The character started off as a mere farm boy during the events of A New Hope but, by the time of his death in The Last Jedi , he was regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the entire galaxy.
He won round fans with his boyish charm during the original trilogy and, later, with his words of wisdom to a new generation of heroes. But can fans believe that Lucas originally had other plans in mind for his journey? According to reports , Lucas and his team were contemplating making Luke the new Vader.
If this was the case, how different would the movies have turned out? What if they agreed on a different plan altogether?
Let's start with the obvious one. With the Empire starting to tighten their grip on the galaxy and Jedi being picked off one by one, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda sent the youngster off to live with his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen.
He remains there all the way until the events of A New Hope , when Kenobi then begins training him. Had that not happened, Palpatine would likely have found both Luke and his sister, Leia. He could have trained the pair to be powerful dark side users and, once they were old enough, could have got rid of Darth Vader. Sith Lord Luke would have been a huge asset to the Emperor, so the Rebel Alliance should thank their lucky stars Kenobi and Yoda's plan succeeded.
Something that must have been pretty awkward to discover when one considers they kissed in the previous movie. If they weren't related, there's a possibility they could have become a couple. That's definitely pretty weird to write as it was, Leia ended up settling down with Han Solo instead.
Luke didn't marry anybody as far as we're aware , instead pledging himself to the force. Having wandered out too far, he's attacked by a Wampa. Thankfully, the beloved hero is able to get himself out of trouble but, even after escaping the beast, he nearly perishes due to the planet's extremely cold temperature.
Had Luke died then, the Rebel Alliance would have been in big problem. For all their resources, they had nobody capable of going toe to toe with both Darth Vader and the Emperor. Leia is force sensitive but, at this moment in the story, her powers are yet to come through.
Fans could imagine that the galaxy would have been subjected to imperial rule for many years to come. As a result, Leia and many other of the good guys wouldn't have lived for much longer. Of course, one of Luke's biggest achievements is destroying the first Death Star. Yet, while it's a spectacular thing for the former Tatooine farmboy to do, some reckon it didn't make much of a difference. After all, the Empire was very much on top during the early stages of the next movie.
And they just built another horrible space station instead. His act probably stopped the imperials from destroying many more of their enemies. But it didn't have the same impact the Rebels were hoping for given their immense strength and resources. Once there, he senses his friends are in danger, with Han and Leia being lured into a trap by Darth Vader on Cloud City. Yoda tells him to stay put but an emotional Luke decides to take matters into his own hands by setting off to save the people he loves.
Had Luke not done this, it's possible Han Solo would have been carted off to Jabba the Hutt, where he'd have stayed for far longer than he actually did. Leia and Chewbacca would have been imprisoned on the planet, and worst possible scenario, they could have all been killed.
It's a good job Luke turned up then. Although the vast catalogue of Legends stories are outside of canon, only one Star Wars title has explored a blatantly alternate timeline. Triggered by the smallest differences from the Original Trilogy, the galaxy could have looked very different from the one that fans have known.
Although Luke was discovered by Han Solo when he was lost on Hoth, Infinities considered a version of the story in which he met his demise.
In comparison to her twin brother, Leia seems like the ideal padawan. While on the swamp planet, she also learns how to duel with the new purple lightsaber she has created. In a moment of desperation during the fight, Han returns to save the day as he blasts the dark lord.
Throughout all three installments, Leia consistently has a promoted role in the action. From becoming a dark side user in the alternate version of A New Hope to facing down Darth Vader alongside her brother in the else-worlds Return of the Jedi, Leia is practically the star of the Infinities trilogy. Previously in Legends, Leia had gone down a similar route with her experience in the Force.
