Luke Compels People With The Force A Few Times But Din Never Notices It's A Force Thing, He Just Thinks

Luke compels people with the force a few times but Din never notices it's a force thing, he just thinks it's common sense that people do whatever Luke wants if he smiles a little and speaks softly

I’m a pacifist like institutionally but I’m absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don’t believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust

God but imagine Luke teaching little kids like-

Luke, who knows exactly where all of his gremlins are even when they’re multiple star systems away: “Oh noooo! I lost the baby! Where oh where could the baby be?”

Small child, clinging to his back like a tiny opossum and giggling like a mad man: >:D

Luke: “Oh dear, oh no, if I can’t find the baby, I’ll have to call Leia in to help-“

Small child, remembering that Leia actually makes them do all ten minutes of their meditation practice and doesn’t pretend not to notice if they leave like Luke does: “I’m here!”

Luke: “Ah! You scared me! You worried me, too, what if you were lost forever?”

Like, Luke being like a cat. You know how cats pretend not to notice their babies hunting them and overact being shocked? That’s Luke.

AAAAAAAAAH

What I should have drawn on the kiss day but late🥲

Au where luke naberrie is taken hostage by the empire to ensure naboo's loyalty. But it's not like he's tortured or mistreated, he's treated like a guest, he just can't.. leave, that's all.

Vader knows Luke is his son because of that last name, but luke doesn't know. And luke's a lil bit scared of vader at first because Darth Vader, holy kriff, but vader's generally nice to him and gives him gifts so Luke's like... he's not that bad I guess? Vader comes over whenever he has free time and luke's like oh hey lord Vader wanna hear some court gossip

But Vader's been planning to commit treason and dethrone palpatine, just like he did in rots. He doesn't have any intention to rule himself, he's more likely to pledge loyalty to someone he trusts and follow them to hell, like he wanted to do with padme. So vader, knowing that luke is his son, knowing that luke is a good kid - one day just. Kills palpatine and presents his decapitated head to luke. And luke, obviously, is like what the FUCK lord Vader.

While luke did want palpatine dead he's disgusted by the way vader shows his affections. It's like - luke is a normal person who grew up with a normal family, whereas vader's been in a master-slave dynamic for 20 years and also didn't really have good healthy attachments even before then, so the way he acts towards someone he loves is just like a cat bringing back dead birds to their owner. Except in this case, it's bringing back annoying imp's heads to present to luke.

So luke's like ok. Ok. Calm down. Lord vader's a bit crazy in the head but I can use this. But after a few months he realizes that vader will only obey him in a way he wants to, if vader thinks it'll be 'detrimental' to luke's happiness he'll go behind his back. And since vader still firmly believes in the empire and all that stuff, and because his way of love is off, there emerges an irreconcilable gap between them - and eventually luke decides to pack up his followers and leave to the rebellion.

But Vader catches him before he can go! But vader looks so. sad? He looks so sad and broken and tired and is like why are you leaving I thought we were doing so well.

And luke's the one who flips out and goes well if you actually listened to me instead of bringing back heads and spoils of war, I'd maybe listen to you! And vader does the father reveal then, being like as your father I have the responsibility to protect you- and luke's brain just grinds to a halt and is like wait. Wait. Wait. And vader's looking suspiciously like a kicked puppy rn and also he's flashing back to all the times they laughed together and Luke's like ugh FINE you come aboard the escape shuttle too. And they join the rebellion together and Luke teaches him how to be a normal person
