Over three decades later, Hamill returned as Luke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, cameoing in The Force Awakens (2015) before playing a major office in The Final Jedi (2017) and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).

The son of fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (turned Sith Lord Darth Vader) and Padmé Amidala, Luke is the twin brother of Rebellion leader Princess Leia and eventual brother-in-law of the smuggler Han Solo.

Concept and creation

Serial creator George Lucas considered diverse characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars picture. This included a lx-year-sometime grizzled war hero, a Jedi primary, a dwarf, and a woman.^{[ii] [3]} In an interview about his early drafts, Lucas said:

The showtime [version] talked about a princess and an old full general. The second version involved a father, his son, and his daughter; the daughter was the heroine of the film. Now the daughter has go Luke, Mark Hamill's grapheme. There was as well the story of two brothers where I transformed one of them into a sister. The older brother was imprisoned, and the young sister had to rescue him and bring him back to their dad.^[4]

Though Luke'southward surname was "Skywalker" in Lucas's 1973 treatment of The Star Wars,^[5] information technology was changed to "Starkiller" in subsequent drafts, at ane point featuring in the title (The Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Starkiller). The "Starkiller" surname remained for the first few months of production;^{[half-dozen] [7]} Hamill used the name "Luke Starkiller" the sole time he referred to himself during filming, in a scene during which a stormtrooper helmet obscures his mouth;^[8] this was dubbed "Skywalker" in the moving-picture show. "Starkiller" was dropped due to what Lucas called "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson.^[9]

In an culling ending pitched past Lucas for the Star Wars trilogy'due south terminal picture show, Return of the Jedi (1983), Luke assumed his male parent's office as Darth Vader after the latter's death and intending to dominion in his identify. Though Lawrence Kasdan favored the thought, Lucas ultimately declined, since the films were made for children.^[10] Another decision to the pic featured the character disappearing into the wilderness akin to "Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns."^[eleven]

Co-ordinate to Marking Hamill, during the filming of the original motion picture, Lucas asked him if he would reprise the role for a cameo when he was in his 60s to pass the torch to the side by side generation. In 1983, Hamill stated that his render to the franchise would exist "either be another plane of existence or not the aforementioned grapheme".^[12] Hamill learned of the sequel trilogy in mid-2012 at a Star Wars Celebration during lunch when Lucas told him one was in development.^[13]

Luke's lack of screen fourth dimension in The Strength Awakens was due to concerns by screenwriter Michael Arndt that his presence would hateful the audience would take less interest in protagonist Rey, leading to an agreement that he be removed from the screen and instead become a plot device.^{[fourteen] [15]} Hamill attended meetings for script readings, and helped muffle Luke'southward role in the film; instead of dialogue, he read phase directions. Co-ordinate to managing director and co-author J. J. Abrams, this immune Hamill to remain involved and his reading helped make a "better experience for everyone".^[16]

After filming The Force Awakens, Hamill shaved his beard to portray the Trickster in The Flash, then let information technology grow back to pic The Last Jedi.^[xiii] Co-ordinate to concept designer Christian Alzmann, Luke's advent in that pic was partly inspired by that of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979).^[17]

Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor is my attempt to get the Eu back to its pre-Zahn roots -- specifically, to evoke memories of my all-time favorite Star Wars books, Brian Daley'southward Han Solo novels.

Comic books

Luke Skywalker appears in the Curiosity-published Star Wars comics adaptations of the original trilogy, as well equally an ongoing serial that ran from 1977 to 1986. When Dark Horse acquired the license two years later, he appeared in numerous projects based on the franchise too. In Star Wars: Legacy, set 125 years later the events of the original films, Luke appears every bit a spirit in the Force to his descendant Cade Skywalker and persuades him to in one case again go a Jedi in order to defeat the evil Darth Krayt and his burgeoning Sith empire.

Characterization

Psychoanalytic

Each of the Star Wars characters instantiates one of the archetypes in Joseph Campbell'southward hero's journey,^[50] with Luke Skywalker filling the hero archetype.^[51] Equally such, he is a relatable protagonist who encounters the basic struggle between practiced and evil in the same way as other heroic figures such as Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins, and Jesus Christ. Luke'due south central dilemma is the ongoing state of war between skillful and evil, both externally and internally.

