His dad mogs him completely as both Anakin and Darth Vader. People even latched onto Han and Boba Fett over the actual main character. The first EU story starred Han with Luke and Leia showing up for only the first fucking page.
>>198621322I’m Trans btw
>>198621322mfw Carrie is a Jedi
Boyscout heroes aren't cool, and Luke doesn't have a hook that'll enable people to overlook that fact.
It's because Luke hasn't actually done anything cool on screen since 1983 and anything he did that was cool back then has since been replaced by the theatrics of the prequel era of Star Wars. Luke is a relic that never got a chance to catch up for whatever reason (fuck you, Lucas).And no, the Disney cameos aren't cool.
>>198621322>The first EU story starred Han
>>198622014>fuck you, LucasHow is it his fault? The prequels could only have him in it as a baby for obvious reasons. And he never got the chance to do his ST where he successfully rebuild the Jedi Order.
He's a blank slate self insert for young boys. His name is even Luke(as)
>>198622110Pic related's the first. Marvel's Star Wars #7. The previous six issues were an adaptation of the original movie. Dark Empire came out years later.
>>198621322He is cool. But Anakin and young Kenobi are cooler
>>198622162Just like you fag(got)
>>198622132I meant that for Lucas actually doing something with Luke and the gang instead of letting all that development go strictly to the EU.Also I'm sure he had plenty of chances, he's the one that sold in the first place and had wasted his time and money with TCW and Red Tails.
I started appreciating the OT trio a lot more after the sequels shat on them. I cried when Luke showed up in Mando. But I think a big reason emotions were that strong was because TLJ robbed us of proper Luke so it felt like a cathartic victory to get back the character as he should've been
i always liked luke. his journey is great
>>198621322Mark Hamill wasn't lead material, he didn't have the proper screen presence. Ford made him look good in the audition. The three of them (Ford, Hamill, Fisher) had good chemistry, so they went with them.
>>198622257>I meant that for Lucas actually doing something with Luke and the gang instead of letting all that development go strictly to the EU.He didn't want to make any Star Wars movie after RotJ. Dude wanted to take a break and chill for a while.
>>198622335Who said it had to be a movie?
>>198621322He is just some farmboy who becomes a great hero. It's a classic story.Used to be a more common fantasy trope before everything became anime.
>>198622257Dude barely scored in the EU. He only married the hot redhead when they were both almost 40. The romance wasn't even built up at all. They got paired together after having a shared Force trip, with Luke asking her to marry him immediately after.
>>198622365Did you want a show?
>>198622331Seems like he should've been the sidekick instead.
>>198621322He mogged his father by never falling to the Dark Side and redeeming him.Also, not to be an EUtranny, but Luke was insanely OP after the movies. He just kept getting stronger with the Force and basically surpassed anyone who had ever come before including his dad. He is by far the most powerful Force user to have ever existed in the galaxy in the old canon. I wish I had a compilation of his EU feats but basically he would insta-win anytime he entered the battlefield.
>>198622177Here's the only page Luke and Leia appear.
>>198622577>He mogged his father by never falling to the Dark Side and redeeming him.And yet, it's actually his dad who defeats the Emperor and saves the day. https://youtu.be/t24ui76xtrw?si=nX3NTDU7ZqmXYWiG
>>198622577the sad thing is TWA sort of played up to that, to find luke that could turn any tide
>>198622748>TWA?
>>198622773the force awakens
>>198622577It's not about power, dude. It's about character, aesthetics and presence. Han's still cooler than Luke even though he can't use the Force. Same with Boba Fett. Superman's very powerful but people still favor Batman over him.
>>198621391based
>>198621322He's not lame anymore.
>>198621322Luke saved his father from his own sins which is much more impactful than anything in the prequels which were poorly written movies. Zllenials and younger like the prequels more because there were more CGI action scenes and much more expanded universe video games and cartoons to latch onto and view the story telling in the originals to be boring and outdated. Star Wars is only good with its mythical foundation and Luke saving his father from evil, defeating the empire, resisting the Emperors temptations, and restoring the Jedi is much more impactful.
>>198621322Couldn’t stand him. Vader is the real hero and the Empire was always cooler than the rebels.
>>198624090>which were poorly written moviesThey weren't. The stories and characters are fine. They just needed more time in the editing room.
>>198622464kino as fuck, why can't I get a wife like this?
>>198622533Mark Hamill thought the same. Before getting the script, he thought it was going to be the Han Solo movie, and got really surprised when the industry veteran Indiana Jones didn't get picked, and he became the lead instead.
>>198621322he's not brown, he's not a faggot, he doesn't worship niggers, he's an affront to your mental illness and mutilation of your genitals and must be destroyed and mocked
>>198624121Dialogue was poor, there were bizarre choices made for world building, and it was filled with eye roll inducing fan service. Lucas lost his edge and was surrounded by yes men too afraid to offer even constructive criticism. If you find a good fan edit then they become passable movies for Star Wars fans, but thats it compared to the originals which were objectively well made action adventure movies.
>>198624153Indiana Jones came out after Star Wars and Harrison Ford was basically an unknown who had a small part in American Graffiti.
