currently thinking about a luke skywalker who was placed on a pedestal from everyone. the pressures of everyone assuming he would always do the right thing. how much it gets to him. that he feels like he cant make a mistake, he cant ever fuck up.
people are counting on him. the people around him turned him into a symbol

and what kind of symbol could allow darkness to rise again?

and its happened before. to his father. thats his legacy. and luke cant let it happen, he needs to stop it--
and then he sees ben's face.

and the full weight of horror that falls over him, as he realises what he was just about to do. what he almost did.

but he already failed ben.

he failed ben. and leia. and han.

he failed his family, anyway.
and luke skywalker was never allowed to fail, ever. he was a Hero. he was the paragon of the jedi, warrior of the light.

if you are never allowed to fail, you can never come back from failure
