I think part of what makes Zuko so effective is that it is also completely established that his father is not redeemable. Often times when a villain is redeemed it is against some force of nature, which pushes this narrative that everyone can be redeemed. It makes the redemption story that much more powerful.

He doesn’t want Grogu to be distracted by attachments and, at the end of the episode, presents Grogu with a choice: Mandalorian armor or a lightsaber. Yoda’s lightsaber, in fact. Luke is telling Grogu he can train as a Jedi, or be with his father figure, but not both.

I meant to say “environmentally-UNfriendly” but Kinja’d it.

pretty sure ship breaking is not environmentally friendly. thats why there are only a couple of locations around the world and most are in underdeveloped nations where there is no thought given to the consequences of pollution

“I want to reach a personal achievement for myself” <> “I want to stop someone else from reaching their goals.”

There’s a difference between chest-beating and teabagging.

Ah yes! The triumphant return of Captain Appa!
