    I met Mark years ago at an airport, of all places, with my parents when I was a little kid. I told him how my name is actually Luke, and he looked up at my parents and said, "Because of me, right?" My dad replies, "It's my fault I took her to see Star Wars on our first date."

      ​@@danielfietkau733Perhaps he just dont want to be another Luke of internet, there are a lot of them here at youtube and I dont like to think this but, have Luke and Anakin as names or is very good or is very bad.
      For example, there are a lot of Star Wars memes on facebook and in one of them I read a guy named Anakin, he was using his name at social media without problem. But it was kinda sad to read in his comment that he was bullied in his school for that name. But I got your point buddy, this Luke needs to be very proud. Luke met the original Luke, hes like one of the choosen :)
