darth Vader, off-guard and defeat him in their final battle, although he nearly succumbed to the dark side because of it.
Sever Force: Luke can cut off his connection to the Force, which was why Snoke and Kylo Ren couldn't sense his presence while he was exiled on Ahch-To. According to Luke, it took him years to master Sever Force.
Force Projection: Luke can create and project an illusion of himself that can be manifested all the way across the galaxy. Force projection is a power described in the sacred Jedi texts, so Luke probably learned about it while studying them. During Kylo Ren's assault on Crait to destroy the Resistance, Luke used this power to distract his nephew long enough to allow the Resistance and Rey to escape. However, the effort it took to manifest such an illusion from such a distance took a tremendous toll on his body, which proved too much to bear and caused Luke to become one with the Force. Luke was also capable of Force projection in Legends, but the effects were nowhere near as lethal.
Force Spirit: Due to Luke's immensely powerful connection to the Force and the ancient knowledge of the Jedi at his disposal, he was able to transcend physical death and preserve his identity through the Force. This allowed him to become one with the Force when he was killed by the strain of projecting himself across the galaxy to distract Kylo to allow the Resistance on Crait to escape the First Order
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. He can make people sleep.
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 Lightning: Conjuring the power of the dark side though his living hand, Luke can throw a ball of lightning power enough to knock down a great statue, or unleash chain lightning to kill whole squads of foes.
Electric Judgment: Luke utilizes Electric Judgment to kill or knock his opponents unconscious with light side lightning.
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. By choosing what futures to look into, Luke scammed Darth Caedus.
Force Healing: Luke utilizes Force Healing, to heal himself or other sentient beings, remove poison, slow down his bloodstream, or even resurrect his own dead cells.
Tutaminis: Luke utilizes Tutaminis to dissipate concentrated energy such as blaster bolts, Force lightning or lightsaber blades.
Force Blast: Luke can blast his foes.
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.
Inspire: Luke can use the Force to improve the morale of his alies.
Dopplegänger: Luke can project images of himself across the galaxy, and shape his appearance in these apprence as he sees fit. His use of the dark side in this case even allows him to physically manipulate objects his apparition touches.
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 or disguised to visual and audio, as well as from living individuals, droids, and other non-living individuals. Luke can even hide from the Force and become impossible to detect.
Force Flight: Luke can fly with the Force, though he believes he can only do this in low G.
Illusion: Luke can make illusions, even hiding a whole ship and making a false image fly away, though only by giving into his anger and using the dark side can he do such a grand decoy.
Shatterpoint: Luke utilizes Shatterpoint to perceive faults through the force.
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, though he never bothered using it in combat except while in Oneness.
Ayna-seff: Luke utilizes Ayna-seff to suffuse his body with a low level of electromagnetic radiation, and makes his brain activity undetectable, and can be used to control or shoot lightning without the use of the dark side.
Force Light: Luke utilizes Force Light to weaken a Dark Side user's connection to the Force/the Dark side of the Force.
Mindwalking: Luke can go Beyond Shadows, to an extent and power that only Abeloth and Darth Krayt himself can equal.
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, though often at a great cost to his flesh. This notably allowed him to to generate a shell of golden lightning around himself and teleport.
Golden Flash: Luke, while in Oneness, can unleash a blast of Force energy that manifests as a yellow torrent of flame, disintegrating his opponents.
Force Augmentation: Luke's Force powers amplify his physical strength, making him physically stronger than most other sentient beings.
Advanced Durability: Luke is far more durable than normal Force-users and other sentient beings. Thanks to this, he survived being tortured by Force lightning and being buried by Ben's hut.
Advanced Agility: Luke is far more agile than normal Force-users and other sentient beings. Allowing him to perform amazing acrobatic feats, such as flips and spins, it also amplifies his natural balance. He can also jump at insane distances.
Advanced Reflexes: Luke's reflexes are much faster than normal Force-users and other sentient beings, with them being superior to most Jedi. During the Battle of Crait, despite Luke's old age, he was able to dodge several of Kylo's lightsaber strikes (albeit as a Force projection) despite his nephew being much younger than him. Like his father, before him, this ability makes him an amazing pilot. Cybernetic Hand: Like his father before him, Luke utilizes his cybernetic hand in combat, as it gave him greater strength to easily subdue, restrain, and overpower his opponents.
Abilities[]
Master Lightsaber Duelist: Luke is a highly skilled lightsaber duelist, being universally regarded as the greatest swordsman of his time. When engaging the Yuuzhan Vong, he was described as wielding his single blade as if he was wielding dozens of lightsabers at once. Luke is proven to have a natural affinity for lightsaber combat. This was demonstrated after only one brief session with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was able to hold his own against his father Anakin, the then-ruthless Sith Lord Darth Vader, a far more skilled and experienced lightsaber duelist. On three separate occasions during their first fight, although it was short confrontation, his skills were proved to be inadequate and he was defeated with ease. In their second fight, which took place roughly four years later, Luke had greatly improved his lightsaber combat skills and he was able to hold his own for much of the duel, even managing to lightly wound Vader's right shoulder. However, ultimately Vader once again overpowered him and Luke lost the fight, as well as his lightsaber and right hand. In their final duel on the second Death Star, although with extreme effort, Luke was finally able to overwhelm and best Vader, due to the fact that Vader was caught off-guard. Due to Yoda's tutelage, Luke was able to utilize his Force powers to not only amplify his physical speed and agility, but to also amplify the speed of his attacks as well as to make his lightsaber combat skills more lethal in combat, which made him a formidable opponent in single combat. In the beginning of his training, he relied on his Force sense and his reflexes to use the lightsaber, as revealed in the canonical story Showdown on Smuggler's Moon. During Luke's tenure as a prisoner of the Jedi-obsessed Grakkus the Hutt, his skills were also inadvertently aided by Vader's spy, the stormtrooper and lightsaber combat expert Sergeant Kreel, who masqueraded as Grakkus' gamemaster in an attempt to lure Luke into being captured by Vader. It is likely his skills and knowledge increased further after finding the hidden cave filled with Jocasta Nu's Holocrons, as seen in the final scene in Marvel Comics' Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith: The Dying Light- Part IV. By the time of the events of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, Luke's lightsaber combat skills have greatly improved to the point of mastery. Thus, he started to train the next generation of Jedi Knights, but his plans were greatly delayed after the destruction of his Jedi Temple. Even after years of retirement in exile, Luke's lightsaber combat skills have not diminished, as evidenced by the fact how he was able to handle a furious Rey and briefly disarm her, when she attacked him out of disgust after learning from Kylo Ren that Luke made an attempt on his life. During the Battle of Crait, Luke used just a Force projection of himself and he was able to best Kylo relatively easily, due to the fact that he is a far more skilled and experienced lightsaber duelist than his hot-headed nephew.
Form I: Luke is very skilled in Shii-Cho.

