LUKE SKYWALKER 12" Action Figure STAR WARS THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY COLLECTION Hasbro Toy
Under the guidance of wise and gentle Jedi Master
Obi-Wan Kenobi,
Luke Skywalker embarks upon a mission to aid the Rebellion against the cruel Empire of
Emperor Palpatine and
Darth Vader, enlisting the services of the bold and brash smuggler
Han Solo and his loyal Wookiee co-pilot
Chewbacca. Discovering the beautiful
Princess Leia scheduled for execution aboard the Death Star itself, Luke's noble endeavor soon turns into a fumbling rescue and a desperate escape. All now depends on the heroes escaping the Empire's grip and restoring the secret plans to the Rebels to help them fell the Emperor.
From ordinary surroundings, Luke undertakes an epic journey, as much of growth in himself as one of distance and time, to become something greater than he could have ever imagined, a hero. Though he wields a lightsaber and flies a starfighter, Luke is still a young man at heart, just like any other, struggling to find himself in the universe. It is this that connects him with his legions of fans. When audiences see the universe of
Star Wars, it is through the eyes of this restless youth. It is his yearning, his anger, his triumph that fans share in as they follow his journey, and it is through his eyes that the amazing universe of Star Wars unfolds before us. The original film concludes with a celebration of the Rebel victory at Yavin IV, with the young moisture farmer recognized for his great deeds and heroism. Thirty years after the original release of Star Wars, it is hard not to feel the same swell of pride and satisfaction to see Luke march down the colonnade of Rebel forces to receive his due.
