Angry Birds Star Wars
Luke appears as the main protagonist in Angry Birds Star Wars. While buying supplies for his farm on Tatooine, Luke bought R2-D2 and C-3PO from some Jawa Birds. The robots told him that his sister, Princess Leia, was kidnapped by Darth Vader, and held captive aboard the Death Star. Luke then made his way through Tatooine, defeating the hordes of Tusken Raiders attacking him. However, he was later knocked down by some Tusken Raiders. Fortunately, Obi Wan Kenobi came in and saved him. The duo then went to a cantina, where they met Han Solo and Chewbacca. The group then used the Mighty Millenium Falcon to go to outer space. There, they tracked the location of the Death Star and headed straight to it. The heroes were also aided by the Blue Squadron. Aboard the space station, the heroic group saved Leia and then destroyed the Death Star's main reactor, causing a chain reaction that destroyed the whole station.

Some time later, Luke and his allies would aid in the battle against Darth Vader on Hoth. They would later go to the asteroid field of the planet, having a battle against some Mynhogs and later escaping. The group later went to Cloud City to visit Han's friend, Lando Birdissian, only to discover that Darth Vader and his minions were after them. After a battle against Vader, Han was frozen in carbonite. Luke later had a battle against Darth Vader, who confessed him that he was his father, leaving Luke dumbfounded. Luke would still win the battle however, and would later go to Dagobah to get some training from Yoda. After this, Luke became a Jedi, and was granted the green lightsaber.

A short time later, Luke would go back to Tatooine to save Leia and Han from Jabba the Hutt. On the Moon of Endor, he and his allies also destroyed one of Darth Vader's bases, and managed to track the location of the new Death Star 2. The group managed to weaken the defenses of the station, allowing them to get aboard of it. There, Luke had a battle against Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. In the battle, Vader suddenly had a change of heart and defeated Palpatine for good, though this left him severally injured. Luke then took Vader's armor out, allowing him to see his face for the first time. However, he and his allies escaped the Death Star 2 after a chain reaction that had occurred started to destroy it. Luke and his friends then celebrated the Pork Side's permanent defeat.

In gameplay, Luke is first playable in level 1-1 of Tatooine. While initially not having any abilities, when the player gets to 1–8, Luke will be able to use his lightsaber to damage enemies. When the player launches Luke and taps anywhere onto the screen, he will swing his lightsaber 180 grades once, destroying objects and killing the enemies it touches. Luke will also be able to use this ability when he is hit, though the player will only have one second to use it. When completing all levels of Path of the Jedi, Luke will receive another ability upgrade, this time replacing his lightsaber with a green, longer one. Not only will Luke's lightsaber be much stronger, but it will also have a larger attack radius.

Angry Birds Star Wars II
In Angry Birds Star Wars II, while not making any appearance in the story, Luke appears as an extra character who can be used as a power-up in any level of the game. In gameplay, he appears as three separate characters: Pilot Luke, Endor Luke and Jedi Luke, all of them being Bird Side characters. They can be obtained by buying them at the shop, at random chance by melting carbonite, or by opening gifts.

When the player launches Pilot Luke in gameplay using the slingshot, they will be able to tap the screen once to make Luke swing his lightsaber 180 grades once, being able to destroy anything and kill any enemy it touches. Pilot Luke can also perform this attack when he is hit, though the player will only have one second to use it before they are unable to do so. In addition, getting 100000 points by using Pilot Luke will unlock a level in Reward Chapter for him.

The costs of Pilot/Endor Luke at the shop are as follows:

When launching Endor Luke by using the slingshot, the player will be able to tap onto the screen to make him swing his lightsaber 180 grades twice. He can also perform this attack when he is hit, though the player will only have one second to use it before they are unable to do so. In addition, getting 100000 points by using Endor Luke will unlock a level in Reward Chapter for him. The costs of Endor Luke at the shop are the same as those of Pilot Luke.

When launching Jedi Luke by using the slingshot, the player will be able to tap onto the screen to make him swing his lightsaber 180 grades three times. He can also perform this attack when he is hit, though the player will only have one second to use it before they are unable to do so. In addition, getting 200000 points by using Jedi Luke will unlock a level in Reward Chapter for him.
