Yes, you know Luke Skywalker isn’t going to die in issue #3. But that doesn’t mean you’ve seen every Luke Skywalker story there is to tell. Jason Aaron
‘Luke Cage’ is a gift. There’s so many different ways you can look at it. Adrian Younge
I wanted Luke Cage to very much be an African American superhero rather than a superhero that happens to be black. I felt it was important to give him that cultural grounding but also show that it doesn’t make him an obtuse or one-sided character. Cheo Hodari Coker
I grew up really religious, and my family still is, but I’m not so much. That scene in ‘Cool Hand Luke’, it just destroyed me. Joshua Ostrander
There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style of country music, like myself and Eric Church and Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert. Jason Aldean
Guys like Chuckie, Laidback Luke, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and many other Dutch DJs were all influential for me growing up. Hardwell
Luke Gallows is now entirely focused with WWE, but he built WrestleMerica, which was very much a Southern-based independent. Cody Rhodes
Look at the guys I’ve fought. Anderson Silva. Lyoto Machida. Vitor Belfort. All those guys are much quicker than Luke Rockhold and I did just fine. Chris Weidman
From the first Lauren Luke tutorial I watched, I was completely taken with her. Andrea Seigel
I am George Cockcroft. But when I come to England or Europe, where the name Luke Rhinehart is better known, then I use that name. Luke Rhinehart
My favorite character in ‘Star Wars’ is Luke Skywalker, for sure. Donovan Mitchell
Part of me always longed to do just one more film and see what Luke would be like now that he’s on the level of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the student having become the master. But it was not meant to be. Mark Hamill
Anytime you have a fellow artist say, ‘Loving the new Luke Bryan album,’ that’s awesome. Luke Bryan
‘General Hospital’ was so massive in the 80s and that’s when people my age or even younger watched that show. A generation grew up on that show, Luke and Laura, I came in on the cusp of that so there’s still a lot of ‘Frisco.’ Jack Wagner
Even to this day, when I think about the fact that I’m in this ‘Star Wars’ world, that I’m a half-brother to Darth Vader and an uncle to Luke Skywalker, it’s too hard to wrap my head around. Joel Edgerton
I love working with producers, like doing the record with Laidback Luke on ‘Turbulence’ and working with Afrojack on ‘No Beef.’ Steve Aoki
With ‘Luke Cage,’ we all, as a collective wanted to tell the truest story that we could but, at the same time, also be very true to the comic book genre. Cheo Hodari Coker
In Luke, shepherds go to find Jesus. In Matthew, an unspecified number of wise men, sometimes portrayed as kings, arrive. Nativity plays usually throw all the elements together, with kings and shepherds beating a path to the stable. Alice Roberts
I saw ‘Star Wars’ for the first time when I was four years old. Sure, I thought Princess Leia was awesome. But the character I identified with most was Luke Skywalker. I left the theater certain the Force was strong with me, that I could train to be a Jedi and wield a lightsaber just like Luke. Rae Carson
Really, the arc for the first season of ‘Luke Cage’ is ‘hero.’ How does one become a hero? What does one feel about being a hero? How does one live their life and eventually go through the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross stages of grief until the acceptance is, ‘Fine, I’m a hero.’ This is what it is. Cheo Hodari Coker
We use the word ‘synoptic’ to talk about Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and it really means ‘seeing together,’ because they all have a similar perspective. Matthew and Luke – whoever wrote those Gospels – used Mark as a focus and as a basic story. So all of them have a lot in common. Elaine Pagels
The search for inventive ways of telling the tale of Christ’s birth has been going on a long time; in a way, difference was there from the start with Luke and Matthew. Giles Foden
‘Luke Cage’ is about a reluctant superhero who lives in the shadows in Harlem. He has to decide if he’s going to step up and fight for the heart of the city and defend the people against Cornell ‘Cottonmouth’ Stokes, my character, who kinda wants to keep everything in order and intact. I’m the criminal element in the story. Mahershala Ali
Luke and Vader’s light saber duel in ‘Return of the Jedi’ gives me chills every time. Even the still photo of the two of them in silhouette, sabers crossed, gives me a rush. Paul S. Kemp
I was with Luke Shaw at Southampton. He’s a very strong boy. He’s had a horrific leg injury. You don’t come back from that without being mentally and physically strong. Adam Lallana
