Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker was a male human jedi active during the Galactic Civil War. He was an important piece in the Rebel Alliance who worked to restore democracy in the galaxy after the rise of the Galactic Empire. At one point he was the only jedi in the galaxy who were sought by both the Empire and later the First Order to be destroyed. He was the son of Anakin Skywalker.

## History

### 19 BBY

Luke Skywalker was born in a facility located on the asteroid Polis Massa from his mother Padmé Amidala who died right after childbirth. As Luke's father was a strong jedi, who were group-members that the Galactic Empire was looking for to kill, Luke would have the ability to become a jedi himself in the future. Therefore jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi took the new-born Luke to the sand-planet Tatooine where he would remain hidden from the Empire at his uncle Owen Lars and uncle's wife Beru Lars while Obi-Wan would watch over Luke in secret until the day he thought that Luke would be ready for training.

### 0 BBY

Nineteen years after his birth, Luke had grown to be a typical farmboy at Owen's farm. Although, he was not happy with the life he had and were eager to some day join the imperial academy, not knowing that he was in fact sought after by the Empire. Although, Owen tried to convince Luke to stay at the farm which led to arguments between the two. Luke instead went outside to watch the double-sunset of Tatooine, dreaming to one day leave the planet.

One day, a group of jawas came by in their sandcrawler to sell droids to the farm, and Owen chose the protocol droid C-3PO and the astromech droid R5-D4. Luke told the droids to come with him, but R5 broke down very soon after being chosen. C-3PO advised Luke to choose another particular astromech droid that was named R2-D2, and Luke asked his uncle about it who approved. C-3PO and R2 then followed Luke to begin their duties.

Luke later spent time with his new two droids inside one of the working huts as he needed to repair R2-D2, but after finding and trying to remove something that seemed to be stuck onto the droid he made R2 play a holographic message involving a young woman who were desperate for help from someone named ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. The message kept replaying as Luke tried to comprehent what this all meant. He soon wondered if Obi-Wan Kenobi could be a relative to old Ben Kenobi who lived close by.

Luke later brought his two droids to go look for Ben in his X-34 landspeeder, and he stopped by at a desert location where he saw a Bantha through his binoculars, implying that dangerous sand people are nearby. Luke was then unexpectedly attacked by one before he could even put his binoculars down, and was left unconscious. Although, he soon woke up next to Ben who had saved him from the creatures using a force-scream that scared them away. Luke fastly started to talk about the message from the woman inside R2-D2, and if Ben knew someone named Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ben explained that he certainly does as he's the same person as Obi-Wan, just that he calls himself by a different name after all these years to stay anonymous from the Empire. Luke and his droids were later brought to Obi-Wans hutt to discuss further.

At Obi-Wans hutt Obi-Wan started to explain that he knew Lukes father, and that his father was killed by Obi-Wans old pupil Darth Vader who turned to evil and the Empire. Obi-Wan then proceeded to show Luke his fathers old lightsaber that Luke employed, revealing the lightsabers laser-blade. This was shocking but important news to Luke, who brought Obi-Wan and his droids back to Lukes hutt to talk to Owen and Beru. Although, the only thing they found there was smoke coming out from the hutt and the remains of Owens and Berus dead bodies. Luke was shocked but stayed calm after witnessing this, and after finding the jawas that sold the droids to Lukes family earlier, all dead, Obi-Wan made the conclusion that this had been done by the Empire because of R2-D2 and his important message that both the jawas and Lukes family had been in possession of. Luke knew that he now had to follow Obi-Wan on the mission to save the woman in the message, who was an important person in the Rebel Alliace named Leia Organa. Her home-planet was Alderaan, and that was Luke's and Obi-Wan's next destination once they could get a ride there, something Obi-Wan thought they could find in the city Mos Eisley.

