Star Wars: Darth Vader #48 claims Luke Skywalker is really more like his mother, Padmé Amidala, than his father, Darth Vader. Sabe, a handmaiden Padmé's double during her tenure as Queen Amidala, reveals this. If Luke thought he possessed his father's hatred, Sabe intended to kill him; but, she finally decided he inherited more of her mother's qualities.
Although the comic does not specifically note the particular traits Luke shares with Padmé, Sabe's observation suggests Luke possesses compassion, empathy, and a strong moral compass. These qualities are all evident in Padmé's character throughout the prequel trilogy. By contrast, traits Luke finally rejects—anger, hatred, and a thirst for power—are what define Darth Vader's path.
The comic looks at Luke's relationship with Darth Vader from Sabe's point of view. Having known Padmé close-by, Sabe is suited to evaluate Luke's nature. Her observation that Luke exhibits more of her mother's qualities emphasizes the significance of genes and the effect of parental influence on the growth of personality.
Luke is still Anakin Skywalker's son, thus even if he may have more of Padmé's demeanor, Some of Luke's father's skills, including his natural aptitude for piloting and his Force sensitivity, he inherited were But Luke's path highlights the need of choice and the capacity to go past inherited impulses. He decided to welcome the light side of the Force, so rejecting the gloom engulfing his father.
This disclosure gives the intricate relationship between Luke and his parents still another level of complexity. It underlines that Luke's character is not only a mirror image of either Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader. Even if he inherited some features from both of his parents, he is a different person molded by his own experiences and decisions.
This insight questions the conventional binary of good against bad that frequently rules Star Wars stories. It implies that one can find atonement and welcome the light even from dark birth. It also gives Luke's path more complexity by stressing how much his parents shape his character growth.
