The Courtship of Princess Leia summarize in one photo:
I’m back
STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK CAME OUT 43 YEARS AGO!
I love it when pre Original Trilogy era shows how much effort went into making the Death Star. It took decades, literal decades, and it took so much money and so many people and it was such a secretive thing and it’s staffed by millions because it’s the size of a small moon.
I cannot express how much all of the added information makes it so much funnier that Luke blew it up.
Luke destroys literally everything Palpatine built. He blows up the Death Star, which was referenced in universe as early as the second movie. He blew up the weapon of mass destruction twenty years in the making. And he blew it up pretty much directly after it’s first and only successful attack. It was operational for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that Palpatine had the thing he’d been building for longer than Luke has been alive, and Luke blows it up. First day retirement, but first hour retirement.
Luke convinces Darth Vader to turn back to the light side, a feat thought literally impossible by literally everybody. Sidious clearly doesn’t see Vader’s betrayal coming. Vader’s betrayal was not in his plans, nor was it something he was prepared for. Sidious is a powerful Force user with all four limbs while Vader is a man in the tin can Palpatine put him in. If Palpatine had seen Vader turning coming, he would not have allowed it to happen.
Luke literally should not even be alive. Palpatine almost definitely got Padme out of the way on purpose, and he almost certainly was trying for her unborn child as well (there was way too big of a risk that a cute liddol bebe would bring some humanity back to Anakin, and Palpatine did not want Anakin to have any humanity) Luke living is literally the first step in Palpatine’s ultimate downfall, especially once Vader finds out that Luke is his son. His very alive son. His son that is not dead, despite Palpatine claiming Anakin killed Padme. Implying that Anakin killed Padme and she posthumously gave birth. But, she didn’t give birth on Mustafar, which was the last place Anakin interacted with her. And once the mother dies, you have to get those fuckers out fast or they die too.
I imagine Darth Vader piecing all of this together is that meme with all the math floating around his head, because how could Padme have died by his hand and then given birth like two hours later?
Luke killing Palpatine is what ultimately leads to the dissolution of the Empire as an omnipotent entity. Luke killed the Empire. Luke spends a good amount of his adult life killing Empire remnants. We see that in the Mandalorian, since he’s so recognizable that Gideon immediately knows he’s fucked just by seeing an X-wing. We read it in Legends’ continuity, where Luke terrifies Imperials because he can walk into their changing room and stand in their for a minute and they don’t even notice.
Luke destroyed Palpatine’s life’s work. Everything Palpatine spent his whole life working towards, and Luke kills all of it. He blows up not one, but two Death Stars (he may not have pulled the trigger on the second Death Star, but without him, it never would have been destroyed). He convinces not one, but multiple Sith and Dark Jedi to return from the Dark Side. He is the only reason that Obi-Wan Kenobi, the biggest pain in Palpatine’s ass ever born, lives long enough to make it to the Death Star.
Palpatine went through so much effort. And just when he had finally won, when he finally had a weapon capable of destroying entire planets with a single blast, making it impossible for any planets or peoples to go against him, Luke shows up nineteen years late to the Jedi party with space Starbucks and a droid twice his age and almost singlehandedly destroys everything Palpatine ever had a hand in creating.
Luke manages to become even worse than Obi-Wan Kenobi, the ultimate thorn in the side of politicians, and Luke doesn’t even understand any politics. He wasn’t trained in diplomacy like Obi-Wan and Leia, no, he’s a farmboy who left home for the first time in his entire life, just this morning. And he is the one to destroy the Empire.
If they rewrote Star Wars and had it entirely from Palpatine’s perspective, Luke Skywalker would be his greatest foe. Luke Skywalker would be the final boss. Luke Skywalker is the antithesis of everything Palpatine believes in and he is the one character that Palpatine cannot predict. He isn’t as moldable as Anakin, he doesn’t respond to threats very well, he’s apparently impossible to kill via Force lightning (still the funniest scene of all times, the progression of Palpatine’s face falling and him looking like “what the fuck??? Is this kid rubber??? I’ve electrocuted him eight times???”), his unwavering faith in his father’s goodness makes Darth Vader want to be a better person, Luke Skywalker is the big bad of Palpatine’s story and—
There is nothing in this world that is funnier than someone’s biggest antagonist being Luke fucking Skywalker. Luke Skywalker, who saved the galaxy with the power of love and who shouldn’t exist, by Jedi rules and by Palpatine’s own attempts, and whose best friends are literally droids, which Palpatine canonically hates!
Everything about this is hilarious, this is the funniest thing in all of media, Palpatine loses absolutely everything to some backwater farmboy who fucking likes droids.
Yeah, I’m responsible these days. It’s the price you pay for being successful.

