Vader: Whoever Caused This Mess Is Going To-

vader: whoever caused this mess is going to-

luke: it was me.

vader: -is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance <3

vader: You are violent

luke: Yeah but I’m short, so it’s adorable

I'm not even a fan of dinluke but it intrigues me how some people discredit luke (and even din) in their stories or hc, make din dark and possessive when he isn't? the guy cares about his friends but does he know when he has to let go (chapter 16 the rescue? is there to prove it) and make luke stupid, naive and someone who wants to stay home when it's the opposite of his personality? he's been through a lot of shit and has a lot more emotional intelligence than din and is a 10x better warrior than din (I won't quote some people talking about din vs vader because... it's just unreal) and luke is a adventurous by nature, he loves to fly and discover new planets, help people and just erase it? turning him into a housewife...

listen, if dinluke were real; *din djarin* would be the one who would stay at home and luke would be the one who would be hanging around... probably going on missions together or on an insane adventure. enjoy this couple but seriously don't make they occ, din is not a mean and possessive and cruel person, he is introverted and a little shy socially but is fair and altruistic and kind & luke is not dumb and naive, he is extremely smart, he is a formidable warrior who has several problems - like his constant struggle with the dark side, but he CHOOSES to be good and kind and trust people but he is still a war general and a survivor.

i don't care about dark fics and I avoid reading them because I don't like to stress, but it's a little tricky when your favorite character is decaterized in a way that you can't recognize him.

so... nobody ever thought of a star wars AU with vader & luke based on cruella (2021)? because I do.

luke skywalker as stella/cruela;

luke skywalker or just luke, is an orphan boy, who used to live in the quiet town of tatooine with his uncles, unfortunately they were killed and luke ended up leaving tatooine after that, never knowing the reason for their death, luke ends up in the city from coruscant, living on the street for a certain period of time before meeting the rascally teenager, han solo and his huge furry dog, chewie

luke is extremely skillful and ends up helping han solo in his daily thefts, soon living with him in the abandoned building, he is fast and small and his youthful appearance is extremely helpful when distracting

but luke has inherited a talent for fashion and sewing, they have a great sense of style and sew the prettiest pieces for the robberies and go unnoticed because of that, posing as rich city kids

he ends up developing a huge passion for sewing and clothing and has the dream of working at Empire, a powerful and extravagant clothing line, under the iron command of Lord Vader, unfortunately, for his life of theft he has no way and only longs for by far, although one day in his 21-year-old, han he gives him a role that is the contract to work in one of the Empire stores, it's the happiest day of his life

it's a janitor job which turns him off a bit but he works hard constantly and tries his best to get his boss to take a look at his drawings it never happens but luke skywalker is not an easy give up

one day, he ends up trying his rock-bottom moment and ends up drinking a whole bottle of liqueur, taken from his hidden boss's liquor cabinet, luke was drunk, and ends up remodeling some pieces, such as the store's main window

luke just didn't know that the next day lord vader would have a meeting with his boss and would end up taking an interest in his work, claiming that 'that window was one of the best things he had seen in over 10 years', it's no surprise when he ends up getting a card and lord vader's assistant piett whispers to him to be in lord vader's shop and office at 5 o'clock in the morning sharp.

darth vader as the baroness;

before taking on a new mantle and legacy, anakin skywalker was a renowned stylist and a loving husband, who designed the most beautiful and elegant clothes just for his wife, model padmé amidala

the couple were expecting their child, excited and eager for the new addition to their little family (with their two pets, the theerapio golden retriever and their white cat artoo), unfortunately, fate had other plans

padmé amidala mysteriously ends up dying in a car accident, her husband was not present, currently in a meeting with his mentor, sheev palpatine. both the child and the woman were presumed dead.

