Why Luke's Outfit Gets Darker as the Original Trilogy Progresses
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Throughout the original trilogy we see a gradual shift in Luke Skywalker's outfit. From his white and beige desert tunic in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, to the sleek black combat suit he wears in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. We take a deep look at the meaning of his outfit's change in color and how its connected to the mythology George Lucas created for Star Wars.

I have followed and regularily watched this channel for a long time now, and something have slowly happened, that I would never have imagined a few years ago: Generation Tech have become my favorite channel for positive social and political commentary, while maintaining the core of being a channel by and for Star Wars nerds.
So to Allan and the rest of the team behind the channel: You are Legends
I knew someone had to be thinking just like me. Thank you for speaking the right words gentleman.
I was about to comment something similar. Allan is one of the wisest dudes on the internet. There are the fewest things I disagree with him about life. And specifically from this video, as a ashiest, I need to accept that most people just can't deal with the uncertainty of life. I'm a man grounded in science, and most importantly knowledge, And I want to learn as much about the world around me as I can
I completely agree and I appreciate how Generation Tech is accomplishing this unexpected but very meaningful task.
mrboomboomguy be ashiestisn'... nice.
Very much agreed. I'm impressed with how they deliver poignant social commentary without being explicitly political .
From a farmboy to Rebel to Jedi.
I read that as femboy lmaooooo

The bull$hit canon: to a depressed hermit
Legends: to a demigod
Luke's extreme Force potential may have been handed down to him from his father, and his idealism handed down from his mother, but it was his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru and his simple but wholesome upbringing under them that ultimately made him the optimistic and well adjusted man he became, allowing him to make the most of his natural gifts from his parents without those gifts leading him in the wrong direction.
For example when Anakin lost his mother, his immediate reaction was vengeful wanton slaughter. Whilst it was a traumatic experience for sure, Anakin allowed this trauma to breed more trauma, he never really got past it, and it directly influenced his actions concerning Padme, leading to his ultimate fall, and the heartbreaking reality of him taking a path Shmi never would've wanted for her son, and would've been heartbroken seeing him become a monster. In a sense, Anakin's reaction to his mother's death meant that Anakin himself truly killed her, by destroying everything she taught him and wanted for him. Anakin's extremely unhealthy inability to cope with loss and destructive behavior when faced with it is most definitely the result of his harsh, cruel, and uncertain childhood as a slave. His mother, the one and only source of warmth, comfort, and love in his short and brutal life, along with the ever present danger one of them could be sold off without the other. This harsh reality he was born into caused him to desperately cling to anyone he loved, and utterly refuse to lose them. Then when faced with the reality of their loss because life doesn't accommodate man's defiant hubris, not even for the Chosen One, he is unable to deal with it in a healthy way, sewing more tragedy.
Luke on the other hand, even though he grew up on the same planet, had a vastly different upbringing from that of his father. He had a healthy, stable environment with two guardians who loved him very much and made sure he was provided for. Even if it wasn't luxurious it was STABLE. Luke got three meals a day, Anakin and his mother got whatever their master (Watto, who could definitely be a vindictive bastard, was a "easier" master by their standards) decided to provide that day, or whatever they could hopefully manage to scavenge, if anything. Luke had a home and a bed to sleep in every night, Anakin could be sold off or gambled away to a new master at any given moment, possibly an even worse one, and possibly without his mother. Luke had to do chores around the farm lest he face the ornery wrath of Uncle Owen. Anakin and Shmi could often expect to be worked to the absolute brink lest they face torture, physical/emotional abuse, any number of threats, etc.
Anyway, when we see Luke face a situation similar to Anakin losing his mother; Luke losing his aunt and uncle, naturally he's devastated and in shock but unlike his dad he accepts it and moves on. He also dedicates his role in this new life to helping topple the evil regime responsible and his motivation isn't revenge, rather attempting to return a sense of just rule to the Galaxy.
Very well said!
I agree with everything you said. It sometimes depends on how a individual is raised and how they deal with the loss of love ones.