After Obi-Wan introduced Luke to Mos Eisley on a cliff in the distance of the city, telling Luke that it's a place of scum and tyranny, they entered the city on Luke's landspeeder. They were soon stopped by imperial sandtroopers, but Obi-Wan used a force mind trick on the troopers to let himself, Luke and the droids pass without trouble. After this they stopped outside the Mos Eisley cantina where they entered, but C-3PO and R2 weren't allowed to follow inside. After this Luke sat down to have a drink but got in trouble with two thugs who didn't like and threatened to kill Luke for no apparent reason. They later attacked Luke and threw him on the floor but were themselves in turn attacked by Obi-Wan who used his lightsaber. Everyone in the bar froze to watch the event but soon continued with their own business as Obi-Wan helped Luke up from the floor. Obi-Wan then brought Luke to a table where a smuggler named Han Solo sat together with his wookie-friend Chewbacca. They discussed how Han could help Obi-Wan and Luke off the planet in Han's ship The Millenium Falcon, that Han bragged about to have finished the Kessel run in less than 14 parsecs. Although, Han said that it would cost much, but luckily Obi-Wan was able to afford it. Obi-Wan then brought Luke to the Falcon outside with Han and Chewbacca soon following after them.

At the Falcon the group met up with the crime-lord Jabba the Hutt who craved Han of money that Han apparently owed him but hadn't payed. Although, Han managed to buy himself more time followed by Jabba and his gang leaving the scene. Although, as Luke, Han and the others took off in the ship they were attacked by several sandtroopers who had gotten word about the trouble in the bar earlier. Although, the group managed to leave the planet in the Falcon safely to take off to Alderaan.

On their journey to Alderaan, Obi-Wan took the oppurtunity to train Luke in the ways of the force, something that Han was very sceptical of. Luke held his fathers lightsaber as he practiced to protect himself with it from a training remote that fired unlethal shots. Luke failed however, but Obi-Wan insisted that Luke had to rely more on the force instead of his eyes. Therefore Obi-Wan put a helmet on Luke which covered Luke eyes, and by using the force on a second try, he managed to deflect all shots from the remote. Soon Obi-Wan started to feel ill to Luke's worry, and Obi-Wan told Luke that he had felt millions of voices screaming out in terror to suddendly be silenced.

Soon the group reached the location of Alderaan, but instead of finding the planet they only found chuncks of rock everywhere, implying that the planet somehow had been destroyed. They also found a lone imperial TIE Fighter flying through space that they decided to follow, and Luke implied that it was heading for a small moon up ahead. Although, Obi-Wan implied that the object up ahead was no moon, but a space station. Han tried to change course but the station started to pull the ship in, and soon the Falcon was led into the stations hangar where it landed to be inspected by the imperial troops there. Luke and the others hurried to hide inside empty storage rooms in the floor of the ship as the imperials entered, and soon they attacked the imperial troopers from behind and stole their armor to come back out disguised as imperial stormtroopers that had arrested Chewbacca inside the ship. When safe, the group hurried to a smaller room further inside the station where they discussed what to do next, and Obi-Wan told the others to wait as he left them inside the room to handle new business there. Although, after checking data, Luke found out that Leia is imprisoned onboard the station, and he managed to make Han and Chewbacca follow him to rescue her as R2 and C-3PO waited inside the room.

After going through and riding in an elevator onboard the station Luke, Han and Chewbacca finally reached the prison cells where princess Leia was held captive. The group killed all the guards in the prison and Luke entered Leia's cell with the stormtrooper armor on, and she pointed out his short height for being a stormtrooper. Although, he took off the helmet and told her that his name is Luke Skywalker and that he has come to rescue her. Han warned Luke that more guards are on their way, and Leia grabbed a blaster and joined the group against the stormtroopers that later arrived. The quantity of their enemies were too high however, and the groups only way out was to one by one jump down a pipe that led to a trash compactor.

Inside the trash compactor the group started arguing, and they soon felt movement in the dirty water under them. That's when a tentacle of a Dianoga grabbed Luke underwater, but he was saved by his friends who shot the creature which freed Luke from it's grip. When they thought the major dangers were over, the walls of the compactor started moving inwards which created panic within the group who tried everything they could to keep the walls separated so they wouldn't be smashed. Luke hurried to contact R2 and C-3PO about the problem and from the control room the two droids finally managed to stop the compacting which saved the group. The droids managed to have the door to the compactor opened so the group could leave to go back to the Falcon. On the way there however, they would meet several obstacles and troops trying to eliminate them.

