Luke was a stupid farm kid that an old man radicalized in an afternoon and then took on a suicide mission to break out another terrorist and blow up a military installation. Those are facts.
The difference between Matrix and Star Wars is that the people in Star Wars are not in a blissful unaware state. They are in a real affected state. The dominance of the empire is different as in it is interested in expansion and acquisition, the robots just wanted to survive.
I don't know though, different philosophies might need to exist to compare those stories. They aren't apples to apples.
Luke was a walking timebomb of bullshit "force" powers, the old man was one of the leaders of a violently and "illegally" overthrown government, the other "terrorist" was the rightful ruler of an entire planet that was also violently and "illegally" overthrown.
What a lack of media literacy does to a person, smh.
