I mean, Luke lives on Tattooine. EVERYTHING is a piece of junk there, and everything looks battered and ugly and is probably jury-rigged to hell and back underneath. Not to mention that if he’s only been as far as Anchorhead before (dunno ‘bout this, but Obi-Wan introduced Mos Eisley like Luke had never been there before, and the Lars family budget is unlikely to support vacation trips), and then only on fairly rare occasions, he’s not too likely to have seen many spaceships. (Also, this is the same ship that Han Solo saw on a sales lot and FELL IN LOVE WITH AT FIRST SIGHT, in probably not much better condition, and he’s an actual for-a-fucking-living pilot.) It just seems like he’s the wrong character to make that observation and they just had him say it because somebody had to. Leia’s “You came here in that? You’re braver than I thought.” had more realism to it, because she’s both more familiar with starships than Luke, having lived around them and traveled in them all her life, and also, being royalty and a senator, presumably has been living with higher standards. Granted, they really didn’t have anyone else to make that comment. Luke’s got the mouth for it, at least. C-3PO doesn’t. Theory: Luke’s been dreaming about the grand adventure that will whisk him off Tattooine all his life. Said dream probably involves the kind of shiny, impressive-looking spacecraft that Leia’s more used to. So when Luke sees the Falcon for the first time and it just looks like the same jury-rigged junk heaps he grew up around, it hits him hard enough to shatter some of that long-cherished dream. Hence the outburst. Remember that Luke was all raring to go and join the Imperial Academy before Artoo and Threepio came into his life, and his expectations were probably based on Imperial propaganda of bright and shiny Star Destroyers. He and his friends probably hung around at Tosche Station oohing and ahhing over promotional materials that advertised all the amazing spacefaring technology they could expect to work with. Also, Han had been really piling it on about how great the Falcon was while they were in the cantina. And given how much Han loves the Falcon, you can be sure he was building her up even more on the way over to the hanger. I’m pretty sure that if in Empire, the Falcon suddenly turned into a flesh and blood woman, Han would have forgotten all about Leia and married Human!Falcon. -- source link
