star wars – called the “story of darth vader” by lucas is certainly about humanity. We see darth vader as a innocent boy. a lot of bad stuff happens in his life and he develops flaws – like we all do. A devious, manipulative man plays on these flaws for his own advantedge. because of this anakin turns to darth vader. years go by and vaders son luke fights a war against the empire vader serves. this causes vader to question his loyaltys. but he is so far in the evil, he sees know way out. his conscience and his pragmatism battle it out, until at the defining moment of the war he acts againts evil and sacrifices himself to kill the emperor. He pleads with luke to forgive him, and he is forgiven.

A young boy turned to evil by his surroundings, the struggle within him between good and evil, and his redemption and forgiveness – how the hell is that not a human story????
