Is there any human on this planet that never ever heard or read about the Dark Vader and the Star Wars trilogy? I don’t and I won’t believe such a lie. The Star Wars series is the most famous and world renowned Sci-Fi series that talk about different species on this universe that battle one and other for the supreme power and for the supreme Force of the universe that only the Chosen One can handle. The Star War series it’s formed by three books and has the most famous ever created book characters like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leila or the most powerful villain ever, Dark Vader. The first volume is written by Alain Dean Foster and the other two were written by Donald F. Glut and James Kahn.
Anakin Skywalker (also known as Dark Vader) is one of the main characters of the Star Wars trilogy books. Anakin was a tall, blonde with blue eyes boy that was not always the bad character of the books. He was the good guy at first, but the different circumstances made him the negative character of the books. He was a powerful and determinate boy that helped people in need. He saves a lot of lives during his childhood in which he lived like a slave together with his mother on the planet Tatooine. Anakin really loved his mother and he was doing anything that she said. Anakin is the father of Luke Skywalker and has many granddaughters and grandsons. In the Star Wars book we has submitted like the negative character, but we all knew that those who are bad now, once they’ve been really good persons who had meet really bad persons and their life took a drastically change. Also, Anakin a.k.a Darth Vader was considered the Chosen One.
In the first Star Wars book, at the begging, Anakin was described like a really good child, but stubborn and really ambitious. The first book describe the beginning of his life, the slave days on the Tatooine planet, along with his mother, how he helped lots of people from death and how he even helped a crow of wild animals from the hunters, even if he knew that his life will be in danger, he still saved the animals. The book also describes how Anakin wins his liberty with the help of the Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn, after winning a bet. His courage and ambitions save his life from being the ultimate slave on the Tatooine planet. And he saved his mother too. Anakin also took part in the battle of Naboo, destroying the control station of the druids. Because of his act of courage on this battle, he was accepted in the trainings by the Jedi Council because they said he was the chosen one and they cannot bring the prophecy’s curse upon them. So Anakin continue the Jedi training with his master, Jinn, how tough him all he knew. Anakin was from the human species and so did his Master, Jin. Together they traveled along the galaxies, where the young and brave Anakin meets Amidala, the Chomell Sector Ambassador.
In the second book, the love story of Anakin and Amidala continues, as they participate in the Clone War, Anakin took Amidala to be his wife, even if the Jedi Council drastically ordered not to do such a thing. That’s why their marriage was a secret for a long, long time. All of this time, Anakin was forced to face the death of his mother, action that will destroy him emotionally. Also, Anakin fought in the Close War besides his master obtaining the title of Jedi Cavalier and took Asdoka as his disciple. Even thou Anakin and his master made a strong a powerful team, Anakin had always had this fear inside him, fear and anger. Those features were showed at the battler of Coruscant when he decapitated the duke. On the way home, his wife Amidala, has pregnant and she stated to have visions about her dying at the birth of the child. Then, Anakin, trying to save his wife, he falls into the dark forces of the Force, when he started to be Darth Sidios’s disciple. Only after this scene in the book, Anakin Skywalker began using the renowned name of Darth Vader.
The Star Wars trilogy is one of the famous series of book that created such a powerful pellicle as the Star Wars movies. These movies had blown up the spellings and the films top years in a row and they were an incredible production of the late ’70s. Actually, the Star Wars movies are more known as the book series and this trilogy has millions of fans around the globe. The movies were extraordinary and the sceneries were really detailed and it was like you were actually reading the books. The Star Wars movies were a total success and they still are in our days. The fans even start learning the books language and start talking in it. Just imagine the maddens that this books and movies had provoked. Even those that didn’t watched the movies (even thou I don’t really thing that such people do exist) or read the book really know who Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader of Princess Leila were. The fame of his movies and book turn the world upside down and a new era of Sci-Fi books and literature just began.
I do know that only fans and knower’s of the books will truly understand the deep drama that it’s behind those cold and bloody interspecies Sci-Fi wars, but we must admit that the Star War trilogy it’s one of the most bestselling, if not even the most, series of books ever created by human life. Even thou the films were created years after the series were released, these movies convinced the people that they are worth buying and they actually had more book sells after the movie and not the other way around. Even thou this fiction, upper space series of book is well renowned among our planet, there are, as in all of the cases, many critics of the trilogy. The comments are good and constructive, but for these books they are nothing. These series were such a success that other authors tried and failed creating same stories and back plots. Fans of Star Wars from everywhere, may the Force be with you!
