Hey wait, is that? No? Luke? Luke Skywalker? No - of course not! It's just Jimm. When Marvel started publishing the first Star Wars comics set after ANH, Lucas had told them that they couldn't use Luke or Leia in thier stories since he didn't know what he wanted to do with them yet (wait, you mean it wasn't all planned out in exact detail from the start!?!) Marvel's solution? Introduce a character who looked and acted just like Luke. Han even comments on it within the comic! This character was on my to-do list for a long time, but up until recently, the only way to get a bare armed figure was to use the original Degobah Luke, who was way too buff. When VOTC went for clearance at Target I picked up Luke and cut his sleeves off - not as easy since he doesn't have well defined sleeves, they go diagonally and actually attach close to the waistline. Once they were cut I drew on some freckles and added a hat.
