Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker is a fictional character and the protagonist of the original trilogy of the science fiction saga Star Wars. He hails from the asteroid colony of Polis Massa He is the only son of Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala (former queen of the planet Naboo).

His brother-in-law and his battle partner is called Han Solo, famous smuggler and member of the Rebel Alliance.

After filming the first 6 episodes of the Star Wars film saga, Luke's life as well as the other characters were based on a canonical comic book series launched by George Lucas, which became part of the Universe expanded from Star Wars, now known as "Legends" and excluded from canon by Disney.

Luke Skywalker was ranked No. 54 on Empire magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time".

George Lucas was originally going to name the character Luke Starkiller while writing the script for the film Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, however, he ultimately did not like the last name because according to He says he sounded aggressive and it wasn't appropriate. So in the end, during production, Lucas changed Luke's last name to "Skywalker".
