Luke Skywalker



Luke Skywalker  is a major character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed by Mark Hamill.

Background
Luke was born Luke Amidala-Skywalker on Polis Massa to Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker with his twin sister, Leia. However, the two of them were separated and sent to live on the planet, Tatooine with their aunt and uncle, Beru and Owen Lars. Growing up, Luke had a strained relationship with his uncle and his aunt was the mother he never had. Obi Wan watched Luke grow up from afar, especially after Owen banned Obi-Wan from seeing Luke, in fear of what would happen to him.

A New Hope
Owen purchased two droids from the Jawa Traders. Luke met C-3PO and R2-D2, the duo that Luke's parents once knew a long time ago. When cleaning R2, Luke accidentally sets off a message by Princess Leia and Artoo tricks him into taking off the restraining bolt. During this time, Luke finds that Artoo has left, and he and C-3PO will go after him in the morning. Obi-Wan (going by Ben those days) saves Luke, Artoo, and Threepio from the Tuskan Raiders and takes them back to his hut, where Luke is given his father's lightsaber. Instead of revealing who his father is, Obi-Wan responds that Anakin was murdered by Darth Vader. After his aunt and uncle were killed by the Stormtroopers, Luke decides to help Ben and become a Jedi like his father.

Later, Luke blew up the Death Star. For their brave deeds in battle, Chewie, Han and Luke are given medals of honor and Luke gained the title, "Commander," in the Rebel Alliance ranks.
