- "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
- ―Luke Skywalker to Emperor Palpatine.
Luke Skywalker was a legendary war hero and Jedi who helped defeat the Axis of Empires and Coalition of Independent States during the Multiverse Wars.
Born in 19 BBY (1396 NE) as the son of the fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and the Queen and Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, Luke was raised on Tatooine and hidden from Emperor Palpatine and his father, who had recently become Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. In the first war, Skywalker's life changed forever. A chance purchase of two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, led to him to receive training in the ways of the Force from Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and to meet Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa, who was, unbeknownst to him, his twin sister.
Over the next few years, he fought in many of the most important battles of the Galactic Civil War, helping to found Rogue Squadron and fighting Imperial forces across the galaxy. In 3 ABY (1417 NE), Skywalker received Jedi training from Yoda, and learned from Vader that the Sith Lord was his father. One year later, with the support and aid of the Jedi order from the alternate universe, Skywalker focused on reviving the Jedi of his reality to aide the newly established New Republic against the Galactic Empire and the Axis of Empires and continue his training to prepare for the battle against the Sith Lords, teaching Force-sensitives about the ways of the Force at the Jedi Praxeum, fulfilling his destiny as the first of the new Jedi to inspire new hope to the Skyriver galaxy.
After several centuries of conflict, being a Jedi Master, a father, married fellow Jedi and former Emperor's Hand Mara Jade in XX (14XX NE). Whilst continuing his mission to preserve the peace of the New Republic and the Alliance during the First Multiverse War,
In the midst of reviving the Jedi Order, came numerous challenges for Skywalker and his apprentices, including the Black Fleet Crisis, the Almanian Uprising, and the lure of Waru, but Skywalker, aided by fellow Jedi and his friends, was able to overcome each trial.
Luke finally confronted both Vader and the Emperor Palpatine in the Battle of Endor in 775 ABY (2190 NE), and succeeded in turning his father back to the light side of the Force. Thanks to Skywalker, Palpatine was killed, and the Empire was dealt a crippling blow, including a rift within the Axis.
Final decades of the Galactic Civil War, Skywalker found himself, yet again, on the front lines. Nearing the end of the centuries long war, Skywalker was plunged into a dark time as some his nephews, Jacen Solo and Ben Solo, became Sith apprentices under his old adversary Lumiya and the return of Darth Sidious. His grief was further compounded by his son's treading near the dark side as well, but he continued to lead the Jedi to oppose the threat of the First Order Remnant by his nephews, now Sith Lord by the name of Darth Caedus and Kylo Ren and the birth of the Dark Empire from the remnants of the Imperial factions. With Skywalker's aid, alongside his latest apprentice Rey, who he later discovered was the granddaughter of Sidious through one of his clones. Caedus was killed by his twin sister Jaina, ultimately defeating the Sith Lord after banishing him into the void with the aid of many Jedi and turned-Sith, bringing an end to the centuries long war in his home universe in 952 ABY (2366 NE).
Throughout the succeeding decades, Skywalker helped keep peace throughout the galaxy as the New Republic slowly defeated small remnants of the Empire. When Palpatine returned in the form of several clone bodies, Skywalker in an attempt to bring the Dark Empire from winin, temporarily fell to the dark side and became the reborn Emperor's acolyte. He was later redeemed with the help of his friends, and continued with his goal of reviving the Jedi Order.
In the aftermath of the civil war, Natasi Daala ascended to the position of Chief of State and fostered a wide spread anti-Jedi sentiment resulting in tensions between the Jedi Order and her government. Daala ultimately had Skywalker arrested for dereliction of duty, and in exchange for his freedom, he and most of his family were temporarily exiled and forbidden from involving himself in the affairs of the Jedi Order, at least until he issue was resolved due to importance of his role was for the Alliance. Skywalker and his son embarked on an odyssey across the galaxy in order to discover the causes of Jacen Solo's fall to the dark side. During their journey, the Skywalkers encountered the Lost Tribe of Sith, as well as a malevolent dark side entity known as Abeloth. With the help of his son and the rest of the Jedi, Skywalker returned to his position as Grand Master. Skywalker and his allies then repelled the Sith threat, and with the help of an unlikely Sith ally, defeated Abeloth, preventing another disaster that could endanger the galaxy; during that time, Skywalker had a vision of the future in which his grand-niece, Allana Solo, sat on the Throne of Balance surrounded by Jedi.
