- Darth Vader: Luke help me take this mask off.
- Luke: But you'll die.
- Darth Vader: Nothing can stop that now. Just for once let me look on you with my *own* eyes.
- [Luke takes off Darth Vader's mask one piece at a time. Underneath, Luke sees the face of a pale, scarred, bald-headed, old man - his father, Anakin. Anakin sadly looks at Luke but then gives a tired smile]
- Anakin: Now go, my son. Leave me.
- Luke: No. You're coming with me. I'll not leave you here, I've got to save you.
- Anakin: You already have, Luke. You were right. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right.
- [Anakin smiles and his eyes begin to droop slumps down in death while giving one last dying breath]

- Luke: You couldn't bring yourself to kill me before and I don't believe you'll destroy me now.
- Darth Vader: You underestimate the power of the Dark Side. If you will not fight, then you will meet your destiny.

Fictional character
Luke Skywalker is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He was introduced in the original film trilogy as the main protagonist and also appears in the sequel trilogy. Raised as a moisture farmer on the planet Tatooine, Luke joins the Rebel Alliance and becomes a pivotal figure in the struggle against the Galactic Empire. He trains as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, and eventually confronts his father, the Sith Lord Darth Vader. Years later, Luke trains his nephew Ben Solo and mentors the scavenger Rey. Luke is the twin brother of Leia Organa.
Mark Hamill portrays Luke in all the films of the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy, and in the television series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Hamill won the Saturn Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Luke in The Empire Strikes Back (), Return of the Jedi () and The Last Jedi (). He was also nominated for the award for his performance in Star Wars (). Luke also appears in novels, comics, and video games.
Creation and development
Star Wars ()
George Lucas considered various characterizations for the protagonist of the original Star Wars film. The possibilities included a year-old grizzled war hero, a Jedi Master, a dwarf, and a woman. Luke's original surname was "Starkiller", and it remained in the script until a few months into filming. It was dropped due to what Lucas called "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson, who became a "star killer" in when he murdered the well-known actress Sharon Tate. Lucas replaced the problematic name "Starkiller" with "Skywalker".

The Last Jedi Made Me Appreciate Return Of The Jedi Even More - But Not For The Reason You Think
Summary
- The Last Jedi enhances the depth and emotional impact of Return of the Jedi's most iconic moment.
- Luke's humanity in The Last Jedi complements the moral complexity shown in Return of the Jedi.
- The Last Jedi's portrayal of Luke Skywalker highlights the franchise's theme of redemption and choosing to do the right thing.
For all its divisiveness, Star Wars: The Last Jedi succeeds in making Return of the Jedi an even better movie, but not because it's bad. The Last Jedi is considered by some to be one of the worst Star Wars movies in the Skywalker saga, but I couldn't disagree more. The Last Jedi is a fantastic addition to the Star Wars timeline, partly because it builds off the best moment in Return of the Jedi and the franchise as a whole. Watching it gave me a deeper appreciation of the original trilogy, and particularly Luke Skywalker's journey.
Luke has been a figurehead of the entire Star Wars franchise since it first began, and for good reason. He's a paragon of what a Jedi should be, and all the terrible things that happened to Luke, and the fact that he overcame them, make him incredibly compelling. Those struggles are precisely why I think The Last Jedi connects so perfectly to Return of the Jedi. The best way to illustrate that is to look at the greatest moment in Return of the Jedi, and see how The Last Jedi reinterprets it for the better.
