How boring. And stupid.
Lucasfilm has added another retcon to the Star Wars saga, and it is almost as bad and stupid as George Lucas changing the fact that Han Solo shot first in the Tatooine tavern.
Luke Skywalker is gay. Canonically, as they say–means that Disney has officially endorsed the claim that the iconic character is gay.
In 1977 this would have been a stunning and brave revelation. Today it is dull and silly. A concession to the nutty idea that films should have “representation” for every variation of the human experience.
The idea has been floating out there for a while, but it gained prominence when the Star Wars Wiki officially listed Luke as an LGBTQ+ character. This generated conversation, and apparently, the judgment was based upon a short story released by Lucasfilm. Ol’ Luke himself, Mark Hamil, has endorsed the idea and it is now considered to be officially true.
Luke Skywalker is now LGBTQ+ according to Star Wars community, Mark Hamill

The Post Millennial did a deep dive into the subject so I don’t have to. Go read their story to get the scoop on the whole drama and a flavor for the celebrations being held among the alphabet people. The retcon in itself is just a tedious reminder of how silly the whole rewriting of our culture to fit the woke agenda has eroded our cultural mythos.
The real irony is that Lucasfilm turned Luke Skywalker into a truly pathetic character over the years, to elevate their chosen “Mary Sue” named Rey, a female who is superior to him in every way. Luke became a pathetic old man living alone on an island, drinking blue milk from disgusting space cows, while Rey bests him in everything.
As we all know, a male–even a gay male–is inferior to strong, brave, hypercompetent women, who are in turn inferior to transwomen, especially if they are minorities. The intersectional hierarchy demands it, so turning Luke Skywalker into a pathetic gay man is a huge step down from the original kinda whiny Luke Skywalker who was always the least interesting of the main characters in Star Wars, played by the least competent of the original cast’s actors.
I’d take Han Solo anytime, and Leia in her slave suit every single time!
Still, Luke was a great character, if Hamill wasn’t quite up to the task of embodying him. Lucasfilm systematically destroyed him to create what the Critical Drinker (NSFW) called “diverse female Space Jesus”
If you have time, watch the whole thing. If not, at least watch his take on how the character of Luke was destroyed by the final trilogy.
Disney has been on a mission to not only rewrite the entire canon of Star Wars, or the Disney film library, but of our culture itself. Their goal is to propagandize to children their version of what society should look like. And that future they are trying to create is a utopia where everybody has a letter in the alphabet of oppression.
At least for Disney, it’s not working. They are trying so hard to accomplish this task that they are churning out tedious movies and TV shows, and the audience shrugs and moves on. Ron DeSantis is vanquishing them by shining a light on their idiocy. They made a mistake taking him on. Just look at their stock price!
So should anybody care that Luke now has his own letter on the great alphabet of oppression?
I would if I were a gay man. I’d be pissed. I would want nothing to do with that grouchy, incompetent old hermit.
That goes counter to how he acted in the first movie. Seemed to have a crush on Leia.
I saw the first one and sequels way back when.
He wasn’t homosexual.
M-I-C-K-E-Y can go straight to Hell!
The first Star Wars movie has awkward scenes with Luke and Han both trying to attract Princess Leia. Of course, since she turns out to be Luke’s sister, Han eventually gets the girl. But, there is no doubt that Luke wanted the girl.
In 1977 it would have been widely and rightly rejected as repulsive, disgusting, and evil ... and would have killed the whole business. Back then, we all knew that faggotry is wrong.
having a crush on your sister and then having your father cut your hand off, can have a devastating effect on your masculinity, apparently.
Oh come on how ridiculous. Luke had a crush on Princess Leia in the first episode before he found out she was his sister.
I don’t believe Luke Skywalker is gay. I’ve always had my suspicions about Mark Hamill, though.
Star Whores
“I see your Schwartz is as long as mine.”
This is what the globohomos are fighting for folks. To groom your kids.
Ya I pegged him more as a guy who would go after his sister
My guess is it flops now too for the same reason.
🎈🤡
one of my friends smoked a lot of weed with Mark back in the day.
never heard anything about blue milk
But didn’t know that at the time!
Go woke, go broke.
You haven't heard? Princess Leia is trans.
