Ranking Every Major Star Wars Movie Hero From Worst To Best

3. Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker Return Of The Jedi1
20th Century Fox / Lucasfilm

Luke Skywalker is the iconic Star Wars hero, the son of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. Trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, Luke evolved from a lonely farmhand into a powerful Jedi, capable of resisting Emperor Palpatine and defeating Darth Vader. He was brave and courageous in his prime, facing the Empire head on.

Luke was a skilled fighter, able to give Darth Vader a challenge with little training. In his later years, Luke trained the next generation of Jedi, before they were wiped out by Snoke and Kylo Ren. He gathered ancient texts and artefacts which made him into a knowledgeable and insightful Force user.

Despite his slightly cynical nature in the sequel trilogy, Luke still stepped up and faced down Kylo Ren and the whole First Order. In the end, Luke's legacy is that of a true Jedi and hero.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