Well said, alot of people call Anakin a crybaby but just as you said he grew up in slavery so he had a hard time to come over loss and loved his close ones alot and clinged desperately on to them
I think the black also implies that he could be no corrupted. Honestly, the black worked so well in being ambiguous. Did it mean he was becoming like Vader. For that once scene it helped paint that picture. It showed that he was serious as you said, but at the end it also showed that frankly he couldn't be corrupted. You can stain white, you can stain it far easier than any other color, but black always had a sort of resistence to being stained. Throw a little dirt on something white and shows up, but you might not even notice the dirt if it was black.
An interesting detail is when Luke and Vader have their last moment, his shirt is undone and white is reviled under it. Indicating that despite how tempted he was, he did not fall to the dark side.
@@cane6074 Good eye there.
@@cane6074 yes..... I like that detail, thank you for pointing that out. The flap on his outfit comes undone when Luke proclaims himself a Jedi and Palpatine attacks him with force lightning revealing the white underneath.
Along with that his robot hand has a black glove to show that hes becoming more like hours father. Love this channel but i don't think the black was chosen because luke was serious. Maybe story wise he did but there was a ton of behind the scenes going on to make the viewer feel like up until he tosses his lightsaber away luke 100% might have turned to the dark side
I have seen The Empire Strikes Back probably a dozen times and never noticed that the yellow ladder Luke uses to climb into his X-wing on Dagobaw just kind of disappeared.
Although not shown onscreen, the ladder gets retracted into the X-Wing. This attribute of the X-Wing is detailed in "Star Wars" ship design books and videos.
@@skyden24195 Thank you. That was going to bother me. I know it probably wouldn't be practical to have a mechanized ladder on the set piece but I am glad there is an explanation. My mind is a little bit more at ease with the world.
It's basically showing the growth of Luke. From the pure white he wears in ANH, to the Grey (training in the force) in ESB, and then to Black (experienced and powerful).
Black; slimming, sexy, & goes with anything.
When I first saw it in 1983, I thought it was just a new costume to make Luke look hip. I never thought that it meant Luke going to the Dark Side. Recently I read that he wore black to be like Vader's black suit. I like this suit. I also liked Luke's Bespin Fatigues and the Medal Ceremony outfit.
All the hiP kiDs be Sithin'... c'mon now, bruh.
@@ChA0s_AgeNt 😆 No doubt. His new threads are bussin. They're 🔥
Considering the strong influence that Japanese martial arts had on the aesthetics of Star Wars, it may also have been relevant to the designers that the color of Luke's costumes match the traditional belt color (and associated experience level and temperment) used in Judo and Karate to signify rank.
Luke begins as an eager but barely trained novice (white belt) in ANH, is a physically capable but overconfident (brown belt) student in ESB, and is a physically adept practitioner who is on the early stages of a lifelong path of inner work and continual refinement in ROTJ (new black belt).
Even Luke's first donning of the orange pilot's uniform and yellow ceremonial jacket fall within this sequence (though some schools differ in whether orange precedes yellow or vice versa).
The legendary origins of the belt system also emphasize the "staining" of the pristine individual until proficiency or mastery obtained, so this is not inconsistent with previously stated hypotheses.
P.S. The white inner flap on Luke's ROTJ outfit reflects that, despite his outer appearance, at core he would never fall to the dark side, but it is also reminiscent of the black belts of experienced practitioners that fray with use becoming increasingly "white" over time, symbolically forever returning to being a "beginner".
Black goes with everything.
Except DANDRUFF.
What about orange?😄
@@hackman669 red or yellow or white.
Luke’s story is my favorite. Episode 6 was so fitting for him and the expanded universe did him justice. I really wish we were able to see some of those stories produced in modern Star Wars .
Instead of what happened
2:37; it could represent the person that played the greatest part in the training of the Padawan. For Luke, that is Vader. Think about it, Luke learned most of his lightsaber combat techniques from studying his own father.
I still want to see how the original idea of Luke turning to the dark side and becoming Vader would've turned out lol
Star Wars needs a dark universe to explain these plot twists. Just like Kiera on DS9. Role reversals possibilities could be very exciting. 😃
@@hackman669 that would be cool, maybe a "what if?" Type of anthology series. Then, if fans really like an episode, it can be made into a series. It'd be a smart way to test some different stuff out.
