In 2005, George Lucas had simply completed making “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith,” the tenth movie within the sequence (if one counts the Vacation Particular, two Ewok-centric movies from the mid-Eighties, and an animated “Droids” TV film). In Episodes I, II, and III, audiences met a younger character named Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd as a boy, Hayden Christensen as a younger man); the particular person destined to develop into Darth Vader. Quite a lot of time and vitality went into zeroing in on Anakin’s plight, in addition to the precise circumstances that will trigger him to develop into a sci-fi wizard villain in a respiration masks. It was additionally implied within the prequels that Anakin was born of a virgin start, and that he was born with an enormous capability for Pressure-based superpowers.

However it’s additionally about Princess Leia and her wrestle to reestablish the Republic, which is what her mom was doing. So it is actually about moms and daughters and fathers and sons.”