When you see this post, reblog and say a Hail Mary- for the end of abortion.
“I would do anything for you. I would bear your burdens for you if I could. But I cannot.”
Anakin bowed his head. The panic and fear whirled inside him, and he was ashamed.
Obi-Wan bent closer to speak softly. He did not release his grip on Anakin’s shoulders. “But I will help you. I will always help you. I will not leave you.”
The words reverberated like a bell. Obi-Wan’s touch brought Anakin back to himself. He raised his head.
“Things between us have not run smoothly lately,” Obi-Wan said. “But you must never doubt my commitment to you.”
“And mine to you,” Anakin said.

feel like if Star Wars was made today they couldn’t resist making palpatine at least a little hot. someone would pick up a wrinkly pear and go “make him look like this but evil. as unfuckable as possible” and someone else would say “okay so we got a conventionally attractive actor with grey hair.” ruminating on how we have avoided the worst timeline
oh my god imagine living in a world with fuckable palpatine. i would be insufferable
Legends Palpatine had multiple children with different concubines. And then brought him back in the comics as young clones. That weren't wrinkly. Hope this makes things worse
Luke Skywalker: Dash doesn't have survival instincts. His need to win has overpowered them. Wedge Antilles: That can't possibly be true. Luke Skywalker: Watch this. Hey, Dash! Race you to the bottom of the stairs! Dash Rendar: *jumps out the window*
the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me
can you imagine being a normal dude and you’re getting help from this jedi, and this jedi dude’s like “head’s up, the next five minutes have the worst vibes imaginable” and you’re like “why?” and the jedi dude’s like “inscrutable cosmic power told me so, doesn’t get more specific than that”
like all these weird little men in weird little robes with glowy swords do is meditate because they have sorcerer-induced anxiety. yoda’s always fucking meditating on his little pillow because he has to figure out if he’s nauseous because the arcane will of all life itself is speaking through his midichlorians to warn him or if he just ate a bad burrito for lunch. the force is constantly dunking on these weird little men and telling them “something bad’s going to happen” and never explaining what’s going to happen. do you sense bad vibes because your washing machine is about to break and flood your apartment, or because the government you serve is about to turn into a dictatorship and mow your ass like grass? that’s for you to figure out
mace windu has Double Anxiety because every now and then he gets a pop-up that tells him when he is making a Significant Visual Novel Protag Choice
The Force: This Action Will Have Consequences!
Windu, downing three space ambien: great
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EWAN MCGREGOR!!!
I think the reason so many LOTR ripoffs fail is because they make their Aragorn analogue the main character, when the entire point of Aragorn is that he’s “the person the villains think is the main character, but is Not.”
Aragorn seems like a traditional King Arthur style hero— he has huge Main Character Energy because he’s supported by destiny, by bloodline, by all these magic artifacts and prophecies, and etc etc. Frodo and Sam are Just Some Guys. Aragorn recognizes that Sauron understandably thinks he’s the main hero of this story ….and he pretends to believe it too, spending the entire series using himself as a diversion to prevent Sauron from seeing Frodo and Sam.
Aragorn’s whole thing is that knows he seems like the Main Hero of this legend to people who don’t know better —- but he also knows that he isn’t, and that his role is just to keep Sauron’s eye on him in order to protect the people around him.
And it works! Sauron is so fixated on defeating his Legendary Destined Archenemy with Extreme Main Character Energy that he completely overlooks the two ordinary little guys who were the real threat to him all along.

You know how Uncle Owen is always so crabby about Obi-Wan all “stay away from Luke”, “don’t train him”, “Kenobi’s just a crazy old man Luke you keep your distance”? Obviously we can reasonably assume that this is mainly because he doesn’t want Luke getting mixed up in all the stuff that wound up getting his dad killed (er, “killed”), so he just thinks it prudent for them all to keep away from each other. Kenobi’s a wanted fugitive after all!
But like…what if most of the reason Owen is so exasperated with the whole thing is that it’s not even really that he’s THAT opposed to Obi-Wan as a person in general, but that Luke WILL NOT STOP GOING BY OBI-WAN and it’s making it a lot harder for all of them to keep a low profile because literally every time a Skywalker and a Kenobi are within 15 feet of each other, something explodes or a pirate brawl breaks out or they accidentally assassinate a Hutt or something. The few times we HAVE seen them interact on Tatooine in canon have been pretty Dramatic and involved Obi-Wan having to kick people’s asses basically every single time, for one thing.
Can you just imagine Tiny Luke, EVERY TIME he goes with Owen and Beru to the market just to pick up some damn groceries making a BEELINE for Obi-Wan, who’s trying to stay low-key, wearing his hood and attempting to maintain an aura of Quiet Mysterious Wizard? Luke just CHARGING right over to him and waving his arms and yelling HEY MISTER OLD BEN KENOBI HOW ARE YOU IT’S ME ME LUKE SKYWALKER I’M SEVEN NOW HOW ARE YOU WANNA SEE HOW HIGH I CAN JUMP??? AREN’T YOU SO IMPRESSED????? BY THE WAY I’M A PILOT YOU KNOW. Not to mention that Luke’s an untrained powerful Force-sensitive which means A) he can probably sense Obi-Wan from like 8000 miles away, so there’s no point trying to hide from him, and B) he has no control over how his emotions spill out into the environment around him, and he gets so excited stuff starts flying off of market stall shelves and glass jars explode and Obi-Wan has to be like HA HA OH YOU KNOW HOW KIDS ARE HERE LET ME PAY FOR THAT before anyone can ask how the hell Luke managed to break something he can’t even reach; what just happened here???
What if Luke just has full-blown Skywalker Syndrome from birth, and brings up Obi-Wan like 20 times a day? Owen isn’t unreasonably cranky, really. He’s just so, so tired.
