Now I’m alert to it, though, I see that fic authors are really into Luke’s lovely yellow jacket at the end of A New Hope, and take it as very significant. This is the only author I’ve seen who’s as into the black T-shirt underneath, though.

Do I want to read this? I'm still recovering from the fracas about deadnaming Darth Vader.

No, it was very bad, and not really in an entertaining way.

This one was better and more fun. https://archiveofourown.org/works/47421796/chapters/119498773

But the whole “Luke’s lovely yellow jacket” thing is just me now noticing that lots of fic writers put in some mention of it, and assume significance. In the one I link here, for example, they assume it’s a gift from Han. In other fics, they put in some reference to it being ‘dead man’s clothes’ from a dead rebel, because Luke only had the one set of clothes plus a flightsuit. Or Leia gives it to him, to look joyful for the ceremony. I suppose it is very different to any other clothes we see him pick.

I'm so surprised but I used to not hang out on the OT side of the fandom much minus reading some stuff like uh frodogenic and Kenya Starflight back in the day.

The fact that fandom fixates on Luke's jacket is 100% such a fandom thing it makes me laugh. Thanks for the fic nona. Will be fun to read.