Wishing to ensure Abeloth's destruction, Grand Master Skywalker launched a hunt for Mortis, in the process discovering a Force monolith and defeating the Qreph brothers before finally retiring in XXX ABY (XXXX NE), deciding that the Viau Jedi Order was in good hands with its new generation.
History[]
Pre-Birth[]
During the Viau Clone Wars, Jedi Master Yoda set out on a journey to discover the secrets of immortality. His journey took him to Moraband, the ancient Sith homeworld, where he faced visions of the future. At the end of his journey, the Force Priestess, Serenity, who guided his journey told him that there was another Skywalker, and Yoda heard his voice from the future say so as well. These events alluded to the birth and destiny of Luke Skywalker, as well as his twin sister Leia.
Early Life[]
Luke Skywalker was born in 19 BBY (1395 N.E.) on the asteroid field of Polis Massa two days after the proclamation of the Galactic Empire. He and his twin sister Leia, who was born shortly after him, were the children of Galactic Republic Senator Padmé Amidala, who diedshortly after labor, and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who had recently fallen to the dark side of the Force. To protect the children from the Empire and Anakin, the now-Sith Lord Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi personally sent the infant Luke to live with Anakin's stepbrother Owen Lars and his wife Beru on the planet Tatooine, while Senator Bail Organa agreed to adopt Leia together with his wife, the queen of Alderaan.
Eventually, Skywalker became an adventure-seeking youth who demonstrated his father's natural piloting skills, as well as a strong desire to leave Tatooine. At one point in his boyhood, Skywalker was climbing in a canyon, but, when he grabbed the top, the rock broke off. Skywalker fell into a cave, where he was seen by a group of womp rats and a krayt dragon, although he managed to escape the creatures. Years later, C-3PO referenced this story to several visitors. When Skywalker was 12 years old in 7 BBY (1407 NE), he and his friend, Windy went off on their own through the Tatooine desert and wandered away from the moisture farms riding a dewback. The two encountered a sandstorm during their time outside and both lost consciousness. A krayt dragon was nearby when Skywalker woke up, but they were saved by Kenobi, meeting him for the first time after his adoption to the Lars family. Skywalker asked him who he was, and Kenobi revealed that his name was Ben Kenobi and an old friend of his father. Soon after, Skywalker exhausted and with Windy, he returned safely to their homes, carried on a dewback.
As more of Skywalker's friends left the planet to follow their dreams, he became increasingly frustrated that his uncle would not allow him to do the same, claiming that he still needed help with the farm. In truth, Owen was trying to prevent Skywalker from following in his father's footsteps. In 2 BBY (1412 NE) Skywalker was helping at his foster parent's moisture farm when Beru called him inside. As Skywalker ran back to the house, he was watched in the distance by Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was riding a dewback. Kenobi had just defeated and killed the former Sith apprentice Maul, who had a vendetta against Kenobi after being bisected at the torso during the Invasion of Naboo thirty years earlier. In his final moments, Maul asked Kenobi if he was guarding Skywalker. Kenobi affirmed that he believed Luke was the Chosen One before Maul passed away.
Leaving Tattooine[]
In 0 BBY, (1414 NE), the purchase of two droids: R2-D2 and C-3PO by Skywalker's step-uncle changed the young farm boy's life forever. Obtaining the droids from a band of Jawas to help with various tasks around the homestead, neither of them were aware that the droids had narrowly escaped from the Galactic Empire, and that R2-D2 contained a set of plans for the Empire's dreaded Death Star superweapon.
