Like Afton, I Always Come Back

#If you don’t cry over how much Owen and Beru love Luke, idk how to help you

OBI-WAN KENOBI PART VI “I’m not putting anyone else in danger, Owen. We’re enough. You and me.”

OBI-WAN KENOBI PART VI

Uncle Owen is not a grumpy old man who is more worried about his farm than what Luke wants.

Uncle Owen is not afraid Luke inherited the cruelty of his father. He doesn’t even know Anakin became Vader, he thinks Anakin got killed.

Uncle Owen doesn’t hate Obi-Wan because they had an argument or because something happened between them while Obi-Wan was on Tatooine.

Owen Lars was handled a tiny fragile baby to protect, and told that this baby’s father, who was always restless on Tatooine as a child, who loved speed and flying, who brought his starfighters into the most dangerous battles, to whom there was never enough excitement and adventure, has gotten himself killed in a war he was so eager to fight in, and which Owen never understood. 

He watched over and raised this baby for 19 years. He is afraid. He is afraid when Luke becomes restless just like boy Anakin. He is afraid when Luke falls in love with flying, just like Anakin. He is afraid Obi-Wan will drag Luke off Tatooine, just like he dragged off Anakin.

He is afraid Luke will be like his father, never content to stay on their farm where it’s safe, but fly too fast, and fight too hard, and be too idealistic, and then get killed.

So when Owen says he’s afraid Luke has too much of his father’s in him, he is not worried Luke will be like Anakin, he is afraid Luke will die like Anakin.

Friendly reminder that Uncle Owen absolutely loved his teeny-tiny son nephew Luke.

and friendly reminder that womp rats are like 7 feet long and can easily kill a person. so shooting one isn’t Luke being some killing spree freak he’s literally protecting his family.

Does anyone ever think about how in their last moments, surrounded by stormtroopers, blasters pointed at them, their farm being burned to cinders, that Owen and Beru Lars were just grateful that Luke wasn’t there?

Because I do

family is people who love you

Can you imagine Obi-Wan dropping off Luke with Owen and Beru like: “Hey, your step-brother, who you only saw that one time when he killed a bunch of people, has now killed even more people and joined an evil dictator. Also he choked his pregnant wife who is now dead, so here, take care of his new-born son. Hope he doesn’t turn out like his dad. Laters.”
