Lukes Inner voice

[JADE Light (Skywalker)]

I wanted to get an idea of what you thought .......

Everyone knows the famous scene of Luke putting his foot upon a tiny hill so that he can gaze at the TWIN suns.....
This was symbolic... yet Lucas never told us straight out what it was symbolic of.

What do you Imagine Luke was thinking or more to the point what do you think he was sensing, feeling or being pulled to.
It is obvious that he is being pulled away
from the farm.. because of the conversation he has
with his step parents..... Yet.... what is it??

BEFORE the Prequels and ep3 I used to imagine that it was his father and him as the two Suns in the sky... that they were alike in so many ways and needed eachother.. both needed to glow with Light and that Luke felt called to help his father... deep within.

Then I heard others say that it was his Twin that he sensed.. somewhere out there he could feel Leia and that pulled him to leave the farm and go searching for something he could not define.

After episode 3 I had to think again.

Once Obiwan gives Luke to Beru she says nothing.. and Obiwan makes some sort of sign like a blessing....
They take Luke to that SAME little hill and they gaze into those suns right at that point in the sky and think on their future most likely.....

So now... things change. Does Luke maybe sense that the end of his life with the Lars family will be ending soon? Does he sense a future that he cannot escape and maybe he is nervous and excited? OR is it still the same sense that he had or we felt he had in the trilogy era?

Yes it is a little philosophical but so is the whole movie.

What do YOU Imagine is in his mind?

Personally
I still stick to the idea that he
feels his fathers pain and the pain of
the galaxy just as all Jedi do... the ripples in the
force... and that he knows there is SOMETHING that
he is a part of that someone is waiting for him.
At this point Anakin has known of him and has waited
as a slave to sidious for nearly 20years... so it is entirely
possible that he could have been thinking of his son
at that same time.... and luke just was not trained to
recieve that call........... that is just my imagination...
it is what I see when I see that part.

......................what about you?

while some of your theory might hold true, I think youre reading into it too much.

in the novelization of ANH, it starts with Luke looking into the sky with his binoculars and seeing what he believes is a "space battle" (which turns out to be the Tantive IV being attacked and boarded by Vader's Star Destroyer) This is why Luke is on the hill staring off into space...besides his constant daydreaming of getting off of Tatooine.
