I’m going to be pretty frank here. I only love SW & TESB as much as I do because I first watched them when I was a young kid who didn’t mind simplistic morality tales with white hat heroes and black hat villains. Were I able to watch these movies over again for the first time though my jaded adult eyes – without nostalgia as a crutch – I wouldn’t care for these movies half as much as I do.

But be that as it may, Luke would still remain an interesting character for me. A guy stuck in a backwater shithole, dissatisfied with his life, who wants to escape, to be someone more? That’s a guy not too dissimilar from myself. I’d want to see his journey, to see him succeed because he represents me and all people like me.
