LUKE SKYWALKER HERO JOURNEY

Hero Description

Bibliography

The author states of herowikia says, “Much like his father, Anakin Skywalker, Luke is intelligent, wise, selfless, brave, prideful, impulsive, and loyal. He has a sense of justice, honor and good morals; of course, like his father, he is sometimes overconfident, short-tempered, hot-headed, aggressive, unpredictable, impatient, difficult, and emotionally insecure.” This quote gives us a good description of what our hero Luke Skywalker is like. These descriptions such as intelligent,selfless, and courageous are all must have personality traits for a hero.

Return back home

Unusual Birth

After lukes battle on endor he travels the galaxy looking for more jedi. Then after training Han solos son and him turning evil and massacaring the other Jedi lukes exiles himself in shame and guilt.

Luke skywalker had a very unusual birth partly because his mother died while giving birth to him and his sister. The quote, “An injured Padmé Amidala taken to Polis Massa where she gave birth to Luke and his sister Leia on the asteroid colony and moments after Padmé died. It was decided that both be separated to protect them both from their Sith-turned father Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, with Luke being taken in by his uncle Owen Lars and his girlfriend (and future wife) Beru Whitesun, while Leia was adopted by Alderaan Senator Bail Organa.” shows us how horrible the circumstances of his birth really were.

Call To Adventure

Reconciliation with his father figure

Luke finally comes to terms with his evil father after the fight with the emperor. Darth vader saves lukes life and finally stops his evil doing over love and compassion towards his son. The quote, "

Vader rose and threw the Emperor down a deep shaft, his true self reawakened by his son’s love. Luke had one final moment with his father, and escaped the space station before it was destroyed. The once reckless farmboy’s journey was complete: he was a mature Jedi, freedom was restored to the galaxy, and his compassion had saved his father."

“He takes his first steps toward his destiny when he finds two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, the latter of whom is carrying a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi, known to Luke as the hermit old Ben Kenobi. Obi-Wan tells Luke that his father was a Jedi and presents him with his father's light saber. He then tells him that his father was murdered by a traitorous Jedi named Darth Vader. Obi-Wan offers to take Luke to Alderaan and train him in the ways of The Force, but Luke rejects his offer.” This quote from herowikia shows us how at first luke did not accept obi wans offer to train him as a jedi at first But then later he does accept his offer as shown in this quote , “Luke changes his mind when he discovers his aunt and uncle have been killed by Imperial storm troopers, however. He and Obi-Wan obtain passage with the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca on their ship, the Millennium Falcon, only to find that Alderaan has been destroyed by the Empire's new super-weapon, the Death Star.”

Achieving his goal

Supernatural helper

Lukes goal was to destroy the dark side and restore peace to the galaxy. He does this when he goes to the emperors ship and does this ,

“Calming himself, Luke threw away his weapon. “I am a Jedi, like my father before me,” he said. The Emperor, confounded by Luke’s actions, unleashed Force lightning upon the young Jedi. Vader rose and threw the Emperor down a deep shaft, his true self reawakened by his son’s love. Luke had one final moment with his father, and escaped the space station before it was destroyed. The once reckless farmboy’s journey was complete: he was a mature Jedi, freedom was restored to the galaxy, and his compassion had saved his father.”

Luke's supernatural helper is a jedi knight known as obi wan kenobi. Obi wan helps luke and trains him until his other supernatural helper, yoda is there to train him. “Despite his minimal level of training, Luke is highly skilled in lightsaber combat and he is an extremely gifted duelist. After only one brief session with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was able to hold his own against Darth Vader, a far more experienced and powerful combatant all together, on three different occasions.” this is an excellent example that shows obi wans role in the story.

Trials

Special weapon

Crossing the threshold

Luke's special weapon was his lightsaber whic was his father. The sentence, "He takes his first steps toward his destiny when he finds two droids, C-3PO and R2-D2, the latter of whom is carrying a message for Obi-Wan Kenobi, known to Luke as the hermit old Ben Kenobi. Obi-Wan tells Luke that his father was a Jedi and presents him with his father's light saber." is a good quote showing how luke recieved this special weapon.

“Over the next few years, he fought in many of the most important battles of the Galactic Civil War, helping to found Rogue Squadron and fighting Imperial forces across the galaxy. In 3 ABY, Skywalker received Jedi training from Yoda, and learned from Vader that the Sith Lord was his father. One year later, he fought in the Battle of Endor, and succeeded in turning his father back to the light. Thanks to Skywalker, Palpatine was killed, and the Empire was dealt a crippling blow. One year later, the New Republic was formed.” This quote shows how lue progressed into his role as the hero.

Luke faced many challenges and trials along the way such as, "Through a trap door, he dispatched the Jedi into an underground dungeon and unleashed his massive rancor creature. But to the shock of Jabba and his henchmen, Luke was able to destroy the beast. Incensed, the gangster sentenced Luke and his friends to die in the Sarlacc, but again, the Jedi was underestimated. Luke decimated Jabba’s men, and the group of heroes completed their rescue.” and also

1.“They dueled, but Luke was outmatched and overpowered. Luke was battered and bloodied in the fight, losing a hand, and the Sith Lord revealed a frightening truth: that he was in fact Luke’s father. Vader wanted his son to join him on the dark side, and together they could overthrow the Emperor and rule the galaxy. Luke was shattered and in disbelief. He refused to turn, managing to escape with his life.”
