I don't understand why Lucas used the name "Luke Skywalker", to me an obvious allusion to Loki in his movies "Star Wars", as Luke is a safe, everyman sort of character, who doesn't have any of the dangerousness or mischief of Loki. Loki is a Trickster figure, an Antihero. Luke is a Good o' Boy, to use Anita Blake's phrasing.
