Wiki User. He is 23 years old. From what I know, Luke learned more about the old Jedi Order and created a new one. You can find out more on Wookieepedia. Yes, he does in episode 6 because he was getting to old and he wanted to see Luke Skywalker, his son with his own eyes, so Luke took off Vader's mask, which didn't alow Vader to breath in which killing him.

Luke Skywalker was named by his mother Amidala at the end of Episode 3 at his birth. Luke was played by Mark Hamill in Episode 4,5 and 6. In Episode 4, Luke is 19 years old. And since he and Leia are twin brother and sister, they are the exact same age.

They were 22 in Episode 5 and 23 in Episode 6. He found out partly in Episode 4 but it can be argued that he figgered it out in Episode 5 or even 6. In the movies themselves it is Luke Skywalker. However, there are many spin-offs set after episode 6 in which Luke has started a new Jedi order. In Episode 1 he was 8 in episode 2 he was 18 in episode 3 he was 20 in episode 4 he was 40 in episode 5 he was 42 and in episode 6 he was AnswerMark Hamill played Luke in episodes 4, 5, and 6.

Aiden Barton played him as a baby at the end of episode 3. Mark Hamil played luke skywalker in star wars episode 4, 5, and 6. The star wars was very exciting as Hamil played it, providing you with a sense of awesomeness into the trilogy. Anakin was played by Sebastian Shaw.

On Hoth in Episode 5, Luke is attacked by the Wampa while in the snow looking for a crashed metorite.

This helps to explain why he's so strong at this moment: while Force powers can develop with age, Luke is physically in his prime, and given he was already impressively-skilled in Return of the Jedi , has spent years better honing his gifts to be as good as possible. Mark Hamill, provided the voice for the character and had his own face digitally de-aged and superimposed onto Lloyd Jones' body - Hamill is years-old, so gets to appear here as a more than years-younger version of himself, around the same age gap as Leia Organa 19 and Carrie Fisher 60 when Rogue One: A Star Wars Story depicted a de-aged version of the Princess.

In both cases, while they may be some complaints about the CGI, it's the emotion and meaning of having those characters and actors involved that adds so much. The Mandalorian is far from the end of Luke Skywalker's story, of course.

The Kreel also told him that the Jedi Temple no longer existed, as it had been converted into the Imperial Palace—so whatever Skywalker was hoping to find was gone, as were the other Jedi temples in the galaxy. He then threw the lightsaber to Skywalker and removed the binds that the boy's hands were in.

While surrounded by MagnaGuards, the Kreel used a lightsaber of his own and engaged in a duel to begin preparing him for the arena match. Though the Kreel was not a Jedi, he was a more-skilled swordsman and quickly bested Skywalker.

Skywalker then engaged multiple MagnaGuards in combat. The big event soon arrived, and crime lords and other criminal types flocked to watch the death of the last Jedi. Skywalker spoke to Grakkus, who reminded him that no one wanted to watch him win and that everyone had paid to see him die, though the young Jedi believed he could succeed nonetheless.

Grakkus also revealed that scavengers had found Skywalker's X-wing and the Journal of Ben Kenobi, which Grakkus intended to add to his collection. The event began once Grakkus left, and Skywalker entered into the arena and was introduced as the last of the Jedi. The announcer claimed that he was a veteran of battles across the galaxy and that he had fought Hutts and bounty hunters alike, hyping up the untrained Jedi hopeful.

The announcer then introduced the Jedi's opponent: Kongo the Disemboweler , a large and fearsome creature from the dolovite mines of Mustafar. Skywalker ignited the green-bladed lightsaber that was given to him for the show and the fight began. The young Jedi slashed his blade at the creature, but the opponent's armor was resistant to a lightsaber blade and made it difficult for Skywalker to combat the creature.

He closed his eyes in an attempt to use the Force as his ally, but Kongo used the opportunity to throw Skywalker across the arena and knocking him onto the ground. The beast grabbed Skywalker as the audience cheered for Kongo to make the kill, and Skywalker tried calling out to Kenobi to ask for miracle. Just as he did so, the beast's shock collar was activated by Kreel, who revealed himself to Grakkus as an Imperial and announced he was taking Skywalker into custody.

Stormtroopers poured into the arena and surrounded Skywalker, arresting both him and the Hutt. Grakkus had one trick up his sleeve, though, and triggered an electromagnetic pulse that disabled the Imperials' blasters. Grakkus, skilled at combat in his own right, began fighting the weaponless stormtroopers, while other troops grabbed Skywalker.

