In both movie franchises, Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker start out as ordinary humans who are thrown into a complex reality where they must fulfill their destinies.

(J.K.Rowling) Without all these similarities said, Harry faced Voldemort at a younger age whilst Luke didn’t compete with Darth Vadar until later on in
