Luke Skywalker and His Role as a Sophoclean Tragic Hero

                In JJ Abram’s and Rian Johnson’s take of the familiar Star Wars universe, we are introduced to an aging Luke Sywalker not as an infallible morally superior hero, but as a flawed and emotionally wounded man. Luke, having played a major role in the toppling of the Galactic Empire thirty years prior, has cloaked himself in a mysterious retreat, away from the new galactic conflict between the First Order and the New Republic. He is not the same Luke Skywalker the audience saw during the Galactic Civil War: steadfast, bright eyed, and unwavering in certainty. Instead, we are presented with a Luke Skywalker that is cautious, wary, and wracked with guilt. This character progression is not new to mythology. In fact, Johnson has used one of the oldest forms of storytelling, stemming from Athenian theater: the Sophoclean tragedy.

I wrote twitter meta about the one good thing about this film (Adam Driver’s acting, the PURE character work he did with zero dialogue) because I finally figured out what he was talking about when he said he was using “mask work” with Kylo Ren. He wasn’t playing through a mask only when he wore the helmet, he was acting as if his very FACE was a stoic blank mask he was looking through. That’s why Kylo Ren as a character has such a specific feeling to him, and why the audience instantly responded to Ben Solo, who could show his emotions.

This character was always 100% a young boy hiding behind a mask that hid and disallowed every emotion except for his anger, the only emotion that men are allowed to feel. This character is an exploration of how toxic masculinity harms men. And what miracles can happen for men internally when they embrace emotionality and forgive themselves and use their energy to do good. (I’m crying about him again.)

just love an unclassifiable weird intense relationship. what are they to each other well they're two of them. what are their feelings towards each other they're strong ones for sure. and of course this can only be improved when one or both of them are in happy committed romantic/sexual relationships with someone else entirely, and then there's whatever the fuck these two have going on.

Sometimes I stumble across people saying that anakin and kylo should have known better when they became adults

In reference to. The manipulation and grooming they experienced at the hands of palpatine/snoke

Which I find both interesting and also really scary. Both of these characters were in contact with their abusers since a young age, both of them grew up having positive interactions and gaining trust and slowly being isolated and being taught "oh, those people dont care about you like I do". This builds up for years and into adulthood for them

It doesnt just stop once they became adults. Those years of being given positive attention and having negative ideas be reinforced by someone they trust and look up to are still there.

Palpatine taught anakin that he couldnt trust the jedi council or his friends, that he was the only person truely trying to help anakin. Snoke told ben his family was scared of him and wanted to get rid of him out of fear.

There is no sudden realization that youve been manipulated once you become an adult, and especially when your support system is gone. Anakin and kylo are completely alone with only the person who had taught them for years that they are the only one who cares about them and will continue to hurt them further.

[benthelastskywalker]

And in Kylo's case, it was much more than simple manipulation. Palpatine had been inside Kylo's head since he was an infant. The poor boy never even had his own thoughts to himself because Palpatine was always there. The closest real life scenario I can compare it to is schizophrenia, only the voice he is hearing is real.