Just then, the young Jedi saw that Artoo, who had infiltrated the palace, recovered his lightsaber and threw it into the arena, so Skywalker grabbed it and cut the soldiers down. Kongo chased the spectators out of the arena, and Skywalker while Kreel confronted Skywalker, knocking him to the ground and revealing his true identity as a stormtrooper of the st Legion tasked with arresting him.

Skywalker was saved by the timely arrival of Grakkus, who Kreel attacked as Skywalker got away. Skywalker regrouped with Solo, Organa, Chewbacca, and the droids, all of whom ultimately traveled to Nar Shaddaa to rescue their captive friend. Solo, Organa, and Chewbacca each wielded lightsabers that Artoo stole from the palace so they were not defenseless in the wake of the EMP blast, leading Skywalker to quip that Solo looked good with a lightsaber. Artoo recovered Kenobi's journal and Skywalker wanted to go back to the palace to recover more artifacts, but the arena was flooded with blaster-wielding stormtroopers so Chewbacca grabbed the resistant Skywalker and brought him out of the arena.

Though he was unable to acquire the relics in Grakkus' palace, the holocrons he activated gave Skywalker one important piece of information: the existence of a Jedi Temple on Vrogas Vas. Skywalker returned to the Alliance but still sought answers, so he traveled to Vrogas Vas and was stationed in orbit with Red Squadron, along with Blue Squadron and Yellow Squadron.

While in orbit and preparing for training exercises, Darth Vader [51] —who had learned of Skywalker's location from one of his associates, a rogue archaeologist named Aphra [52] —dropped out of hyperspace in his TIE Advanced x1 starfighter. Skywalker sensed that Vader was the pilot of the enemy starfighter, made a run towards him, and crashed his X-wing fighter into the Sith Lord's TIE Advanced.

The collision damaged both vessels and send them hurtling towards the surface of Vrogas Vas. Skywalker and Vader both survived the crashes of their starfighters, though they impacted on the surface in different places. The young Jedi crashed outside of the ruins of the Jedi Temple, from which he witnessed the destruction of Gray Squadron forces sent to attack Vader—part of a major Rebel operation to capture the lone Sith Lord.

He put off his search for answers and began to make his way towards the Rebel forces, determined to help his friends. Unknown to Skywalker was that, at the same time, he was being tracked by Vader's companions—Aphra and the assassin droids BT-1 and While the Sith Lord's followers prepared a plan to capture the boy, Skywalker found writings in the ruins that were written with a lightsaber, letting him deduce that the ruins were from the Jedi.

A cold feeling passed over him and he could sense the presence of what he thought was Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. He tried to concentrate, but he was interrupted by what he thought was Threepio's arrival. In reality, it was Triple-Zero, painted in gold by Aphra, who placed his metal hand on Skywalker and sent an electrical charge through the boy's body, knocking him unconscious.

Aphra and Triple-Zero prepared to take Skywalker hostage when Artoo stepped in to help. Bee Tee then brought his arsenal to bear on the rebel's astromech and chased him off.

Aphra and Triple-Zero then seized Skywalker but were stopped by the smuggler Han Solo, who had a sniper rifle aimed at them. Chewbacca then came in and attacked the protocol droid, ripping his arm off.

Skywalker then regained consciousness, dispatched Bee Tee, and sliced off Triple-Zero's other arm with his lightsaber. Skywalker and his allies then retreated when Bee Tee fired his weapons blindly.

They then lifted off in order to aid princess Leia. They were forced to the ground when their ship was crashed into by the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan. While Solo and Chewbacca dealt with the mercenary, Skywalker left to head back to the Jedi ruins. Luke arrived back at the the Jedi temple looking for Leia.

It was then that he heard the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who told him that he should not have come to this place and that he was not ready for what is coming. Luke was then intercepted by a company of stormtroopers who opened fire on him. He retreated behind cover but was hit in the head and knocked unconscious. Luke was taken prisoner by the forces of Commander Karbin. However Darth Vader, who had a rivalry with Karbin, used the force to crash the shuttle Skywalker was kept in.

They made their way back to the Millennium Falcon, however Dr. Aphra had laid out a minefield to stop them. When she was distracted she was knocked out from behind by Princess Leia. Believing her to be of use, Organa decided to take the archaeologist with them.

As they departed Vrogas Vas, Skywalker felt remorse that he would not be able to go back to the temple and see what was hidden there. Upon returning to the Rebel fleet with their new prisoner, Doctor Aphra, Skywalker and his friends went their separate ways; Organa, Artoo, and Threepio went to detain Aphra at an Alliance-controlled space station, Sunspot Prison , with the assistance of Sana Starros , whom Organa hired to transport them to the prison.

