Actor Mark Hamill portrayed Luke, who first appeared in Star Wars, retroactively titled Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope (1977).

Luke was originally a farmer on Tatooine, living with his aunt and uncle.
He becomes an integral figure in the Rebel Alliance, which battles against the Galactic Empire.
Hamill reprised the role three decades later when he returned as Luke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy: The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
