Line 13:
A [[Farm Boy]] from a [[Single Biome Planet|desert planet]], Luke discovers that his father was a Jedi and that he can be one too. This led to him becoming a major figure in the [[La Résistance|Rebel Alliance]], the savior of the galaxy, leader of the reborn Jedi Order and all-around [[Badass]].
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Even before he blew up the Death Star, [[Improbable Aiming Skills|He was capable of bull-eyeing 6 and-a-half foot targets at supersonic speeds.]]
* [[Adorkable]]: His ''awful'' 1970's hairstyle really helps.
* [[Artificial Limbs|Artificial Hand]]: Replaces the one he lost fighting Vader in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Skywalker.
* [[Badass]]
** [[Ambadassador]]: At the beginning of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
Line 28:
** Another one in [[Return of the Jedi|the final duel]] when Vader suggests to turn Leia to the [[Dark Side]].
* [[Black Cloak]] / [[In the Hood]]: This is how he makes his entrance to Jabba's palace in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]: He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his father died during the Clone Wars [[The Reveal|or at least he was told that.]]
* [[Cool Spaceship]]: The Incom T-65 X-wing starfighter.
* [[Did Not Get the Girl]]: Considering the girl is later revealed to be his sister, this [[Justified Trope|is a good thing.]] He has to wait for the [[Expanded Universe]] for his own chance at romance.
* [[Don't Think, Feel]]: A major part of his Jedi training.
* [[Dork Knight]]: Before he [[Took a Level in Badass]]
* [[Farm Boy]]: He was a moisture farm hand on Tatooine before he recieved the [[Call to Adventure]]
* [[Generation Xerox]]: To Anakin Skywalker.
** Also, he's alot like Padme with his almost messianic sense of compassion.
Line 40:
** While being trained by Yoda in only the span of a few weeks/months, Luke's powers grew so strong that he was capable of feats most Jedi need years of training to perform. Even without any formal combat training or experience using the force in a duel, he was still able to put up a good fight against his father on Bespin. Keep in mind Vader can casually [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] most experience Jedi that engage him in combat. He had to put in real effort(though not his best) in his first duel with his son.
* [[Grew a Spine]]: When he leaves Yoda's training to rescue Han and Leia on Bespin.
* [[The Heart]]: Why Han [[Changed My Mind, Kid|came back to save him.]]
* [[The Hero]]: For the Original Trilogy trilogy and much of the Expanded Universe
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Decides to rescue his friends from Vader although he has little chance against him.
** Also, joining [[La Résistance|the Rebel]] attack on the Death Star despite its low chance of success, as [[Lampshaded]] by Han.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: His last fight with Vader in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: [[Refusal of the Call|Not at first,]]<nowiki/>but [[The Call Knows Where You Live|then his aunt and uncle were killed.]]
* [[Kung Fu Jesus]]: Since he's a [[Messianic Archetype]] who's also a Jedi.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: He is the said to be the last Jedi knight to be alive from Yoda's death to the foundation of a new Jedi Order.
Line 62:
* [[Psychic Powers]]: Luke has mastered them by the start of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: Watch very closely as Luke Skywalker [http://irregularwebcomic.net/373.html first ignites his lightsaber] in ''[[Star Wars]]: [[A New Hope]]'' — he doesn't know how long the beam is and yet is pointing it at Obi-Wan.
* [[Sneaky Departure]]: When he goes to confront Vader in [[Return of the Jedi]]
* [[Sword and Gun]]: He uses both his blaster and lightsaber in ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' before only using his lightsaber in ''[[Return of the Jedi]]''.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: Once he learns his father was a Jedi he asks several questions about him.
* [[Training from Hell]]: With Yoda.
* [[Unskilled But Strong]]: Luke has a high level of force potential that he inherited from his father Anakin Skywalker and his potential is much higher than even normal Jedi. With only a few weeks/months of training Luke could perform feats most Jedi take years to be able to do. By the time he leaves Yoda on Dagoba, he is connected to the force and can feel it unconsciously, He can sense people and communicate telepathically with others, and he was able to hold his own against his father who has decimated armies single handedly. In spite of that, he had then yet to achieve full control, had no experience using the force in battle-especially against another trained force user-and often struggled to adapt when using the force in combat.
Line 83:
A smuggler originally hired by Obi-Wan to provide him transport to [[Doomed Hometown|Alderaan]], Han (and his [[Cool Ship]], the ''Millenium Falcon'') became central to the fate of the galaxy. An [[Ace Pilot]] with a [[Deadpan Snarker|sarcastic streak]] and [[I Work Alone|no particular loyalties]] ([[Character Development|initially]]), Han was played by [[Harrison Ford]], who [[Throw It In|improvised many of the character's best lines]].

* [[Psychic Powers]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Has one of the suckiest lives (and [[My Death Is Just the Beginning|afterlife?]]) of any character in fiction, but remains calm, never complains, and usually keeps his emotions well in check. When he starts screaming or gets visibly upset, you know shit just got real.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Wookiees are normally [[Gentle Giant|Gentle Giants]] but they still can and will rip your arms out of your sockets if you get on his bad side.

Line 300 ⟶ 301:
* [[Gentle Giant]]

Line 307 ⟶ 310:

* [[Smart People Play Chess]]: Even if he is not at R2's level. The scene sets up his [[Genius Bruiser]] status.

* [[Starfish Language]]/[[The Unintelligible]]: Chewie's only lines are growls, barks, and grunts. The script actually had lines of dialogue for Peter Mayhew to recite in order to make the other characters reactions to him more genuine.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: ''"No disintegrations."'' The reason for Vader specifying this to Fett has yet to be explained, though it is mentioned in the Daniel Keys Moran short story "The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett".
** It would later be explained he once threw a treacherous Imperial Officer Vader wanted alive.
{{quote|"Vader always said that, after that one time..."}}
* [[The Other Marty]]: His voice was changed in the classic trilogy's first DVD release. Obviously, this led to [[Internet Backdraft]]. Lucasfilms responded by releasing a second set that included the Special Edition (with the new voice) and the Original Theatrical Edition (with the first voice).

* [[Pet the Dog]]: The Twi'lek dancer he was talking to in Jabba's Palace? He saved her from a group of slavers when she was little girl and checking up on her.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: A minor one: He was Gial Ackbar's master when the former was a slave, and its implied that he treated him pretty decently.
** He also promoted General Romondi to be his advisor despite the fact he was senile because they served together in the Empire's early days fighting Separatist holdouts.
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: Between betraying the Rebellion or Leia's home planet. Leia betrays the Rebellion. [[Complete Monster|Tarkin blows up her planet anyway]].
