Character Role Analysis

Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader

Luke and Vader are both filled to the gills with the Force, but to say that they have different ideas on how to wield such an awesome power would be an understatement the size of Jabba the Hutt.

Luke uses the Force for good, putting his faith in his friends and resorting to violence only when he has to. Darth Vader, on the other hand, is the towering poster boy for the Dark Side. His rise through the Empire's ranks is fueled by intimidation, aggression, and fear. It's little wonder why, when these two go head-to-head with their opposing worldviews, pitting good vs. evil, the fate of the entire galaxy hangs in the balance.
