SON OF SKYWALKER

I just answered that, so let me tell you my second favorite:

This swagmaster that had no right to look this cool for it to only be around for one short ending (and then was underutilized for so many years, until it became his default outfit throughout the 2010s). It even looks cool without the jacket! But the yellow really suits him.

Regarding quotes:

Say what you will about this movie but I actually gasped and cried at the delivery of this line. I don't know if it was Carrie Fisher quite recently passing or the tenderness of finally seeing Luke and Leia reunited.. but I still think of the heartwarming chills it sent me.

If you want a half joke/half serious answer, here is another:

It is actually better now than it once was. I think Luke was the poster child for weenies everywhere back in the playground of the 2000s, at least among the boys, especially as Anakin rose in popularity following Revenge of the Sith. Not to make comparisons, because I love them both, it just matched general trends at the time. He's dorky and complains all the time, he's only good in one movie, he should just suck it up, etc. Felt inescapable, to me.

I think also that in some spaces, not so much Tumblr or any fandom-oriented space, an image of Luke from Legends content (an inaccurate one, imho, that is misunderstood from what those books and comics are actually about) and fans associated with it has turned some off.

Part of the initial reason I made this blog was because I wanted to see more Luke content in general on the internet, got a job, and could finally make stuff of my own. I will always do what I can to spread the propaganda of our Rebel Jedi and Savior, Luke Skywalker!

So, I feel like this is somewhat obvious for those who have followed me for awhile.. but Luke in his rebel fatigues in Empire will always be my favorite. Especially on the visual front. I feel like it is a very sleek and snug outfit, both utilitarian and stylish, that seems quite complimentary to his appearance in the first film: the flowing white tunic is bulkier and slimmer (toned down a bit, closer to a beige), the waist and legs visible and uncovered. It is more mature and confident, somewhere between lithe and strong. I think that his hair is also at its absolute peak in this movie, slightly less dated than the other two. In general, I think that everyone looks their best in Empire.

But speaking of strength, it also allows us to see Luke at his most vulnerable. The way that this outfit is ripped to shreds is actually magnificent to me, like, yes, it is flapping in the wind and dangling by individual threads but it looks so good and really captures Luke's resilience and the naïveté in his overconfidence. So, there is a fun little contrast in representation here: we see Luke at his most traditionally "masculine" and also at his smallest and most sensitive. It has always been a dream of mine to have this outfit for a cosplay or Halloween.

I actually adore that.. was it, like, formative as a kid and became your comfort vibe or something that you just happened upon one time and got stuck with you? Either way is totally valid. I’ve only been on a plane four times in my life, and this recent trip was the first time on my own, so watching Star Wars on it has helped calmed me during takeoff/landing, which makes me nervous af, lol.