When it comes to electronic music, I started listening to a lot of Daft Punk, way before I knew what house music was, and then progressed into a lot of Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, and Laidback Luke. Avicii
When you take away everything else, ‘Star Wars’ is really an underdog story. Even Luke came from humble beginnings, and he ended up being one of the most powerful Jedi out there. Donovan Mitchell
I always respected Luke Cage and thought that he was interesting, and I really liked what Brian Michael Bendis did in his update of the character in ‘Alias,’ the comic. Cheo Hodari Coker
I swear to God, I don’t even know who Demi Lovato is. My son has a crush on her. Apparently, he was sat next to her when I knocked Luke Rockhold out, so Demi Lovato knows who I am, that’s for sure. Michael Bisping
I think anyone in New York City could look at Luke Cage and say, ‘Hey, this guy could help me out.’ I don’t want him to just seem like a relevant hero for only black people. Mike Colter
Luke James has this mystique about him that’s not something you can explain; you can only experience it. He’s got a whole D’Angelo feel to him as well. Estelle
Myself, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows are best friends. We travel together, we train together, we eat together, and we do a lot of things together. Finn Balor
There’s only one Luke James, and I make damn sure that you know that. Luke James
I don’t think Luke Cage as a superhero is something that has changed dramatically from the ’70s to now. He’s a black man going through the same thing as other people of colour – it’s just that he has superpowers. Mike Colter
Well, when I wasn’t playing with a football I used to play with ‘Star Wars’ figures as a kid. Hanging out with Chewbacca and Luke Skywalker is how I passed the time when I wasn’t kicking a ball around. Jamie Carragher
‘The Wire’ is, by far, my favorite television show of all time. And I’ve always said that my aspirations for ‘Luke Cage’ was that it would be ‘The Wire’ of the Marvel television universe. Cheo Hodari Coker
I won’t say that the papers misquote me, but I sometimes wonder where Christianity would be today if some of those reporters had been Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Barry Goldwater
It took a while before I could sit across the table with Mark and not, every three seconds, think, ‘I’m talking to Luke Skywalker.’ Rian Johnson
I don’t care if it’s Dr. Dre or Dr. Luke or Brian Eno. When you’re in a studio and making music together, it becomes pretty apparent if you see eye to eye. Mark Foster
For me, I was never really obsessed with Luke Cage. My obsession was Wolverine. Cheo Hodari Coker
There was a point – when I was a kid – where I said I wanted to be like Luke Skywalker, with blond hair and blue eyes. My mom right there told me to never be ashamed of who I am. Chaske Spencer
I’m excited about ‘Luke Cage’ with Michael Colter, who plays Luke Cage. I play the villain, Cottonmouth. It takes place in Harlem. It’ll just be amazing for people to get to see an African-American superhero, which there weren’t any when I was growing up. Mahershala Ali
I have my hopes high. I don’t know how I’ll top the Luke Combs tour, but I guess we’ll see. Morgan Wallen
Every single day I wrote a song, I was hoping somebody like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean or whoever would record the song. It’s tough to do because there are so many great songwriters in Nashville, and I was lucky enough to get some songs recorded before I got my record deal. Cole Swindell
I will always get a certain thrill of watching bullets bounce off Luke Cage. Cheo Hodari Coker
I wasn’t trying to fit into a thing… it was not like I was like, ‘Right, I’m the Han; I’m the Leia; I’m the Luke.’ I was just like, ‘Okay, I’m Rey, just trying to do me, just trying to do this scene, trying to do the right thing,’ and I think that was a huge advantage because I think if not, it would’ve been a very different thing. Daisy Ridley
I think in work like ‘Passion According to St Luke,’ which I wrote when the Church was being persecuted by the Communist regime, it mattered to me to declare for the cause. I sided with the militant Church and I think my music fulfilled an important socio-political function. Krzysztof Penderecki
I’m so much like Luke Skywalker I guess I always will be. Mark Hamill
When I was younger, I had two players: Luke Shaw and Gareth Bale. When Shaw was at Southampton, he was a left-back, and I loved watching him bomb up and down the wing, create goals, score goals, so I think I try to emulate that. Gareth Bale – same thing, really. Ryan Sessegnon
I loved Luke Skywalker and I loved Darth Vader and I loved watching them work it out. David Fincher
Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Derek Luke and Leonardo DiCaprio inspired me the most. The rawness balanced with charisma that they all bring to the screen is awe inspiring. Ser’Darius Blain
Every Luke Skywalker needs his Darth Vader. Paul Di Filippo
I like to be busy, especially after I lost against Luke Rockhold. The best way to recover is to get another fight. Lyoto Machida
I can be a traditionalist but also play with Luke Bryan and get the crowd to go crazy. I think that mix is a lot of what has kept me going and kept people fired up about the music. Jon Pardi
Luke Walton was the worst coach ever for Lonzo ’cause he had a losing mentality. LaVar Ball
As to whether Luke is the ‘Last Jedi,’ they say in ‘The Force Awakens’ he’s going to find the last Jedi temple and Luke is the last Jedi. Rian Johnson
First and foremost, Luke Perry was my very first celebrity crush ever in life. I still cannot believe that we’re friends. Ashleigh Murray
When I work with artists, I give them a general guideline of what my vision is. Then they’re going to speak their minds on how they view it, too. The song that defines ‘Neon Future’ the best is the title track. I wrote that with Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun. It’s through his words. We had an amazing songwriting session together, connecting. Steve Aoki
What makes Luke Cage unique isn’t him being black. Yes, he is black, but he has other things. Mike Colter
I started getting interested in the craft and watching old movies, and they’re the ones that reach out to me the most – films like ‘Cool Hand Luke’ and ‘On the Waterfront.’ So I start watching all of these, and I was getting educated, and I started being interested in this acting thing, if that’s what they call it. Barry Keoghan
For ‘Dynamite,’ Max and Luke went to dinner and left me with a melody, and then I put it together. Bonnie McKee
I remember as a kid watching that movie – ‘Cool Hand Luke’ – with my grandfather. Joey Chestnut
Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen. Dirk Nowitzki
I didn’t sit around thinking, ‘I’d love to play Luke Cage,’ but when the character was presented, I did my research, and I was just like, ‘This is a real gift. He’s a great character, and I’m happy to have a chance to take a crack at him.’ Mike Colter
As Luke 24 shows, it’s possible to read the Bible, study the Bible, and memorize large portions of the Bible, while missing the whole point of the Bible. Tullian Tchividjian
I was onstage singing with Luke Bryan, and he started singing a song that we hadn’t rehearsed. Both Luke and myself just winged it. Brett Eldredge
I see Santa Claus and Joseph Smith and Luke Skywalker as the same person. Trey Parker
Our Luke Cage is a black hero, not a hero who happens to be black. Cheo Hodari Coker
In 2004, we had a great year, with Samit Patel, Liam Plunkett, Tim Bresnan, Luke Wright, Alistair Cook. Some groups are not quite as strong. Andy Pick
‘The Movie’ is something that I made with some friends of mine in L.A. My friend, Luke Eberl, is the filmmaker. He shot this movie and asked a bunch of his friends to be involved with it. I just saw him the other day and there is no money to finish the film. But, you know, I literally have a cameo in it. Olivia Thirlby
For ‘Luke Cage,’ of course, I was familiar with Power Man and Iron Fist. I read the comics. That was really more stuff that you read for fun. It wasn’t that you read either of those comics for profound moments, although they have profound moments. Cheo Hodari Coker
The first album is the prelude to the full story of Luke James. It establishes me as an artist you can look forward to. Luke James
You gotta be ready in this game. Like when Michael Bisping knocked out Luke Rockhold. I thought… everybody thought that Luke Rockhold would go out there and just smoke him and then Luke Rockhold got clipped. Stephen Thompson
‘Moonlight’ is a project that resonated with me more than anything else. I wouldn’t have done ‘Luke Cage’ if they hadn’t made time for ‘Moonlight.’ Mahershala Ali
I just did this movie with Kristin Wiig called ‘The Skeleton Twins.’ That’s a straight drama. We play estranged twins, and I end up moving in with her and her husband, played by Luke Wilson. But it’s a drama, and the Duplass Brothers produced it and this great guy, Craig Johnson, directed it. And that was great, you know? Bill Hader
Left ear, I wear four earrings. The four is symbolic of the four seasons, spring, winter, summer and fall, the four directions, north, east, south and west, the four gospel writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Mr. T
I wanted Season 2 of Luke Cage to be Ice Cube’s ‘Death Certificate,’ or Fugees’ ‘The Score,’ or Public Enemy’s ‘It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back,’ or my favorite, ‘The Low End Theory’ by A Tribe Called Quest. Cheo Hodari Coker
