Who is Luke Skywalker?

"Buck Rogers, now venturing in the amazing worlds of the 20th Century!

By turning the little dial to project us ahead in time, we're able to be with Buck and his friends in The Amazing World of The Future! A World that sees a lot of our mechanical and technological dreams come True!

You know, there's nothing supernatural or mystic about Buck - he's just an ordinary guy, who keeps his wits about him..."

- Prologue, 

THX-1138

HE PAYS ATTENTION

and 

SPEAKS MAGIC WORDS.

"I want to learn The Ways of The Force,

and become a Jedi Like My Father."

[ He doesn't even know who His Father is ]

Luke Skywalker is an orphan boy Moisture Farmer, Who Dreams.

Who wishes for Adventure, receives a great treasure and joins a quest into The Underworld to Encounter His Dead Father, Grapple with a Dragon and Free The Princess.

Who Kept The Faith to Strike The Blow That Slew Beast of Tyrrany's Mighty Giant Ogre Champion

"You've Failed Your Highness —

I am a Jedi —

Like My Father Before Me "

[who is also a Dark Lord of The Sith]

Luke Skywalker is Darth Vader's Son.

The Shamanic Hero Who Will Ultimately Fight His Father Only to Defend His Twin Sister, and Yet Throws Away His Sword and Refuses to Kill.

A Self-Declared, Self-Initiated, Auto-Didactic Jedi Master.

And 

An Unknowing, Unwitting and Unacknowledged Dark Lord of The Sith.

"I failed. 

Because I was Luke Skywalker - Jedi Master.

A Legend."

[ Ideas are Real; We are Not. ]

Luke Skywalkwer is a Story Told to Children.

An Idea Powerful  Enough to Halt an Army Dead in It's Tracks.

A Spirit and a Legend that permeates Hyperspaces and propagates across The Galaxy in the the mouths of storytellers, bards and minstrels in excess of Super-Lightspeed, carried at The Speed of Thought.

Luke Skywalker is Thrice-Great.