Meanwhile, Solo and Skywalker were dispatched to buy supplies for the rebellion. Solo attempted to double the money he was given for supplies by betting on sabacc.

However, he was caught cheating, and had to escape with Skywalker on the Millennium Falcon. Skywalker and Solo traveled to Nar Shaddaa where Luke was tasked with finding a customer in need of a ship.

He made a deal to haul nerfs to Ibaar for 5, credits, which was just enough to replace the credits lost by Solo. Skywalker and Solo were soon intercepted by TIE fighters who suspected the Falcon of smuggling illegal livestock. While on Ibaar, Skywalker blackmailed Solo into allowing him to fly the Falcon for a few parsecs by threatening to tell Leia about losing the credits in a Sabacc game.

After buying the supplies, Skywalker and Solo received a distress call from Sana and arrived at Sunspot Prison. They were immediately knocked out and taken captive by the masked assailant who was attacking the prison. Neither came to until after the battle had already ended and the attacker had been captured.

Sometime after the assault on Sunspot Prison, the Alliance established a temporary outpost on the Outer Rim planet Reamma. Organa gave Luke a mission to find a missing Alliance cargo vessel. Skywalker and R2-D2 prepared to make the flight to look for them.

Before they could do that, however, Organa informed Skywalker that the vessel reported in, cancelling the mission. Sometime later, Skywalker and Organa rendezvoused with rebel leadership. Admiral Ackbar , General Dodonna, and Mon Mothma presented them with the task of providing aid to the people of Tureen VII , a planet that had provided aid to the rebellion in the past. A heavily blockaded planet with Imperial bases on both of its moons and swarms of TIE fighters in orbit, the Alliance could not risk sending the fleet.

Luke and Leia proposed stealing an Imperial Star Destroyer and using it to infiltrate the blockade. Despite some reluctance from Dodonna, Ackbar and Mothma realized that it was the only choice left. Afer the hijacking of the Harbinger , Leia ended up grievously injured on the planet Skorii-Lei. Cared for by former engineer Pash Davane and carrying vital Alliance information, Organa was pursued by stormtroopers and barely managed to escape aboard the Millennium Falcon with Skywalker, Solo, and Chewbacca.

Aboard the Falcon , Davane provided Skywalker with Leia's data tape, which he noted was a sign of great trust between the two of them. With her place as a friend of the Alliance confirmed, Skywalker and his allies returned Davane to her home on Skorii-Lei. Despite the escape from the Harbinger , the heroes quickly realized that C-3PO was captured during the commotion, and Skywalker was unable to stop R2-D2 from commandeering an X-Wing to rescue the protocol droid on his own.

With his own X-wing's hyperdrive temporarily disabled, he resumed reading Ben Kenobi's journal. Identifying a symbol in the journal as a star map , Skywalker decided to visit the Vagadarr system after reading of a Jedi Master who had ventured there in the past and encountered enormous giants made of living stone that gave those in close proximity a power known as Stonepower. Like the Jedi Master before him, Skywalker was able to navigate through the planet's heavy debris field and land on the surface, where he encountered Garro , the last remaining native human, who initially wanted to use Skywalker's life force to kill the few remaining giant children.

Determined to protect them, Skywalker inspired Garro to change his mind and sacrifice his own life force to revive a dead giant. Skywalker and the giant children then ventured into the giant's cave to find the heart of the mountain and finish what Garro started in reviving the giant, thus completing the mission of the Master from years past and taking another step in his journey to becoming a Jedi.

Skywalker journeyed to the Screaming Citadel with the hope of learning more about the Jedi. Threatened by its denizens, he defended himself alongside Doctor Aphra and Black Krrsantan, who had lied to Sana Starros in order to find Skywalker..

Claiming to know where to find a Jedi Master, Aphra convinced an initially hesitant Luke to visit the Screaming Citadel with her.

While on the way, she introduced him to the Rur crystal of the ancient Jedi splinter group known as the Ordu Aspectu. Aphra claimed that introducing him to the Queen of Ktath'atn as a Jedi would allow them to reactive that crystal. At Ktath'atn, the entire party, except for Krrsantan were allowed into the citadel. Aphra presented Luke to the Queen who, unbeknownst to them, planned on eating Skywalker.

Having been selected by the Queen from a group of other creatures of interest, Doctor Aphra and Skywalker ate in a dining hall with the monarch.

The Queen commanded Luke to move a nearby dining tray with the Force, though he was unable to until the Queen's servant, Vespinax , threatened him with a knife to his throat.