While cleaning the two new droids back at the homestead, Skywalker learned that they had been involved with the Rebel Alliance, and witnessed part of a desperate message from Princess Leia Organa requesting help from someone named "Obi-Wan Kenobi," whom R2-D2 claimed that he once belonged to. Skywalker soon found himself in the company of Kenobi after being attacked by a group of Sand People out in the Jundland Wastes. After traveling back to the Jedi's home, Kenobi soon revealed to Skywalker that he had once been a Jedi Knight who served in the Clone Wars with Skywalker's father. He went on to inform Skywalker that his father was not a spice freighter navigator like his uncle had always told him, but a Jedi Knight struck down by Darth Vader. Skywalker was also given his father's lightsaber by Kenobi, allowing the blade to be ignited for the first time in years. After he showed Princess Leia's message in its entirety to Kenobi, the old Jedi Master requested Skywalker's help to see the mission through, and offered to show him the ways of the Force. Skywalker initially refused to get involved, as he believed his duties at home were more important, but he offered to take Kenobi to Anchorhead.
Galactic Civil War[]
After escaping stormtroopers on Solo's ship, the Millennium Falcon, Kenobi began Skywalker's instruction in the ways of the Force, using a training remote to instruct him in basic lightsaber combat, much to the derision of Solo, who dismissed it as a "hokey religion." Wearing a helmet that completely covered his eyes for part of the lesson, Kenobi encouraged him to reach out with the Force to combat the remote. Despite his vision being totally impaired, Skywalker was able to successfully deflect a pair of blaster bolts from the remote, claiming that he could "almost see" the remote through the Force.
The lesson, however, was soon interrupted by their arrival in the Alderaan system and their discovery of the planet's destruction. They then spotted a patrolling TIE fighter and, upon following it, found that it was approaching what appeared to be a small moon, which turned out to be the Death Star. Caught by the Death Star's tractor beam, they were brought aboard the massive space station.
Once on board, Luke and Han knocked two stormtroopers out and stole their armor, whereas Kenobi set out to deactivate the tractor beam. However, when R2-D2 discovered that Leia Organa was being held captive on the station, Skywalker insisted on rescuing her. Though Solo was reluctant to go marching into the detention block, Skywalker convinced him to go along with the rescue by claiming that he'd get a significant reward for doing so.
Still using their stormtrooper guises, Skywalker and Solo convinced Chewbacca to pose as a prisoner and escorted him to Detention Block AA-23 (where Organa was being held.) They were able to rescue Organa, but their cover was blown and they had to jump into the garbage compactor in order to escape the pursuing Imperial forces. Though Skywalker and Organa were separated from Solo and Chewbacca, they were able to reunite with their companions, and the droids, in the hangar bay.
Eventually, the group escaped the Death Star, but only after Kenobi sacrificed himself in a duel with Darth Vader. Angry and confused, Organa offered some comfort for his grief. Despite the fact that they had escaped from the Death Star, a pursing TIE fighter patrol was on the verge of catching up to them, so at Solo's request, Skywalker manned one of the Millennium Falcon's quad laser cannons to eliminate the enemy fighters, with Skywalker managing to destroy two of them. Once the patrol was eliminated, they traveled to the hidden rebel base on Yavin 4, unaware that the Death Star was tracking them.
Hero of the Rebellion[]
Upon their arrival at the Yavin base, they met with Commander Willard and Organa introduced him to Skywalker so that he could join the Rebel Alliance as a pilot. Skywalker then separated and met Wedge Antilles, who oversaw his flight simulation test. Lasting no more than 30 seconds, the more experienced pilot advised Skywalker to listen to his explanations, and encouraged him not to give up. In his second try, Skywalker used what he had learned from Antilles, and managed to surpass the highest score, that of Antilles's, prompting Willard to accept him without objection. He joined Red Group with the designation of Red Five, which had previously belonged to a cadet named Pedrin Gaul, who had perished during the Battle of Scarif several days earlier.
