Why Luke Skywalker is White Trash
This is an extension of the Top 10 White Trash Heroes of Cinema from Spike.com. It’s a funny list, and the #1 choice I think is quite accurate.
In addition to the reasons listed on the Spike page, the fine folks at the related Fark page have come up with some great clues that point to Luke really being white trash…
- He lives on a patch of dirt in the middle of nowhere
- He has lots of beat-up vehicles in his front yard
- He’s a greasemonkey
- He makes out with his sister
- He lives with his Aunt and Uncle, ‘cuz his dad killed his mom
- Enjoys shooting [womp]rats for entertainment
- Thinks joining the armed services is the only way off the family farm
- He sells his car to buy a ticket out of town
- His best friend is a wanted felon ( who hooks up with his sister – after they busted her out of prison )
- He joins a nutty religious group
- He almost kills his dad during an argument
- His dad kills his boss in a workplace dispute
- He was friends with a hermit that lived out in the sticks
- Took advice from another hermit that lived in a swamp because he was hiding from the government
Ok, that’s the funniest of the reasons listed on Spike and Fark. If anyone has more good ones, I’ll add them!
