The core of the Star Wars saga is an age-old tale: The battle between good and evil. It’s seen in Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader, the rebels vs. the Empire, and Rey vs. Kylo Ren. But the real battle, according to Star Wars creator George Lucas, is much more personal. It’s the struggle of good vs. evil that’s waged inside every character in the galaxy. Almost everyone in Star Wars walks a tightrope on the journey of self-discovery, battling themselves as they battle opposing forces, attempting to figure out who they really are. This is the essence of Star Wars: There is self-interest and there is selfishness. There is compassion and there is mercilessness. There is good and there is evil. The fight between those opposing forces makes for a fascinating journey. And the struggle is real.
