I'm not just a farmboy

I got my happy ending. I thought I did. I mean, didn’t I do everything you asked me to? Master Yoda, you wanted to break the rule of the Sith. And they’re gone. Ben, you asked me to destroy Darth Vader. I did that, too. Father—even you, Father. You told me that together we would throw down the Emperor. And we did. Now it’s over. But it’s not the end. I guess I was still kind of hoping there might be a Happily Ever After in there somewhere. Not even for me. I was ready to die. I still am. It’s everybody else. It’s like everything we went through, it was for nothing. ... However, I do know what a Jedi would be doing—and it isn’t sitting around feeling sorry for himself, for starters.

excalibur!blue lightsaber is a concept that has not left my mind since your post 😵‍💫 do you….have any more thoughts on this in relation to luke…

The official Star Wars website actually has an article devoted to the topic, to my surprise. It actually isn't too surprising, as Lucas based much of the original Star Wars trilogy off of the work of Joseph Campbell, whose work was based off of studies of history, mythology, and lore. In the case of Luke, the lightsaber is the direct manifestation of a supernatural legacy of his alone (and later on, potentially that of Leia). It was kept in solitude by Obi-Wan, knowing that it belonged to him as the successor of Anakin, and as a future leader for an order in chaos.

I am not an expert on Arthurian lore by any means and there are so many variations over the years that is a very basic description but Excalibur is technically the name for two different swords (one from the stone and one from the lake). Both apply to Luke - Arthur faces King Pellinore too early and his weapon is destroyed mid-combat and has to find a new one; the second is Arthur on the brink of death with the sword tossed into the lake, caught by a hand, and the sheathe lost forever (Luke faces Vader too early and his weapon is gone, lost in a shaft held by his own severed hand).

Thinking about Luke!!! And heir to the empire obviously

original trilogy doodle dump but it's mostly just luke because i love that little dude

[fatalisticme]

this 3 pixel pic of luke has bewitched me. and it's ALL in the way that his belt/holster is a little loose so it sits uneven and low on his hips

Luke is so polite. The psychopathic tyrant is trying to lure him into the Dark Side and has ordered him to kill his father but Luke still calls him "Your Highness". Uncle and aunt raised him well 🎀
