new canon)
Skills: Luke is a Force wielder trained in the
Jedi arts by Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. His Force abilities include
levitation, mind control, and Force Projection, to name a few. He is a highly
skilled pilot that trained as a young boy on Tatooine to fly what he could get
his hands on. Luke's piloting skills made destroying the Imperial Death Star
easier than any other pilot's efforts. He was able to combine his Force
sensitivity, and piloting skills to detonate the flaw left in the Death
Star by Galen Erso during the space station's construction. He is also an adept
marksman with a blaster.
Weapons: The lightsaber in Skywalker's hands is a deadly
and precise instrument. He trained with his father, Anakin Skywalker's
lightsaber, which was lost on Bespin after his second duel with Darth Vader. It
was on that day that he learned that the Sith Lord was his father. Soon after
Luke fashioned a new lightsaber which he wielded during the Battle at the Pit
of Carkoon and the Battle of Endor. After decades his father's lightsaber was
returned to him by the Force wielder, Rey.

Moments in Time
The Myth and the Legend: Luke Skywalker is a
legendary warrior in the Galactic Civil War. He was known for his skill as a
pilot and as a Jedi Master. To some he is as mythical as the Jedi. While others
like his sister, Leia, see him as a beacon of hope. Luke traversed the galaxy
to find the truth behind the Jedi Order, and as he did so his own life became
legend. Children all over the galaxy see him as a hero, inspiring their own
lives. But in truth Luke has seen the legend of the Jedi stripped down to the
basic levels, and he has realized that even a legend has its flaws. Until the
rise of the Empire and Yoda's first visit to Dagobah, the Jedi lived as
galactic marshals. Soon the true nature of the Force became alive in the minds
of the Order, but it was too late. Order 66 was enacted and the Empire sought
to destroy the Jedi and all knowledge of them. At the head of this was Luke's
own father, who became the malevolent Darth Vader. But knowledge kept away from
Imperial hands thrived with the help of individuals, like Jedi Librarian
Jocasta Nu before her death at the hands of Vader. For centuries the Jedi
wielded the Force and never truly understood its nature. Force ghosts were
deemed ridiculous talk even among the Counsel of Jedi on Coruscant, until Yoda
spoke of communing with Qui Gon Jin after his death. What Luke discovered is
that the Force does not belong to the Jedi. It is living and Cosmic, and can be
used by those who are not Jedi. He does his best to make Rey known of this in
the Last Jedi. Her use of the Force is a Cosmic one and very powerful. With the
basic training she glommed from Kylo Ren during their psychic link before the
Battle of Starkiller Base, she had learned to study the Force on her own. But
Luke's goal was not to train Rey as a Jedi, but as one with knowledge of the
Force. His exile on Ahch-To seem to be a culmination of decades of research and
his own ability to see how his own legend led him to be partially responsible
for the creation of Kylo Ren.
The
Jedi Academy- Luke began to fashion the idea to begin a Jedi Academy that
would teach the galaxy's Force wielders how to harness and focus their
abilities. After years of exploration and further study, he began to take on students.
One student in particular was his nephew, Ben Solo. Ben possessed a raw Force
ability that needed focusing, and that power began to worry Luke. As the
influences of the Dark Side began to show themselves to Ben, Luke decided to
end Ben's life to save the Galaxy from his burgeoning evil power. But during
the attempted assassination, Luke could not bear to kill his nephew. As he
lowered his lightsaber, Ben awoke from his sleep. Ben saw the laser sword and
realized what Luke was attempting to do. He collapsed his quarters around the
Jedi Master, leaving Luke in the rubble. When Luke regained consciousness and
freed himself from the debris, he saw his academy in flames and many of his
students dead. Ben became Kylo Ren, taking a handful of students with him (which are speculated to be the Knights of
Ren). The failure was too much for the Luke, and he left for Ahch-To, said
to hold the relics of the beginnings of the Jedi Order.
Known Allies:
Luke Skywalker has had
many allies, but this list is made of those who were integral in helping him
with Jedi training and the Rebellion.
