Welcome to the Best Mods for Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, the latest in my series of “best mods in SWGoH” articles, as we cover the Galactic Legend characters in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Today’s hero, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, was a shell of his character from the original trilogy by the time Disney’s poor choices got a hold of him, and while he saved the Resistance with his Force Projection, fans were left disappointed in how he was so poorly used and portrayed in The Last Jedi. That having been said, in Galaxy of Heroes JMLS is a Galactic Legend and quite powerful, as we look at the best mods for this character. Over the years I have written literally hundreds of mod guides, including almost all of the original best mods guides over at Gaming-fans.com. Now that my days with Gaming Fans are behind me, I am working to keep the same kind of content going as I resume the “best mods” series today covering one of the most well-know Star Wars characters of all-time with the Best Mods for Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
My thoughts on JMLS in the movies is above, I will not dwell on this. So as we look at the use of Jedi Master Luke in-game, he was part of the second batch of Galactic Legends introduced in SWGoH and is a Light Side Tank, Galactic Legend, Leader and Jedi. Let’s take a look at how to mod Jedi Master Luke Skywalker to make him more effective in Galaxy of Heroes.
Note that I have been told that I can get a bit long-winded when writing these mod guides. As a result, if you simply want the TL;DR on how to mod Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, it is below.

Main Mod Stats to focus on…
My Jedi Master Luke Skywalker gets used in almost every part of the game today, in the RoTE Territory Battle, alongside his younger version JKLS in Light Side battles in almost every phase, as well as the GAC, Territory Wars, Galactic Challenges, Conquest and more. His Legend of the Jedi leadership includes an Inherited Teachings granted ability that deals true damage based on 60% of Jedi Master Luke Skywalker’s base Max Protection which cannot be evaded. He can inflict a variety of debuffs which impact the battle tremendously so adding Potency is wise, and given his role as a tank, added health and defense are never a bad idea. Because he starts with a base speed of 376, I have used a speed set on JMLS since unlocking him years ago to maximize his turns as my JMLS is over 540 speed. If he takes the first turn and applies Ability Block immediately it can change a battle, and Jedi allies get +40 speed from his leadership to help, making speed very important. While he is a tank, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker can hit pretty hard, so added offense/CC/CD is not bad, but I would not go and choose these over a very fast mod with high protection. Worth noting, Jedi allies also gain 30% offense from the leader ability of JMLS, making Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker and Jedi Knight Cal Kestis even more hard-hitting.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations
The developers at EA Capital Games have a posted recommendation of Health mods for Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, but the Top 1000 players in the Kyber division of the GAC all agree with me – a Speed set and a Health set are the way to go with JMLS. The primary focuses are pretty straightforward – Protection when possible – leaving only the arrow up for discussion which I review below. With all of this in mind, here is what I am recommending for the best mods for Jedi Master Luke Skywalker:
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Jedi Master Kenobi, you want to use a SPEED mod here and be sure to closely look at the secondary stats to ensure that you get a heavy secondary focus on speed, protection, potency and health or defense.
- Receiver (Arrow) – The Receiver mod can have a primary focus on several stats including speed, critical avoidance, accuracy, health, protection, defense and offense. For Jedi Master Kenobi, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a primary focus on speed or protection. If you go with a speed focus, you will want protection, potency and health or defense from the secondary stats. If you go with a protection focus, you want speed, potency, health and defense from the secondary stats.
- Processor (Diamond) – The Processor is always going to have a primary focus on defense. For Jedi Master Kenobi, you want to use a SPEED mod here with a secondary focus on speed, protection, potency and health or defense.
- Holo-Array (Triangle) – The Holo-Array is a very specialized mod that can have a primary focus on critical chance, critical damage, health, protection, offense and defense. For Jedi Master Kenobi, you want to use a SPEED mod here with a primary focus on Protection and a secondary focus on speed, protection, potency and health or defense.
- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, so use a SPEED mod with a focus on Protection because JMLS benefits greatly from a high Protection stat. The secondary focus stats should be speed, protection, potency and health or defense.
- Multiplexer (Plus) – The Multiplexer (plus or cross) mod can have a primary focus on potency, tenacity, health, protection, defense offense. For Jedi Master Kenobi, you want to use a HEALTH mod here with a Protection focus, making sure to have your mod sets complete. For the secondary stats, look to add speed, protection, potency and health or defense.