After a hard trip the group managed to get back to the ship-hangar where the Falcon still stood, and as they entered it Luke happened to see how Obi-Wan stood behind a big glass window with his lightsaber employed against Darth Vader himself. Obi-Wan looked at Luke, smiled and allowed himself to be cut down by Vader to Lukes horror. Stormtroopers started to shoot at Luke who shot back and after he entered the Falcon he and the remaining group tried to leave the station as fast as they could, which they were successfull in because of the deactivation of the reactor pull.

On the Falcon Leia supported Luke who was sad after what he had witnessed. He had now lost his mentor and friend to the same man that Luke was told had killed his father years earlier.

Leia led the Falcon to Yavin IV where her base was located, containing dozens of more rebels to the Empire. They sought people to join their navy, and Luke was quick to allow himself become an X-Wing pilot in their Alliance. A meeting was later held inside the base about a coming attack on the imperial station, whose name was in fact the Death Star, and this attack would destroy the station once and for all. It was explained that the Death Star had a weakness in it's exhaust port, and that firing inside the port would lead to the reactor core and blow the station up from inside. The pilot Wedge Antilles was sceptical of the mission succeeding because of the small size of the exhaust port, but Luke encouraged him by explaining that he used to hit womp rats back on Tatooine that themselves weren't much bigger than the port was explained to be.

Later the rebel pilots prepared for the mission in the hangar of the base, entering several X-wings and Y-wings. Luke decided to have R2 accompanying him as an aid in the attack, and Luke met his old friend Biggs Darklighter in the hangar who were happy to see Luke again. Luke was given the call sign red 5. Han came by to say goodbye to Luke, telling Luke that he will leave to pay off his debts to Jabba. Both Leia and Luke were dissapointed about Han's decision, but Luke soon accepted it.

Soon the attack on the Death Star began, and Luke's squadron were the ones appointed to fire into the exhaust port and destroy the station. To get there they had to go through a trench, but not without imperial forces trying to stop them. During the trench run many members of Luke's squadron were killed, including Biggs. Vader and two imperial TIE fighters also joined the fight in their ships, and because of Vader's strong piloting skills he took down many of the rebels. Wedge's ship was damaged so he was forced to go back to Yavin IV which left Luke as the only remaining member in his squadron. Vader was close to shooting Luke down but Han and Chewbacca unexpectedly showed up in the falcon and shot Vader off course. Luke was happy to see Han return, but was still worried about if he would miss the exhaust port. Although he soon heard a voice in his head, sounding like Obi-Wan, that told Luke to use the force. Luke closed his eyes, focused and managed to fire his missiles into the exhaust port before getting out of there together with the other survivors of the fight, followed by the Death Star exploding. The Rebel Alliance had won the battle.

Afterwards, a ceremony was held in the rebel base where Luke and Han received two medals from Leia for their heroic acts, in front of the many rebel soldiers there. Luke, Han and Chewbacca all decided to stay with the Rebellion.

### 3 ABY

3 years after the destruction of the Death Star, a new rebel base named Echo Base had been built on the snow-planet Hoth. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2 and C-3PO had all been stationed there and the rebels there rode on tauntauns to get anywhere in the snowy climate outside the base.

One day, fairly far away from the base, Luke and Han were outside riding two tauntauns. Han told Luke that he would go back but Luke decided to stay for a while more to explore a bit further. Although, to his surprise, he and his tauntaun were attacked by a snowmonster, a wampa, that killed the tauntaun and left Luke unconscious.

Luke woke up upside down in the wampa's cave. The wampa had left Luke hanging on the roof as he ate the flesh of Luke's tauntaun. Luke discovered that his lightsaber was right below him in the snow, and so he used the force to try grabbing it to him. Although, as Luke was far from fully trained, this was harder than Luke had hoped for and soon the wampa saw that Luke was still alive. It started running towards Luke who succeeded in grabbing the lightsaber in time to free himself and cut off the wampa's arm. Luke escaped as the wampa was in pain to meet the unbearable cold outside.

