In the original Star Wars trilogy, Mark Hamill did an amazing job showing how Luke Skywalker portrayed Jedi Knights to be aware of their surroundings, and how their battle strategy is more involved than randomly lightsabering everyone to death.

Hey Darth'd this may be a bit *bold* of me to suggest but us it possible to change the thumbnail? Because seeing Jake Skywalker made me think this video was about sequel Luke and I was half expecting it to be a meme since Luke lacked situational awareness in that film. I feel like OT Luke would be a better thumbnails since it better represents the contents of this video is is more likely to get OT fans of Luke to click, watch and enjoy.

This is such a supremely cool detail that I never noticed before which is ironic since a Jedi like me should always be aware of their surroundings! But that's what makes this detail so awesome, Luke is behaving exactly like a Jedi should, he is becoming aware of his surroundings which is the exact first lesson I taught him in Episode IV and one which was further reenforced by Yoda. So Luke looking around isn't just a cool detail, it has plot and character relevance since it's shows us how Jedi are required to be hyper aware of their surroundings using not just their senses but also the Force! And the little details in Return of the Jedi are great too because as a more skilled Jedi , Luke surely has more precognition with the Force hence why he it seems like he expects these things to happen, because to a degree he does. Again, this is such as subtle way to show not just the skills of a Jedi but their true power is more than just physical feats. And I even think Luke doing this highlights he vulnerability. Like Luke is not all knowing and he knows this so when he enters a room, he scans it with his eyes to learn more about it. Luke's the type of guy who's smart enough to ask questions when he doesn't know because he realizes that acknowledging his ignorance is the first step to gaining greater knowledge. And those instances of him looking around to learn are microcosms for Luke's entire character arc because his character arc was all about starting from nothing but making a contious effort to improve himself. Luke is great because he works hard to achieve progress and that's exactly what he's doing when he looks around! Seriously, this is a fantastic video, I am blown away by how you noticed these details! They give me so much more appreciation for Lucas and Hammill while making the story of Star Wars that much richer!

Remember seeing this in a previous video of yours. I really liked this information. It's kinda nice to pick out this specific point from another video and make it its own video. Its hard to watch 1 hour long videos so cutting out a neat part thats like 5-10min makes it more watchable. Keep up the good work.

I don't think we see the same mannerisms in ep4, so I'm guessing it's supposed to be part of his Jedi training and not something he'd developed before that.

He definitely lacked situational awareness when he forced a toddler to choose between beskar armor and the lightsaber. He really regressed or rather started to become Jake Skywalker.

yep, I've written off this Luke as just young Jake Skywalker. I'm gonna enjoy the Kotor Remake and new swtor expansion and just ignore Disney canon unless they erase it or retcon everything and make something good in the modern era.

@@wingsoffreedom3589 Well...on the flip side, does changing that one single attribute of Luke's character really change who he is? He can still be the same noble, loving, brave leader we've seen, while also believing that Jedi need to be emotionally cut off like they've always been. Granted it's very difficult for us to mentally retcon the version of Luke we expected, but just because we didn't get what we expected doesn't necessarily make him a bad character.

@@DarthdYT it makes him inconsistent with his established principles. In empire, he charges to save his friends. Instead of taking that experience the way Yoda and Obi-Wan would like when we see him in ROTJ he chooses to lean even further into attachment and try and ignites his father love instead of killing him, that's decision leads directly to the return of Anikan and the fulfillment of the prophecy of the chosen one. Luke is thematically designed to be what Anikan never could and his lightside reflection. While his father's attachment fueled his fear and then selfishness, Luke's never allowed his to lead him into darkness even though he almost did when fighting Vader to protect Leia. The whole point of order 66 is to show that the centuries of corruption in Jedi philosophy had caused them to stagnate. They instituted policy against attachment out of fear of falling to darkness and that very fear made them blind to their mistakes. They could not properly address the turmoil in Anikan because he had to hide his attachments out of fear and Obi-Wan never got close enough to Anikan address that fear individually. This is what Revan tried to explain not all attachment leads to the dark side but fear of attachment or the loss of it very well might. In the EU Luke, after redeeming the Skywalker name leads a new Jedi order after 3,000 years of decay into a new golden age. Anikan Destroyed the Jedi and Sith wiping the slate clean and Luke reformed them into the order we haven't seen since the days of the Jed'aii order. Luke is the living redemption of both his family and the Jedi he is the new hope for the Galaxy. Until Disney shot all that greatness in the heart and scrubbed Luke of his entire character so he can rehash the order until it was destroyed in a lazy offscreen order 66 2.0 aswell as undermine Anikan's sacrifice and prophecy by having Rey kill Palpatine. Many fans were hoping Lucasfilm would just ignore the movies but this is obviously Jake skywalker because just like TLJ Jake's persona Contradicts Luke's character and Values without going through an onscreen character transformation to justify this inferior character.
