Hero Qualities and Theme Possibilities

Hero Qualities:
A hero would be someone with courage, bravery, knowledge, leadership, dedication, who is self-less, is a representative of society, and is a religious or god-directed person. They would be the type of person to give (sacrifice) their life for another. Also, a hero is not only one of these qualities, but can also be one who shows their heroics through maturity. Like, Luke showed that he was a hero not only because he blew up the space station, but also because he realized his strength psychologically through believing in the force and its good through his teachings.

Theme Possibilities:
Good vs. Evil is the main theme of this story. Obviously, there is that struggle there between the dark side of the force and the good. That shows, like many stories, that there is always that conflict of characters and need for it due to clashing views (just like in reality we have our set of many clashing views). The theme that the bad guy wants to take over the world. Darth Vader wants power and although power is one of our psychological needs, one does not need the power Anikan/Vader yearned for. Also, the theme of love. In Starwars there is the brother-sister love, affection love, love for country, father-son love, and others. Luke and Leia had the brother-sister love. Affection love was shown in episode III. Anikan wanted that power (even though it was the wrong power) for his love, Padme Amidala. Even when he became Darth Vader he still showed his love for her. He did so when one of the first things he said was where is Padme? Is she okay? Another is love of country was a little different because they did not exactly live in a country. They had love of their homes and the place where their homes were. Also, a big one was father-son love. It took Vader a while to realize and come back to knowing Luke was his son, but once he did there was only love shown. Luke knew all along that there was good in him and I believe that it was the love that they and Leia still had in their hearts that brought him to realize and come back to the good side.