>>198622177Splinter of the Minds Eye was published March 1978, this comic was published 2 months prior in January. The book took longer than 2 months to write and was the first EU story approved by Lucas. This Han Solo story was HATED by George and caused him to directly control what was officially published. Luke & Leia were featured in so many stories over the 107 issue run, so I'm not sure what the bug up your butt is that Han was featured first, other than the fact that you don't understand comics.
>>198624107Could've done more with Rogue Squadron and make them Top Gun in space.
>>198622591WHOA one page! They appeared throughout the entire 107 issue run, and you are a disingenuous faggot. After the first six issues, they take an issue off, that's literally how comic books work you insufferable faggot.
>>198624216>but thats it compared to the originals which were objectively well made action adventure movies.Unless you're a Gen Xer, they haven't aged all that well. ANH in particular aged like crap.
>>198624153>>198624240He's right that Hamill thought it was a Han Solo movie, but wrong about Indiana Jones which shows he knows jack shit and is just pulling out half-remembered facts to act like he knows anything.
>>198624254>so I'm not sure what the bug up your butt is that Han was featured first, other than the fact that you don't understand comics.The point is that even Marvel though that Luke/Mark wasn't a leading man, so they focused on Han instead.
>>198624374>HURRRR>MARVEL AGREES WITH MEEEEEEE!!After spending 6 issues focused on Luke it's standard comic book practice to focus on other characters (durrrrrr da Joker isn't leading villain because he's not in every Batman comic!!! - YOUR logic). Luke literally led much of the series, and you're cherry picking a single comic out of 107 (and 3 annuals) to try to lie. You are a stupid faggot. Picking Han for the next story doesn't mean Marvel felt the same way about Luke that you do, you fucking retarded child.
>>198624502Jesus Christ, dude. Relax. It's not that serious.
>>198624502>After spending 6 issues focused on LukeBecause those were an adaption of ANH where he's the MC.
>>198624536He's right you stupid faggot
>>198624317When people say this they mean the special effects, and more specifically the "remastered' versions they have seen which have about the same level of CGI slop effects and the prequels. The prequels have aged worse due to their overuse of CGI and scenes which are clearly two people in a giant green screen set. The originals still have a better story, better wriging, and are more soulful do to being filmed on actual sets.
When reading any story with Luke in it, I just imagine he looks like Hayden Christensen. Certain stories already make the claim that he looks just like his dad.
He's the average guy protagonist that the audience can self-insert with, lots of stories with colorful supporting characters tend to have a more ordinary protagonist to "ground" the audience
>>198624536Fuck off faggot. You stupid children NEED to have your shit pushed back in. You make retarded claims, use lies to attempt to bolster your bullshit claims, and you're just straight up retarded. You're right, this argument isn't itself serious, but so many of you zoomer fucks needed to have your ass kicked on the playground, told when you're acting like a retard, and should all have been forced to participate in Debate Club to learn how to actually argue like an adult.>>198624569So? What's your fucking point? After 6 issues, issue 7 focuses on a different character in normal comic fashion. It's Star Wars, not Luke's solo (heh) title like Batman (who changes villains every few issues). If you're not a retarded faggot and you're able to look at the big picture, Marvel made a comic and wanted to get paid for that comic, doesn't fucking matter what the movie or anyone else was doing. They needed sales, shithead. And literally nobody complained until you broccoli haired faggots came along.
>>198624586>are more soulful do to being filmed on actual sets.The prequels did have actual sets and miniatures.
>>198624732But that shit sucks. I don't want to follow some fucking nerd.
>>198624872Only the phantom menace really, go rewatch 2 and 3 they look god awful.
>>198624950>go rewatch 2 and 3They had sets and miniatures too.
>>198624968They'd build the miniatures, and use the footage of the actors in blue screen to superimpose them onto said miniatures. That way everything looks real. Some of the lava and eruptions in Mustafar were from footage of an actual erupting volcano.
>>198622257Luke would have successfully restored the Jedi Order in Lucas' ST. Disney decided not to use his story treatments.
>>198621322Luke and Qui-Gon are the only principled jedi. Obi, Yoda and the council are liars and hypocrites, Anakin is a sperg traitor. Dooku almost made it but got played like a bitch.
>>198621322>mogsOpinion irrelevant.
>>198625304Rewatching the originals, Obi wants Luke to just straight up kill Vader and when Luke says he wont and wants to try to convince him to leave the dark side, he says something like "well then the empire has won"
>>198625368Obi-Wan legit lied to Luke and claimed Vader killed his dad to motivate him to kill his own father. It's fucked.
>>198625304>Luke and Qui-Gon are the only principled jediLuke wishes he was like Qui-Gon. Hamill's got nothing on Liam Neeson.
>>198624789Older zoomers are in their 20s, dude. If you're older than that, then you throwing an autistic bitch-fit makes you look even more pathetic.
>>198625304>Anakin is a sperg traitorDude's too tall and handsome to be a sperg. That and he was planning on leaving the Order after the war to be with his family. Shit only went south after he got those visions of Padme's death.
>>198627145Anakin had 9 years of being a regular person until he got into the Order. Everyone else got in as babies, and had the Jedi shit drilled into their heads from the start. Anakin had his mom and his friends. Forcing him to go no attachments was never gonna work.