After walking for a while it became harder and harder for him because of Hoth's extreme temperatures, and soon he could only crawl. Suddendly a transparent figure appeared before him that resembled his old master Obi-Wan Kenobi. The figure told Luke to go to the Dagobah system where he will learn from master Yoda before dissapearing again. Right afterwards Han came back on his tauntaun and found Luke laying in the snow, and the tauntaun soon died because of the cold weather. Although, Han took this as an oppurtunity to cut the tauntaun's belly open with Luke's lightsaber and lay Luke inside til the two were rescued by the rebel pilot Zev Senesca, who was riding in one of the flying snowspeeders from the base.

When Luke and Han were returned to the base Luke was quickly put into a bacta tank to recover from the injuries he had taken from the cold. Afterwards he was greeted by his friends, and Leia even kissed him to Han's jealousy.

Soon after Luke's recovery it was discovered that an imperial probe droid had found the base and was located right outside. After eliminating the droid the rebels saw imperial walkers coming at the base from the distance, now planning to attack their base. Luke, Zev, Wedge and the other rebel pilots at the base prepared their snowspeeders to answer the attack, with Luke having Dak Ralter as his co-pilot. The imperial walkers were AT-AT's with heavy guns and to take them down Luke and the others used the wires on the snowspeeders to wire the walkers legs and bring them down, followed by shooting them to bits. Although, Luke's speeder was heavily fired at resulting in the death of Dak and soon the crash-landing of Luke in the snow. An AT-AT walker was on it's way to smash the speeder on the ground but Luke hurried to open the cockpit and later tried to retrieve Dak's body that was stuck. Although, Luke didn't have time to try further and left the speeder and Dak's body to be crushed by the AT-AT's leg. Instead, Luke used wire to get himself on the AT-AT, open one of it's ports and throwing in a bomb. Luke managed to get out of there and the AT-AT soon exploded killing everyone onboard.

After this Luke hurried back to the base, that was about to be invaded by the imperial troops, and hurried to bring R2 with him in an X-wing before leaving the planet safely. He was now going for the Dagobah system to find Yoda and to say stuff without mouth movement.

After arriving at the planet Dagobah in it's system, landing on the planet would prove difficult. Luke and R2 landed in a lake on the swampy planet but both of them turned out okay. Luke opened the cockpit and jumped on to land, but as R2 deployed himself from the ship he landed in the lake. Luke turned worried but saw R2's visor showing up from the lake, but soon Luke also saw a creature in the lake that dragged R2 underwater, only to spit the droid out again in the air so he landed next to Luke. Luke began to wash R2 off after the events and tried to forget about the dangers to find Yoda, but soon Luke heard a graspy voice talking to him. Luke aimed his gun at the voice and saw a green, big-eared little creature with a stick that quickly implied that he means no harm. The creature later wanted to inspect Luke's flashlight but was stopped by R2 resulting in the creature beating R2 with his stick multiple times to get it back. Luke stopped this and asked the creature about Yoda, and the creature quickly implied that he's familiar with Yoda and would lead Luke there. Although, first Luke were invited for supper in the creatures small hut. Luke grew impatient and threw away the food, resulting in the creature raising his head to tell someone that the boy is too impatient to be trained. The voice of Obi-Wan answered back, asking the creature if he himself were any different. That's when Luke understood that the creature in fact is Yoda himself, talking to Obi-Wan's force-ghost. Luke changed his mood quickly and told Yoda that he's ready for training, but Yoda also implied that Luke is too old to begin the training. Although, Yoda came to be convinced and took Luke as his apprentice anyway.

From this event Luke would come to train with Yoda for a long time, learning tricks and lifting objects using the force. Luke asked Yoda if the dark side of the force is stronger than the light, to which Yoda said no. Although, he explained to Luke that the dark side is more deceiving. After training for some time Yoda brought Luke to a dark cave which Yoda implied to be strong in the dark side. He told Luke to enter which Luke did, and he started to feel eerie inside the cave and soon saw a black figure with heavy breathing walking towards him. The figure looked like Darth Vader, and it employed it's red lightsaber resulting in Luke employing his blue lightsaber. Luke cut off the head off the figure, only to reveal Luke's face inside the figures helmet. Luke hurried back to Yoda outside the cave after this experience.

