The 7 Most Important Jedi in the Star Wars Movies

Arguably the most famous Jedi of them all, Luke is the hero of the original film trilogy. Raised by his uncle Owen and aunt Beru on the desert planet Tatooine, he grows up unaware of his Force abilities and the fact that he's the son of Darth Vader. With the help of Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, Luke discovers his true potential and becomes instrumental in taking down the Galactic Empire.

Believed to be the last known Jedi after the Galactic Civil War, Luke's efforts of rebuilding the previously destroyed Jedi Order fail when his nephew and apprentice, Ben Solo (aka Kylo Ren), kills all of his other trainees. Struck with guilt, Luke exiles himself on the planet Ach-To, and the Resistance leads a grueling search to find him for help against the dark side. By the end of The Last Jedi, Luke becomes one with The Force (RIP).
