The Star Wars Trilogy's are my favorite movies of all time. The most intriguing character was Annikan Skywalker who inevitably became known as Darth Vader. He was manipulated into joining the dark side of the force. What I noticed most was that it was his greed for power and unwillingness to except certain truths like death that was his undoing. He made his weakness known to the emperor and got pimped out like a street whore and soon sold his soul to the devil by betraying his friends and himself. I found this to be one of the greatest good versus evil movies ever made.
I relate to this movie and the character very well. I was once manipulated into joining a dark side better known as gangs and drugs. My greed and weaknesses were the same. And so was my fall. The ungodly spirits that are roaming the world looking for people to devour like a roaring lion found me just like it did with Annikan. The only difference between Annikan and I is that I got out of the game before death or life in prison could engulf me like so many that I've acquainted in my lifetime.
