#i like to think he'd be scared and proud of his horribly traumatized little family fdhjkgshk

[trashgoblincreature]

yknow. if smollusk was made from tartar's data, that would. technically make tartar its parent. right.

lil judd. was created from a cloning device. which tartar's creator also made. so. lil judd is technically his brother, like judd is. right.

not only does he have a problematic kid he doesnt know about who was evil once. he also has a little brother that stole grizz's company as soon as grizz was defeated

and judd. just. has nothing to do with it

Can we pls have some anh luke hc just after he joined the rebellion?🙏

Aaaahhhh that's a super interesting ask, especially because this doesn't get talked about in the movies or the books👀

I apologize if these are a little bit messy and all over the place, I had a very long day at work and wasn't sure whether I should post at all (but I really wanted to lol so here you go, anon🩵)

• Luke usually is a very positive thinking and easily excitable person, so I don't think it would take him overly long to adapt to new situations and surroundings 

• at least under normal conditions

• right after he joins the rebellion they are far from normal though, and I'm sure that even the little things, like a short moment of quiet, would serve as a reminder that 

• he lost everything 

• for the very first time in his life he is far away from home and all alone 

• he had to leave behind everyone and everything he ever knew

• he couldn't even say goodbye or bring some personal belongings that might've been important to him 

• now is the time that the loss of Obi-Wan, as a well as the deaths of of his aunt and uncle, really set in 

• and let's be real, all three were brutal and followed each other so closely that it makes them even harder to process

• not only did he see his home destroyed but also witnessed the murder of the man, that he believed would lead him from here on forward

• he got shot at and nearly died several times himself 

• (at this point he probably doesn't care about that much but it's still a stress factor)

• it's only natural to assume that Luke is not doing well

• I see him being very nervous and kind of jittery, unable to remain still

• he's slightly uncomfortable as well, scared of what will happen next

• he hasn't known Leia, Han and Chewie for long but already fears that something horrible will happen to them too

• he doesn't even know where Han and Chewie are for that matter or if he'll ever see them again 

• he wants to keep them safe but knows there is not much he can do

• I think this leads to him being very frustrated and, to keep going, he turns his fear and helplessness into anger 

• he has nightmares in which again and again he has to look upon the burned bodies of his family 

• at least R2 is with him and makes for good company

• they grow much closer during that time and Luke is so grateful to have him around 

• I'm kind of conflicted because on one hand it might be a good thing there is so much going on that he can't really take his time to arrive and settle down 

• theoretically it keeps him from overthinking and dwelling on the traumatic events 

• but on the other hand it would be so important for Luke to have time to grieve and for looking after himself 

• it's incredibly harsh and unfair but eventually he will have to decide on his priorities and on what to do

• will he succumb to his anger and despair 

• or will he keep going 

• somehow he still possesses the strength to keep going and to focus on the here and now

• there is so much to discover too!

• there are new foods and drinks to try and he's so enthusiastic about them 

• he gets new outfits, which I see him gushing over because I'm sure the only clothes he owned before were hand me downs from his uncle 

• he's so very proud about the pilot uniform he gets to wear too 

• he looks at it whenever he can 

• also there is so much to do and he wants to help out wherever he can 

• maybe he gets to take the first actual shower of his life 

• (did he know before that showering with water is actually a thing?)

• he finally has the opportunity to look at ships and their repairs from up close 

• I think he'd hang around the hangars and the pilots a lot, asking them all kinds of questions about their life and adventures with the rebellion 

• because there are so many new people Luke would be hesitant in his approach at first 

• while he's very eager to learn and desperately wants to get to know as many of them as possible, he doesn't want to interrupt their work 

• he doesn't want to be a burden 

• we don't know for sure if he got bullied back on Tatooine or not

• maybe Wormie is just an affectionate nick name?

• either way he worries about not being qualified and good enough 

• sure, he saved Princess Leia but he didn't do that alone, he had help

• what if nobody takes him seriously? He's just a boy from a desert planet 

• but to his surprise everyone greets him with open arms

• suddenly he's being flirted with too???

• he is confused™

• speaking of Leia though...he wonders if he'll get to spend more time with her when this is over?

• or at least for a few minutes in between?

• he wants to 

• when will he see her again?

• she's so nice and for some reason he feels drawn to her, it's unlike anything he ever experienced with someone else before 

• I think he'd look up to her too, admiring her strength and bravery 

• like so many others he feels inspired by her
