10. “But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!“– Farm Boy Luke
While this moment is often joked about due to Luke’s whining over something trivial, it serves to show how little Luke knows about what lies in the galaxy beyond. It’s a reminder that one of the greatest heroes came from so little, and started the saga so simply as a farm boy.
9. “Luke Skywalker? I thought he was a myth.“– The Legend of Luke Skywalker
By the time we get to The Force Awakens, a new generation of heroes are stepping up into their own roles. Still, their exploits are inspired by the bravery of characters like General Organa, and of course, the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker. This moment shows just how much of an impact Luke’s actions have had throughout the galaxy.
8. “You will bring Captain Solo and the Wookiee to me.“– Infiltrating Jabba’s Palace
Luke begins to show the full scope of his Jedi abilities in Episode VI, tricking Bibb Fortuna into letting him inside Jabba’s gangster palace. This is a stylish and exciting time for Luke showing off the skill, resourcefulness, and heroism he’s honed throughout the trilogy thus far.
