In an alternative ending pitched by Lucas for the original Star Wars trilogy's final film, Return of the Jedi (1983), Luke assumed his father's role as Darth Vader after the latter's death and intending to rule in his place. Though co-writer Lawrence Kasdan favored the idea, Lucas ultimately declined, since the films were made for children. [12] Another conclusion to the film featured the character disappearing into the wilderness akin to " Clint Eastwood in the spaghetti westerns." [13] Special thanks to Yutaka Tanaka, Brian Cameron, Rebel Scum, and Jedi Bibliothek for many of the cover images. Luke Skywalker remains an American cultural icon. He is often used by child psychotherapists to help children to project their thoughts and state of being in a way that is understandable to both the child and their therapist. [84] Another way that therapists utilize Star Wars in sessions is to teach their patients that the Force represents the self-understanding that they achieve in therapy. Children are taught that they are Luke and their therapist is Obi-Wan, in that eventually, as Luke no longer needed his mentor, they will one day no longer need their therapist. [85] Later editions of the novelization were published under altered titles to reflect the retitling of the film, such as Star Wars: A New Hope, and Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

Though Luke's surname was "Skywalker" in Lucas's 1973 treatment of The Star Wars, [5] it was changed to "Starkiller" in subsequent drafts, at one point featuring in the title ( The Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Starkiller). The "Starkiller" surname remained for the first few months of production; [6] [7] Hamill used the name "Luke Starkiller" the sole time he referred to himself during filming, in a scene during which a stormtrooper helmet obscures his mouth; [8] this was dubbed "Skywalker" in the film. "Starkiller" was dropped due to what Lucas called "unpleasant connotations" with Charles Manson. [9] Lawler, Richard (May 10, 2014).

The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight · In Pictures: The Original Trilogy · Movie Theater Storybook · The Original Trilogy Stories One thing I really, really loved is the scene where the Millenium Falcon has infiltrated the Death Star, and Han and Luke have to overpower a few Stormtroopers to steal their armour and disguise themselves. A senior officer then calls out to one of the unconscious Stormtroopers over the radio, asking him why he's not reporting in. The scene is incredibly brief, and though it happens in both the book and the movie, there's a really cool difference between the two versions. Here is the scene as it occurs in the book: Breznican, Anthony (December 20, 2015). "J.J. Abrams explains R2-D2's closing scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens". Entertainment Weekly.

Another deleted scene from the movie that appears in the book is the scene were Han Solo talks to Jabba the Hut (spelled with just one “T” in the book) outside his ship on Tatooine. This scene was included in the Special Editions of the movie, but in the book it happens as it was originally filmed: with Han speaking to the man Jabba. Jabba the Hutt is a human being in this scene. Personally, I love it in the Special Editions of the movie when Han says to the giant slug “you’re a wonderful human being.” It’s not as fun of a line when he actually is a human. So, what’s new in the prose novelization that there wasn’t in the movie (counting the Special Editions’ additions)?Collected in a picture book for the first time, McQuarrie's art is paired with captivating text by New York Times bestselling author Tony DiTerlizzi-a winning combination that will delight Star Wars fans old and new and delight generations of readers to come.

Several other portions of the novel deviate from the film, including scenes that were filmed but not inserted into the final cut of the movie. Most notable of these are scenes with Luke Skywalker and his friends at Tosche Station on Tatooine. Also included is the scene with Jabba the Hutt that was re-inserted in the Special Edition of the film; however, in this novelization he is written as a fat biped with an ugly, "shaggy skull" and "jowels" that shake with his head, and he has scars that are a sign of his ferocious reputation in combat. This differs both from the script's version of Jabba (which is described as a creature with "eyes on stalks"), and the giant slug creature that finally appeared in Return of the Jedi. There is a point in the book where Darth Vader refers to Tatooine as “a miserable outpost world.” That holds a little more weight coming from him knowing that he spent his childhood on the planet as a slave. a b "Stover To Pen Luke Skywalker Novel".
