QPP 037 - Luke's Heroics

Welcome back to the only Star Wars podcast that you may find is full of surprises. Amy Kamerman and Jay Vandommele (of Nerdful Things) join Chris to settle a debate that spawned from an audience question at our London Comic Con panel last October: is Luke Skywalker a hero? Or rather, is he the hero everyone thinks he is? To explore this, we must also explore what makes a hero, as well as the shifting definitions of what a Jedi is. Is Luke's legacy misunderstood? How does he compare to his father, and his nephew? How did Lucas' perspectives shape and change his hero? How do we reconcile the difference between Original Trilogy Luke, and Sequel Trilogy Luke? How do our generational differences change this debate? More importantly, will Amy and Jay's friendship survive?!
