Current Events > Not a lot of Star Wars media explores Luke's upbringing and his relationship...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru

The people raised him and we got nothing on them.


---

They were part of a sex cult. We don't focus on that stuff anymore.

---

Wasn't his upbringing supposed to be boring and uneventful though
---

He's supposed to be a nobody from a literal wasteland. Not having an interesting background is kind of the point.

---

Just watch American Graffiti. Apparently early/test viewers made fun of deleted scenes showing more of Luke's/Tatooine's daily life by calling it "American Graffiti in space" >_>

---

His adoptive parents would have wanted to keep him under a low profile growing up. So I bet he didn't get into much exciting stuff until we see him in A New Hope

Owen liked butt stuff

Even if it's boring and uneventful they still had a family relationship and the way they raised him would impact him in a lot of ways

Just odd that given the nauseating amount of detail the rest of the franchise has that there was never much developed here

I always thought it was hilarious how Luke is all like, "Well, damn. That sucks," when his aunt and uncle get murdered but he's all like, "NOOOOO UNCLE BEN!!!" when he dies. Like, you knew him for all of a few days for god's sake. Your aunt and uncle pretty much raised you. lol

He was still mad about the power converterrrrs

To be fair if my foster parents were boring ass farmers that wanted me to be a boring ass farmer, and Ben Kenobi told me my daddy was a legendary space wizard and taught me how to also be a powerful space wizard, I think I know which one I'd love more
