Excerpt

"After having read so much anti-Luke material I felt compelled to take a long hard look at the issue. I came to SW fandom as a fan of both Han and Luke, but after reading so much derogatory sentiment towards Luke. I started to be more critical in my viewing of his actions. My own opinion is that much of this anti-Luke theory does not hold up under close observation. Since there are so many topics that the anti-Luke theory touches on, I have chosen to address myself to one issue in this article, Luke's responsibilities and the manner in which he handles them. I will take a point by point look at what we see on the screen, which are the facts, and then give my interpretation and explanation of what has happened from my point of view. I will also give alternate actions to each of the situations."
