This is a tragic character that fell from grace, and as the series goes on, we see just how deep and complex this character really is. The look and design of his costume, combined with sharp voice acting of James Earl Jones allows him to steal every scene with ease, but as the film goes on, we learn that there’s more to him than just a threat that our hero’s have to stop. Mush like the “ The Lord of the Rings” series, I always admired “ Star Wars” for incorporating thoughtful biblical references into its storytelling, without preaching a message to the audience.ĭarth Vader of course is the franchises iconic leading villain, and obviously one of the greatest villains of all time. The spiritual element of the film is simply referred to as “the Force”, and it’s like a combination of something magical, but also religious. This is demonstrated best at the very end of the film when our hero has to make a choice to either rely on technology or faith, and it’s his faith is something spiritual that ultimately saves the day. Yet, though the very subtle actions of those with faith, we see that their truly the ones with more power than those with all the big weapons and machines. We see those who believe in both technology and weapons as the dominate force in the galaxy, while those people of faith are being reduced to an extinct species.

The overarching theme of this first Star Wars movie is faith versus secularism. That’s obviously the clip note version, and the story gets more detailed with other characters, as well as a final mission to destroy a planet killing weapon called the Death Star.Įxplaining every detail of the plot isn’t important anyway, what matters is the substance of the experience. He also makes friends with a wanted smuggler, and rounding up the team are two droids who act as the figurative herald, setting our hero on his path. Along the way he’s guided by a wise old master who teaches him about the sacred and mystical ways of the universe. When a princess is captured by an evil empire, a regular young farm boy named Luke Skywalker suddenly finds himself going on a quest to rescue her, and help a band of Rebels in their efforts to free the galaxy from the grip of the empire, and their wicked general Darth Vader. It’s basically a classic fantasy adventure that just happens to be set in outer-space. Obviously, I know everyone has a different child hood, so I’ll try to sum this up for anyone else. chances are, you’ve already had your own nostalgic experience's watching this movie at a young age. The joy of seeing this film as a kid is something that I could never do justice, but then again, I probably don’t need to.
