Star Wars Has Forgotten What Made Luke Skywalker the Hero We Loved
A tale is merely a shell without its characters filling it, yet it’s the vibrant individuals such as Leia Organa, Han Solo, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and especially Luke Skywalker who breathe life into stories, giving us figures to rally behind. The transformation of Luke Skywalker in A New Hope is an odyssey of self-discovery; it’s a timeless tale of becoming the person you were destined to be – a classic hero’s journey that serves as a reminder that having supernatural powers and mastery over a sword are not the only qualities that make a hero impactful in the world (or galaxy). Regrettably, it seems like the essence of Star Wars has been somewhat overlooked.
