The character in question is the primary protagonist of the original Star Wars film trilogy, Luke Skywalker.

For retro enthusiasts, this classic side scrolling action trilogy on the Super Nintendo was incredibly impressive for the time while also staying true to the events of each respective film. Although players are given control of other characters in the Star Wars universe, much of the action revolves around Luke, from the intense Battle of Hoth all the way to the climactic showdown with Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi.
As is true with many titles from the SNES era of gaming, the Super Star Wars trilogy can be extremely difficult, even for seasoned players of the game. Combining a hefty challenge as one of the hardest Super Nintendo games, dazzling 16-bit graphics and all the charm one can expect from the Star Wars universe, these old school action games are sure to delight longtime fans of the franchise.
Although technically not following any particular Star Wars character or event and serving as more a representation of the series as a whole, Star Wars Battlefront is still an exciting video game adaption of the franchise. Visually stunning recreations of iconic Star Wars landmarks are everywhere and the heroes and villains are furthermore handled with care and careful attention to the source material.
Luke Skywalker himself is depicted in his prime, as a Jedi Master, donning his now iconic uniform from Return of the Jedi. The games make great use of Luke’s force powers and experience with lightsaber combat, capable of mowing down dozens of Stormtroopers before they can even reach a blaster.

Many of the missions in both the first game and its two Rogue Squadron sequels on the GameCube feature events and stories that take place in between episodes of the original trilogy. With this in mind, its not only a blistering flight combat experience, but also provides a fun glimpse into Luke’s growth in the overarching storyline of the franchise. Luke is just as good of a fighter pilot as he was a Jedi, and these games demonstrate that incredibly well.
