Being one of the most integral characters in the whole Star Wars franchise, and the original hero of the movies, Luke has obviously gotten several iterations in the Black Series line by Hasbro. Even so, there are still quite a few more versions of the character that have to be made; the Dagobah training version of Luke recently won a poll to be produced for the 40th anniversary set of Empire Strikes Back figures, but there's still a few more versions to be done and in this list I'll go through all of them.

Honorable mention: Dagobah cave test Vader/Luke
I could see this one being an exclusive at a store somewhere. Essentially the version of Luke that manifested in the cave on Dagobah as Vader, only to have Luke's face revealed behind the mask after being defeated. Just take the existing Darth Vader, and give him a new head sculpt depicting Luke's head beneath a slashed helmet.

Endor
I don't know if this one would be a completely new figure or not. I believe this is just the Jedi Master uniform that got a figure years ago but with a poncho and a helmet. It would still accomplish another look for him, and also provide a way for newer collectors to get a figure of Jedi Master Luke without the Archive line needing to rerelease it.

Snowspeeder gear
This is an outfit that I didn't even really realize was different from the X-wing fighter outfit. But it is, it is a more bulky outfit with a larger collar, and the release of this figure can also be reused later on with a Dack headsculpt to maximize profit off this uniform. Or maybe we could get a full Snowspeeder with this figure packed in?

Jabba's palace uniform
This one comes from one of the best parts of the third movie. I love the look of Jedi wearing robes so between this outfit and the one that Luke wears later in the film, this one is my favorite. It also comes from one of the best parts of the third movie, the Jabba's palace sequence, in which there are several other characters who deserve figures as well. My Jabba needs someone other than Leia to threaten him.

Celebration
This is the last outfit of Luke's from the fourth movie that hasn't been made into a figure. It was a simple but functional look to the character, with a bright splash of color that would pop against a lot oft he other darker colors on the shelf. It has also gotten a lot of use in the Marvel Comics, and who knows, maybe getting this figure will put us on the way to getting a Celebration Leia as well.

Exile
This is getting into the Last Jedi territory of Luke's, and while we got him in the white robes he wears for all of two seconds, we never got figures for the two main looks he takes on during the film. This is the one that is most prominent that he uses for most of the scenes from the movie, so it is a must have for the sequel trilogy shelf.

Crait Force projection
This is in my opinion the best scene in the whole movie. It depicts Luke as the very powerful Force user that the galaxy had envisioned him as. Despite not being there in the flesh, Luke still made a great show on Crait, allowing the others to escape by buying time, with a projection that needs to be done in the 6 inch scale.
