Thought it would be funnier if we added Leia

…
why did they fuck luke over? They put Leia in a hereditary monarch position, and him in some desert in the middle of fucking nowhere to farm moisture?

Wasn’t it implied (also in the obi wan series) that they needed to separate them literally as much as possible? So not just planetary, but also by the very walk of life, and by all reason, they shouldn’t have ever crossed paths, even accidentally. If they were both paupers on different planets and physically passed by each other, they might talk, but by separating them by class, even if they walked by each other, one is literal royalty and the boundary would be immense.
So that they eventually crossed paths by fate, shows the power and will of the force to bring good people together or some bullshit.

That’s a helpful and necessary addition. The mythology does not serve itself.

By the destruction of the Death Star alone, Luke has a higher body count than Anakin did at 22, saved the Rebellion, and became a decorated war hero. And Luke did that within, like a week?
Meanwhile Anakin had been building up to that point for years, and was only a General because all Jedi were Generals. Other than becoming a Jedi, it’s not like he did anything specifically to earn that position.

Anakin was also playing the game with cheats on. Palp was arranging a lot of softball missions for him. Can’t have the chosen one get randomly killed by a droid.

Did we watch the same TV show as kids?? I wouldn’t call the invasion of Geonosis a ‘softball mission’.

Yeah it turns out cozying up to evil powerful people can advance your personal position more than fighting against them, who knew?
Say what you will about Luke and accidental incest, but he’s not in the files, I’ll tell you that.

Also sibling incest is a lot less often end up in abuse than parent-child incest. Every other argument against incest could be applied to a lot of other kinds of relationships, including the birth defects one.

you’re ziltoid the omniscient and you can’t see that your statement might be a bit problematic… as in it might cause you problems?
maybe you need coffee that isn’t fetid.

At no point in his life did Luke get any. Ever. Hell, Yoda probably slung his leg over more often. But permavirgin Luke? Nope.

“Future father” at age 22 is a strange achievement.

Wasn’t a jedi knight on the council either.
What a failure.

Somehow Leia also just knew Luke would be one of those “chill” brothers who lets you kiss them on the lips for a few seconds to make your boyfriend/crush jealous.

Those two definitely banged once or twice after they figured out they were siblings.

“They” meaning Luke and Leia? Or “They” meaning the writers?
itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 13 hours ago
Luke was a Commander in the Rebel Alliance by then so not all that terrible. He definitely had more war crimes than Anakin.
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 1 day ago
“The Strongest Jedi” definitely isn’t right. At best, he’s evenly matched with Obi-Wan. If you apply stupid “power scaling” rules, then sure, Obi-Wan got ganked by Dooku during their fight while Anakin handily beat him. But at the same time that Dooku pushes Obi-Wan, he easily kicks and downs Anakin who’s behind him; Obi-Wan was just the one he subdued by crushing him, ostensibly seeing him as the greater threat.
We’ve seen Anakin lose to Obi-Wan at the (inherent) height of his combat prowess, and it was his own fault. Windu and Yoda probably also take Anakin one-on-one. (Windu, of course, was totally defenseless when Anakin severed his arm.)
If we’re talking about things like the Force, Yoda is clearly much more powerful. There’s an argument Anakin was the most powerful pilot, but that combined with being very Force-sensitive and a very good duelist doesn’t make him “the most powerful” overall. Most potential? If he could keep his emotions under control, probably.
BremboTheFourth@piefed.ca 1 day ago
Yeah, there are plenty of Jedi who can beat Anakin, but I think if you normalize for experience, he was easily the strongest of any of his peers. He should have seen being allowed to sit in on the council at his age as an enormous honor. But of course, he’s the egotist supreme, and he had unwise words being whispered in his ear.
Also, in the fight with Dooku, it seems likely to me that Palpatine somehow invisibly sabotaged him once Obi-Wan was down. Palps wanted that to end with both Dooku AND Obi-Wan dead.
Tap for spoiler
I mean the truth is the movies are just poorly written and wildly inconsistent, but whatever lol

Power can only account for arrogance so much. I interpret it as Anakin was the most powerful Jedi, but his arrogance and lack of self control often times got in the way of it. So to me, Obiwan didn’t win because he was stronger, but because he was in control.

The coffin of Andy and Leyley, a game that I haven’t played but people say it’s about incest or something. The meme uses the same poses and art style for Luke and Leia

There is something to be said about how recognizable it is, that is commendable in itself. Too bad about the reason why 😬.

Turns out being exiled to suck grains of sand for individual molecules of moisture isn’t as good for the resume as being inducted as a child into the fasttrack program for magic West Point.