Moving the tray revealed to the duo that the Queen planned on implanting them with an Abersyn symbiote , so they quickly made an attempt to escape. In the Citadel's hallway, they were nearly stopped by many of the Queen's thralls. Starros attempted to shoot Aphra, but Skywalker blocked the blast with his lightsaber, claiming that she was his friend. Meanwhile, the Queen's servants and armed security guards pursued the group, so they escaped into an Abersyn symbiote laboratory.

Aphra led Luke to a nearby room and sold him out to the Queen of Ktath'atn, who promptly enthralled him. Solo attempted to rescue him, but was quickly enthralled and forced to lead the Queen's forces. In an ensuing struggle, Skywalker managed to re-arm himself with his lightsaber and fell under the influence of an Abersyn symbiote, becoming more powerful than even the Queen, and proclaimed himself King of the hive. Doctor Aphra, deciding to return to save Luke, allowed Eternal Rur to enter his mind to assist him.

Rur advised Luke to use the symbiote to his advantage, claiming that tying the Force's abilities into the parasite's emotional drive would make him immensely powerful. Choosing to ignore Rur, Luke let go, connected to the Force, and was able to free himself of the symbiote's influence and strike down the Queen.

Han and all those under the Queen's control were freed, and the Citadel was destroyed by BT Reuniting with his friends, Luke told Aphra to stay away from them. Afterwards, the rebels and Aphra's crew escaped and went their separate ways. Skywalker later took part in a mission with Leia, piloting a Taylander shuttle with the princess. With Imperial TIE Fighters in pursuit, Skywalker was forced to fly into a nebula , which disabled the shuttle's systems, forcing them to crash land on an ocean planet.

Stranded on the planet for three weeks, Skywalker's experience with machinery such as moisture vaporators helped keep himself and Leia alive. Having to live off of the land, the two grew closer, relating to each other because of their status as orphans. They eventually realized that there was a native species living in the planet's ocean. Not wanting to bring the war to these people, Skywalker and Organa set a trap for the Imperial forces that were pursuing them.

Luke used the native's resouces, as well as his own lightsaber, to fend off an AT-AT and shoretroopers. Although close to being defeated, Leia used a flaming arrow to light explosive chemicals and disable the AT-AT.

Afterwards, they were able to repair the shuttle and return to the Rebel Fleet. They saved R2's X-wing from Darth Vader and escaped in hyperspace. The team arrived there, discovering the devastation.

Fearing further danger, they left without burying the rebel troopers, but Skywalker insisted that they honor the dead. Together they built a cremation pile before leaving. Luke journeyed to the ravaged moon of Jedha, where he gained insight into the Dark Side of the Force.

Having traveled throughout the galaxy with his friends, Luke and his fellow rebels journeyed to what remained of the moon Jedha , the site of one of the Death Star's tests. On the ashy moon, Luke and Leia defended what remained of Saw Gerrera 's Partisans from invading snowtroopers and brought them aboard the Millennium Falcon.

Moving to NaJedha , the planet that Jedha orbitted, Luke met Chulco Gi , an aspirant to the Disciples of the Whills , someone wou could potentially guide him in learning about the Force. Gi led the rebels to the rest of the Partisans on Jedha and placed hoods over their heads, in keeping with Partisan tradition. Led by Benthic , Saw Gerrera's former second-in-command, the remaining extremists held guns at their fellow rebels' heads.

Benthic questioned why the Alliance would attempt to mend their relations with the Partisans and return to Jedha, and Leia revealed that the Empire had resumed mining Kyber crystals on the planet and that the Alliance hoped to aid the Partisans in fighting against the Empire. Though wary of Alliance support, Benthic was nonetheless willing to accept some aid. Luke, shaken by the Partisans' extreme methods, was conflicted by agreeing to help them, but specforces operative Ubin Des reassured him that it was the right thing to do.

Later in the ruined settlement of Ai-jed , Luke, Chulco, and Ubin contemplated why people would stay on a ruined planet. Stormtroopers armed with flamethrowers attempted to incinerate the remaining civilians, but Luke lashed out against them with his lighstaber, cutting them all down.

Realizing all that was at stake in the Galactic Civil War, Skywalker approached Benthic with Han Solo and wholeheartedly agreed to assist him in his fight. Their first target was the drill citadel , a mining device from the planet Shu-Torun that the Empire began using to mine Kyber crystals on Jedha.

Benthic and Luke scaled the drill citadel and the Tognath ruthlessly killed the station's guards, much to Skywalker's chagrin. Benthic held a technician at gunpoint and forced him to lower the citadel's shields before killing him as well.

