Honestly luke in the book of boba fett was very robotic. And I think that we should just look back at look from the ot trilogy

​@@paperfilmworld2520 Truce at Bakura, Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor and Courtship of Princess Leia are three amazing examples of the EU building up on Luke's new, kinder and more compassionate philosophy for the Jedi. Highly recommend them. Example, for those willing to read, from "Courtship of Princess Leia": “It’s all right,” Luke said. “She won’t hurt you anymore. She won’t hurt you anymore.” Barukka looked up at him, and her face was a mass of purpled bruises. “But what of me?” she cried. “When will my scars heal?” Luke touched her face. “Those who use the dark side of the Force to harm others often do harm to themselves,” he said softly. He ran his fingers over the bruises, and immediately the puffiness diminished. “Sit with me tonight,” Luke said, “and together we can begin your healing.” For a long time that night, Leia stretched out on a blanket. The chorus “Han Solo, / What a man! Solo,” played over and over in her mind until she had a fierce desire to take a hammer to Threepio. Had he known it would affect her this way? Had he known it would get caught in her mind and play over and over again until she thought she’d scream? To calm herself, she lay awake and listened to Luke as he taught Teneniel, Barukka, and Isolder. “The Jedi uses the Force only for knowledge and defense, never to injure or gain power.” “But with the spells of our clans,” Teneniel countered, “the words of the spells are the same whether we cast them for darkness or light. How will we know whether we are using them rightly?” “It’s not the words that give you power, it is your intent,” Luke said. “When you remain calm, when you feel at peace, when you show mercy and justice to those who make themselves your enemies, then you will know that you are using the Force correctly. But if you surrender to hate, or despair, or greed, then you give in to the dark side and it will dominate your destiny, take control of you.” “I have … friends among the Nightsisters,” Teneniel said. “As a child I played with Grania and Varr, and I considered them dear friends. Even Gethzerion gave gifts to me during Winterfest. We cast her out of our clan only seven years ago. I cannot think of them as all lost.” “Some of them you may win back from the dark side,” Luke said. “If you feel good in them still, then you must awaken them to that if you can. But don’t be fooled. The dark side can be compelling, and some turn completely from the light, become agents of evil. Remember the good that was once in them if you can, love them for it, but don’t let them sway you. The agents of evil seldom reveal themselves willingly.” “You said that those who follow the dark side can be won back. But what if you yourself become tainted?” Barukka asked quietly. “How can you free yourself?” “Then you must turn away from the dark side with your whole heart. Give up your anger, give up your greed, give up your despair.” Leia looked over at Barukka, saw that the woman’s brow was furrowed and a tear glimmered in her eye. Though Leia could not imagine what was going through the woman’s mind, she somehow felt grateful not to have Barukka’s problems. Luke reached out and touched Barukka’s chin, raised her face and said softly, “And in time, you must give up your guilt.”

@Homer it was at that moment I considered Dave Filoni not far off from Rian Johnson when it came to writing Luke

In Legends Obi-Wan has a line where says Luke is not the last of the old, but the first of the new. He wasn’t going to be beholden to the old Jedi’s dogma but forge a new path. The Sequels take that away from him because apparently you can’t have both Luke AND Rey be cool. They felt Luke had to be diminished for Rey to shine. How cool would it have been if you could have had them both standing together? One generation of hero and the next. Why not build upon instead of deconstructing?

rule no1 of being a SW fan. disney era SW = non canon

Luke’s final arc in the last Jedi was actually in line with the hero’s journey.... however he wasn’t used very well in Rise of Skywalker

There wasn't any journey in the last completey unhinged supposed trilogy, especially for any of the Skywalkers.

@@dylanmorgan2374 So TLJ Luke was fresh and subversive...by conforming to a trope. Wouldn't it have been fresh and subversive for him to break that mold?

I think Luke becoming a fallen hero who's cynical of the Jedi ways because of all the shit he's been through was an interesting idea, but it was so poorly executed. Luke just jumped from "I saw good in my father who was an evil dictator and I brought him back to the light by showing him my love for him" to "I'm going to try to murder my teenage nephew in his sleep because I just have a feeling that he's evil. No, I'm not going to try to talk to him first. That failed and created Darth Vader Jr., don't mind me I'm going to go off to die on some random island without telling anyone, even my sister and my best friend."

@@rainyrouge5123 I actually don't find it interesting because the "Fallen Hero" trope is already getting overplayed at this point. I'm growing sick and tired of the narrow-minded self pity. Please can I have a hero who uses their pain to reach out to others in a positive way and be a guiding hand? No, pain has to be shown as self-centered nowadays.

Wait...what happened after RotJ? Nothing? Oh, that's what I thought, too...

Agreed, but it continues in mandalorian. The issue with Luke is we really never got to see him fully in his prime, only stories in the EU. Mandalorian finally showcased that.

What, no happy ending with Mara Jade?

