Luke Skywalker
In order to restore balance to the Force, Luke Skywalker must confront and defeat Darth Vader. Young Skywalker travels across the galaxy to face Vader and uses his attunement with the Force to convert his X-wing Fighter to a combat mecha. Luke battles the Empire's starfighters and ruthless bounty hunters as he embarks on his quest to confront his destiny. [1] He also has a transforming Snowspeeder.
It is almost certain that Luke Skywalker using one of his transforming vehicles would be an extremely powerful opponent for typical Cybertronians, since he's known to have held his own fighting the Unicron Trilogy's Megatron... on foot! Intriguingly, the only other "star warrior" known to have done so is Darth Vader, a.k.a. Anakin Skywalker, no doubt a relation. Perhaps someday we will get to see this powerful family in action in a story.

Star Wars Transformers
- Luke Skywalker X-wing Fighter (2006)
- Accessories: 4 missiles, lightsaber, Luke Skywalker figure
- Luke Skywalker's mech can transform from an X-Wing starfighter into a robot crafted in his likeness. The placement of the cockpit in robot mode gives it a see-through chest in which the small pilot figure can sit. Due to the transformation scheme, the arms have a good deal of articulation, including rotating wrists. The shoulders, however, can only rotate backward, making some poses difficult (lightsaber duels are out of the question). The legs are attached to a ball joint and the hips may be raised or lowered. The X-Wing has pressure-launch missile launchers located on the end of each wing, and a lightsaber that can clip onto the robot's belt or be held in its hands.
- Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder (2007)
- Accessories: 2 missiles, 2 missile launchers, lightsaber, Luke Skywalker figure
- Mostly a shell-former, this figure only uses the cockpit of the vehicle in robot mode, storing the rest in a giant backpack. It's lightsaber is repainted from the X-wing toy. The two vehicle blasters can be removed and wielded as cannons. The vehicle mode was not designed with storage of the lightsaber in mind, though three opening panels in the underside reveal enough empty space underneath in which to slide the weapon.
In all stock photography of the toy his legs are not extended and backpack not quite folded away properly -- he's supposed to be taller! Luke's shoulder articulation is also weirdly restricted, preventing his arms from sitting flush and only rotating backwards, not forwards. So good luck posing him with those massive guns of his.
In vehicle mode both his large guns have firing missiles and his smaller gun is articulated, able to turn 360 degrees.
Crossovers
