Though comrades were we in full many wars, Though friends we have been once, the past is gone And all is but a horrid memory. Today my hopes shall be achieve when I Strike down the vile betrayer of my youth. This conflict shall fulfill my destiny, And end for him in bleak eternity." That is explaining how vader is saying he will have great power if he can conquer obi-wan. Vader and obi-wan have hate between each other causing passion till one of them is finally dead.

Death is final, there is not much you can prepare for. Vader and Tarkin have a conversation, " VADER: tell thee: Obi-Wan is here, now, and surely with him is the Force. TARKIN: If thou art right, he must not be allowed This station to escape. Nay, never, nay! VADER: Escape is not his plan."

    Thelma and Louise, a film by Carolyn Ann Khouri, trails the liberations of two working class women in the 90’s. These women plan a weekend away from the men in their lives due to the fact that Thelma’s husband is a misogynistic man who feels that a woman’s job consists only of housework and cooking.
