In Star Wars, the dragon is the dark side: primarily, Anakin and the Emperor. The dark side and its main leaders may appear grotesque and malicious but in fact, it is just…

In both Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith several characters speak of Anakin’s special status. Both Qui-Gon Jin (a respected high level master Jedi) and Obi-Wan Kenobi…

In literature, archetypal characters are the “typical character patterns” you see. In Star Wars: A New Hope, you can clearly see these patterns. The main…
