10 Things We Hate About Luke
Sure, Luke Skywalker is a terrorist and a Jedi but there are loads of other reasons to hate him. Here are ten of the best:
1. He’s an orphan.
Orphans are scary. Despite coming from broken homes and suffering from tragic pasts, these parentless kids always seem to discover that they’re the one prophesied to realise some “noble” destiny involving destroying somebody’s really carefully made plans by using magical powers they learned from some creepy old wizard guy who’s secretly been “watching over” them they’re whole life.
2. He’s always whinging about something.
Whether it’s not being allowed to join the Rebel Alliance, or having to go to Tosche Station to pick up power converters, or having his adoptive parents brutally killed and then flame grilled by Stormtroopers, the kid manages to find the negative in any situation.
3. He has amazing magical powers…
And he doesn’t do anything cool with them. Sure, he makes C-3PO levitate to impress a bunch of mutant teddy bears and can do some pretty sweet jumps but why doesn’t he crush them all with the power of his mind, or even just mentally untie the ropes that bind him? How come he can’t do a simple Jedi mind trick on a giant space slug, or block Palpatine’s Force lightning with his lightsaber like EVERY SINGLE PERSON did in the prequel trilogy?!
