"The purity ends with "Empire." The planets stay pure (desert, ice, swamp, forest), but light (Luke) and dark (Darth) are forever intertwined. Back then I was against it, and felt betrayed by George Lucas. I was a whiny teenager myself who craved absolutes. As an adult I appreciate the revelation. Luke's dilemma is every boy's dilemma. You mean my father's not a great man? You mean my father's a dick? You mean I might become like him? Purity is for children, and first films."All I can say is, "Word."
By the way -- it's not just boys who wonder this.
