* DoingInTheWizard: Downplayed in that the Force is very much real, but Luke's legend has grown far beyond what he is actually capable of, and so some of the wildest stories were much more mundane. The story about his shooting down Star Destroyers with Force lightning was just an Imperial technician hallucinating, and him leading the Church Of The Force across a lake of fire (actually molten glass) was done by jury-rigged insulated boats.
* LivingLegend: Luke Skywalker, as you'd expect. He actually makes use of it in "The Starship Graveyard", when he convinces a bunch of scavengers to follow him to safety by revealing who he is.
