when people say luke is whiny i get so annoyed… he’s on tatooine with nowhere to go. his friends have all left. uncle owen keeps making vague promises that he can go to the academy, but continually reneges – “maybe next year we can talk about it.” like if all your friends left the planet entirely and your fam stopped you from leaving and kept you isolated on a farm, you’d complain about toshi station too

especially if the farm was on a hell planet controlled by gangsters, it was constantly under danger of attack, and you got to see the results every time you passed your grandmother’s grave.

tbh it’s incredibly frustrating that people act like he’s complaining about nothing when we have copious evidence across four movies about how unrelentingly awful Tatooine is.
