“I’ve heard a rumour that Luke is wearing Vader’s Kyber Crystal around his neck, and the recent release of the Pop figure images seem to confirm that. So, a spare hour and I’ve created a little piece of fan art…” – Carl Milner.
“A big part of Rey’s future will be uncovering her own past: Who is connected to her? Where did she come from? And why was she cast away?
As she tries to pick up her own pieces, she may find they fit together well with the remnants of Luke Skywalker. Working together, they may become whole again.” (x)
So since Mark Hamill is the king of voicing amazing evil characters, I have the headcanon that after the Battle of Endor part of Luke’s job for the alliance was making voice calls to various moffs and other ranking imperials pretending to be a recording of the Emperor saying THEY were in charge of the Empire if he died and letting the infighting speed up the imperial collapse.
Luke: Urgh, Leia, do I really have to do this?
Leia: I’m sorry Luke, you’re just too good at sounding evil.
Luke: Fiiiiine. *puts on incredibly evil voice* Hello, Grand Moff…
Han: *whispers* That is just freaky.
Chewie: *nods*
This is the best headcanon I’ve ever heard in my life
I’d really love to know what the hell Vader was thinking during that pregnant pause after he asks Luke to join him in Empire because Luke just kind of stares at him, says nothing, and then just… falls? Leaving Vader there looking like a total idiot but also wondering what the hell does Luke even think he’s doing?! Only Clone Wars Anakin could have been that extra, all “I’d rather fall into an unfathomable abyss than finish this conversation with you” is such a Skywalker move, so the only thing I imagine Vader really thinking is “Well, he definitely gets that from me.”
‘When my father left, did he tell Uncle Owen that he was gonna come back?’ Beru frowned slightly, then said, ‘Oh, Luke. You know it’s best not to wonder about such things.’ ‘But did he?’ She shook her head. ‘No,’ she said. ‘He didn’t. He didn’t say anything. He just left.’ Luke bit his lower lip, then said, ‘I’d never do that. Leave without saying good-bye, I mean.’ Beru smiled. ‘I know you wonldn’t.’ (The Life of Luke Skywalker by Ryder Windham)
