I want to write an essay about the little that I know about Owen Lars, aka Luke’s father, but for now I’m just so glad because he and Beru did evrything in their power to give Luke a happy and normal childhood, which is what’s made Luke the sweetheart we know him to be. Just seeing ten year old Luke, ďoing exactly what a ten year old should be doing and seeing Owen in a face off against an Inquisitor, when he cannot even compare to her powers, only reconfirms that the two did everything in their power to keep him safe, which I hope offered Obi-Wan some comfort.
No wonder Owen doesn’t like Ben, I also wouldn’t be too thrilled if a weird hermit who possibly committed war crimes once was creepily watching my 10-year-old nephew with binoculars.
With the Obi-Wan series trailer dropping I’d like to remind all of you that Owen Lars hates Obi-Wan and entirely blames him for what happened to Anakin.
Absolutely ADORING the contrast between Owen, who’s all “stay away from us”, and Bail, who legit flew to Tatooine himself after .2 seconds of Leia being in danger
okay i just woke up but im still reeling from kenobi and all i can think about is bail organa and owen lars.
both of them having agreed to raise these children that mean so much to the galaxy. for bail, raising the daughter of one of his closest friends. owen, the son the brother he hardly knew, but knew was dangerous. both of them raising these children with such a fierce protectiveness.
owen, how when we see him with luke, the second that he’s not where he was supposed to be, owen is off shouting his name. how owen goes and tells obi wan to leave luke alone, leave him out of the jedi business because he’s seen what it can bring, can see luke is already too much like anakin. how then he literally stares down revas lightsaber, not speaking a word of his nephew. like not for a second there i thought owen would break.
bail, so overwhelmingly proud of leia already, of her free spirit. of how she can already stand up to those who treat others (and her) poorly. how he never tells her to change, only pinky swear to apologize after. how we won’t take no as an answer when it comes to getting her back. how in perfect contrast to owen who wants to keep obi from luke as much as possible, bail wastes no time travelling all the way to tatooine to make him help save her.
seeing them be character foils for each other while at the same time we get to see how similar luke and leia are and how they both handle raising them differently but with the same dedication and love is fucking beautiful.
