luke always heard the other guys on tatooine talking about how hot such and such a girl is, and he always agrees with them. but he prefers watching other men’s rippling shoulders in summer while they unload water containers from the truck to sell at the market

and he feels awkward when the other guys hug him, like he shouldn’t be touching them at all, but he also never wants to let go

so then along comes han, from “sexually liberated” corellia, who doesn’t think of anything as that big a deal, and it’s incredible being able to say whatever he wants and have it be met by at most a laconic raise of an eyebrow

the first time he and han kiss, he lets han take the lead, decide what they’re doing. han knows luke doesn’t know shit, but god does he do his best to teach the kid

So everyone was raving about how Luke was only in TFA for like 20 seconds and said nothing but can we actually talk about this.

He is missing, no one knows where he is, only Han sort of knows why, but there are no details. I was almost as desperate as Leia was to find him. Because he’s our Luke Skywalker, the original hero, and he’s not just our hero, but theirs. Rey literally thought he was a myth, no one knows anything about him, apart from us. I don’t know about you but I felt strangely close to him because of this.

And then everything goes up in flames and I am sat there in the cinema like “Luke please just come and save us.” I felt almost angry, but then R2 wakes up and they have the map and Rey goes to him, and then I understood.

The look on his face. I had prayed he would come and save everyone, but look at his face because he couldn’t. Luke Skywalker, who always has to save everybody. Who faced Darth Vader and the Empire to save a girl he’d seen in a hologram he didn’t even know. Who fearlessly saw the best in Vader when no one else would.

He looks so utterly defeated, like life has beaten him down and he’s been unable to do anything about it. That pure grief on his face as he looks at Rey holding his father’s lightsaber, his first lightsaber, made me feel so incredibly guilty. Because heroes hurt too. Like Han said, “Luke blamed himself.” ‘And whilst heroes are busy saving everyone, who saves them?

Mark Hamill’s acting in this scene moved me to tears. It is some of the best I have ever seen.

He didn’t need to say a word.

I aint saying the Sith are good guys, they do bad shit as well, but let’s look at history on the other side of things.

> Paint Sith as villains when the were originally just a splinter faction with a differing belief system.

> Lead a court ordered genocide against a Sith planet that posed no threat after having been defeated in a war. 

> Fun fact, the Sith were only on that planet becuase the jedi had killed all but 12, stripped them of everything and put them on ships into random deep space

> Essentially the Jedi made the Sith what they are today through stupid decision making

> Abandoned their peace loving code (which was forged because of legislation disbanding their military forces, bringing about a thousand year era of peace) to become commanders and generals in the Clone Wars.

> Lead a violent coup against a leader who was actually elected once it came put that he was from a group they a personal vendetta against, because this is what peace loving space monks do guys.

> Literally train to feel no remorse or pity as opposed to the Sith who are expected to embrace the full spectrum of emotion.

Just in case some of you are interested…

Jedi Code:

There is no emotion, there is peace.

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.

There is no passion, there is serenity.

There is no chaos, there is harmony.

There is no death, there is the Force.

Sith Code:

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

And a third one also exists which is made by the gray Jedi. (The ones who’ve “gone rouge” but aren’t Sith)

There is no Dark Side, nor a Light Side

There is Only the Force

I will do what I must to keep the balance

The balance is what keeps me together

There is no good without evil, but evil must not be allowed to flourish

There is passion, Yet peace

Serenity, Yet emotion

Chaos, Yet order

I am the wielder of the flame, the protector of balance

I am the holder of the torch, lighting the way

I am the keeper of the flame, soldier of balance

I am a guardian of balance

I am a Gray Jedi

Not to mention the continuous mind-fucking of anyone they need to trick. Jedi legitimately are A-okay with manipulating the free will of others to achieve their means.