After the briefing for their plan of attack against the incoming Death Star, Skywalker prepared himself for the attack, when he saw Solo loading his payment onto the Falcon for rescuing Organa and prepared to leave the group. Skywalker attempted to persuade him to stay and help them against the Empire, but Solo refused, claiming that the attack on the Death Star was suicide rather than bravery, deeply disappointing him. After bidding farewell to Organa as well, Skywalker was about to board his T-65B X-wing starfighter, when he encountered his old friend Biggs Darklighter, the two about to be flying as wingmen in the upcoming battle. In a brief conversation, Darklighter promised Luke that the two would catch up on each other's stories when they got back. Skywalker was also approached by Garven Dreis, the commander of Red Squadron, who asked him if he was sure he could handle the X-wing, to which Darklighter vouched for his friend, calling him the "best bush pilot in the Outer Rim Territories." Skywalker was assigned command of fourth flight for the battle.
As the Battle of Yavin got underway and Skywalker and his fellow squadmates launched into space, Skywalker was guided by the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He participated in Red Squadron's initial assault on the Death Star's outer defenses, primarily focusing on disabling the station's numerous turbolaser batteries and fighting off TIE fighters when they were deployed against the Rebel fighters. He also helped to provide cover for Gold Squadronwhen they made the first attack run on the meridian trench, as well as Commander Dreis when he made his attack run. Eventually, Darth Vader himself joined the fray in a TIE Advanced x1 and succeeded in thwarting the first two attack runs. Just before he was shot down by the Sith Lord, Commander Dreis instructed Skywalker to lead a third and final run on the trench with Darklighter and Antilles.
Skywalker took charge of the last attempt on the thermal exhaust port as instructed, but Vader and his two escort fighters soon caught up to them. Antilles was forced to withdraw after his starfighter suffered damage, and Darklighter was eventually shot down as well. Unable to grieve for his fallen friend, Skywalker tried to focus on his target. He was once again contacted by the spirit to Kenobi, who urged him to let the Force guide him. This prompted Skywalker to disable his starfighter's targeting computer, much to the confusion of the Rebel leaders continuing to monitor the battle from the surface of Yavin 4.
Just as Skywalker reached the end of the trench, it appeared as though Vader would shoot him down like he had the other pilots, but before he could, Han Solo and Chewbacca showed up in the Millennium Falcon, destroying Vader's two escorts and causing Vader's TIE Advanced to spiral out of control away from the trench. At Solo's urging, Skywalker took a single shot and fired two proton torpedos, using the Force to guide them to their target, which resulted in the destruction of the Death Star. For this action he, Chewbacca, and Han Solo were awarded the Medal of Bravery the next morning.
Just as the ceremony ended, Skywalker told Organa to allow herself some time to grieve for the loss of her family and homeworld. Afterwards, General Jan Dodonna sent him and Antilles, the only other survivor of Red Group, in their X-wings to retrieve the wayward princess and bring her to the Great Temple. Her shuttle's pilot, Evaan Verlaine, however, managed to outsmart them and make the jump to hyperspace with course to Naboo, with R2-D2 accompanying the two women. They would later reunite after she had successfully accomplished her mission. Soon after, Skywalker became an officer in the Alliance and was given the rank of Lieutenant and was regularly assigned numerous independent missions.
First Multiverse War[]
Alternate Universes[]
Commander Rex of the 501st Legion of the Galactic Republic.
Luke, among the Rebels learn that a new force came to their galaxy and were unlike any other, known as the Combine and formed an alliance with the Empire. Fearing this could be a major disadvantage until Luke discovered the Rebels also found allies on Dantooine who revealed to have come from another universe, they were the soldiers of the Alliance of Nations and to some Rebels' shock and surprise, they recognised some being Clone Troopers from the Clone Wars at the time of the Old Republic, Luke was approached by one of the Clones who asked who he was, when Luke gave his full name to them, the commander of the troopers named was Rex and personally knew his father, or the alternate version of him.
Lost in shock to discover another version of his father survived but discovered they were 19 years apart which was why the clone troopers received confusion and told them about what happened in their version. Luke went with Rex to ask about his father and what he's like, received a chuckle from the commander who read what he did in the Battle of Yavin and responded he is very much like him and no doubt be eager to see him as a grown man where his counterpart would still be an infant.
Training to be a Jedi[]
- "Will he finish what he begins?" "I won't fail you. I'm not afraid." "Oh, you will be. You will be."
