Is it weird to anyone else that Luke was basically a sociopath child, shooting innocent womprats for fun, and that killing plus using the Force is why he hit the exhaust port?
I’ve always assumed that womp rats, being roughly 2 meters long, were intended as a kind of R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) and are presumably equally aggressive and dangerous.
I realize it’s a stretch, but it’s been stuck in my head canon since I first saw Star Wars.
I would assume a womp rat is some sort of pest and killing them is beneficial to the community. He might even have gotten paid a bounty, like my friends and I did for shooting squirrels for local farmers.
I mean, he also says they are not much bigger than 2 meters. 2 meters is like 6 feet. That’s a huge fuckin’ rat.

Oh no, that makes total sense.
Can we make it head cannon that womp rats actually just are ROUSes in the same way that humans are in both? I’m just gonna go with that.
It’s actual canon

He was a farm boy. They were probably considered pests, and if allowed to multiply would have sorely impacted his crop of…moisture
Wookieepedia lists them as pests
Maybe they juiced them? For moisture? Or vaporized them to release moisture into the air?
I bet they’re full of moisture!
How do we know he didn’t eat them?
