I am not a fan of expanded universes generally and the SW ones in particular, but otoh … I absolutely love the idea from Splinter of the Mind’s Eye that Luke was so incredibly bored on Tatooine that he downloaded Space Duolingo and learned a bunch of languages for the hell of it.

#i mean. i headcanon that he was brought up bilingual anyway #but that aside i'm genuinely delighted with the idea of luke getting so bored and irritated that he was like #running through huttish conjugations in his head #owen: *lecturing about the importance of hard work and discipline* #luke: wait blast it that one's irregular #OBVIOUSLY it has......other issues but i do like that detail #sweu critical #but not really! #on this one special occasion!

I love this! It wants to be the beginning of a very language-focused fic ;)

I have written language-focused Luke fic, though not with the Space Duolingo element, lmao. Someday, perhaps!