- ―Yoda and Luke Skywalker
Upon discovering that the alternate universe still have Jedi protecting their galaxy, Luke believed he should go to that universe to find a Jedi to train him, however Anakin suggest he should help his universe while still favourable of supporting against the Empire, he would be more needed for his galaxy to help as most of the Jedi Masters were in favour of seeking out the possible survivors of the purge in his universe and hopefully rebuild the order. Listening to his father’s suggestions of who would be a suitable candidate when he introduced to train him.
Hoth[]
Transferred to Echo Base alongside Rogue Squadron in XXXX NE, an Allied base on the iced planet Hoth, where he participated in regular patrols of the frozen perimeter under the callsign Echo Three.
Luke participated in regular patrols of the frozen perimeter. While reconnoitering the surroundings of Echo Base, Skywalker was attacked by a wampa. He regained consciousness in the creature's cave, severed its arm with his lightsaber, and escaped only to find that he was far from Echo Base. After a long walk in the icy wind, he collapsed from exhaustion. Near death, he had a vision of Kenobi, who told him to seek the teachings of Yoda in the Dagobah system, and was then rescued by Han Solo and Rex.
Rescued, Skywalker recovered from his wounds in a bacta tank operated by the medical droids 2-1B and FX-7. However, Vader had located Echo Base with one of his probe droids and prepared an imminent attack on the recently-opened Alliance base.
Duel with the Dark Lord[]
Journey to Duiz'zui[]
- "I must admit, Master Skywalker I am most astonished the Jedi who allow you to make this request to train among us, even though we are allies and our ways are different to yours."
- "I managed to convince them that if we are ever to restore balance to my home galaxy some day, the Jedi must grow and endure change even they accept a few over the years since the war."
- "To improve relations between us, the Guardians will do what we can to help the Jedi, Be cautious, Skywalker for the Darkness is not like any you ever face."
- ―Zavala and Luke Skywalker in 1515 NE.
While finding ways to improve the Jedi ways and restore the branch in his universe to restore the balance, Luke during his training received a vision of an Earth in the Duiz'zui Universe, sensing somethign was happening and aware of what that universe was, he came together the Council to seek out answers in that universe to learn among the Guardians whose connection to the Light may be a way to develop new abilities to reach out to the force, the Jedi Council, especially Anakin were weary of this decision since their first encounter ur in times of need to stop the Combine and the Sith from gaining strength, they were in need to grow and seek out answers. Granting him permission with the advice of allowing Ahsoka and Shaxx, a Titan-Class Guardian to offer to guid him to learn under their training. Knowing he would spend a few years, promising to bring back the answers among the few Jedi willing to enter the Duiz'zui universe and offer their help to the Guaridnas against the Darkness.
War against the Taken King[]
Red Legion[]
Meeting Mara Jade[]
Return to the Viau Verse[]
Search for the Scoundrel[]
In 345 ABG (1756 NE), Skywalker set in motion the plan to rescue Solo from Jabba the Hutt due to their failure to do so during the Attack on the Executor. Once again, Skywalker returned to Tatooine, and to Kenobi's hut, which was well preserved by him over the centuries to protect any secrets his previous master left behind, spending much time at the old residence of Obi-Wan Kenobi, where he constructed a new lightsaber After fending off an attack by a swoop gang, with the aid of Dash Rendar, who had been hired to watch out for him, Skywalker encountered a message droid that was originally sent to Organa, who had gone to meet with Black Sun representatives. However, Skywalker was able to determine the password to reveal the message. The message was sent by Koth Melan, a Bothan spymaster. Skywalker traveled to meet with Melan along with Rendar. Melan sought Luke's help in attacking the freighter Suprosa, which was carrying top secret Imperial data. Skywalker trained the squadron of Bothan Y-wing pilots and led the attack. Although they suffered heavy losses, the information was retrieved, and Rendar again left after failing to prevent the deaths of several Bothan pilots. However, upon returning to the Bothan base, they fell under attack.
