# Biography

## Early Life

**Luke Skywalker** is a human male born in 19 BBY on the asteroid field of Polis Massa shortly after Order 66. His mother, Padmé Amidala, died due to losing the will to live after seeing her husband fall to the Dark Side. Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to take Luke Skywalker and Leia Skywalker and hide them, to keep them safe and hidden from their evil father, Darth Vader. (formerly known as Anakin Skywalker). Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to travel with Luke Skywalker to the planet of Tatooine where he gave him to Owen Lars, the stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker, to watch over him.

Luke Skywalker grew up on Tatooine as a moisture farmer living with his uncle, Owen Lars. One day, his uncle buys the droids R2-D2 and C3PO from the Jawas. Luke discovers a message hidden in R2-D2. The message is from Leia Organa who has been captured by the Galactic Empire. When Luke decides to go to Obi-Wan Kenobi and ask about what it could mean, Luke learns that Ben once was a Jedi and fought in the Clone Wars and that he knew his father. Kenobi also gives Anakin's old lightsaber to Luke.

Luke comes across the famous smuggler Han Solo in the Mos Eisley Cantina. They get ambushed by stormtroopers that are looking for them, which leads to them leaving the planet with Han's star ship, the *Millennium Falcon*. They get trapped in the Death Star's tractor beam.. On the Death Star, Luke, Chewbacca, Han, Obi-Wan, C-3PO and R2-D2 manage to rescue Leia Organa by using stormtrooper armor as a disguise. While making their escape, Luke witnesses Darth Vader killing Kenobi, which leads him to join the rebellion against the Empire.

## Dagobah

Luke goes to Dagobah after the destruction of the Rebel base on Hoth, where he once again had a close encounter with Darth Vader. Luke goes to Dagobah to seek the guidance of the wise Jedi Grand Master Yoda. Luke trains in the ways of the Jedi but ends up leaving before his training was complete to save his friends.

Luke later returns to Dagobah to finish his Jedi training with Master Yoda, but finds Yoda near death. In his last words, Yoda informs Luke that he has a sibling. Obi-Wan's Force ghost later confirms Luke's suspicions that Leia is Luke's sister.

## Surrendering to the Empire

Luke choses to surrender himself to Darth Vader, leading him to the throne room where he meets Emperor Palpatine for the first time. Luke Skywalker almost dies to the hands of the emperors force lightning, but Vader chose to interfere and kill the Emperor by throwing him down the Death Star's reactor shaft. However, Vader's artificial respirator sustained damage from Palpatine's lightning, and was dying. Luke took Vader to a imperial shuttle to leave the Death Star before it was destroyed. Darth Vader dies, returned to the Light, in the arms of his son.

## New Jedi Order

After the destruction of the second Death Star, the death of Emperor Palpatine, and the subsequent collapse of the Empire, Luke Skywalker founds a new Jedi academy to train new Jedi for the safety of the galaxy.

Luke's first student at his new Jedi Order is Grogu, a youngling of the same species as Yoda..

Luke later trains his nephew, Ben Solo to be a Jedi. Luke sensed a dark presence in his nephew, and attacked him in his sleep out of instinct. Ben was awoken by the green glow of Luke's lightsaber and caved in the roof of the building they were in, knocking Luke unconscious. When Luke regains consciousness, he finds his temple in flames and all of his other pupils dead or missing. Luke goes into exile and goes to a distant planet and leaves no trace but a map, which he splits into two pieces and gives them to Lor San Tekka and R2-D2. He is later found by Rey, who offers his lightsaber to him.
