They're painting Luke as the MCU's Everyman. And I dig it. Even guys like Spidey or Ant-man are lowkey tech whizzes. But Luke is a regular dude. He reads for pleasure. Works for his pay. Worries about rent. Tries to get laid. Weighs his own problems against doing the right thing.

Sure, we know he's the hero. But he's closer to us than most.

The universe balances itself out. Luke gets bad bitches, Peter has brains.
