Luke Skywalker appears only as a passing reference in the course materials, mentioned in French's discussion of the "Monomyth Effect" as an example of narrative patterns circulating in digital discourse. His presence in the readings seems incidental rather than central to the seminar's engagement with AI, cybernetics, and their aesthetic or social implications.
