Luke Skywalker was the first Jedi Knight in centuries who wasn’t bound by ancient laws and customs. This allowed him to use the Force in unusual ways.

When Yoda passed away during the events of Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi, it left Luke Skywalker as the last Jedi Knight in the galaxy. It was said that Leia also had the potential to learn the ways of the Force, but if Luke passed away, then there would be no one around to instruct her.

The fact that Luke Skywalker was the last Jedi Knight in Star Wars meant that he wasn’t bound by the rules that governed the life of his father – Luke was free to train anyone he wanted and instill in them any values that he chose.

Luke was free to seek out romance and learn the power that was inherent in using your emotions, rather than always trying to suppress them.

The unique position that Luke Skywalker has been in throughout his post-Return of the Jedi existence meant that Luke developed abilities and powers that were different from all other Jedi Knights before him.

Luke was the star of numerous pieces of Expanded Universe media, which meant that a lot of writers were given a chance to put their stamp on the character.
