A moisture farmer with a pilot's hands
He grew up on a planet that gives nothing away — two suns, no water it doesn't make you dig for, and a horizon that stays exactly where it is no matter how far you walk toward it. He fixed droids. He raced a T-16 through Beggar's Canyon and told anyone who'd listen about it.
The uncle who raised him kept him grounded on purpose, and did it out of love, and did it a season too long. By the time the sky finally came for Luke it took the farm with it.
What makes him dangerous isn't the Force. It's that he keeps choosing people over the plan, and keeps being right about it.
On Bespin that instinct cost him. He left his training half-finished because his friends were hurting, and he walked into a trap built specifically out of his own decency. He was wrong about the odds and right about the reason.
