Luke Skywalker
Luke's childhood was spent helping
his aunt
and uncle on their moisture
farm and becoming
a skillful pilot in his
T-16 Skyhopper, shooting
womp rats with good friends
such as Biggs
Darklighter. He had hoped
to enter the
Academy with Biggs, but
his uncle Owen Lars
has held him back. Destiny brings
the affairs of
the galaxy to young Skywalker's
doorstep in the
form of two droids that
his uncle purchases,
C-3PO and R2-D2. Thus
starts an adventure
that takes Luke
on a voyage of self-discovery,
with his bravery and commitment to the light
side
of the Force tested at every step.
Luke constantly faces challenges that would
test any mortal: The responsibility
for either
destroying
the Empire's super weapon, the
Death Star, or seeing it
destroy the backbone
of the Rebellion;
learning patience at the hands
of Jedi Master Yoda, yet
having to choose
between completing his training
or trying to
rescue his imperiled
friends; facing the
horrifying truth of his
parentage, and then
instantly deciding what
path to take; and finally
taking the nearly unimaginable
risk that there
was still some goodness
deep within the dark
soul of one of the galaxy's most
evil warriors.
