I’m not sorry
this is my favorite Star Wars post
But what if…. Luke goes “I appreciate that you’re trying to take my mind off things by coming up with ridiculous stuff to try and get a laugh out of me, but it’s Not Working.”
Obi-wan: “but it’s true!”
Luke: “Uh huh. What’s next, telling me that I’m the hologram lady’s long-lost twin?”
Obi-wan: “Yes!”
And from this point onward Luke thinks that this is Obi-wan’s attempt at a long-running gag. Obi-wan grows increasingly desperate to convince Luke that he’s telling the truth, darnit. Luke thinks he’s growing increasingly desperate to be funny.
Darth Vader mcfreakin loses it when Luke’s first words upon seeing him are a sarcastic “Oh hi, dad” with enough sass to choke Jabba the Hut.
Vader: “how did you know.”
Luke turns to Obi-wan and splutters.
Luke: “How?? How did you get Darth Vader to play along with your stupid joke????”
I love it
Oh my gosh
I really love this post
okay but vader didn’t know either. he thought his kid was dead. he’d probably put it together faster if obi-wan’s new apprentice called him ‘dad’ and turned out to be named Luke Skywalker, but this would be HOW HE FOUND OUT.
Vader has to sit down for a minute lest he has a fucking heart attack, but his suit would make that unnecessarily difficult so he just stands there having a silent system meltdown.
Luke is utterly confused while Obi-Wan tries desperately not to have a laughing fit. He is way past his prime, but this was unintentionally the best trolling he’s ever done.
Vader realizes that FUCK, this is absolutely something a son of his would say isn’t it.
Luke is only just now registering the implications and starts screaming at Obi-Wan, who is still laughing, he DID try to tell him, after all.
Vader snaps out of it and regains his composure.
Luke, still screaming: “So, that part about my sister was true too!?!?”
Vader: “….”
Vader: “YOUR WHAT!?”
Palpatine: hey Vader where are you you’re supposed to be on the Death Star
Vader: sorry I’m on paternity leave
Palpatine: you’re on what now
Vader: do you KNOW how much child support I owe right now?? i don’t have time to conquer the galaxy and rule at your side as your iron fist. i need to get a job that pays
