@Rigel - Your argume...@Lexcade - Much appreciated!<br /><br />@Rigel - Your arguments are incredibly well thought out, interesting and effectively negate most of the points we raised, and are therefore completely and utterly wrong.<br /><br />Remember Rigel, he who owns the Death Star writes the history books.Robbie Bolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849871714554566527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977181502625359383.post-68305207915106911682011-10-27T11:48:50.024-07:002011-10-27T11:48:50.024-07:00To put things in perspective.

Sure, Luke may have had relations that were priveleged royalty, but reality is that his Queen Mother died in labor and both he and his sister were separated and he was placed in the care of his "uncle and aunt" to whom he had no blood relations. Owen's father OWNED Luke's paternal grandmother, therefore making Luke something of an indentured servant to the Lars family. <br /><br />Luke had no access to wealth or even a standard school education; that would only add to his debt to the Lars family. All he knew was repairing vaporators, eradicating vermin, keeping hostile locals off the property and maintaining machinery that was secondhand-purchased from nomadic traders. He was sometimes allowed to drive the Lars family speeder (which was an older model for which there was no longer any demand) to attend to farm business.<br /><br />Luke needed to stay on the farm after his freedom had been earned to have enough to go to the Imperial Academy, like his friends, possibly actual SONS of farmers. He would have followed that path to becoming a productive member of society and most likely forgetting his grudge toward the totalitarian regime. <br /><br />Only after his caretakers had been murdered had he become radicalized. He was met with a charismatic cleric who bestowed upon him a lightsaber, which he claimed was willed to him by his dead father (the guy probably kept a chest full of these things to give to neophytes.) But what good is a lightsaber? It affords one no access to anything, except probably a FINE for possessing an unregistered weapon; that was only a trinket to entice him into following said charismatic cleric to join a cult whose sun was setting.<br /><br />Which brings Luke to getting indoctrinated into a terrorist organization, training camp (where he learned how to construct his own lightsaber,) and then making on his own assassination attempt on an ELECTED head of state. <br /><br />All these things could have been avoided had the EMPIRE enacted a HEARTS & MINDS campaign to work with locals to resolve disputes, rather than a SCORCHED EARTH policy. Had the Lars couple been allowed to cooperate to return the droids to the authorities, Luke would have finished another season at the farm to earn his way to the Imperial Academy, trained to be a space pilot and made a contribution to society by joining the Imperial Navy or flying freighters full of materials, goods or passengers and probably never even seeing a lightsaber.Rigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253389198788603490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977181502625359383.post-85268754313070673332011-10-27T10:30:44.655-07:002011-10-27T10:30:44.655-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253389198788603490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4977181502625359383.post-73319148529667040722011-10-27T08:13:37.550-07:002011-10-27T08:13:37.550-07:00I love these posts!
