This Twitter parody imagines what Luke Skywalker's been up to for the past 20 years

Following the shock-baton 'TR-8R' memes and parody of the saddest Sith Lord in the galaxy, Luke Skywalker himself has finally joined Twitter. The @VeryLonelyLuke account shows what the Jedi hero, who appears only briefly in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," has been up to since we last saw him.

Despite 128,000 followers, Hermit Skywalker follows no one. 

Of course. 

Warning: If you haven't seen the film, there are some spoilers ahead.

 

The account assumes Skywalker has lived on the deserted island where we find our hero at the end of "The Force Awakens" for 20 years. It perfectly captures how incredibly lonely Luke must have been until Rey showed up.

 

 

Luckily, Luke has had time to reflect on the events of the original trilogy. He's over it. Mostly. 

 

 

The parody also covers Luke's rocky relationship with his nephew, Kylo Ren. Apparently, the two have a longstanding feud. 

 

 

We'll see if Luke reunites with his family Leia, Rey and Kylo when Episode VIII is released in 2017.
