Not much I can say here that most people don’t already know. This is the original Luke in his Tatooine clothes - how he looked throughout most of the first movie. This figure came on cards for all three movies, including another ROTJ card with a different background picture (he’s seated at the control of a Millennium Falcon quad-gun). His only accessory is a built-in lightsaber, which Kenner inexplicably made yellow, instead of the blue hue it was in the film. Maybe to differentiate it from the Obi-Wan’s lightsaber which was also blue. His hair was sometimes yellow, sometimes a light brown.
Why should you own this figure? Five reasons:
1. C’mon! He’s the main character of the original trilogy!
2. Simulate the whining! “But I wanted to go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!”
3. For my money there is no finer pilot…of the Landspeeder.
4. Have him fight Darth Vader! I know I did – even though they barely even saw each other in the original film.
5. Have your Han figure bitch-slap him for complaining all the time. “This ain’t like dusting crops boy.”
Backstory:Born in Revenge of the Sith, raised by his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru on blue milk, joined the Rebel Alliance, overthrew the Empire, killed his dad, and became a Jedi Knight. In the novels, after the movies, he eventually marries a fellow Jedi named Mara Jade (who used to work for the Emperor) and they had a son named Ben. He had many adventures which are too numerous to go into here.
