• luke skywalker is terrifying. 
  
• no, shut up, come back.
• you have to understand:
•  to you or me he may not be; he may be all sunshine smiles and corngold hair and the biggest eyes this side of the galaxy, but imagine you’re Dagger (stormtroopers don’t get proper names), firing at a boy, only the bolts never hit. They sing to the side. You think that there’s something wrong with your blaster, maybe, but none of your friends can hit him either. Finest shots in the Empire, you are, but you can’t hit this boy. And he cuts you down. He wields a weapon whose name you’ve never learned and he cuts you down into smoking bloodless bodies and your friends die before you – only he leaves you. Knocks you out with a blow of the Force – and isn’t that a nightmare of its own, unseen hands blotting out your thoughts – leaves you there in the cooling blood of your squadmates.
•  Imagine that you’re Cara Ilhyre and you’re a dancer for the Hutt and you hate it, of course you do, but it is a living, a living, and this boy comes in, fresh-faced and young and he says surrender or be destroyed only he and you both know that the Hutt do not and never have surrendered and when he says destroythere’s this grin on his lips, thin and sharp, and he’s kind, of course he is, but –
  
• so you’re Cara Ilhyre and you’re a native of tattooine and like many of your specis you are force-touched and you were a girl, once, a very little girl, and your mother told you tales of krayt dragons who slumbered beneath the sands and gentled their young to their pearl-heavy breasts. krayt dragons are tender mothers, she had said, and it was meant to teach you something of the duality of nature, or to fear those with young to protect, or something; but all you can think is this boy, how he smiles as kind as your mother did, once, but you’re convinced that if you were to cut him down the middle you would find dragon-pearls in his ribs and fire instead of a heart
• the boy cuts downs jabba’s goons like they are nothing, nothing, and afterwards, afterwards, you sense his sorrow. and somehow that makes it worse.
• because you say, later, to your mother’s ghost (maybe) or to the desert, he knows that killing people is hard and that weighs on him and he does it anyway and –
• and,you say, it isn’t as simple as: he makes the hard choices. he knew the hutt would fight. he wanted to burn them down, oh he did, and that sister of his –

reblogging my own post to add: luke skywalker  can wave his hand and choke you half to death, make you believe whatever he wants you to; he’s killed monsters and gangsters and the greatest weapon the world has ever seen – of course some people will fear him, because every hero is a villain to some, and the sunshiney marshmallow exterior does not mean that he’s not a force of fucking nature

#luke skywalkeron the one hand yes cinnamon rollon the other #holy fuck really not #i just love the idea of our heroes being terrors when viewed from just the right angle #star wars

#this is what pretty much everyone in the luke skywalker fandom seems to forget#there’s a lot of emphasis on how pure and good and hardworking and whatever else he is#and he is!#but he is first and foremost and forever#A Fucking Terrifying Creature#people on Jakku (a junkyard planet by even Han Solo’s reckoning) have heard of him#and think he’s a made-up story#and guess what kiddos#made-up stories are not nice#the stories that people tell each other in the desert are about demons and monsters and vicious animals that will kill you with a look#and heroes who are (if you look very carefully in the right light) barely distinguishable from those demons/monsters/animals#Luke Skywalker is the boogeyman on worlds he’s never heard of and the threat billions of parents use on their children#and the worst part is#Luke must know all this#must have heard those stories and learned about these myths#and he cannot argue with a single one because here’s the thing:#he is pure and good and hardworking and whatever else#but he’s killed hundreds of thousands of people and he can invade your mind and move your body and kill you with a look#so he can’t ever argue against those stories and myths#because like Han said: it’s true#all of it (via@leupagus)

“Careful. They can smell fear.”

Please.

THANK YOU STAR WARS GODS WE DID IT

bikerlorian:

“Get in there!”

I cannot stop laughing at this.

kate-komics:

Just layin’ out the facts…

Yaaaaaasssss

Happy Star Wars Day!!

So um hi, I’m new to this fandom but please hear me out. How about a Tarzan-ish/Tribe DinLuke AU :D

This idea had been pestering me for the past 3 days now but I don’t have the time right now to write a whole fanfic but I do have something short written and drawn for it.