Though the data was safely moved for translation, Skywalker was temporarily captured by Barabel bounty hunters. He managed to escape during another attack and was contacted by Chewbacca, who reported that Organa was in the hands of the Black Sun leader, Prince Xizor, who had been behind the repeated assassination attempts on Skywalker to aggravate Darth Vader as part of a power struggle with the Dark Lord. Skywalker met up with Calrissian and Chewbacca and smuggled them into Imperial Center. After joining forces once more with Rendar, Skywalker was able to infiltrate Xizor's palace by entering through the sub-sub-basement sewers. They were able to rescue Organa, but were intercepted by numerous guards. Xizor fired on Skywalker, but the aspiring Jedi easily blocked his shots. At that point, Calrissian activated the timer on a thermal detonator and dropped it into the maintenance shaft, dooming the building. Xizor and the guards fled, allowing the rescue party to meet the Millennium Falcon, which was piloted by C-3PO and R2-D2. Before they left, Skywalker was challenged by Guri, Xizor's powerful Human replica droid. Skywalker accepted the challenge, beating her empty-handed, but refused to finish her. Along with Organa, Calrissian, and Chewbacca, he escaped in the Millennium Falcon. They were pursued by Xizor's private fleet, but the intervention of Rogue Squadron and the Imperial Navy allowed the Falcon to escape, escorted by the Rogues
Afterwards, Skywalker waited to see if Organa's impersonation of Boushh and liberation of Solo was successful without his intervention, but she was only half-successful. She then sent a message to Skywalker and Calrissian that she had been captured as well, prompting Skywalker to act and go to Jabba's Palace. Skillful use of the Force allowed Skywalker to get past Jabba's Gamorrean guards and his majordomo, Bib Fortuna, but the Hutt was not so easily swayed and attempted to feed Skywalker to his rancor, which Luke later killed, upsetting Malakili, the Rancor's keeper.
Skywalker killed the fearsome monster, but Jabba was furious and sentenced all the captured Alliance heroes–including an unfrozen Solo–to death in the Pit of Carkoon. Mara Jade, at Jabba's palace undercover as a dancer, was unable to come along to help aid her lover, yet Luke assured her to prepared as their other friends from Starfleet, Worf and Riker infiltrated as guards or staff well and others remained in orbit to be ready should things don't go as planned. However, right before he was put into the pit, Skywalker escaped when R2-D2 shot his lightsaber to him and freed the other prisoners on the skiff. The aspiring Jedi massacred Jabba's guards, though he sustained a minor wound on his cybernetic hand, when he was shot by one of Jabba's henchmen.
Skywalker, Solo, Organa, Chewbacca, Calrissian and the droids escaped through a menacing sand storm after destroying both Jabba's barge and the gangster himself.
Mission to Solay[]
On the world of Solay, Luke among other Jedi helped the local resistance overthrow King Blackart. when the Galactic Empire returned to enslave Solay with brute force. Luke escaped the planet with the aide of the resistance a local named Braxas, reporting to the Alliance of the situation and prepared for an attack to help inspire a rebellion of the planet.
Nagai-Tof War[]
In 349 ABG (1760 NE) training new padawans, Luke were caught up in the Nagai–Tof War. The Nagai Commander Ozrei N'takkilomandrife had created infighting among the rebels on Saijo, and Luke, Leia, and Han were forced to resolve the dispute by discovering the traitor Durne. However, this was just the start of the conflict, and in a routine check on Kinooine, Luke came face to face with the power of the Nagai war machine. Along with Kiro and Dani, Luke surveyed the planet, searching for a missing scouting party. Unknown to Luke, his scouting party had been executed by Lumiya and her Nagai aide, Den Siva. Dani and Kiro encountered the dangerous Sith Lady before Luke, but Kiro was critically injured and Dani was captured by Den Siva. Luke confronted Lumiya, but suffered one of his first defeats when she attacked him with her lightwhip. Luke was captured and placed in an underground cell on the planet.
