The best part about Luke Skywalker in my opinion, like the best part of his character, is that he's a good person first and foremost. Like the dude just wants to help and make things better for everyone.
And what I appreciate even more in star wars is that Luke wins exactly because of this. It isn't cuz he is destined to be a super powerful Jedi, it isn't cuz he's a great warrior. He doesn't win via a display of power, he won cuz he was being nice to Vader, and being nice to Vader is what brings Anakin back, it inspires Anakin to do the right thing to save Luke. Dude saves the galaxy because he's a nice guy. That's literally it.
Luke saves the galaxy because he was raised as a good person. The Jedi stuff was just bonus. Sure he's powerful and super force but at the base, what he remains is just a wholesome kid who wants everyone to smile. And that is precisely why he's one of my favourite heroes in all of fiction.
you dont have to be a parent to understand the horror of walking into a room and discovering that the baby crawled out of his baby crib and onto that pottery wheel that you forgot to turn off
and while the baby is spinning around and around, the dog is sitting there all calm, like a person, gently using his paws to fashion the babys soft cartilage head into something a little more modern
it might be the classic tale of bad parenting, but lets see where the dog is going with this
[big crashing sound] Did anyone else hear that!? I think God fell from the Kingdom of Heaven! Come on everyone, let's feast on his corpse until something bad happens!
I don't think they've been fighting the bugs for that long. Part of the satire is that the military is woefully ill-equipped and unprepared for an actual direct confrontation with the "inferior life forms".
They're all "FUCK YEAH STUPID BUGS LET'S KILL EM WITH OUR BIG GUNS" and then obviously that goes pretty poorly for them. Worth noting that by the (terrible) third movie they've got some big-ass mechs that clean up pretty well so in-lore they're not entirely stupid. Just fascists.
You would think that if you fought only giant bugs for hundreds or thousands of years you would make some bug killing weapons and not just use the same human killing weapons we've used for human wars.
Also I would maybe wear some armor that protects against bug stabbings? Just a thought since literally everyone just dies from those
