was with many other fans, which is great! If I did look up to him, then I don’t remember it. I don’t hate his character; I just never found him emotionally resonant with me as one. Throughout my life, I only ever heard the fandom’s opinion of him where they generally (2/)

I never felt and resonated with before. I don’t know if I’ll truly connect with Luke the way I have with Yoda or Cal Kestis. But if we get more scenes like this and I marinate on them in my own time, that might change. (4/4)
