![]() The heroic Han Solo then must risk his life during an ice storm on an ice planet in order to save Luke. This embarrassing attempt at patrolling (and patrolling for what I might ask) lead to the pointless death of a completely innocent tauntaun. First, he displays an incredible lack of self awareness and lets a massive wampa get within two feet of him before noticing. The Empire Strikes Back is one of the best movies ever made, yet it’s almost hard to describe just how incredibly useless Luke is in it. He Almost Gets Han Solo Killed and then Fails to Save Him No, the emperor was going down with the Death Star Grand Moff Tarkin-style with or without Luke Darth Vader’s help. ![]() Remember, this is the same Emperor who confidently proclaimed the Death Star’s shield generator was untouchable because it was defended by “An entire legion of my best troops.” This, I should note, is the same “legion” that would be ruthlessly massacred by a bunch of teddy bears with Toys-R-Us bows and arrows. Luke may not have accomplished anything in Return of the Jedi, but he did rightly point out that “overconfidence” was the Emperor’s greatest weakness. But it should be pointed out that the Death Star blew up like maybe 10 minutes after that happened.Īhh, but maybe the Emperor would have escaped! Unlikely bordering on without a chance. The Emperor was actually electrocuting his ass until Luke’s deadbeat father felt bad enough for his pathetic son to throw the Emperor down a space well. Well, for starters, Luke doesn’t even kill the Emperor. You’ll notice Luke’s name is conspicuously absent. Han, Leia and Chewie destroyed the shield generator and then Lando Calrissian and Wedge Antilles took out the Death Star. Well, the rebel fleet crippled the imperial fleet. The big threats to the galaxy in the second and third films are the Imperial fleet, the second Death Star and the Emperor. The Emperor Would Have Been Blown Up Either Way How can that be you ask? Well let me list the ways: 1. ![]() And the horrible truth is that after Leia gives Luke his medal at the Rebel’s Nuremberg rally that concludes the first film (I have personally excommunicated the prequels from Star Wars cannon) he has nothing left to contribute other than his vain and selfish quest to become a Jedi. He saved, the day, got his sister, and all is made right.īut the Star Wars trilogy is just that, a trilogy. There’s no question that he was the hero in A New Hope and the galaxy would have caved to intergalactic tyranny if not for him. ![]() OK, Luke blew up the blew up the Death Star, well the first Death Star. ![]()
