The Tragedy of Darth Vader: A Continuation of “How to ‘Read’ Star Wars”
$15.00
“You refer to the prophecy of the one who will bring balance to the Force. You believe it’s this boy?”
During the production of the original Star Wars series, writer/director George Lucas conceived of a score of other films about the mythological beginnings of his 20th century medieval romance, chronicling the origins of the villainous Darth Vader and his fall from grace as a great knight. Almost a decade after the conclusion of the original stories, Lucas once again put pen to paper to further the Star Wars storyline. This new trilogy would once again contain fairy tale and medieval romance elements like its predecessor, but would also be imbued with allusions to classic film noir, Greek drama, and so much more.
Now that the dust has settled on these polarizing prequel films, we can uncover the deep literary and filmic references laid before us in Episodes I-III, and look at these twin trilogies as reflections of each other in the greater Star Wars saga.
