Jedi, son of Naboo Senator Padmé Amidala Naberrie and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Older twin brother of Leia Organa Solo.
Born on April 11th in medical center Polis-Massa on the day of the creation of the Galactic Empire. After the death of Luke's mother, he was sent to Tatooine to stay with Anakin's half-brother Owen Lars to hide him from Palpatine. On this planet, under the supervision of guardians and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke spent his childhood. But one day two droids fell into Luke's hands - C-3PO and R2-D2 - and the latter told him about his task - to find Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom Luke knew as a strange hermit living nearby. After listening to the message sent by the droids, Obi-Wan went to help his comrades and took Luke with him. Luke proved himself to be a capable student and was able to study with Yoda himself. Luke learned the terrible secret of his birth from his father Darth Vader. With the humility and calm that defines a true Jedi, Luke accepted his fate and continued to fight. And finally, Skywalker walked unarmed into a trap prepared by the Emperor himself in order to lure him to the Dark Side. During the battle with his father, Luke tried to influence him in order to return him to the light side of the Force. After Darth Vader was defeated, Luke Skywalker did not kill him and continued to convince him to return back to the light, despite the fact that at this time the emperor tortured him with lightning, as a result, Darth Vader realized that his son was right and threw the emperor into the Death Star shaft , after which he himself died.
Luke's further fate is described in the Star Wars comics. After numerous adventures detailed in the comics (for example: becoming a Master, teacher, Grand Master; studying the force; determining the nature of the dark and light sides; restoring democracy to the galaxy; founding a new Jedi Order), Luke merges with the force, which would continue mentor future generations. After Disney acquired the rights to the Star Wars franchise, all the events of the main canon after Episode VI were rewritten, and what was previously called the Extended Universe, which had various degrees of recognition from Lucasfilm, received common name"Legends".
In the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it becomes known that Luke actually trained the Jedi at the revived academy, but after his nephew Ben Solo, being one of his students, goes over to the Dark Side and destroys the rest of the academy, Luke goes to exile to a distant planet. At the end of the film, Luke was found by the Force-sensitive scavenger Rey using abandoned coordinates found by R2-D2.
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker will begin training Rey in the arts of the Light Side of the Force and will fight the forces of Supreme Leader Snoke and his student Kylo Ren, leader of the Knights of Ren. It has already become known that in this film, Kylo Ren (former student of Luke Skywalker) will change his character to a tougher one.
In the ninth film, he will again become one of the main characters and learn how to lure the Dark Jedi and switch to the Light Side of the Force.
So, everything goes according to canon until the sixth episode. But after Luke burned Vader's body, Skywalker accidentally overheard what was being said at the meeting of the Alliance heads, to which for some reason he was not invited. And he learned this: Firstly, it turns out that the Skywalkers were very well known to the Jedi long before Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan found Anakin on Tatooine. Why? Because, although not often in the Skywalker family, there were still Gifted Ones. And these gifted ones were always monstrously strong and talented, each subsequent Gifted One of this kind was an order of magnitude stronger than the previous one, and also representatives of this family invariably became Siths, so the Skywalkers are sort of like hereditary Siths. Secondly, Shmi Skywalker had two twin children - a boy and a girl, that is, Anakin and OZP (Name of your choice). While the boy lived with his mother, the girl lived with her father. Whether OZhP knew about the existence of her brother or not is not important. But Anakin knew nothing about his sister, because Shmi decided not to traumatize her son’s soul with the news of the existence of a sister whom he would never see anyway, and took this secret to the grave. OZhP is not gifted. The Jedi thought that the Skywalkers were completely extinct, but Anakin proved the opposite (by the mere fact that he bears this surname and there were even more midi-chlorians in his blood than Yoda, who had previously held the record for the content of midi-chlorians in the blood). So, the Jedi decided to try their luck and raise a real Jedi from a descendant