i must start out to say: never before in my life would i think i would watch such a movie.
Star wars turned out to be a great movie about a war of good vs. evil. and yet was much more then that. each character played such a specific role an the movie would most definitely be incomplete without each of them. Luke of course is our protagonist character and represent everything of which is good. on the opposite end we have Darth Vader who is everything that is evil. which is a form of "dichotomy" (if i used that correctly) with the same concept of dichotomy r2d2 and c3po are opposites. r2 is completely computer with no humanistic characteristics and c3 is very human like in appearance and yet not so human in nature
In dichotomy everything is black and white but not all the characters are like that. Solo is definitely a grey character. as well as his friend (the captain?) life is never black and white. when Luke finds out that Vader is his father everything become grey. he though his father was a great person and dead. but wanted to fallow in his foot steps. does he still want to pursue his fathers path? no. but you know what they always say: fruit does fall far from the tree.
So basically technology plays a big roll in this movie. but what about nature? i think Yoda kinda represents nature. with his earthy tones and the fact that he lives in a swamp. he's all about looking within to find ones strength. to find your fears to fight them and overcome them. i guess that's what that force is more about. as apposed to the dark side which is all technology. i wonder if that's trying to say something about the roll technology plays in our lives. we've all heard the pros and cons of technology. but maybe we should look for more "natural" or old school solutions for some of everyday things. (biking rather then driving, writing rather then typing , or natural solutions rather then antibiotics) i think so. perhaps you agree?