The Mandalorian: “greetings exalted ones!”

the sequels are not as awful as everyone says. tfa is a good movie , tlj has equal parts shit and genius , tros is awful. the prequels have 2 shit movies and 1 decent movie

It’s a shame that the sequels are the last time the trio will be back together and the story is so embarrassing that fans are virtually forced to compartmentalise them as expensive fan fiction.

@@George-um2vc yeah that will always sting, we'll never get the true continuation we deserve, but at least we might still get something good and fulfilling with Dave Filoni and John Favreau leading the way especially with the different dimensions and timelines being introduced

So I've heard. I'm currently reading the X Wing books. After Book 4 is done, I'm gonna start on the Jedi Academy Trilogy. I've heard so many good things about how Luke runs things and I'm really looking forward to it.

@@George-um2vc He wasn`t being a coward!The tragedy of "The Last Jedi" is with Ben he was actually trying ta deal with a Dark Sider the way his Masters taught him to for the first time but couldn`t bring himself to do it and by the time Ben woke up, Luke`s betrayal sent him all the way over the edge into the darkness!In other words, the Jedi`s paranoia about the Dark Side makes it stronger!

@@AspieMediaBobby That's the point. Luke isn't like the Jedi from the Prequels, he shouldn't be paranoid to the point of killing someone he helped raised from the cradle. It goes against everything he is, as Okiro demonstrated in this video, because Luke's journey is about learning to be a Jedi in the TRUE sense of the word. He saw his father, a merciless monster, and decided to show him kindness and a helping hand, and in the end this proved to be the right solution, one of never giving up on people, no matter how fallen they appear to be... only to, in Disney's mind, for him to throw it all in the trash and try to kill his nephew, a troubled young man. This is beyond "ironic" or "tragic", it reaches "nonsensical" and "senseless". They had a story in mind, and used Luke to accomplish it, ignoring who he was and what his character would have done, completely disrespecting Star Wars as a whole, something that didn't happen in the EU, specially when Jacen Solo (who Kylo Ren ripped off) fell.

I definitely would have

Fun fact the music I use at the beginning of my narration is from Undertale!

@@TheFirstOkiro Undertale's Music is amazing

Yeah I believe that song was his theme. But it could also be memories too. Both are similar songs

No problem! Luke Skywalker means the world to me as a character. He taught me a lot as a kid and he was And his relationship with his father helped me understand my father better

Same for me

same feelings

@@TheFirstOkiro funny: every single SW fan i spoke to despised Luke as a whiny do-gooder and preferred Han Solo or the villains to him. my brother was a prequel-baby and therefore preferred Anakin anyway, so i was the only one who liked Luke. it's also funny that i never heard anyone else say "hey we actually like Luke" right up until Disney dragged him through the dirt in TLJ, so pardon me if i don't instantly buy all this bs 'worship'

@@OneTrueVikingbard then you've been talking to people who were not true OG fans, all of us who grew up with star wars (the wovie not the whole saga, the star wars movie) luke was always the goat

well said :)

What about the bothans?

Well that was obvious in the mandalorian when he saved Grogu

And became a legend

Same.

We agree that the sequels are not canon right?

@@gregorde Agreed.

@@gregorde yes. I would never have contemplated murdering an innocent child in his sleep - one who was also my nephew, my sisters son, and my best friend’s son.

Definitely my favorite character too :), Luke is relatable in myriad of ways, we watch his 'hero journey' and so get attached all the more.

You mean making him better then the previous Jedi order instead of him making him part of the lineage of hubris and failure

@@CynicallyObnoxious he means that Luke should have learned from the mistakes of the prequel jedi and rather than following he dogmatic views of the old jedi the New Jedi Order needs to embrace the force rather than using only one side of it more like the je'dai of old. The sequels could have played with so many great concepts like it but we all know what we got.

Rian wanted to subvert expectations though, it didn’t matter what was the next logical step for Luke, what mattered was Rian getting a reaction to his movie, and now we are stuck with Luke from TLJ and expected to assume its canon, all because one weird dude wanted to fuck with the character and make people talk about his movie.

The sequels were just a bad dream.

​@@gumdeo For real

Yep Luke shares some of the traits that his father had in the prequels. Both characters were loyal to the people they cared about, fearless but also rash, reckless and impulsive. In A New Hope those traits help Luke fight the empire and destroy the death star. In Empire Strikes Back they cause problems for him and lead to him being defeated by Vader. They are also one of the reasons why he has that vision in the cave. So those traits that he shares with his father could've also turned him to the dark side like what happened to Anakin. Fortunately that doesn't happen and Luke realizes that saving his father and redeeming Vader will also save himself by preventing him from succumbing to the dark side. It seems like Luke recognizes how similar he is to his father and he understands his father well. There's another youtube channel called 'So Uncivilized' which did a great Luke video that talks about this as well.