Respect, Allen. I liked how you tackled a sensitive subject with thoughtfulness and eloquence. You guys write terrific content and I think it's underappreciated. Ride safe, brother 👊🏼
It changes because it foreshadows his future
When i was a child….. i had seen Star Wars (the original movie) several times in theaters….it was OFTEN a children’s Matinee at the base theater. But i only saw Empire strikes back ONCE at a civilian theater when it came out…. So when Return of the Jedi was about to be released, everything about A New Hope (as we should now call it) was very deeply grained in my memory, while ESB was very dim …. So in that final battle…. I had forgotten that Luke had a cyborg arm already…. So for some reason i became convinced that slicing Vader’s arm off, made it appear in place of Luke’s real arm…. Snd that striking Anikin Skywalker down in anger, would cause LUKE Skywalker to become lord Vader
He discovered Metal
Coleman Trebor out here catching strays. Again.
Your statement of religion or beliefs not hurting or repressing others is spot on. There are too many brow beating organizations out there. Be who you are do not force people to believe your point of view!
Jedi clothing is based on samurai clothing. Luke's clothes look like they were based on the traditional Japanese boys high school uniform.
Exactly! Though I like him best in black. He could do anything. No rules, no Jedi Order to limit him. 😄
Great personal interpretation, but the official book on the making of ROTJ explicitly states that Luke’s costume was supposed to represent him potentially going into the dark side. They even have a whole sub chapter dedicated to Mark Hamill and George Lucas discussing it in detail.
The story of humanity: selflessness vs selfishness
Tiny T-Rex hands are the true struggle that the fandom often forgets, that and a towering two brained cranium.
Great Video, Also I remember from a print article many, many years ago was with the color schemes of his outfits, which were inspired by the ranking systems in traditional MA = (SW) White - White Belt - you are starting your MA journey and are innocent to the realities and harshness of the world and training. (ESB) Brown - Brown Belt - You have endured the pain and realities of training, but your ego may be more arrogant of your abilities than reality since you are not fully trained. (ROTJ) Black - Black Belt - You have endured your physical training, you are powerful and your skills are dangerous, this is where you must begin to cultivate your mind/spirit as not to allow your ego to become a bully (Dark Side) ---- End of ROJ - the white on the upper front of his black jacket represents the stripes on a black belt where you begin to cultivate your mind/spirit to bring back some of the peace/innocence married with your physical skills.
One of things I found interesting about return of the Jedi, is that when we first see Luke in person, he's wearing a dark cloak and Force chokes the guards. Plus the way he interacts with Jabba, he comes off quite menacing on how he conducts himself. With all that together, Luke comes vaguely off like a Sith. Didn't noticed that as a kid. Despite how composed and resolute in his actions and intent. Luke is going through deep emotional turmoil and is very conflicted and tempted towards the dark side. That's one of the things I love about Star Wars is how much Luke changes as a person, from naive farm boy, to battle-hardened but overconfident Commander, to a warrior monk.
I actually remember watching ROTJ in the theaters. I was 5 years old and barely comprehended what I was watching, but I still have the memory.
I have to say, I’ve been watching your vids for years now, this one’s message was by far the most beautiful thing you have said, in my opinion. Well done!
Oh, thus is why I love your content. You really make people think k with out judgment and I think your a net positive for humanity. Love your content
Luke trained Gogurt? WOW LOL
He didn't really train so much as helped him remember what he already knew.
@@dred9174: I’m clowning on the fact that he said Gogurt and not Grogu. LOL 😂
One of the things that strikes me after all these years is... just how prophetic the lyrics of Weird Al's Yoda ended up being.
German here, that's the first time I hear a foreigner that knows about our unreasonable, mostly jokingly, obsession with the Hoff, I was quite surprised 😅
Don't Hassel the Hoff :D
Everyone knows about it especially in the states probably japan too.
He’ll always be Michael Knight to me.
"I remember when I first saw return of the jedi in theaters in 1983, it was about 6 years before I was born!" Generation Tech Gold right their.
"Live and let live." Also always be willing to try new things, remain open minded.
i do remember seeing return of the jedi in 1983 i was 5.... it was something that was formative for me and opened up my love of scifi.