Form V: At first, Luke only has some skills in Shien/Djem So.

Weapons and Equipment[]
As a valued member of the Rebel Alliance, Luke possesses an array of weapons and equipment to assist him along the way:
6-2Aug2 hunting rifle: Luke Skywalker owned a 6-2Aug2 hunting rifle during his youth on Tatooine. Unlike most rifles, this rifle was a slugthrower, which fired solid projectiles. He took the rifle with him when he went to search for runaway R2-D2. The rifle was destroyed when Luke was subsequently ambushed in the Jundland Wastes by the Tusken Raider.
Macrobinoculars: Luke possessed a variety of macrobinoculars to observe from afar, and provided additional information on the distance and altitude of the object under observation. On Tatooine, Luke used the MB450 macrobinoculars which could also be used at night. After joining the Allience, Luke used the standard model macrobinoculars.
Comlink: Luke carried a comlink built into his flight helmet or carried a handheld comlink for communication.
DL-44 heavy blaster pistol: Before completely utilizing the lightsaber as his weapon of choice, Luke used a DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, as a backup weapon, along with his pilot uniform. This weapon was never seen again after Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Lightsabers[]
As a Jedi, Luke's valued weapons and possessions are his blue, yellow, and green-bladed lightsabers. So far, he has had three lightsabers, two of which he built himself. Luke's first lightsaber is comprised of Solid Heavy-Duty and Black alloy, while his second lightsaber is comprised of Chrome and Black alloy.
Skywalker Lightsaber: Upon arriving at Obi-Wan Kenobi's home on Tatooine, the elder Jedi Mastergave Luke the lightsaber used by his father, Anakin Skywalker. The weapon was indeed the one that Obi-Wan took from Anakin after the intense fight on Mustafar. During his fight with Darth Vader on Bespin, Luke lost both his lightsaber and his right hand. However, it resurfaced on Jakku and ended up in the possession of Maz Kanata, that passed it on to Finn after Rey refused the weapon when it was calling to her. However, Rey later claimed its possession during the fight with Ben Solo in the forest of Starkiller Base. This weapon is powered by a blue kyber crystal. It was later presented to Luke by Rey as a sign he was needed once again, but he wanted nothing to with it.
Lightsaber Pike: In Star Wars (2020) #6, Luke found the still functional half of a yellow-bladed lightsaber pike inside of a Jedi outpost on Tempes. Luke used it to fight the spirit of the Grand Inquisitor, who had been bound to the ruins for eternity by Vader to serve as a trap for unsuspecting travelers. Luke eventually fixed the damaged end of the saber and continued using it to defend himself against foes like Commander Ellian Zahra. Eventually he stopped using this lightsaber and constructed his green one.
Second Lightsaber: After Luke lost his father's lightsaber on Bespin, he eventually returned home to Tatooine, where he not only planned to rescue Han Solo, but also to return to Obi-Wan's abandoned hut on Tatooine and construct a new lightsaber. His new lightsaber was based on his first mentor's weapon. After completing the weapon, he placed it in R2-D2. The weapon was seen throughout all of Star Ware: Return of the Jedi, and Luke used it throughout his life. Unlike its predecessor, this lightsaber has a thick green blade that is powered by a kyber crystal. After Ben Solo fell to the dark side, Luke brought his and Leia's lightsabers going into exile on the planet Ahch-Towhere he had stopped using the lightsaber. After Luke's death, his lightsaber was gathered alongside the rest of his belongings by the Caretakers and stored on the island's repository.
Lightsaber Shoto: To circumvent the difficulties by the Sith Lady Lumiya's light whip, Luke constructed a lightsaber shoto with a red blade to even the odds. While skilled in dual wielding, he overall prefers the single-bladed style.

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.
