Luke Skywalker may be the original hero of Star Wars, but there are many things wrong with his character that have been ignored over time. Every fictional character has flaws to overcome, and Luke's journey from farm boy to Jedi is one of the most compelling stories in cinema. However, this has led to many viewers hold Luke on a pedestal and overlook other character flaws.
Some of these issues date back to Luke's adventures in the original trilogy, while others were created by the new stream of Star Wars movies and TV shows. The Star Wars books and comics have tried to explain these issues, but most audiences won't know that, and a story should always stand on its own. 10 aspects of Luke's character tend to be ignored the most despite the problems they create for the Star Wars movies.
10 Obi-Wan Hides Luke In The First Place The Empire Should Look Obi-Wan Kenobi And Luke Skywalker On Tatooine Close Obi-Wan Kenobi hid Luke with his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru on Tatooine, but this hiding place should have been apparent. Anakin Skywalker knew about his stepbrother, so all it would take was one visit to the family homestead to discover he had a long-lost son. Leia was much better hidden than Luke, as Darth Vader would have no reason to search the royal palace on Alderaan, plus the Organas didn't let Leia keep the Skywalker surname. The Star Wars books and comics attempted to explain this by saying Anakin would never return to where his mother died, but it was still an enormous gamble.