I get to pick on this video - you said that Luke had only met Ben Krnobi a few days earlier, but the whole mid rim offensive and retreat happened between Yavin and Hoth. I will grant you the point if you intended to say that Luke had only known Ben for a couple of days. Otherwise Great Video!
I get to pick on this comment- you have a GLARING typo.
@@JoeLigmama please feel free, as long as it is not the difference in American and English spellings.
Plus the contrast to the bright green lightsaber looks badass!
That picture of you and The Hoff is just incredible.
That's tue reason the prequels were hated because they were old . Your channel explains everything Lord plinket complained about
Your opening comment reminded me when I saw ROTJ
I was 9
The theater was situated in the parking lot of a mall in Little Rock, of Geyer Springs.
My mom worked at a photomat in the mall and sent me to the movies
Thanks, Alan
Can you explain why Luke gets a hand with artificial flesh, while Anakin got a hand that looked like episode one C3PO?
Technology advanced
Palpi used outdated/substandard parts to keep Anakin in his place,
while Luke got medical care from people who actually cared about him.
@@knickglay
Anakin, not Darth.
@@eddiejravannen Oops, forgot about that one.
I wonder if any of The Parents of The Padawans Killed by Anakin ever found out that Their Babies Died after They were "Kidnapped" by the Jedi that were to Protect Them.
Alan, you mentioned that a sign of being an adult is taking responsibility for someone or something other than yourself. At it's roots, being religious is no difference. It is an understanding that the world does not revolve around you, and that God is at the center. Speaking as a Catholic, our Faith is not divorced from reason, but rather faith is strengthened by reason. We are all beholden to the natural law, God teaches us these laws through his commandments and teachings. Up until the past hundred or so years we didn't understand that certain foods like chicken and pork can be dangerous if not cooked to 165 degrees. Pigs in particular carry a lot of food-borne illnesses. They didn't have the concept of bacteria and viruses 3000-4000 years ago, so God told the Jewish people not to eat pork. He even gives them laws regarding clean and unclean and we can clearly see an attempt to help people realize that some people were sick, and needed to be kept separate since they lacked the medicine we have now. Not only does God teach us how to stay healthy and safe, he not so subtly tells us that we need each other, that we need community to survive, and that certain choices and lifestyles leads to a breakdown in the fabric of community. Where that breakdown occurs, is where tyrants insert themselves as the answer.
I like Han Solo's two descriptions of Luke to Chewbacca after Han comes out of carbonite hibernation: 1st: "Luke's crazy. He can't even take care of himself much less rescue anybody." And 2nd: "A Jedi-Knight?! I'm out of it for a little while and everyone gets delusions of grandeur."
Coleman Trebor really out here catching stray bullets
Skywalkers with the Dark-Robe Dripset always looks clean.
I always saw his gradually darkening clothing as an indication of his maturation, growing from wide-eyed optimist to (relatively) seasoned veteran.
wait. He was wearing Camouflage. When did he change clothes on Endor. ok he was just wearing a freaking Poncho, and was wearing black under that.
Gogurt 😂 nice vid. Gives you a new appreciation for choices made.
I always thought it was just George Lucas being too tight to pay for laundry services. And lol at the intro very good
I can't find a single source saying GL studied archeology
I think it’s a metaphor to show how luke was tempted by the darkness
was never tempted, just like the colour black better.
Yeah, sort of like the phrase "Once you go black you never go back."
Odd question and hoping someone might know. Was Anakin Skywalker ever made MASTER in the Jedi Order and why he was never given the title MASTER after killing killing Count Dooku like obi-Wan Kenobi, was after killing Darth Maul…
GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK
This video made me understands why Hajime Isayama compared Eren to Luke despite those videos and pictures of portraying the Attack Titan and Darth Vader as sort of the same from the certain point of view. Just like how Han, Leia, Chewbacca, 3-PO and R-2 are Luke's resonsibilities, those who Eren considered his friends, Armin and Mikasa in particular, are his responsibilities, whether they asked for it or not. And this is why he unleashed the Rumbling because from his point of view, it is the only thing that can really protect them and whoever that lived on Paradis.
