Summary
Very clearly Luke decides that there will be no more pyres in the jungle. This may not be Endor, but he will not build a fire and watch this stranger burn out within his armor.
The war is over and he will save this man.
He reaches his living hand into the space under the man’s helmet and feels warm skin and a fluttering pulse of some sort. But there’s no way to see if he’s breathing through the thick cloth mail and armor, so Luke brings his other hand to meet the first and lifts away the helmet in a single swift movement.
The man locks dark eyes on Luke, sucks in breaths that sound like a dying animal, and just as Luke’s about to reassure him, to tell him that he’s going to help him, a gloved and armored hand snakes out and grasps his wrist.
“You've killed me,” he whispers to Luke.
(Or, an alternate first meeting. Luke is fresh from Endor and Force burned, just trying to heal. All Din knows is that his life has taken a sudden left turn. Set 4 months after ROTJ and 5 years before S1 Mandalorian.)
