Luke Skywalker Is Gay?
Luke Skywalker Is Gay? is an article that appeared in Slate Magazine in April 2000.[1] It has the subtitle "Fan fiction is America's literature of obsession", which along with the illustration may give the casual reader the impression that all fan fiction is slash.
The article combines a humorous take on the fanfic phenomenon with examining fanfic as a reflection and outgrowth of modern culture. Repeatedly referring to fan fiction as "weird" (because it's "from the 60s"), the sms covers a lot of fannish ground from Mary Sues, crossovers, h/c and other fanfic genres and tropes to virtual seasons, pseudonyms, the RPF taboo, conventions, etc.
A detailed discussion about slash ("the most flamboyant genre and perhaps the weirdest prose in America today") is linked in the sidebar [2] and the article freely links to several slash sites, including a direct link to one of Destina's Star Wars stories. Henry Jenkins' Textual Poachers is referenced to contextualize fan fiction within folk
Mark Hamill was asked if Luke Skywalker is gay. His response was perfect.

Now here he was at the O2, seated among the commoners, with an opportunity to support bring the Genesis story full-circle. Instead, he took the unselfish (if, let’s face it, slightly unsatisfying) route: avoiding the spotlight and letting his former bandmates enjoy the curtain call they’d rightly earned. (“Me going was a rite of passage, really,” the singer told Mojo in 2023. “I’d been part of the creation of Genesis, so I wanted to be there at the end.”)
Here’s the thing, though: A lot of casual fans leave out that Gabriel had already reunited with Genesis for an entire show—it just happened 20 years earlier. Oh, and it occurred not because of rosy nostalgia but due to mounting debt and death threats.
Gabriel staged the inaugural WOMAD (World of Song, Arts, and Dance) in July 1982, with the noble vision of sparking genuine cultural fusion. The three-day event featured British post-punk (Echo and the Bunnymen, Pigbag) and art-rock (Peter Hammill, Robert Fripp), traditional Irish folk (The Chieftains), Indian sitar players (Imrat Khan), Afro-Caribbean
Star Wars | Luke Skywalker’s Lost Queer Potential
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: Episode IV –A New Hope (1977). Proceed with caution.
In 2016, Mark Hamill was interviewed by Britain’s The Star newspaper (don't worry, the link is for Vanity Fair) and suggested that Luke Skywalker was perhaps not as straight as an arrow. He said:
“Fans are writing and request all these questions, ‘I’m bullied in school… I’m afraid to come out’. They say to me, ‘Could Luke be gay?’ I’d say it is meant to be interpreted by the viewer… If you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should not be ashamed of it. Judge Luke by his character, not by who he loves.”
Although this was not a definite approval of the science fiction icon’s sexuality, it offered a sweet endorsement for the many fans who read Luke as lgbtq+, as well as obeying hot in the footsteps of JJ Abrams believing it would be ‘nice’ for the franchise to include non-heterosexual characters.
However, reading Luke as a lgbtq+ character is not new: in fact, since Actor Wars: Episode IV –A New Hope (1977) onwards he has been interpret as anything from asexual to bisexual, and his hero’s journey as a parallel
Luke Skywalker, Gay Icon: Part 1
With Luke Skywalker support in the public mind for, uh, no particular reason, now seems love an opportune time to revisit one of cinema’s most iconic heroes. There’s much to be said about the farm male child from Tatooine. One could argue that Luke upholds false narratives about light male exceptionalism, or conversely that he represents a softer and more kind view of masculinity. As far as I’m concerned, though, two things about Luke Skywalker are unquestionably true. First, he reinvented the classical hero’s journey for the space age. Second, he’s gayer than a basket of Coruscanti jogan fruit.
I would tell “Welcome to my TED Talk,” but apparently my gay Star Wars headcanons don’t meet TED’s highfalutin standards of academic rigor. Instead, I will introduce my humble homosexual argument by walking you through each film with a pair of gay goggles firmly in place. Please note that I’m restricting myself to the Celestial body Wars canon as presented in the films. I won’t be delving into the bottomless Sarlacc pit of comics, novelizations, TV shows, and games because I don’t hate myself. Without further ado, here’s my hot gay accept on Star Wars: A New .
