Luke Skywalker + “to Love”

The boops are back people! Boop War 2 has begun!

So I was in a play version of It’s a Wonderful Life and here are some pics of my costumes.

Snippet from chapter 11 of You Are Safe, You Are Home

Luke sighed as he sat planning out his garden while Din sat through council meetings. He hadn’t wanted Din working blindly so he decided to finally start planning out his garden. Ideally he’d like trees in it. Brylark, Dewdrop, Heart Berry, and Willow, specifically.

Brylark because he had a Wookie Padawan already who specifically wanted his lightsaber hilt to be wooden and it would be nice to have access to it for his temple, even at the cost of his own personal garden. Dewdrop because they were pretty and he really liked the fruit on the one occasion he had gotten to try it. Heart Berry in case he didn’t feel like the Dewdrop fruit, and Willow because it was an important part of folklore on Casiey’s home world.

Sadly because they were underground he likely couldn’t have trees in it, so he’d skip them entirely, even if something felt so right about adding trees to it. He supposed he could do two versions, one for if they could grow trees and one without. He'd have to talk to Din about it tonight.

He stretched as he leaned back in his chair. So far he’d planned mostly flowers, some ivy, and ferns. He wanted to add a few herbs here and there, but he wasn’t sure what to add specifically. Maybe some nysillin or twin-scented natterbloom? Behot was originally native to Mandalore; maybe he could plant some in his garden.

Luke sighed. He was getting nowhere with this.

Staring at the hologram of the garden so far he brushed his fingers over the flickering image of Queen's Heart. He had so many other flowers, multiple types of roses, black lilies, bluebell squish, aura blossoms, millaflower, vomur, vanserv, sunburst, sun-dew.

Star flowers would be hard to find now that Alderaan was gone but if anyone could do it it was Din.

So many other flowers he’d added, but he kept bringing himself back to Queen’s Heart, the flower his mother had planted all over Theed when she was Queen.

A choked sob escaped his throat. He wanted his mom right now. Wanted her to hold him and tell him everything was going to be okay. Tell him how she and his father managed to make things work when they had to be separated almost all the time. Maybe give him some tips about ruling an entire planet? He wasn’t sure, he just wanted his mother. Wanted some memory of her or something to keep her with him.

My Mando Luke design for Of Bolts and Buckets Hearts, plus the crest I made for the Skywalker family. I really wanted to put the twin suns of Tatooine on his armor somehow. This is his pre The Mandolorian series design, in between season 2 and BoBF his armor undergoes a design change involving moving them to the side of his helmet.

The colors of Luke’s outfit have meaning and are as follows

Orange: Lust for life

Red: Honoring a parent

Blue: Reliability

Black: Justice

Green: Duty

White: A new start

Based on this TikTok that came up on my fyp about trios (below the cut)