Apparently in the Disney trilogy Luke has now been made into a more complex and deeper character 😆🤣

Old EU: Legendary Jedi Canon: A flawed human being who learns not to run away from his failures.

@@thediscomando Nice sarcasm there

nah it's just butthurt fanboys who want badass luke and not a charatcter with flaws

@@michaelphillips7623 Dang, you really do sound butthurt...

It helps that my father and one of my best friends are giant Luke Skywalker fans and I was able to go to them for lots of input for this video. I appreciate your kind words!

To be fair, even though he stumbles again, in Last Jedi, he finds this kind loyal man he returns to throughout the OT. He acts with his heart to protect his friends even when he can’t be right there for them, he still finds a way.

@@furryjackal I get what you mean, but the set up was rushed that came out of left field, and the ending battle on Krait, as Okiro talked about before in another vid, ruined TLJ and what would've been a great payoff for the sequel. And that's the major problem with TLJ aside from the horrific treatment Finn went through and every other POC actor behind the scenes. Great ideas, but sloppy execution. I attribute this to being the same like a student rushing to get their school essay done. Had some great arguments and ideas, but it was NEVER proofread and the flaws are painfully obvious, and I'm not far off since Rian NEVER screen tested TLJ.

@@HeartlessSlayer definitely well put. It has its flaws although I do enjoy it but I also agree with you on how the POC were treated being horrible.

@@furryjackal Least you get it, I have no problem with anyone who enjoys it for their own reasons as long as they acknowledge the huge problems within it. So you're good in my books. Its just for me, to see others call it a "masterpiece" is not only wrong for how harmful the film was for POC, but also just from a writing and structural standpoint its just sloppy. Even TLJ fans have a hard time defending the convenience of them finding DJ and how the film has 2 endings as if Rian was trying to make his own Return of the King. Which is another problem I can name for TLJ, it was like Rian was trying to end the trilogy on his own terms in the middle of the entire trilogy. But we can also chop that one up to Lucasfilm literally having no plans at all.

To me legends is canon

Thank you for your support!

That’s why he’s one of the greatest characters in Star Wars. If not the greatest character

lol The name is doubly appropriate. in Greek "Luke" means "the bright one," or "bringer of light."

@@hecate235 true. But it’s very interesting that Luke is the character George Lucas created as putting himself in the films and gave him the name Luke S, which is obviously Lucas when said fast enough.

I agree. The EU Luke Skywalker is a jedi who is a strong believer of redemption. He would rather spare and save them if possible. But most of all, he is the model of what a true jedi should be.

And that is what gives a Jedi strenght.

Never gonna love or accept or even remotely give the time of day to DT Luuuke

Robot Chicken is the best Star Wars trilogy since the 80s

Fun fact: I never owned my own copy of TPM until only a few years ago, so that robot chicken scene is actually what taught me about midichlorians.

Luke fans didn't want perfect and powerful Luke. They just wanted consistency in the way a character is portrayed. Fans are not stupid. If Luke had been described as a perfect, a simply god-like Jedi in the sequels, the same people definitely would have complained, too. You don't try make Luke fans look bad, please. Luke is always a boy next door with a kind heart who just loves his family and friends, not god-like existence. What makes Luke a great hero is not his power but his kindness and compassion.

@@ordovices7440 I know. I'm just making a Robot Chicken reference

He’s seen it! He thanked The First Okiro

same thought

Agree with most of this comment, but just to nitpick, because this is the internet: Maybe it was a mistake for Luke to run off to face Vader in Episode V. It certainly seemed like it at the time. But if Luke wasn't the kind of person who would run off to save his friends, even knowing that he was putting his life in danger, would he have been the kind of person who could have turned Vader at the end of Episode VI?

@@thatchrisguy188 You agree with most of my comment, but couldn’t be bothered to Like it. Thanks! Thanks for reading it though. Anyway, the end result would’ve been the same, or similar. If Yoda and Obi-Wan had their way, Luke would’ve ignored Vader’s bait. As follows, he would’ve continued his training to completion, resulting in one of the most powerful Jedi “out of the box,” so to speak. (In “”Legends”” his power continues to develop exponentially anyway.) As Yoda explained, Luke would’ve been immune to Vader being his father (by controlling his emotions), and would’ve been able to defeat the Emperor. So the end result would’ve been similar. That wasn’t Luke’s character though. He has always represented hope. Even in The Force Awakens, he still represents hope to the Resistance and Leia - before being undercut and destroyed in TLJ.

@@Adarkane325xi Have your like, then :P But yeah, I see where you're coming from. Still not sure I agree entirely though. Luke could maybe have beaten Vader and Palpatine if he'd completed his training, so same outcome there, but would he have been able to redeem Vader the way he did in Episode VI? I'm not sure. Still the same outcome for the galaxy, I guess, but maybe one fewer force ghost in the closing scene :(

Then you are in for a surprise!

Do you know what, that’ll be the first video I make when the strike is over.
