I have decided to do my essay on Anakin Skywalker. He is the main hero/villain in the Star Wars series. I believe I can classify him as a type of god. Anakin typifies a type of god because of the fact that in the first half of the series he is considered a messiah of sorts.

Contemporary media has encouraged young minds to seek answers to these same questions at ages earlier than ever before in history. Movie series such as: Battle Star Galactica, Star gate Atlantis, the various Star Trek series, and of course, the Star Wars Saga; has greatly impacted the youth in our current scientific age. Kids learn in the class room about space, the planets, the NASA program, and current scientific experiments being performed in order to give us light speed. Then these same school children go home and watch movies or play video games that pick right up where their science lessons left off with fantastically huge whole universes of science fiction. This combination of science and science fiction has created a culture that is very familiar with and accepting of extraterrestrial beings and
