Q: What is
Luke?
A: Luke is a
parody of Star Wars. But it isn’t silly. It is crime story with bits of dark
humor in same vein as Elmore Leonard or Carl Hiaasen. Parodies don’t have to be
goofy. What parodies do is make a statement about the source material.
Q: What are
you saying about Star Wars then?
A: I’m
saying this is the modern worlds Odyssey and Luke is our Ulysses. He is the
hero who takes the journey and arrives at his destination a changed man, a
hero, scarred, wiser but better than he was.
