re-watching the original trilogy is great because you really get a sense for how weird luke skywalker is, just how quickly he becomes that weird AND how quickly he commits to it. Like he's honestly pretty chill in a new hope, but the absolute INSTANT he figures out he can move shit with his mind he goes full send on the cryptic off-putting bullshit. Walking around in full black robes, speaking in riddles, aura farming and backflipping whenever physically possible. He's clearly annoyed when he first meets yoda in empire, but he dismisses that pretty quickly in favour of ALSO becoming an over-dramatic space wizard. The combination of his two teachers being yoda and obi-wan kenobi and him being the son of anakin and padme creates the single most intense and fundamentally kind force sensitive perfectly embodying the heart of the jedi order whilst also serving egregious amounts of cunt and being bizarre to be around. He would have THRIVED as a jedi master during the high republic. he would have been every padawan's favourite and every other master's worst nightmare

The downfall of Armitage Hux as a character needs to be studied. How tf do you go from literal Space Hitler to easily ragebaited ginger fag to the rebel spy all along?
it’s actually still so funny to me that when obi wan kenobi was on tatooine he wore basic everyday clothes / attempted to be incognito but the second he’s released back into the galaxy that hates jedi (& spends time money and resources on hunting them) on a super secret mission, he’s like “I fear I was forced to wear this extremely identifiable robe and keep my trademark hairstyle. there was no choice in the matter.”

i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.
I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and it’s finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.
#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40’s adventure serials#but disney are making a ‘star wars film’ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)

Reylo in 2026!?!?!?
I was inspired by the bodice ripper covers and I saw a video by Lindsey Young on YouTube about Reylo and it brought it all back. I’m still salty about how ep 9 went but I will forever love the Reylo of my heart
the humiliating ordeal of being a star wars fan
luke wouldn't have changed his mind about saving his father from the dark side even if he heard what anakin did in the jedi temple during order66, because he literally knows about it. that's the first thing obi-wan tells him about darth vader, is it not? that darth vader helped the empire hunt down and destroy the jedi order
darth vader tortured leia and stood by while alderaan was destroyed, he shot luke's friends over the death star, he used han, leia, and chewie as bait for luke to try to kidnap him, he cut off luke's hand, ect. luke spent several years fighting for the rebellion, so he's heard all the horror stories about darth vader, about all the people he killed or who the empire caused incredible pain to
luke is not an idiot and he is not ignorant. he knows about all the bad things his father did, and he wants to help him anyway. because he can feel him in the force and knows that there is good left in anakin, because he feels the desperation and fear with which his father tries to reach him in the force, because luke understands who vader is to the emperor and why he unquestioningly follows all his orders — luke's mentors told him that his hero's journey wouldn't be complete until he slew the dragon, but luke saw that the dragon was a pathetic, broken, chained man with goodness still alive in him, so he decided to save the dragon instead
the light and dark sides of the force exist in-universe as real concepts with their own rules, but they're also just allegories for the vague concepts of good and evil in your beliefs, words and actions. remember that star wars doesn't tell a story about good people and evil people, it tells a story about people who can choose good or evil. if you think about it, both the jedi and the sith didn't believe in the possibility of returning from the dark side, essentially denying the very concept of redemption, and both were proven wrong
anakin is the perfect character to be redeemed in this specific story because once he was a genuinely good person, who started out on the path of evil for reasons that would be understandable to any human being in this world (fear of loss/change), and stayed there because of the very false belief that the jedi and sith convinced him in, and which this story criticizes ('it's too late for me, son') — luke skywalker knows all of his father's sins, but loves and believes in him despite them, and the narrative rewards him for it
the reason why the narrative rewards luke skywalker for his faith in his father is because george lucas is trying to convey to the audience the idea that it is never too late to choose good, that redemption is unconditional and available to anyone at any time, that redemption is rewarding — darth vader fits this story perfectly because he is so 'twisted and evil', not in spite of it. at no point does this story turn away from the evil darth vader committed, but it says that he still can change for the better, and so he does
it's such a clear simple story that it still amazes me how people can fail to understand it
vader every time he came across 3po and r2 during the war probably
Luke Skywalker IS underrated for what you would expect of a protagonist of three movies, several comics, several novels and and if you count the sequels, he's also important secondary character for other two movies.
Luke's popularity these few last years comes specifically from DinLuke and Grogu. With the general audiences, Han was more liked.
In TCW, when they tried to reshape Anakin's personality they went with Han.
And decades after, Luke is still mostly seen as "weak whiny twink baby who needs rescuing". As if his first big win didn't involve blowing up an evil space station with billions of people.
And all of this is mostly misogyny of course, because Luke (and Anakin) are seen as very unmanly very emotional protagonists and therefore they're annoying, whiny, weak little bitches. Cause what, they feel love?
