Luke Skywalker

The extreme will of Luke Skywalker's adventure from Tatooine is from Luke wanting to help Obi Wan Kenobi and be like his father. Even though Luke has to help his Aunt and Uncle with the farm and can't go with Obi Wan Kenobi in the beginning, Luke goes back to the farm to realize the Storm Troopers traced information back to his family and killed them. After he discovers the murder of his family, Luke goes back to Obi Wan Kenobi, C-3P0 and R2-D2 and decides to follow in his father's footsteps to learn the ways of the Force, learn how to use a Lightsaber, and help Obi Wan Kenobi and the Rebellion. Clearly, everything Luke had in life is now gone so he needs to start over and he does this by leaving his home, Tatooine, and going with Obi Wan Kenobi into outerspace to train and be like is father. Even though Luke does not realize that his father is on the Dark Side and tries to kill him, he still wants to be like what he knows of him.