Fun Fact: People kept calling Eren out for unleashing the Rumbling but nobody seemed to care about Luke blowing up the Death Star anymore in nowadays.
I see your point, and I do agree to an extent.
However, I believe the different reaction was how it was framed. The Rumbling was much more apocalyptic than the destruction of the Death Star. While there was a million people on the Death Star and some were probably civilians, it had just destroyed Alderaan, genociding 2 billion people and all the plants, animals, and culture the planet had to offer (No one wants their culture and traditions to be forgotten).
By destroying the Death Star, Luke had saved billions of other worlds from being destroyed. One could even say Luke avenged Alderaan. I can't really say Eren avenged of saved the nations Marley invaded and annexed.
I like your analysis though. Both Eren and Luke could have prioritized their friends in the moment, forgetting the global/galactic effects of their actions in the moment. Luke just happened to be in a better situation.
@@justagecko Eren's situation was not better. Marley was rallying the world to come to commit genocide against Paradis in order to further their own agenda that is to obtain the Founding Titan and use the Rumbling for their own gain. Plus, we all saw what Marley did to the Mid-East Allied Forces at the Battle of Fort Slava.
Also, the problem is how Marley ruled its territories and the influences it was spreading before the Rumbling. Marley is a bully. A bully who keeps spreading hatred and racism everywhere around the world. In other words, Marley can do better with the Powers of the Titans to stop hatred. But no, they used the Titans to enrich themselves and to become the top dog of the world, keep repeating the same thing again and again like how the Old Eldian Empire did back when it was in power.
Alan, three words... Tide Pod Challenge.
"luke wears black so it makes you wonder if he will go to the dark side. Now here is 10 minutes of my ted talk"
There is a literal ton of things in Star Wars, in particular IV, V and VI that are not for kids. In fact it sails over the heads of most adults.
You mean incest?
Just the right amount of spice in this one 👌
Who else hated how Rian Johnson made Luke from brave into a crushed soul?
Remmber that time he was hung up side down and had to quickly speed run learning force pull while a giant snow monster came to eat him?, and then after toppleing an empire he retires to an island and guzzels milk stright from a tit of unknown creature and we arnt sure if its wanted or not(judgeing by its face its just scared of the crazy old man with space magic" ahhhh you mean that story of luke yeah i remmber. Am a go live in what the call not canon any more.
About 99% of fans
Legends Luke literally becomes the grand master of the New Jedi Order. Handles multiple crises for the New Republic. Pretty much singlehandly brings back the Jedi Order and it doesn't get crushed because he has a bad dream. Marries and has a kid who is almost as powerful as he is. Eventually dies and becomes a Force ghost to guide his great great grandson (Cade Skywalker).
Na Rian just showed that Luke only needed a little light (Rey) to remind him of how he should be. Rian made Luke into a person, Legends Luke was just badly written fan fiction by someone that doesn't understand the character. This is just another reason why he sequels were such a success, it's the another nail in the coffin for legends.
@@everettjohnson9374 lmao copium. It sure is a good thing that most people would disagree with you...even now, it's being commonly regarded that the sequels are trash compared to Legends. Even Disney are bringing back elements of Legends because of how much better written they were.
Flash mobs would seem to be a counter example to your statement about trusting disembodied voices we barely know. What do you think?
I thought it would've been Luke trying to meet his father halfway and bring him back.
I would push back on the idea of holding back criticism because it is" for children" I think that things written for children need to have even more care and be better written than things written for adults. Because kids aren't stupid they just lack experience. And if the experience that you expose them to is poorly written, not well thought out etc. It's going to deeply affect them later in life
No for sure criticism is good and should be pushed forward. It’s just the toxicity and anger that accompanies it sometimes is cringy as hell. Especially when it’s an older adult bullying younger fans. This is the problem with social media we’re so hidden behind the keyboard nowadays it’s difficult to remember that there are just people on the other side. Especially on platforms like UA-cam we have to remember it’s often kids who are commenting.