Luckily, Kiro had recovered from his more serious wounds, and he set out to rescue his master and Dani. Kiro infiltrated the prison, killing the Nagai guards. He released Luke and helped him create a shoto. Kiro and Luke confronted Lumiya again, but the outcome was drastically different. Luke used two sabers against Lumiya's whip, and the Dark Lady was defeated. Unmasking the woman, Luke was surprised to find that her true identity was Shira Brie, his former love. Unfortunately, at this exact moment, the Nagai fleet arrived and Luke and Kiro were forced to bring their prisoner with them into hiding. The team met another snag when they were forced to tie up Lumiya so that they could rescue Dani. Kiro and Luke rescued the Zeltron, but their escape was foiled by Den Siva, who attacked Kiro and critically injured him leaving him to die in the waters of Kinooine. Luke and Dani were forced to make a hasty retreat believing that Kiro had been killed. Luke had lost another potential apprentice, and Lumiya escaped from her bonds.
The war took a step up where New Republic and Alliance forces came into direct conflict with Nagai forces. Space forces led by Lumiya almost destroyed the New Republic fleet, but Luke's leadership on the ground and Lando's tactics in the air turned the tide. The seriousness of the Nagai threat now apparent, Luke began to take a more central role in dealing with the Nagai. In the Battle of Iskalon, Luke faced the forces of General Kruskob Tiltanka, destroying the Nagai presence on the world. Luke also became reunited with his apprentice Kiro during the engagement, but Kiro's priorities had changed, and he had opted to remain on Iskalon to protect his people. Luke was saddened by Kiro's decision but accepted it.
The war took another turn when the Nagai's sworn enemies, the Tof, entered the war in the Twelfth Battle of Zeltros. Luke was forced to fight against the Tof and the Hiromi Empire when they invaded Zeltros, threatening the lives of Dani, Leia, and the Nagai. Luke's assault helped in the capture of a Hiromi ship, ending the battle and the threat of the Hiromi Empire. The final battle of the war came at the Battle of Saijo after the Alliance allied with the Nagai and the Empire against the Tofs. Luke led a task force in capturing the Tof leader Prince Sereno.
The Test on Endor[]
Knowing he would have to face his father, gaining advice from the High Council, even Anakin believe he must face Vader to free him with no hope of redefining himself after centuries of conflict. Even as a Jedi, Luke had one test he must face.
Skywalker nevertheless accompanied his friends on the mission to Endor to knock out the shield generators that protected portals to the second Death Star in orbit, immediately upon arrival at the briefing aboard the Home One. Upon approaching Endor, Skywalker sensed Vader's presence on the nearby Star Destroyer Executor, and realized his presence endangered the mission. His companions dismissed his concerns, and proceeded on. However, thanks to Skywalker merely accompanying the mission, Vader was able to detect the presence of the Rebels in the shuttle in which they infiltrated the forest moon, but allowed them to land so he could deal with them himself. When the Rebel force was discovered by Imperial scout troopers, Skywalker and Organa pursued them on 74-Z speeder bikes through the dense foliage and successfully prevented them from reporting the Rebels' presence. Skywalker usedhis Jedi skill by leaping from one speeder to another while traveling at high speed and deflecting the laser fire of another, which he destroyed with a stroke of his new lightsaber. However, during the high speed chase, Organa became separated from Skywalker.
Upon learning of her disappearance, Solo, Skywalker, Chewbacca, and the droids went looking for her, but were captured by a tribe of Ewoks. Skywalker prevented a skirmish with the small forest-dwellers and ingeniously rescued the party after the Ewoks, who thought C-3PO was a god, planned to sacrifice the Rebel heroes. He used the Force to levitate the protocol droid, convincing the Ewoks to release and aid the Rebels. However, Skywalker knew that he had to confront Vader. In the Ewok village, Skywalker told his sister that he will be confronting Vader on the Death Star, despite many telling him it was dangerous. She attempted to dissuade him from confronting their father, but Skywalker was adamant that he could redeem Vader, and set off.
Eventually encountering an Imperial patrol and willingly surrendering himself o Vader in an attempt to bring the Dark Lord back to the light side by referring to him as "Anakin Skywalker," but Vader harshly denounced his former name. Although he managed to make Vader question the dark truths that had long ruled him, Skywalker ultimately became a prisoner of the Emperor as he was escorted to his throne room onboard the Death Star.
