Luke Skywalker is a minifigure introduced in 1999 as part of the ClassicStar Wars line. He is the main protagonist of the original trilogy. He is one of the first ever licensed minifigures and has had 52 different variants since 1999.
Luke Skywalker was the son of Queen/Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (later Sith Lord Darth Vader) of Tatooine, and twin brother of Leia Organa. When his mother died (of a broken heart caused by Anakin) after giving birth to him and Leia, he was taken to Tatooine where he lived and grew up on his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen's moisture farm on Tatooine for the next 19 years of his life. He owned a Landspeeder and is known to have raced T-16 Skyhoppers with his best friend Biggs Darklighter. He and his uncle later purchased two droids, which were R2-D2, and C-3PO.
After Owen and Beru were killed by the Empire's Stormtroopers, he went with former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who told him his father was a Jedi Knight, and gave him his father's lightsaber. After Obi-Wan's death at the hands of Luke's father Darth Vader, Luke helped destroy the Death Star, with the help of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, and all of the Rebel Alliance in the Battle of Yavin and became a known leader in the Rebel Alliance. He then fought alongside the rebels in the Battle of Hoth, but the Empire forces outmatched them and the rebels scattered across the galaxy, eager to escape the Empire's attack.
He flew to Dagobah and was trained by Jedi MasterYoda. His training was interrupted when Luke set off to Bespin to save his friends, and Han Solo was frozen in carbonite. When dueling with Darth Vader, the Sith Lord cut off Luke's right hand, and he lost his lightsaber along with it. It was then that Darth Vader revealed to Luke that he was his father.
Luke escaped, and after going to other adventures, he created his own green lightsaber. He went back to Tatooine to save Han Solo from the hands of Jabba the Hutt. Eventually, Luke visited Yoda on Dagobah again but while there, Yoda died of old age. Soon Luke dueled his father again on the second Death Star above the forest moon of Endor, and though he defeated him, he refused to finish him off, knowing it would turn him to the dark side.
The furious Darth Sidious unleashed his Force lightning upon Luke. Because of this, his father came back to the light side and threw Sidious into the core of the Death Star, killing him and saving Luke and redeeming himself. However, Anakin's suit was badly damaged by the Force lightning of the Emperor and he soon died in Luke's hands. Luke burned his father's remains in a fire in a Jedi tradition, but later saw Obi-Wan, Yoda, and his redeemed father Anakin Skywalker as Force spirits.
In the years afterward, Luke set out to establish a new Jedi Order. He came to help rescue the Jedi youngling Grogu, and hoped that Grogu would become his first student. However, Grogu chose to return to Din Djarin, the Mandalorian who had been his companion and guardian for some time. During this period, Luke also made the acquaintance of Ahsoka Tano, his father's former Jedi apprentice.
He later trained Ben Solo, Han and Leia's son but went into hiding after he turned to the dark side. Later he was located by the Resistance and visited by Rey who returned his father's lightsaber, original thought lost at Cloud City but later obtained by Maz Kanata. Although reluctant at first. He agrees to train Rey and when she leaves to help the Resistance. He confronts Kylo Ren on Crait through a Force projection and fights him. He dies from the projection and becomes one with the Force.
LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy[]
In the altered reality created by Sig Greebling, Luke lived on Tattooine-a lush ocean world in this galaxy-even as a mature adult. Luke made a living as a podracer, and was both dishonest and self-centered, using his skill with the Force to cheat. When approached by Sig and Jedi Bob, he was initially unwilling to air them. He was particularly unenthusiastic after hearing the rather disheartening account of what his life had been like in the unaltered galaxy.

Growing up as a humble moisture farmer on the desert world of Tatooine, young Luke Skywalker had no idea of the incredible destiny that the galaxy had in store for him. He soon became famous as a talented starfighter pilot, a hero of the Rebel Alliance, and a new hope for the all-but-extinct Jedi Knights.
Notes[]
In 7201 Final Duel II, Jedi Luke has a black right hand, which is the only Yellow Jedi Luke variation with a black right hand.
The Hoth Bacta tank Luke seen in 7879 Hoth Echo Base is the first Star Wars minifigure not to have a top on.

He has the flesh-tone version of Luke's Return of the Jedi face and hands that became Luke's default face for a time, while his body and legs are the versions from the original Landspeeder set from 1999.
