By the way, on the subject of Luke's willpower, he is the definition of a strong-willed protagonist. His conviction to defending people without hesitation or wavering is one of his most prominent traits. Luke is parallel to Spider-Man in that during imminent life and death circumstances, he will come to a climactic sequence in which he realizes that if he fails, people across worlds, star systems, and the entire galaxy will suffer for it, and when Luke sets that in his mind, he pulls off some insane feat and saves everybody.
As Luke grew as a Jedi, he concluded that the more powerful he became, the more he had to use it to serve other people, which has brought him to situations where he had to bodily put himself between the adversary and the people he defended. He has accepted consequences for mistakes that his students have made when he is in no fault for them, done so without complaint, and then been willing to turn around and protect the people that condemned him. He has been unendingly reliant on his friends while his enemies laugh in his face about how "foolish" he is to trust in them and then ultimately proven their worth when they come to his aid. He has been in positions where alternating his methods for a more sinister act seems to be the only choice in pessimistic conditions and then decides against it. It goes on.
Honestly, Luke's will and self-responsibility are two aspects of his character that I really like about him. Those moments where he builds up his resolve to stop an all-powerful opposing force and protect innocents in hopeless situations are defining moments for him. That is just how genuine a hero he is.