SUMMARY:

So Luke, Leai, Han, Chewbacca, Artoo and Threepio went to explore the heart of a huge rain forest (idk what to call it yet) themselves because Leai believes that Gideon’s so-called “Expedition” in the said forest is bantha shit and he’s actually planning on destroying it. The worst part is that the Senate Council isn’t doing anything about it. They’re scared for the all of the life forms on that forest so they wanted to take down Gideon by gathering some evidence. When the news about a plane crashing somewhere in the forest took over the internet, they decided to check it out. What they didn’t know, however, is that hidden tribes also reside in that forest and they’re about to be pulled into something more than they bargained for.

–X–

This is my design for Luke. He still wears his iconic Poncho tho but I don’t have the time to draw it yet sksksk Grogu finds him very interesting. He knows ALS and that’s why he can communicate with Grogu. Din also finds him very interesting ;D

This is what I imagine Grogu would look like 0u0 he’s…an escapee of some sort. He may or may not be selectively mute but he’s very cautious of other people. He’s very much attached to Din though.

He was on the plane that crashed in the forest, not sure how he survived, he just did. Din found him after he and some of his men decided to investigate the crash site. They took him in but Grogu doesn’t have a skull mask of his own yet because he hasn’t been officially blessed (?) as part of their tribe since he can’t tell them his name. Until Luke came in that is hehe

I had a hard time coming up for Din’s design but ngl I think he turned out great. The skull is supposed to be a Mythosaur but I didn’t remember it’s existence after I finished coloring Din :“D Please note that the color may vary from different screen to screen so it may be paler or darker than my original color palette for him >o< 

Din can understand and speak Basic (English) but he doesn’t want to because of his anger towards outsiders. He’s fiercely protective of Grogu and a jerk to Luke but he started to lighten up after seeing that they’re just here to help them take down Gideon. Luke received extra cookies points for helping them get Grogu officially adopted into their tribe. The claws I was talking about on the sketchpad was his weapon/gloves I think.

Without his skull mask, he kinda looks like Lapu-Lapu (a hero here in the Philippines) because I imagine him with long hair or a mullet. I’ll try to draw that when I get the time sksksk

ALTERNATIVE DARK HIDDEN TRIBE AU (ART CONCEPT COMING SOON):

The thing is that I don’t know if I wan’t to stick with this plot, I kinda like the idea of Dark!Din more where he captures the group so they could kill them for…food??? Yup, cannibals but I suck at this kind of trope that’s why I usually just reads them. *cough* Hannibal *cough* So yeah, it could be a dark ending where they’re killed except for Luke who’s forced to be Din’s spouse. It doesn’t help that Grogu likes him and you know that Din would do anything for his precious son.

–X–

BONUS ART (WITHOUT COLOR THO BECAUSE MY FINGER IS KILLING ME):

Grogu is scared of Han for some reason I can’t remember I was writing all of my sleep-deprived ramblings on my sketchpad but yeah, Grogu finds Luke very interesting so he kept following them. They recognized him as one of the missing children on the plane but Grogu was very adamant that he doesn’t want to go back. Han suggested that they turn him over for some cash rewards which caused Grogu to cry and for both the Skywalker Twins to smack Han on the back of his head.

It’s confrontation time! >:3

So Luke was captured by Boba Fett and was brought to Din since many claims that they saw Grogu with him. The problem is that Grogu was currently with Leia since they all got chased by Gideon’s men and they had no choice but to split up. They were after Luke specifically so he gave Grogu to his sister when they split up. Din is furious and he had every right to be so, too bad Luke had to endure his wrath. Luke tries to explain but Din was having none of it and he was about to execute Luke then and there when Grogu comes in to save his ass.

"Grogu wait-!”

Grogu stood in front of Luke with his arms stretched out, “Buir, no!”

Everyone was in stunned silence.

Din was the first one to recover and he easily side-stepped Grogu to point his spear at Luke once more.

“What did you call him?” His voice was so deep and grave that Luke couldn’t help shivering from it.

“Answer me.”

Luke wetted his lips, “Grogu. That’s his name.”

“You can understand him.” It wasn’t even a question.

“Yes.”

That’s all! Thank you so much for coming to my TED talk :DDD
