Description
Tatooine
The Tatooine Luke Skywalker variants are based on Luke wearing his farming clothes when he was on Tatooine, which he wore during most of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The 1999 version of the Tatooine Luke was first released in the set 7110 Landspeeder, which was a part of the first ever wave of Star Wars sets. This version of Luke has a tan-coloured hairpiece with a yellow head. The head has black printing for the eyes and mouth, and has a neutral expression overall. The torso piece is white with yellow hands, and has printing on the front- a brown belt with a silver buckle and other attachments, a yellow neck at the top of the piece, black outlining for the neck area and the join of the shirt with a dashed grey line underneath the join, and other grey marks in four places for creases. The legs are tan-coloured with a white leg joint. The legs feature white printing at the top for the continuation of the shirt with a grey crease on each leg, and outlining for the shirt's join on the right leg, continuing on from the torso. Underneath this area around the knees on each leg is a a rectangular area outlined in black, with several black lines inside each box. In 4501 Mos Eisley Cantina, Luke comes with an accessory- a blue-bladed lightsaber.
Background
Luke Skywalker was the son of the former Queen and Senator of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and twin brother of Leia. When his mother died after giving birth to him and Leia, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi took Luke to the remote world of Tatooine to hide him from his father, who had turned to the Dark Side and become the Sith Lord Darth Vader. For the next nineteen years of his life, Luke lived and grew up on his Uncle Owen Lars' and Aunt Beru's moisture farm. He owned a landspeeder, and was known to have raced T-16 Skyhoppers with his best friend Biggs Darklighter. One day, Luke his uncle purchased two droids, R2-D2, and C-3PO to help out on the farm. After Owen and Beru were killed by the Empire's Stormtroopers, he went with former Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi - who told him his father was a Jedi Knight, and gave him his father's lightsaber. After Obi-Wan's's death at the hands of Luke's father Darth Vader, Luke helped destroy the Death Star, with the help of Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, R2-D2,C-3PO, and all of the rebel alliance in the battle of Yavin and became a known leader in the rebel alliance. He then helped in the battle of Hoth but the Empire forces outmatched the rebels and the rebels scattered across the galaxy, eager to escape the Empire's attack. He flew to Dagobah and was trained by Jedi Master Yoda. His training was interrupted when Luke sets off to Bespin to save his friends, and Han Solo was frozen in carbonite. When dueling with Darth Vader, the Sith Lord cut off Luke's right hand, and he lost his lightsaber along with it. It was then that Darth Vader revealed to Luke that he was his father. Luke escaped, and after going to other adventures, he created his own green lightsaber. He went back to Tatooine to save Han Solo from the hands of Jabba the Hutt. Eventually, Luke visited Yoda on Dagobah again but whilst there, Yoda died of old age. Soon Luke dueled his father again on the second Death Star above the forest moon of Endor, and though he defeated him, he refused to finish him off, knowing it would turn him to the dark side. The furious Emperor Palpatine unleashed his force lightning upon Luke. Because of this, his father came back to the light side and threw Palpatine into the core of the Death Star, killing him and saving Luke. However, Anakin's suit was badly damaged by the force lightning of the Dark Lord and he soon died in Luke's hands. Luke burned his father's remains in a fire in a Jedi tradition, but later saw Obi-Wan, Yoda, and his redeemed father Anakin Skywalker as Force spirits.
