I: How a Farm Boy From Tatooine Can Find a Dark Lord of The Sith
"Hello, my name is Luke Skywalker. You killed my father, prepare to die!"
The same words rang in the farm boy from Tatooine every single day since he first learned of how his late father met his end.
Those were the words he would say the first time he killed a man-a monster. A Sith Lord.
Though Luke was raised by his aunt and uncle to live a quiet, easy going, and boring life, it was in his blood and his fate to live to do greater things. And he always knew, somehow. He just confirmed that when at ten years old, he met Old Ben Kenobi, who was bent on training young Luke to be a Jedi Knight.
Kenobi would not have been able of convincing the boy, if it wasn't for the fact that he claimed to have known Luke's father.
With the prospect of learning whatever happened to Anakin Skywalker, Young Luke sneaked out of his home every day, to spend hours in the company of Ben Kenobi in his humble hut, where for the most part he would listen to stories the old man told about himself and Luke's father; stories that almost seemed too crazy to be true. Yet they were; all of them, without the slightest bit of exaggeration.
Kenobi gained Luke's trust by sharing some of the missions and adventures he and Skywalker had during the Clone Wars—till he enticed and inspired Luke enough to begin his own training.
All was well, until…
Until Luke asked Kenobi how Anakin died. "A fallen Jedi", Kenobi said. "Betrayed and murdered…" Luke was overcome with pain. I will avenge him! The young Jedi swore and said!
For years Luke trained, determinate on finding the traitor and murderer: Darth Vader! He should be easy to find, Luke thought, after all, there couldn't be many walking black robots sporting red lightsabers.
Yet getting out of the sandy hole that was Tatooine proved to be a challenge.
It wasn't until a few months before Luke's nineteen birthday that he found a way to escape his prison.
The young man had heard of the rebellion working to overthrow the Galactic Empire, and though he had every intention of joining them, he had thought it best to wait till after his father was avenged.
But when the rebels provided him with the opportunity to leave Tatooine… well, the time to leave the cradle had come.
Young Luke found himself traveling from world to world, almost losing sight of why he was doing what he was doing. In many occasions he used his Jedi insight and Force abilities to help others—and in a matter of months, he became notorious within the Rebel Alliance.
Thinking with anger of how he was disappointing his father, even if helping the greater good of the galaxy, he decided to not accept any mission till after his revenge was fulfilled, which of course he ended up delaying any way.
But oh well… it was a part of Luke Skywalker to be heroic, he didn't know why, but he could never abandon the innocent. If he was in a position to help, there was no way in any Hell he wouldn't do it. He was the ultimate hero.
The drill was this: A princess. The princess from Alderaan. She had been kidnapped by some pirate.