After training with Yoda for a while more, Luke started to sense that his friends were in danger somewhere. Luke grew more and more worried about this, and started to talk about leaving Yoda to save his friends. Yoda was strongly against this however, but he could not convince Luke to stay and accepted Luke's decision. To get to his friends Luke needed his ship that was still stuck in the lake. Luke assured Yoda that he will try to use his new force-powers to lift the ship, but Yoda implied that it's either doing or not doing it, there is no try. Luke was unsuccesful, implying that the ship is too big. Yoda implied that size matters not, and he used the force to lift the ship in front of Luke, placing it on the ground next to the lake. Luke was amazed by this, but quickly continued his plans and got into the ship. He told Yoda that he will return, and took R2 with him and left the planet in the X-wing. He took his course to the planet Bespin, where he could sense that his friends were located.

After arriving in Cloud City on Bespin, Luke discovered that the city was under Imperial occupation. He sneaked around in the corridors to find his friends, but was seen and shot at by the bounty hunter Boba Fett, who was working for Vader in the city. Although, Luke managed to get away, and soon faced Vader in the darker rooms of the building he was in. Vader employed his lightsaber and Luke employed his, and so a lightsaber fight began between the two. Vader played around with Luke because of his superior skills compared to Luke, and led him to a narrow bridge where he cut off Luke's hand, making Luke's lightsaber and hand fall down in the deep below. Luke screamed in pain and started to climb backwards to the end of the bridge, holding on to a ledge. Vader talked to Luke, explaining that Obi-Wan never told Luke what really happened to his father. Luke had been taught that Vader killed his father, but there Vader explained to Luke that Vader and Luke's father in fact is the same person. Luke screamed out in denial, but Vader told Luke to search his feelings where he would find that this was indeed the truth. Vader gave Luke and offer of joining him, so they can overthrow The Emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son. Luke thought about it, but instead decided to take his own life by jumping down from the bridge into the vast deep below. Although, Luke was instead sucked into an air-lock and slided down the vents where he soon was to be located outside underneath the city, with the clouds below him. Luke held on to an antenna so he wouldn't fall down, and started calling for his friends to save him. Then, as if his friends had heard him, The Millenium Falcon showed up to save Luke. He was brought into the ship by Leia for treatment, and while escaping his could sense his father calling to him.

Luke was later brought to the rebel navy that had escaped to the outer territories beyond the galaxy, and there Luke was given a new, mechanical hand with synthetic skin. He found out that Han had been captured by the Empire on Bespin, frozen into carbonite, and sent to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine. Luke later joined his friends on the rebel ship, and watched the galaxy in the distance from one of the ship's windows.

### 4 ABY

A year after Han's capture, Luke had grown to be a nearly full-learned jedi with a new green-bladed lightsaber. He and his friends prepared to rescue Han from Jabba, which would be a hard mission. Luke first offered his two droids R2 and C-3PO in exchange for Han, but Jabba kept the droids anyway without giving Han back. Leia and Chewbacca were sent into the palace where Leia managed to free Han from the carbonite, but the whole group was later imprisoned after being discovered by Jabba.

Luke later entered Jabba's palace himself hooded in a black cloak. He force-choked two of Jabba's Gamorrean guards who tried to stop him, and after this Luke entered Jabba's throne room to talk to Jabba in person. Although, as Luke talked to Jabba he stood on one of Jabba's traps which Jabba employed on Luke. This made Luke and one of Jabba's Gamorrean gaurds fall down a pit with seemingly no escape. Then a big gate opened, and out came a huge rancor, that were monstrous flesh-eaters. The rancor grabbed the Gamorrean and ate him in front of Luke who paniced. Luke threw a large bone into the rancor's mouth but the rancor destroyed it with it's huge jaws, and as it did so Luke hurried to the other side of the gate. The rancor turned to follow Luke but that's when Luke threw a rock at the gate-button which made the gate fall down on the rancor which crushed it to death.