Religious

Some debate that Luke mirrors fundamental values of Christianity and Abrahamic religion; Luke's journey is often compared to that of Jesus Christ. Scholars argue that Luke is a Christ-like figure, while Yoda represents a god, and Darth Vader represents the temptations of evil. Luke's struggle between skillful and evil is contrasted with that of his father, Anakin Skywalker, in a style that represents the story of the Prodigal Son.^[52]

Reception

In 2015, Luke Skywalker was selected by Empire mag equally the 50th-greatest moving picture character of all time.^[53] Empire also ranked him as the third greatest Star Wars character.^[54] Luke was as well on the ballot for the American Pic Found's 100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains.^[55] On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Luke at number 14.^[56] IGN listed Luke equally their 4th top Star Wars grapheme,^[57] and he was chosen twice by IGN'due south readers as ane of their favorite Star Wars characters.^{[58] [59]} IGN's Jesse Schedeen also picked Luke Skywalker every bit i of the characters they most wanted to appear on the Wii,^[sixty] besides every bit list Skywalker every bit one of their favorite Star Wars heroes.^[61] Schedeen also listed the character as one of the Star Wars characters they wanted to see in Soulcalibur.^[62] IGN likewise chosen the fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi one of the ultimate movie "boss battles".^[63] In a feature on speeches made by Luke Skywalker, IGN's Todd Gilchrist said that his favorite of Luke'south speeches is "I am a Jedi, like my male parent before me".^[64] UGO Networks listed Luke as 1 of their best heroes of all time,^[65] and he was voted as ane of the coolest Star Wars characters by UGO'south readers.^[66] Inventor Dean Kamen has also code-named his new prosthetic arm organization "Luke" in honor of the character.^[67] One indication of the graphic symbol's impact on fans is an elaborate fan theory, adult on the Internet since 2015, that at that place are actually 2 dissimilar Lukes in the original trilogy: the normal one and a "bigger Luke" of a slightly larger build who appears in some scenes.^[68]

Marking Hamill was nominated a Saturn Award for All-time Actor in for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars,^[69] and won the award for his portrayal in The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Terminal Jedi.^[70]

In 1976, Hamill was in a serious motorcar accident after filming Star Wars, which involved an performance on his face. Information technology was speculated that the Wampa assail at the commencement of The Empire Strikes Back was written in to explicate his facial injuries, merely George Lucas specifically disputed this in the DVD commentary of The Empire Strikes Dorsum.^[71]

In regards to Luke's portrayal in The Last Jedi, many fans expressed disappointment in how he was depicted "as a grumpy old homo whose failures had driven him into hiding" and the actions the character takes in contributing to Kylo Ren'south backstory, a stark difference in how Luke was characterized in the original trilogy.^[72] Hamill originally stated that he "pretty much fundamentally [disagreed] with every choice [The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson] made for this character," merely that he had the utmost respect for Johnson and was willing to practice his part to realize Johnson's vision.^[73] While regarding the possibility of a younger actor playing the role, Hamill expressed support towards Sebastian Stan, whose physical resemblance to a immature Hamill went viral.^[74] However he noted that child actor Jacob Tremblay would be his top choice if the story were to be focused on a very young Luke.^[75]

In 2016, when asked nearly the character's sexual orientation and if Luke could be gay, Hamill said Luke'due south sexual orientation "is meant to be interpreted by the viewer." He added, "if yous think Luke is gay, of course he is. Yous should not be ashamed of information technology. Judge Luke by his graphic symbol, not by who he loves."^[76] Hamill later said that he considered the possibility that Luke could have establish love betwixt Return of the Jedi and The Forcefulness Awakens.^[77]

Cultural impact

Luke Skywalker remains an American cultural icon. In fact, he is often used past child psychotherapists to help children to projection their thoughts and state of existence in a way that is understandable to both the child and their therapist.^[78] Some other way that therapists use Star Wars in sessions is to teach their patients that the Force represents the self-agreement that they achieve in therapy. Children are taught that they are Luke and their therapist is Obi-Wan, in that eventually, equally Luke no longer needed his mentor, they will i day no longer demand their therapist.^[79]

Star Wars has been related back to cultural events of its time, such as the Cold State of war and Nixon-era politics. The severing of Luke's paw and Darth Vader's bionic presence supposedly, co-ordinate to infinite.com, symbolize the unity of the military and amputees.^[80]
