Concept and creation

Serial creator George Lucas considered various characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars film. This included a 60-twelvemonth-old grizzled state of war hero, a Jedi master, a dwarf, and a woman.^{[2] [3]} In an interview well-nigh his early drafts, Lucas said:

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

Though Luke's surname was "Skywalker" in Lucas's 1973 treatment of The Star Wars,^[five] it was changed to "Starkiller" in subsequent drafts, at i 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;^{[6] [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;^[viii] this was dubbed "Skywalker" in the film. "Starkiller" was dropped due to what Lucas chosen "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson.^[ix]

In an alternative ending pitched by Lucas for the Star Wars trilogy's terminal film, Render of the Jedi (1983), Luke causeless his father's part as Darth Vader after the latter'southward expiry and intending to rule in his place. Though Lawrence Kasdan favored the thought, Lucas ultimately declined, since the films were fabricated for children.^[ten] Another conclusion to the film featured the character disappearing into the wilderness alike to "Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns."^[11]

According to Marker Hamill, during the filming of the original motion-picture show, Lucas asked him if he would reprise the role for a cameo when he was in his 60s to pass the torch to the next generation. In 1983, Hamill stated that his return to the franchise would be "either be another plane of existence or not the same graphic symbol".^[12] Hamill learned of the sequel trilogy in mid-2012 at a Star Wars Celebration during dejeuner when Lucas told him one was in evolution.^[13]

Luke'south lack of screen fourth dimension in The Force Awakens was due to concerns by screenwriter Michael Arndt that his presence would mean the audience would accept less interest in protagonist Rey, leading to an agreement that he exist removed from the screen and instead become a plot device.^{[14] [15]} Hamill attended meetings for script readings, and helped muffle Luke's function in the picture show; instead of dialogue, he read stage directions. Co-ordinate to director and co-writer J. J. Abrams, this immune Hamill to remain involved and his reading helped make a "meliorate experience for everyone".^[16]

After filming The Force Awakens, Hamill shaved his bristles to portray the Trickster in The Flash, and so allow it grow back to motion picture The Last Jedi.^[13] According to concept designer Christian Alzmann, Luke's advent in that film was partly inspired by that of Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now (1979).^[17]

Luke Skywalker appears in the Curiosity-published Star Wars comics adaptations of the original trilogy, too as 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 as a spirit in the Strength to his descendant Cade Skywalker and persuades him to one time again go a Jedi in gild 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's hero'south journeying,^[50] with Luke Skywalker filling the hero classic.^[51] As such, he is a relatable protagonist who encounters the basic struggle between good and evil in the same fashion as other heroic figures such as Harry Potter, Bilbo Baggins, and Jesus Christ. Luke'south primal dilemma is the ongoing state of war between good and evil, both externally and internally.

Religious

Some argue that Luke mirrors central values of Christianity and Abrahamic religion; Luke's journey is oftentimes 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'southward struggle between good and evil is assorted with that of his father, Anakin Skywalker, in a fashion that represents the story of the Prodigal Son.^[52]

Reception

In 2015, Luke Skywalker was selected by Empire magazine equally the 50th-greatest moving picture graphic symbol of all fourth dimension.^[53] Empire as well ranked him equally the third greatest Star Wars graphic symbol.^[54] Luke was besides on the election for the American Picture show Plant'southward 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 fourth top Star Wars character,^[57] and he was chosen twice by IGN'southward readers as one of their favorite Star Wars characters.^{[58] [59]} IGN'south Jesse Schedeen also picked Luke Skywalker equally ane of the characters they most wanted to appear on the Wii,^[60] as well as list Skywalker equally i of their favorite Star Wars heroes.^[61] Schedeen also listed the character equally one of the Star Wars characters they wanted to see in Soulcalibur.^[62] IGN as well called the fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi one of the ultimate movie "boss battles".^[63] In a characteristic on speeches fabricated past Luke Skywalker, IGN'due south Todd Gilchrist said that his favorite of Luke's speeches is "I am a Jedi, like my father earlier me".^[64] UGO Networks listed Luke as ane of their best heroes of all time,^[65] and he was voted as ane of the coolest Star Wars characters by UGO'southward readers.^[66] Inventor Dean Kamen has too lawmaking-named his new prosthetic arm organization "Luke" in honor of the character.^[67] Ane indication of the character'due south touch on on fans is an elaborate fan theory, adult on the Internet since 2015, that at that place are actually two unlike Lukes in the original trilogy: the normal 1 and a "bigger Luke" of a slightly larger build who appears in some scenes.^[68]

Mark Hamill was nominated a Saturn Award for Best Actor in for his portrayal of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars,^[69] and won the award for his portrayal in The Empire Strikes Dorsum, Return of the Jedi, and The Last Jedi.^[seventy]

In 1976, Hamill was in a serious car accident after filming Star Wars, which involved an operation on his face. It was speculated that the Wampa assail at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back was written in to explain his facial injuries, but 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 man whose failures had driven him into hiding" and the deportment the character takes in contributing to Kylo Ren'southward 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 option [The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson] fabricated for this character," just that he had the utmost respect for Johnson and was willing to exercise his part to realize Johnson's vision.^[73] While regarding the possibility of a younger actor playing the part, Hamill expressed support towards Sebastian Stan, whose physical resemblance to a young Hamill went viral.^[74] Yet 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 about the character'due south sexual orientation and if Luke could exist gay, Hamill said Luke'south sexual orientation "is meant to be interpreted by the viewer." He added, "if you call back Luke is gay, of class he is. You should non exist ashamed of it. Guess Luke by his character, not by who he loves."^[76] Hamill later said that he considered the possibility that Luke could have found beloved between Return of the Jedi and The Forcefulness Awakens.^[77]

Cultural impact

Luke Skywalker remains an American cultural icon. He is ofttimes used by kid psychotherapists to assistance children to project their thoughts and land of being in a way that is understandable to both the kid and their therapist.^[78] Some other manner that therapists utilize Star Wars in sessions is to teach their patients that the Strength represents the cocky-understanding that they achieve in therapy. Children are taught that they are Luke and their therapist is Obi-Wan, in that eventually, as Luke no longer needed his mentor, they will 1 day no longer need their therapist.^[79]

Star Wars has been related dorsum to cultural events of its time, such as the Common cold War and Nixon-era politics. The severing of Luke's mitt and Darth Vader's bionic presence supposedly, according to space.com, symbolize the unity of the military and amputees.^[lxxx]