Why i would think the kids who grew up watvhing the pauls and prank channels are now more pariahs and are semi entitled
13:25 bro I would so follow that voice, it's a call to adventure
Also, it had been months at least since the previous movie - Luke had been hearing Obi-wan's voice since seconds after his death, always giving good advice (happens at least twice in ANH); he's literally been trusting the voice in his head for ages by the time we get to TESB.
0:05 I vaguely remember seeing Return of the Jedi in theaters as a child 😎.
Black clothing is a death sentence in southern Arizona in the summer.
I just realized that Anakin Skywalker lost his right hand three times - to Dooku, Kenobi, and Luke. 💪🏻🦾🦾
Like how Luke's final blow did the trick in "killing" Vader. Allowing Anakin's return.😄
No, he lost his left hand to Kenobi. he hand one hand left to pull him out from being burned by lava. I went back to look at the image. He was crawling with up with his right hand.
I had always thought the black outfit was a physical representation of his struggles with the Dark Side. (At least out of universe)
I saw the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition in theaters at age 5.
Luke Skywalker have become my childhood hero ever since.
For a second I thought he said yogurt. Merchandising merchandising, we put the movies name on everything.
Yay! Love the delve into anthropology
In black cos he was BAD ASS!
I really enjoyed this video, thank you
The fact that anything, including awareness, exists at all is the greatest paradox. Intellectuals completely ignore the mysteries that make the things they ponder possible.
He wears the black for the poor and the beaten down
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town.
Oh wait… that was Johnny Cash
Ah, a subject near and dear to my heart 'Return of the Jedi'.
Full disclosure 'Return of the Jedi' is my favorite Star Wars film. It is not the best Star Wars film (Empire Strikes Back retains that honor). The movie feels like two seperate films. Jedi starts out with rescuing Han Solo then ends with an attack on a second deathstar. I could harp on more dumb things in Jedi, but I'll save time. Sadly Jedi is regarded as the weakest of the original trilogy movies, but i still love it.
However there are some great moments in Jedi. Luke being a new kind of Jedi that was never classically trained has to learn about the force on his own especially since Yoda dies. The dark side can tempt Luke. We see Luke force choke a Gamorrean guard going into Jaba's palace one of the only time we see a light side user do that.
I also love how the subplot of the second act is the emperor trying to turn Luke to the dark side. Some great moments in there.
I wish they had more time to fleash these stories out, but the comics and books are the best we had. And now they're no longer cannon. Such a waste.
That opening 😂😂
I thought Luke was a big Johnny Cash fan but questioned why he wasn’t wearing cowboy boots
Luke's first skills in RotJ were force choking and mind control....and he defeats Vader in anger...
Interesting video. As a former Christian, former Wiccan, and currently atheist, this gave me a lot to think about.
The faith, trusting that people won't shank you the moment you step out your front door every day. We all want peace, but for those who don't have it, they will take from others in an attempt to get it, even if briefly.
"Gogurt"! 2:30
i seriously adore this channel
Serious question. How does one become as wise as you? Your so knowledgeable and insightful. But it's not just smart. Your wise. You understand things as they are. How can I become like you?
The real reason for the black suit was that. After Luke lost his hand he was feel very down and kind of started binge eating he packed on a few pounds so he was a little concerned about his appearance so the black suit helped give the affect of slimming .
Interesting video idea
How different jedi reacted to ashoka leaving the jedi order
These kind of videos are the reason why I watch every video, there is almost always a lesson hidden in your videos. Great content as always
The vidya is the vidya, with a vidya-lesson in the vidya...?
Perfection.
Epic intro. Really funny
This video speaks to my soul
Lol... just cause a cat walked into my house and decided to stay fir ever doesn't make me an adult lol. Hes just manipulative AF
It’s funny, of all the courses I took in college, Sociology I thought would be an easy A and lots of girls. It ended up being one of the best series of classes I took that play play into real life still to this day. Had a great teacher which always helps but it wasn’t what I expected at all.
6:12 - 6:28 Well said among many other things on this fine video as often happens 💯%
George Lucas while born and raised in a Methodist family., was looking at age 12 as the time when in many cultures a person passes from being am "innocent child" to an "Adult" in that scolety.
The most odious example being, in the Jewish Faith a Boy at 12 becomes a Man at his Bar Mitzvah and a girl becomes a Woman at her But Mitzvah.
