STAYED WITH HIS AUNT & UNCLE ON TATOOINE
An enactment which is not often think amongst Luke ’s greatest , but is selfless enough for its place here . Luke stayed on Tatooine to help his Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen because they ask aid , not because he wanted to be there .
Luke was vocal about his desire to link up the Rebellion inStar Wars ( A New Hope)and asked Owen to reconsider let Luke will sooner to do so , but Owen winnow out that . Luke could have well decided to run away , to attempt helper on set out off the planet , but he never does . Instead , Luke remain and helps Owen and Beru out with what they ask , which is selfless indeed .
JOINING THE REBELLION
speak of join the Rebel Alliance , that is exactly what he did and what he had desire to do for geezerhood , go out and fight against the Empire , and it is utterly altruistic that he want to do so .
Joining the Rebellion was no promiscuous choice . The Empire had a fast grip on the galaxy , the Rebel Alliance despite its powerful memberssuffered losses and was a long , hard journey for a small chance to defeat them . Luke could have lived an well-heeled living on Tatooine or another outside planet and keep a low profile , but he wanted to do good in the galaxy , to economize people and end the Empire ’s tyranny .
FORGIVING & KEEPING FAITH IN HIS FATHER
One affair fan adore about Luke is that he never drop off religious belief in his father . No matter what Vader did Luke always feel good inside him and so keep faith that the trade good could take over , andin the end , he forgave Vader for everything .
Luke may have had an easier time with matter had he just helped the Rebel Alliance and killed Vader on the second Death Star , or by ignoring Vader completely with no faith or forgiveness for him . But Luke ’s selflessness and his determination to bring out the goodness in his father led to him forgive his father .
TRAINED REY DESPITE KNOWING SHE WAS A PALPATINE
One of the openhanded revelations inThe Rise Of Skywalkerwas that not only that Rey was a Palpatine , but that Luke and Leia knew and trained her in spite of this . While we do not know the story or system of logic behind this information , it is selfless however .
Luke would have known the risk of exposure in rail a Palpatine , and he saw glimpse of it with Rey ’s crude power . But Luke still obviously seen the good in Rey and decided to develop her - after her convert him of line - and led herdown the Jedi course to the upshot that would and will unfold .
SAVING PRINCESS LEIA
In the famousA New Hopescene , Luke retrieve out Princess Leia is being carry in the Death Star and Luke convinces Han to help him save her and they venture down to cell block 2187 to save her .
Luke did not need to chance his sprightliness to save the Princess and it likely slowed down the escape cock from the Death Star . But of course Luke live on to salvage her , not just because of his schoolboy type infatuation on the princess from the holograph , but because it is in his nature to avail others .
SAVING HAN
This was another squad effort , coming 2 films later inReturn Of The Jediwhen Luke travels to Tatooine and Jabba ’s Palace to save his ripe supporter Han . In the process , he risks his life and the destiny of the galaxy since had he died , the Empire would never have been defeated .
Luke was never going to be killed by the likes of Jabba of course . But the fact Luke , Leia , and Lando , along with the droids took time away from the war with the Empire to go save their admirer is a testament to Luke ’s altruism and the aid he has for his friend .
SHOWING DARTH VADER COMPASSION
In the same picture , afterarriving on the 2nd Death Star and ensuing in a conflict with Darth Vader , Luke has the light opportunity to kill Vader after cutting off his hand . Luke does not take this chance , again highlighting his selflessness .
In that moment of utter emotion , Luke could have shine down his Church Father , he could have taken the easier choice . But he does not , instead , he spares his father and is nearly killed for it . In the death , Luke is repaid by his Father-God saving his aliveness and Luke ’s unequivocal altruism saves the beetleweed .
HANDING HIMSELF TO DARTH VADER & THE EMPEROR
Before that though , after arriving on the forest moonlight of Endor , Luke pass himself into the Empire , will Han , Leia , and co behind to complete the foreign mission . Luke does this to ferment his Father of the Church back to the light side of the Force .
Luke risked his life , live he would probably be lead in front of the Emperor , all to bring through his forefather and impart him back to the light . Handing himself in strictly for this purpose is heroic , selfless and one of his good moments . He could have just stay and aided the mission , but Luke had faith in his friends and bed what he had to do .
LEAVING HIS TRAINING TO SAVE HIS FRIENDS ON BESPIN
During his training with Yoda on DagobahinThe Empire Strikes Back , Luke can experience his friend in danger and curve his training short to face Vader and save his friends . This being despite Yoda ’s protests .
Luke knows it is a snare set for him there on Bespin but he does not care . While this is his emotion taking over , Luke does not care and at that moment his preparation , his safety equipment does not matter compared to the safety of his friends who he needs to economise .
SAVING THE RESISTANCE ON CRAIT
The ultimate sacrifice , inThe Last Jedi , while on Ach - To , Luke force projects himself to Crait to confront Kylo and stall , allow the Resistance to fly the coop , and therefore subsist . The act uses so much of Luke ’s energy and animation Force thatafter he finishes , he becomes one with the force .