Right after my fight against Luke Rockhold, I had surgery on my left hand. I just took out some fragments from back then. Too many training, and I had some fragments in my hand. Lyoto Machida
The whole Christmas story was probably a later addition to the gospel narratives, presented only by the authors of Matthew and Luke. Mark and John seem never to have heard of the manger in Bethlehem, the Massacre of the Innocents, the hovering star, the three wise men, and so forth. Jay Parini
I pretty much spend most of my time in the gym bulking up and staying fit and putting muscle on so I can play the part of Luke Cage, but I’ve never been a gym rat. Mike Colter
Me and Luke are fraternity brothers. Luke Bryan was already in Nashville when I got to college. He had come back to his old fraternity house, which was my new fraternity house. We met there and just kinda stayed in touch. Cole Swindell
My private joke about ‘Luke Cage’ is that it’s a bulletproof version of ‘Lemonade,’ and that, essentially, it’s a concept album that has a video component. Cheo Hodari Coker
The Luke Cage you saw in Season One was a reluctant hero. He was trying to figure out if he wanted to be a hero in the first place. And then fate intervened and forced him to step up his game. Cheo Hodari Coker
Not being white has never prevented me from enjoying Luke Skywalker or Han Solo. These are heroes of mine. Mike Colter
I would watch even five minutes of ‘Gilmore Girls’ a day when I was going through a tough time because I was like, ‘I just need to return to where life is simple, and you can get your waffles at Luke’s, and everybody knows your name.’ Jessica St. Clair
I’ve had some messages from some famous people which have been so unreal that they know who I am. I had support from Paloma Faith, Luke Evans, Stevie van Zandt, Jojo Siwa and Sharon Stone. It was amazing that so many big names had been talking about me. Courtney Hadwin
‘Teenage Dream’ was the most difficult song I’ve ever been a part of. We wrote five different versions of it. We couldn’t get the lyrics right. Max Martin and Dr. Luke wrote most of the melody, and then Katy Perry and I were responsible for getting the lyrics right. Bonnie McKee
Luke Cage isn’t going to throw a pity party for himself. He literally says to himself, ‘This is the world I’m in. These are the circumstances I have.’ He’s a self-made man. He’s trying to continuously build, and that’s what’s interesting about him. He’s a work in progress. Mike Colter
Honestly, what ‘Luke Cage’ is – it’s a hip-hop Western. And you have Luke Cage as the sheriff of Harlem. Cheo Hodari Coker
I just felt that Danny Rand within the Luke Cage universe… I just felt that he was going to be dope. Cheo Hodari Coker
I think he’s much funnier in many ways than some of the things that I’ve done. Because it’s a little bit more layered. He’s constantly trying to teach Luke what he thinks are really deep philosophical ideas, but they’re really simple. Seann William Scott
As a kid, growing up, as far as I was concerned, I was Luke Skywalker. Any sort of small victory or any adversity I would come up against at school, I was like, ‘How would Luke Skywalker deal with this?’ Everybody was the Empire; anybody who bullied me at school was the Empire. Jacob Anderson
I’m a big fan of Lance Archer, Jeff Cobb, Luke Harper. Jim Ross
I think the fact that ‘Black Lightning,’ ‘Luke Cage’ and ‘Black Panther’ have each made noise in their own way will only lead to different superheroes and different genres. Cheo Hodari Coker
The thing about Luke Cage that makes him different is – on the surface is he’s a hero for hire; Luke Cage wants to get paid. Luke Cage in the comic books is like, ‘I’m doing this stuff. It’s all well and good, but I gotta make a dollar.’ Cheo Hodari Coker
Marjorie Luke was funny and huge, or at least I remember her that way. Brad Hall
What I like about my character: Luke Cage is a person first and foremost. We do have other black superheroes, but he’s important because he’s touchable. Luke has moments when he has to try to forget his pain, but then, unlike the rest of us, he’s also able to channel that frustration into fighting bad guys. Real martyrs aren’t trying to be martyrs. Mike Colter
I was a huge fan of comics: not necessarily ‘Luke Cage.’ I was more of an ‘X-Men’ head. I was always more Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, John Byrne. Cheo Hodari Coker
I have a black lab named Luke. Bryan Clay
The films that have influenced me most are: ‘The Hustler’, ‘Badlands’, ‘Hud’, ‘Tender Mercies’, ‘Cool Hand Luke’, ‘A Perfect World’, and ‘Laurence of Arabia’. I also really like ‘Fletch’. I feel like all of these films reached an honest place in regard to the human condition while also stringing together really entertaining stories. Jeff Nichols