Luke, Han and Chewbacca were sent to execution while Leia, R2 and C-3PO were kept by Jabba as slaves. Luke had put his lightsaber inside R2 by secret, and he was prepared to use this to save himself later.

The people in Jabba's palace followed inside Jabba's sail barge to get to the execution spot. This would be to throw Luke, Han and Chewbacca into the Sarlacc pit. The Sarlacc was a big monster whose mouth stuck up from the ground, and it also had tentacles that could grab on to victims. Jabba and his people watched as Luke was the first one to be executed. Luke was led to a ledge by Jabba's guards where he were to be thrown down, but Luke watched R2 who were ready to save Luke before this could happen. Luke jumped down but grabbed his hands onto the ledge and swinged himself back up before grabbing his lightsaber that was sent from him in the air by R2. Luke used this to kill many of Jabba's guards and also saved Han and Chewbacca which caused panic. Boba Fett, who also was present, attacked Luke but was beat down by the jedi and later killed by Han. Luke jumped from the execution ships to the sail barge where he took down more of Jabba's guards while climbing to the top of the barge. There he took himself to the sail barge's big gun and also met Leia who had managed to strangle Jabba to death to free herself. They used the gun to shoot down at the barge and Luke and his group then jumped back onto the execution ships before the barge exploded, which killed everyone onboard. Han's old friend Lando was also present during the execution where he was disguised as one of Jabba's guards, and Luke, Han, Leia, Lando and Chewbacca picked up R2 and C-3PO, that had jumped into the sand, before leaving the scene to go back to the rebel fleet up in space. While Luke's friends continued to the fleet, Luke split from them in his X-Wing to once again go to Dagobah and meet Yoda.

On Dagobah Yoda had grew ill, and put himself to bed soon after Luke's arrival. Luke explained to Yoda about how powerful he had become, asking Yoda if he is now a jedi. Although, Yoda explained that Luke first have to face Vader before becoming a jedi. Yoda then became weaker and weaker in his bed, uttering the words that there is another Skywalker before dying. His body then dissappeared as Luke watched.

Luke left the hutt and met the force-ghost of Obi-Wan outside. Luke asked him why he had lied about Vader all those years earlier, with the ghost telling Luke that his story about Luke's father was true from a certain point of view, implying that Luke's father really did die that day by getting replaced by evil. Luke then returned to his X-Wing and went to the rebel fleet himself.

Once after arriving at the rebel fleet, Luke was greated by Leia. A meeting was held among the rebels discussing an attack against the Empire's new superweapon; Death Star II. Although, the superweapons shield had to be taken down first before attacking, and this shield reactor was located on the forest moon of Endor, that was occupied by Imperial forces. Although, an imperial shuttle had been stolen that could get a team of rebels down to the moon safely without being noticed. Luke, his friends and several other rebels were the ones to go through with this mission, with Luke and his friends being located within the cockpit.

While using the shuttle to go through with the mission, Luke could sense his father onboard another ship nearby. Either way, access was granted and the crew safely landed the shuttle onboard Endor, relieving the rebels.

On Endor the team started to walk in line to find something they could use to lead them to the shield reactor. They discovered an imperial Scout trooper nearby who Han jumped, but there were more troopers who tried to escape on their speeders. Luke and Leia got onto the left-over speeder and followed the escaping troopers, and this led to a long chase throughout the woods of Endor. More troopers joined the chase from behind which caused Luke to force-jump off of his and Leias speeder and take over one of the speeders behind while Leia started piloting Luke's original speeder Although, Leia soon fell off her speeder in the chase and was therefore stranded in the woods. Although, Luke continued his chase after the remaining troopers, who all soon came to be eliminated, either by Luke or by crashing into trees ahead of them, because of the hard piloting terrain.

Luke, Han, Chewbacca, 3PO, and R2 soon regrouped to look for the missing Leia, and walked right into a trap. It was a net that rolled itself upwards, connected to a tree, with all five of them captured inside it. Although, R2 managed to break the net with his built in saw, which made Luke and the others fall down to the ground, only to be captured by surrounding creatures of the moon, called Ewoks. Although, they mysteriously started to bow to 3PO and worshipped him like a god, before taking them all to their Ewok village among the trees.