Later, a disillusioned Chulco asked Luke to accompany him to meet the Central Isopter , a death-worshipping cult that Gi claimed was wise in the Force. Although Luke was hesitant to seek the guidance from someone other than a disciple of the Jedi, he nonetheless was willing to go along. Leia attempted to convince him that his duty to the Alliance was most important, but Luke believed that becoming a Jedi and avenging all those slain by Darth Vader was the most important duty to him.

Entering a chasm alongside Gi, the duo were attacked by a sand slug , a giant, normally herbivorous animal negatively influenced by the Dark Side of the Force. Able to slay the beast, Skywalker and Gi were finally confronted by the Central Isopter, who claimed that they had come to join them "in the shadow of death. The cult implored Skywalker and Gi to meditate and listen to the chasm's call. They both did, but Luke refused to let the Dark Side take hold of him.

However, Chulco was possessed by the darkness and attacked Luke, forcing the Jedi trainee to strike him down. The cultists then announced that they had received a distress call from Chewbacca, who was being pursued by a TIE fighter over NaJedha.

Luke borrowed a ship, was able to destroy the TIE fighter and bring an injured Chewie to the planet, where he provided the Alliance with the plans for the Leviathan , a mobile fortress able to strip mine Kyber crystals from Jedha. Han, Leia, and Benthic formed a strategy to destroy the Leviathan using the plans Chewbacca obtained.

After the meeting, Luke ruminated on the sacrifice Rogue One made to get the Death Star plans to the Alliance, ultimately leading to him making the shot that destroyed the battle station. Skywalker made his way to the bridge of the Leviathan and held its commander, Kanchar , hostage but the Imperial's cybernetic arm was equipped with a blade able to defend against Luke's lighstaber.

Kanchar pursued Luke throughout the ship with his cybernetic arm's blade and flamethrower. Eventually leading the officer to the crawler's hangar, Skywalker activated an ion torpedo, which shut down Kanchar's cybernetics and allowed Luke to knock him out. Having taken total control of the Leviathan with the help of the double-crossing Queen Trios , the rebels brought it to Jedha's chasm, destroye it, and escaped with not much time to spare.

Having saved what remained of Jedha and made allies in the form of the Partisans and Queen Trios, Luke and his friends left Jedha. During the investigation, they ran into native droids and a male Duros named Akar Duel. Their actions made the group leave Lotho Minor, believing that the planet was not a good location for a new rebel base. Upon arriving on the desert world, Skywalker sensed through the Force that there was something more at play beyond the actions of a few mercenaries.

He requested the assistance of an agent who had a reputation for desert warfare and, together, the two defeated the mercenary outposts. The two also discovered from Imperial operatives in the sector that Imperial supplies were being ferried from Nar Shaddaa to Er'Kit, suggesting a large-scale operation was under way. Eventually, Skywalker and the agent arrested the mercenary leader and tracked down the last members of Malachor Company, who had holed up in an empty village.

Among the mercenaries' possessions, Skywalker and the agent discovered a document proving that Malachor Company was preparing to ship supplies somewhere, and its coordinates led Skywalker and the agent to an Imperial base on the planet. They subsequently attacked several Imperial bases until they found intelligence pertaining to the Empire's operation on the planet.

Once they located the base from which the Imperials deployed most of their forces on the planet, Skywalker assaulted it with the assistance of Princess Organa. The Rebels razed the base, dealing an important blow to the Empire's operations on Er'Kit, but they still lacked vital information on what the Empire's true purpose was on the planet.

Skywalker gradually discovered Imperial logs detailing how Malachor Company had been hired by the Imperial Security Bureau and were tasked with forcibly relocating natives to make room for Project Hidden Eye. This ISB operation was intended to create cybernetic sleeper agents who could be deployed throughout the galaxy and spy on galactic citizens on behalf of the ISB.

Upon its discovery, Project Hidden Eye was nearly ready to deploy its first wave of spies. To prevent the operation from being carried out, Skywalker and the agent led their troops to the base that housed Project Hidden Eye.

They fought through its staging area and ultimately took out the installation, ending the Imperial project for good. Skywalker thanked the agent for their service and then remained on Er'Kit for a short time, helping the Rebel Alliance execute additional missions on the desert world.

Played by Mark Hamill for over four decades, Luke was introduced as the first central protagonist of the franchise created by George Lucas. He made his debut in 's Star Wars , and went on to appear in five more sequels before the epic Skywalker Saga came to an end in The events of the nine-film saga were set across 67 total years in the Star Wars universe.

Though Luke was heavily involved in two trilogies, the character didn't yet exist for most of the prequel series. That said, the various time jumps saw Luke age from a young adult to a hardened man who endured a lot in life.