anakin skywalker blames himself for the event, as well as developing an immense hatred for everything, blaming the papparazi and his closest friend for the tragedy, obi-wan, claiming that he was the one who planned padmé's trip, ending in his death. vader, no longer anakin, shuts down completely and becomes obsessed with wiping out Jedi shops as well as his reputation, in just a few years he's already in charge of the Empire shows, and later inherits the fortune of Palpatine, a fierce stylist and with a thirst for revenge, who creates the most stylish clothes to kill

vader is a stern and suffocating boss, firing all those who annoy him or fail him, the only person who is still under his command after years is piett, the stressed and anxious middle-aged man who cares about his boss but hasn't. courage to say it out loud for fear of being fired

vader's runway shows are always the most critically acclaimed and in his next collection, he plans to put an end to the Jedi brand as well as obi-wan's career.

but the clothes his stylists show him are predictable and uncreative, not a single innovation, leaving him in a constant bad mood for these flaws.

one day, he has a meeting with one of his managers, and when he arrives, a crowd in the window, curious, he decides to observe whatever is causing this mess, and he has no regrets; it's a disorganized and wonderfully creative shop window, used newspapers for clothing and a dress that once should have been hideous, is now a creative and insane work of art, and when his gaze lowers an inch he sees who made this mess; a boy passed out on the floor, a bottle of liquor beside him, and vader already knows what he should do

in what follows, it is an unexpected but highly efficient duo: luke becomes vader's protégé, even under his authoritative command, designing and creating the most elaborate and wonderful pieces for vader, and vader is confident with his new collection, and it ends. enjoying having the boy around, reminding him strangely of him in his youth

luke is ambitious and creative, and ends up learning some things from vader in that time, strangely, a loyalty and mutual respect form between the two

palpatine's manipulations are endless and soon come to the fore — luke ends up meeting obi-wan and learning more about vader and, because of 'a certain point of view', discovers that his father was a stylist and friend of vader, but who had his career destroyed and killed for vader. luke, he was never a vindictive person but the betrayal he feels at that moment is surreal, and he just wants to end his career as a vader on the other side, vader is very familiar and even attached to the boy and orders piett to find out more about him, something telling him to do that; vader has no words to describe how surprised, sad, angry, nervous and happy he feels to know that the boy is his son

vader doesn't tell luke at first, feeling conflicted and keeps it to himself, now luke starts sabotaging vader's clothes and plans, barely noticing that his boss and current secret arch enemy is no longer interested in the parade and seems distracted

at the fundraiser organized by Empire, everything comes to the fore; the secret of Vader's identity, the kinship between luke and vader and the crimes committed by palpatine all while a parade is taking place and sabotage with the alleged crime of vader killing anakin skywalker — and dammit, luke is so confused and scared — and the police are coming and luke has only 20 minutes to reverse everything and not let his father go arrested while his so-called father and kenobi fight at the party as anakin discovers that it was obi-wan who took luke to tatooine

the disaster that was the show will always be remembered in fashion magazines

vader: You could have died

luke: I wasn’t hurt that badly. The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That's where the blood's supposed to be!

When people say Anakin only loves Luke because Luke is Padmé’s son, and the only thing still tying him to her.

No.

Anakin loves Luke because he’s the result of his love for Padmé, yes - but more so, because Luke is all that’s good and gracious and incorruptible.

Luke is everything Anakin is not, and he’s proof even Anakin could do something right. 

In the end, after all Anakin has done there is one thing, one person he cannot drive away. One thing he cannot destroy.

Anakin loves Luke not simply because he’s Padmé’s son, but because he is the perfect amalgamation of both of them. 

Anakin loves Luke because for all his life, he has either lost or destroyed everything he holds dear - and at the end of it all; Luke not only accepts this, he forgives him.

Luke mourns his demise; Luke loves him unconditionally.

Anakin loves Luke not just because he carries a piece of Padmé with him, but because he is the one who took a look at his father’s flaws; brushed them aside and saw what was underneath in his time of need.

Anakin could not let Padmé go, and in the end his selfishness led to her death.

When faced with a similar choice, Anakin instead lays down his own life.

Anakin commits one true act of selflessness for Luke, when he decides his son is worth more than his own life.

This is why Anakin loves Luke; because Luke, as much as he is his mother’s son, he is also Anakin’s son.