At the Ewok village, the Ewoks gave 3PO a high chair and prepared to cook Luke and his friends for dinner. Han begged for 3PO to make the Ewoks stop, but 3PO struggled with this. That's when Luke used his force-powers to lift 3PO's chair into the air, tricking the Ewoks that 3PO did that himself to threaten the Ewoks that they had to let his friends go. The Ewoks finally listened and freed Luke and the others.

At evening, many of the Ewoks gathered to hear 3PO tell stories about the war and the evil Darth Vader, and Luke soon went out to find Leia outside by herself. Luke stood next to Leia and told her that he can sense Vaders presence on the moon with them, and that he has to go alone to face Vader. Luke also asked Leia if she remembers her real mother to which she replied that she was a sad woman. Luke then revealed the important fact to Leia, which was that she is the other Skywalker, his own sister. Leia was surpisingly not very surprised about it, and told Luke that she knew this, and that she somehow always had known this. After this moment Luke said his goodbyes to Leia before leaving to face their father, Darth Vader.

After some time Luke revealed himself to the imperials on the moon and let himself be captured. An officer and a couple stormtroopers brought Luke into an elevator that led up to a ramp, where he finally met Vader. The two went to speak in private, and Luke referred to Vader as his father, to which Vader knew that Luke had finally accepted the truth. Luke told Vader that there's still good within the sith lord, and also mentioned Vader's old name, Anakin. Vader was upset by this and said that this name did not mean anything to him anymore, and that it's too late for him to turn back to the light. Vader made sure to Luke that they both soon would go to Death Star II to meet the Emperor at his throne room, and so they left Endor to go to the station, where a battle was fought between the rebel fleet and the Death Star II fleet.

At the Death Star II, Luke and Vader entered another elevator and reached the level of the Emperor's throne room. They entered the room where the Emperor sat upon his chair and told his Royal Guards to leave. The Emperor quickly began his mission to turn Luke to the dark side, to take Vader's place at the Emperor's side. Luke began to be taunted and made sure that his friends are doomed, and the Emperor ordered his men to fire the super-laser built within the Death Star which easily destroyed one of the rebel ships within the battle outside, in front of Luke, showing Luke that this Death Star was much more powerful than it's predecessor. Luke grew angrier to the Emperor's satisfaction, and Luke was thinking about taking his lightsaber, that was placed next to the Emperor on his chair, to strike the Emperor down, which the seemingly unarmed Emperor knew and encouraged Luke to do to further fall down the dark path. Luke finally gave in and force-grabbed his lightsaber to strike the Emperor but was stopped by Vader's red lightsaber blade just in time, and the Emperor laughed. So a lightsaber fight began between Luke and Vader, and Luke kicked Vader down the stairs. Vader raised himself again and Luke jumped onto a platform held up by two skinny pillars. Luke told Vader that he has no intention to hurt him, and so Vader told Luke that he will meet his destiny before throwing his lightsaber towards Luke who managed to avoid being hit by it. It took down the platform and Luke jumped down and hid himself. Vader started looking for his son while speaking to him in a taunting manner. Vader could soon feel that Luke actually had a twin sister, and that she perhaps could be turned if Luke would not. This angered Luke greatly who went out from hiding, screaming out that his sister never will turn, before attacking Vader. Luke made Vader back away as they fought with their sabers, and Luke, with his great anger, led Vader to a ledge, next to a deep shaft, where he managed to make Vader fall to the ground before repeatedly swinging at Vader with his saber who blocked Luke with his own. Although, after striking enough times Luke managed to cut his father's mechanical hand and lightsaber off, leaving Vader defenseless. Vader raised his other hand to beg for mercy, and so Luke calmed down. Luke then looked at his own mechanical hand and realised what he had done, and that he had acted purely with his anger. The Emperor laughed as he walked down the stairs, telling Luke to kill his father and join the dark side. Luke turned around and neglected the Emperor's wishes by throwing away his saber, followed by telling the Emperor that he will never join the dark side, and that he is a jedi like his father before him. The Emperor's mood quickly changed and his facial expression turned into anger. The Emperor understood what Luke had chosen and raised his hands to strike Luke with force-lightning. Luke fell to the floor as he was being electrifed, and Vader raised himself again to stand next to the Emperor. The Emperor stopped for a moment, and made sure to Luke that this is the end of him before continuing to torture him even harder with lightning. Luke begged for his father to save him, and soon the lightning unexpectedly stopped striking him. Luke raised his head and saw as Vader raised the Emperor up in the air, and the Emperor screamed as he was still striking lightning which electrified both himself and Vader. Vader brought the Emperor to the shaft where he threw the Emperor down, and the Emperor screamed as he fell to his death. The shaft reacted to this and poured out a bunch of energy that lightened up the room as Luke raised himself to get to his damaged father. Vader's mechanical breath was now much weaker, and Luke dragged Vader to a ship in a hangar full of imperials. Luke activated the ships opening and Vader stopped Luke for a moment. Vader told Luke to take Vader's mask off, so he can see Luke with his own eyes, but Luke was unsure about this as he knew that his father would die if he did so. Vader knew that he would die either way because of his damages, and so Luke finally agreed. He slowly removed all the parts of Vader's mask and saw his father's face for the first time, and it was grey, bald and damaged. Vader told Luke to leave, and also told Luke that he was right about his father, and to tell his sister this. Vader then died in Luke's arms as Luke told his father that he won't leave him, but there was nothing left for Luke to do. Luke brought his fathers body onto the ship before leaving, and right after this and the destruction of the shield generator, the rebels managed to reach the Death Star II's reactor and destroyed it, resulting in the destruction of the battle station and the death of everybody onboard, whose huge casualties ended the Empire once and for all.

