Year Released
2017: Released as a part of the massive UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) launch, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Wars.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare: While mass-produced, it is exclusive to a very expensive flagship set, making it harder for the average collector to obtain without buying the full set.
Head
Yellow skin tone; specific winking expression on one side and a determined expression on the other; Tan/Dark Tan shaggy hair piece.
Torso
White/Tan tunic print with lace-up detail at the collar and dark brown vest/waste detail; Dark Brown hands representing his gloves/wraps.
Legs
Medium Blue unprinted legs, representing his moisture farmer pants from 'A New Hope'.
Accessories
Usually included with a blue lightsaber (trans-light blue blade with chrome or light bluish gray hilt) and macrobinoculars.
Color Scheme
A palette of white, medium blue, and dark brown, accented by the yellow skin tone characteristic of early Star Wars figures (re-imagined in modern detail).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and double-sided face; no printing on the arms or legs, which is accurate to the simple film costume.
Variants
This specific variant (sw0829) is unique for having Dark Brown hands and the winking face; most Luke figures have flesh-toned or yellow hands.
Condition Notes
Check for 'torso cracks' under the arms and neck. The Dark Brown hands can occasionally suffer from 'brittle brown' syndrome, though less common in 2017 pieces.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $35 - $50 USD for a used complete figure. New/Mint condition can exceed $60 USD.
Price (New)
Included in set 75192 which retails for $849.99 (originally $799.99). It is not sold individually at retail.

Character Background
Luke Skywalker as he appeared on Tatooine in Episode IV: A New Hope, before leaving Ben Kenobi's home to join the Rebel Alliance.
Design Notes
This figure is a 'retro-modern' design, using yellow skin as a throwback to the original 1999-2003 LEGO Star Wars figures, despite being released in 2017.
Similar Minifigures
sw0021 (Classic Luke), sw0704 (Tatooine Luke with flesh tone), and other UCS-exclusive characters like sw0828 (Princess Leia).
Collectibility
High. Anything exclusive to the UCS Millennium Falcon maintains high demand due to the prestige of the set.
History
Part of the 'Yellow skin' revival for specific collector-grade Star Wars sets to honor the heritage of the LEGO brand.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure is one of the few released after 2004 to use yellow skin tones for a licensed character, a deliberate stylistic choice by the designers.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a stand alongside the UCS Millennium Falcon or in a 'History of Luke Skywalker' timeline display.
Modification Potential
The head piece is often swapped by fans to create custom 'Classic' versions of other Star Wars characters.
Overall Assessment
9/10 Quality. A standout collector's piece that perfectly balances nostalgia with modern printing precision.
Notes
It came from my $300 Lego set
