Luke Skywalker was primarily mentored by two key Jedi Masters in his journey to becoming a Jedi Knight:
- Obi-Wan Kenobi was Luke's first mentor. Obi-Wan introduced Luke to the ways of the Force, taught him patience, discipline, and the fundamentals of being a Jedi, including lightsaber training. Obi-Wan watched over Luke on Tatooine and began his training before his death, after which he continued to guide Luke as a Force ghost
- Yoda was Luke's second mentor. Luke trained with Yoda on Dagobah, where Yoda provided more rigorous training emphasizing self-awareness, perseverance, and the dangers of fear and anger. Yoda's famous teaching, "Do or do not, there is no try," encapsulated the commitment Luke needed to succeed as a Jedi
Beyond these two, other mentors have been introduced in expanded Star Wars canon:
- Auntie Feez helped Luke understand the Sith better by guiding him into the metaphysical realm of a red kyber crystal, providing insight into the Sith mind and their potential redemption
- Doctor Aphra has been revealed as a secret mentor during the events of the original trilogy in the comics, adding to Luke’s training beyond what was shown in the films
- Luke also learned from the example and legacy of his father, Anakin Skywalker , whose fall to the dark side served as a cautionary tale, shaping Luke's understanding of the Force and his own choices