That time in all of our lives when we know we are not just children our parents, but self aware being who knows Right from Wrong.
That is the "12 Year Old" Lucas is referring to. To the Child, that while he/she still lives inside all of us, is also that something in you that knows what is Wrong, like Killing, and other things you do are Right, like loving your fellow beings in the Universe.
awesome commentary as usual!
There must be colourfull ways to be an adoult, just look at Han and Lando. I think the change in lightsaber and robe colour simply cybalices change and growth.
ROTJ was the last great thing of Star Wars. Right before the dark times, before Disney!
Revenge of the Sith
I never questioned it nor even thought about. I think if you have to do that you might be too dumb to watch Star Wars. And having to explain it as an adult? C'mon dude.
Ah yes, my favorite Star Wars character *gogurt*
2:22 I think your take is really backwards, and I don't mean that disrespectfully. If that's your opinion, not hating you for it. Couple things: Luke's cloak in RoTJ was actually brown. It just looked black on camera. His tunic was absolutely black, and when they did episode 3, George intentionally mirrors that attire with Anakin (in timeline order, Luke is mirroring Anakin obv). Anakin chose his black tunic as sort of a dramatic flair, as per usual with Anakin, to piss off the Jedi council, but it also was made of a slightly durable leather that offered some protection, so it had its function too (typical Anakin).
George intentionally set luke up to be wearing a black tunic in RoTJ to really imply that Luke might turn to the dark side. He force chokes gamoreans, and although Leia killed Jabba, it's questionable if Luke was going to. They built up the tension of Luke's choice in the throne room scene, and we see Luke strongly in the light when he's trying to convince Vader to turn back to the light. But in the throne room with Palpatine, it starts turning to the fear that, even if Luke kills Palpatine, will that ultimately lead him to the dark side? And when Vader taunts him with Leia, Luke truly does tap into the dark side and almost killed Vader and could've turned to the dark side. But then he sees Vaders hand and remembers. Remembers why he's here. That he's not going to kill Vader. Or the emperor, even if it means he dies. He makes the impossible choice of being a true Jedi. But he definitely struggled and could've turned.
But I do see your point. I do think, even if he killed Vader in a moment of rage, he wouldn't become Palpatine servant. Or had vader overcome Luke, he would've still chosen to not turn to the dark side. Palpatine didn't have the hold over Luke that he did with Anakin. No dying wife. No assisted murder of the second in command of the Jedi order with a sith lord. So I think the intentions Luke had going into his confrontation of Vader would've ultimately won out even if he hadn't thrown away his light saber and refused the emperor, if he had killed Vader, or lost and forced to turn, I do agree he probably wouldn't turn.
But yeah, disagree slightly I guess, but it's always fun talking star wars
“Go-gurt”😆☠️
That thumbnail😊
It's life when you're walking with God or if you choose to use what you're blessed with for evil...
The one that everyone runs to or bows down to are not the smartest or the strongest it's just that the people aren't..put that same person in a room of like minded people and that wouldn't be treated the same or fill as powerful and some would be destroyed,especially if their evil..
Luke was smart for not joining the darkside because he knew the strength in being Good.
Thank you for this video🤍✨️🖤
10:55 I can understand why you have that perspective, but I think the idea that a person isn't an adult until they take responsibility for someone other than themselves, is inherently flawed. Some individuals are natural loners, this doesn't stop them from being fiercely independent and capable. Furthermore, while responsibility can be an indication of someone's maturity, it is not a prerequisite for adulthood or maturity. An aversion to responsibility does not necessarily mean that person is not a mature adult, they could simply not wish to have the potential to negatively impact others through responsibilities, or just not be interested in a lifestyle that results in such responsibilities, in addition they are still responsible for their own actions, well being, and survival. Depending on a person's values, philosophies, and ideologies, they could also consider freedom, volunteering and helping people, or the pursuit of knowledge to be more important than focusing on having a girlfriend, reproducing, and having a pet or houseplants. Having responsibilities does not make someone into an adult, we see this clearly in the numerous parents, pet owners, and business owners, who have demonstrated their carelessness, and inability to care for and maintain those responsibilities.