Once on board the Death Star, the Emperor and Vader attempted to corrupt Skywalker with promises to save his friends from their trap if he joined the dark side. As a backup idea, the Emperor goaded Skywalker to strike him down to save the Alliance Fleets, which was being decimated in the Battle of Endor. Skywalker, in a moment of weakness, lashed out, but Vader stopped his strike.
Despite the clash, Skywalker managed to keep emotional control, much to the frustration of his enemies. Maintaining control of his emotions, he hid himself and refused to continue to fight. However, that control was lost when Vader telepathically sensed the existence of Skywalker's sister and threatened to corrupt her instead.
Furious at the threat, Skywalker viciously attacked, wielding the full power of Djem So, and eventually cut off the Sith Lord's right hand, nearly killing Vader. Palpatine then demanded he finish Vader and take his place at his side. Luke, however, threw his lightsaber away, realizing that he was becoming what he sought to destroy. He declared himself a Jedi, just as Anakin Skywalker had been before him. Enraged, the Emperor unleashed Force lightning against Skywalker to torture and eventually kill the young Jedi.
Vader found himself in a similar position as he had for centuries, when he made the decision to save Palpatine from Mace Windu centuries ago, allowing the Sith Lord to torture and kill his would-be executor with Force lightning. Palpatine declared his intention to kill Luke, and Vader made the decision to act. He picked his master from the ground, and cast him down the same shaft the emperor had intended for Vader to use to dispose of Luke's body. But in doing so, he turned Palpatine's lethal Force lightning against him, irreparably damaging his life-supporting suit of armor. In an act of self-sacrifice and love for his son, Anakin Skywalker re-emerged to destroy the Emperor.
On the deteriorating Death Star at the foot of Vader's shuttle, Skywalker removed the former Vader's mask and looked upon his father's face for the first and only time before Anakin became one with the Force. Skywalker took his father's body on board the shuttle and escaped just before the Death Star's destruction. Back on Endor, Skywalker cremated his father's armor in the manner of a Jedi's funeral, as his father's body had already vanished. He then joined in the celebration of the apparent defeat of the Empire, during which he saw the spirits of Kenobi, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker appear. Thus, Skywalker came full circle both as a Jedi and as a person.

Personality and Traits[]
In his youth, Skywalker was often curious, impatient, looking ahead to the future with little regard for his present surroundings, and even a bit brash. Like his father, he was impulsive, reckless, and often had little regard for his own personal safety. He also acknowledged his scarce talent at lying, a trait that many people could infer. Despite these traits, Skywalker had a happy childhood anyway. According to B.J. Blazkowicz, his first impression of Skywalker was a naïve kid who needed to be taught a thing or two.
However, as his skills in the Force progressed and, especially after losing a hand to Darth Vader, Skywalker became more patient and seasoned, and was often seen as having wisdom beyond his years. However, he still retained his idealistic viewpoint, willing to think the best of anyone, and believing that Vader was redeemable. He was also unable to ignore those who needed help, sometimes to the point of endangering missions for the sake of saving someone else's life, as his father would throughout the Clone Wars. Even as a child, he had a strong sense of morality and a need to help others despite likely danger. Skywalker shows consistently his sense to protect those that he cares for and loves, for example risking going to the dark side to help his friends, and his love for his sister very nearly causing him to turn, if it were not for his love for his father. Some called Skywalker naïve for this, although it was actually his kindness and ability to see the good in others that forced him to view others this way as Ahsoka recalls he takes a lot of his mother.
Luke was known for being empathetic to his friends and would go to great lengths to help them, whenever he could. At some times, he could be almost passive, serene—a result of his mastery of the Force that allowed him to remain calm and in control even in the heat of battle. His loyalty and devotion to his comrades was virtually unshakable, Darth Sidious tried to sever his connection to his friends during their confrontation on board the second Death Star, but ultimately failed. Luke's love for his friends and his determination foiled the plans of the evil Sith Lord.
