Yoda theory + tentative Lucyfic idea
Jun. 5th, 2011 08:38 amFanwank of the day:
When Luke decides to abandon his training and run off to Cloud City, Yoda famously warns him that if he goes, he will end up destroying all for which they have fought and suffered. This is one of the fandom's Great Conundrums, since -- as we all know -- Leia & Co were only able to escape because R2-D2 fixed the hyperdrive, and Artoo was only there because Luke brought him along. So Luke going to Cloud City indirectly saved his friends.
Moreover, Luke's confrontation with Vader (however psychologically scarring!) is what gives him the opportunity to sense the good in him, and Vader's "if you don't join me, I'll have to destroy you ... in a minute ... another minute ... wait, come back!" makes it KIND OF SUPER OBVIOUS. So if you think about it, Luke going to Cloud City led to his determination to save his father which led to the Emperor's death and the downfall of the Empire.
... Um. That leaves us with the immortal question of Yoda, what were you thinking?
( This is what. )
