By the age of eight, my parents always told me after the war, they would leave the Jedi order and be a real family. Then that day came, peace talks began; the war came to a close. My parents took me to the Jedi temple to face the Jedi council when the war ended, but…

Dragons are found in a symbolic aspect in Star Wars as were found in the Hobbit. Anakin Skywalker and the Emperor are our metaphorical dragons in this case. In many stories, the character of a dragon usually serves as a metaphor for greed; this is very apparent in the Hobbit through Smaug but is evident in Star Wars as well.