Afterwards Luke arrived back on Endor where he held a private funeral for his father. Luke took a flame and set his fathers body on fire, and so he watched as the flames cremated his fathers body in the dark.

After this the galaxy celebrated the fall of the Empire and to have been freed from it's harsh rule, and on Endor the Ewoks held a party on their own where many of the rebels were present, including Wedge Antilles, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, 3PO, R2 and Luke himself. Luke then saw what nobody else could, which was the two force ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda. They were then joined by a third force ghost in the shape of his father in his younger days, before the turn to the dark side and the scarring of his body, and the three force ghosts greeted and smiled at Luke. The Rebel Alliance had finally won the war, and they would later form a republic that would come to be known as the New Republic, while Luke started to train a new generation of jedi.

### 34 ABY

In 34 ABY, a new threat had been formed from the ashes of the Empire. This was the First Order, led by a being known as Supreme Leader Snoke. Snoke had deceived the force-sensitive Ben Solo, who was the nephew of Luke and the son of Leia and Han Solo, born after the end of the Empire. Ben got a new name from Snoke, and so Ben came to be known as Kylo Ren. Kylo killed the students of Luke and together with Snoke they planned to hunt down and kill Luke as well. That's when Luke went into hiding on the planet Ahch-To, that was a planet mostly covered in water with islands. He did not tell anyone where he was, not even his friends. Although, he did leave a map for his friends to find at some point.

After hiding for some time, Luke was one day found by his friends and a girl named Rey. She climbed the island where Luke was located, and then she reached out her hand where she had the actual lightsaber that Luke once lost on Bespin after getting his hand cut off many years ago. The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking a word.

## Personality

In Luke's younger years he was more stressed but as he progressed in the jedi arts he naturally became calmer and more peaceful.

## Powers and abilities

After training to become a jedi, Luke learned how to force-grab and force-choke enemies. He became skilled with a lightsaber, and soon even managed to win over Darth Vader in a duel. Luke was also able to resist the dark side, not falling for the manipulation of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Luke was also particularly good at coping with the loss of loved ones, most likely because of how much of the jedi that was in him, even though he showed a stronger grief after the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi, that he had developed a special relationship with before Obi-Wan's death. Luke was also a good pilot, a trait from his father.