of the Skywalkers. The result is known to us all - Anakin Skywalker began to bear the name Darth Vader and, accordingly, without knowing it, he followed in the footsteps of his ancestors. Padme died BEFORE giving birth and, accordingly, her children and Anakin's children also died before they were even born. And then Obi-Wan and Yoda so successfully found little Luke, who was born Gifted, and OZP (Anakin’s sister). The last Jedi were eliminated, and Luke was sent to Tatooine, to the Lars, and married him off to the son of Padme and Anakin. Leia Organa - own daughter Bail Organa and his wives, for example (but not Padmé’s daughter! He and Organa did not have sexual relations, because Amidala was completely faithful to Skywalker). In short, the Jedi came up with a plan in which Vader's nephew (Luke), married to his son, would kill the Sith. The grown-up Leia agreed to play the role of Luke's sister and Vader's daughter in order to destroy the Sith and the Empire. Leia, by the way, was also born Gifted, which is why she was offered to participate in the plan. Luke overheard all this and found out the truth. The entire command staff of the Alliance was present at the council (Madina, there... Mon Mothma, Akbar, Leia, Khan and some others). In general, they were there deciding what to do with Luke himself, who was no longer needed. Kill him or put him in prison, or do something else? But you can’t leave him alone and you can’t make him a full-fledged Jedi either. Otherwise, who knows, the Skywalker genes will take over in him? Like, we know, we went through it, nothing worked with Anakin, and that means it won’t work with Luke either. They decided to kill, and Leia had to restore the Jedi Order, moreover, for this purpose from the very early age Yoda and Obi-Wan were preparing (she’s not a Skywalker, so it’s possible. She, they say, won’t become a Sith). Luke has had enough of everything he has heard and he quickly runs away, just so as not to see these bastards. And he ended up on the planet Korriban. On it, Luke, not only did not die, but also found teachers for himself from the spirits of the Sith Lords, among whom, by the way, there were five to ten former Skywalkers. In general, in seven to ten years they managed to turn Luke into a real Dark Lord of the Sith and gave him the name Darth (make up your own mind). What Luke will do next is up to you (But don’t forget that the last Skywalker was made into a real Sith and now he is in no way inferior in cruelty to his uncle, Darth Vader. And also don’t forget what I wrote about the Skywalker Power Each next Skywalker is an order of magnitude stronger than the previous one!). Luke will take revenge on everyone who used him (That is, the entire top of the Alliance, who by this moment had quickly revived the Republic and began to do good and bring justice!). There must be a war. No, not like that, there must be WAR! Republic versus Darth (whatever you call Luke). Where Skywalker will take troops and equipment is on your conscience, even if he raises the same Clone Army. Whether Luke will seize power and re-create his Empire or limit himself to revenge is up to you. But still, I would like him to restore the Empire and become the Emperor himself.
Huh! Finally expressed my thoughts on this idea! I hope there is a benefactor who can competently and interestingly implement this idea. And also, preferably without Slash, this genre is far from being held in high esteem by me. But if it’s absolutely impossible to live without him, then fine, I’ll survive somehow, the main thing is that he doesn’t interfere with everything else.
Growing up on the remote planet Tatooine, Luke Skywalker was the adopted son of a farming couple. Fate takes him on a long journey and, having overcome unimaginable trials and experienced a deep personal tragedy, he eventually becomes a true Jedi Knight and a hero of the Rebel Union.

But Luke's uncle, Owen Lars, constantly held him back from the farm.
Fate knocks on the door of Luke Skywalker's home in the form of two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2. Thus begins an adventure that will test his courage and devotion more than once. bright side Strength, helping him to know himself.
Luke undergoes tests that would test the strength of any mortal: he takes responsibility for the destruction of the Empire's super-weapon, the Death Star, takes a lesson in patience and wisdom from Yoda, the mentor of the Jedi Knights; he must choose between completing his training or trying to rescue his captured friends; He is faced with the horrific truth about his father's fate, and at that very moment he has to decide which side to take. And finally he takes an incredible risk, going straight into the hands of his enemies, hoping that in the depths dark soul One of the most terrifying villains in the Galaxy still has some kindness left.
