Randomflyingobjects Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 So, in your opinion, who is the main character of the Star Wars saga (1-6)? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Moonflowyr Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Luke. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 For the entire saga, I say Anakin, cause while he becomes Vader, he's still Anakin and he ends up saving the galaxy as Qui-Gon Jinn foresaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I guess Anakin, considering the fact they're apparently bringing him back for 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Account is Unplayable Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 So... they're not going off of the books that depict the story after episode 6? Oh and it's easily Anakin. The entire story throughout all 6 episodes did focus around him. Luke was more prominent throughout episode 4, but 1-3, 5 and 6 made Anakin to be the focus. Kinda passively in 5 and 6, but still the main character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomflyingobjects Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 My opinion is Anakin, because the entire thing is HIS LIFE. Not Luke's. ANAKIN'S life. Besides, I think George Lucas said himself that the saga was about the life of Anakin, the rise and fall of a tragic hero or something like that.

ListenToLife Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 George lucas always stated that the Star wars series was about the Tragedy of Vader, the tale of Anakin Skywalker. Luke is an important character, but was never the main character. Main protagonist, at least in the last 3, but never the main character. As for the new three movies, no matter how good they'll be (And I dont doubt that they'll be good), they're not the traditional Star Wars story; they dont follow that same story of Anakin. They'll be like the extended Universe, just with more money spent on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw anyone as a main character but rather that it's a group of main characters with their own role. [quote name='Fusion X.

ListenToLife Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 They're not bringing Anakin back for 7-9, Anakin's dead. They might be bringing luke back though. But that in no-way means that he's the main character; nor does the being in all 6 movies. Anakin isn't the only one to do that; Obi-wan, C-3PO & R2-D2 have all been in all 6. Anakin is the main character because it's the story/Tragedy of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker; Lucas has said himself that it was the story of Anakin, and his death was Lucas' excuse for originally not doing a 7-9.

.Rai Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 The films revolve around Anakin, but there's obviously split focus between a lot of main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomflyingobjects Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I'm just saying that it'll never be an actual part of the saga, and more like a PART of the Expanded Universe. ...And they REALLY shouldn't bring Vader back. He's dead, remember? He can't reincarnate as a bad guy, he's good now. He can't be back as a good guy because he's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terranova3295 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I believe it's Anakin, and his journey throughout his life to fulfill his destiny as Qui-Gon suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeguBrit Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I've always thought it was Obi-Wan, since he is the main character pretty much in Phantom Menace (Anakin is introduced like halfway through) and co-main character throughout 2 and 3. Then he is prominently featured in 4, and in 5 and 6 he comes back as a ghost to help Luke, Han, Leia and Chewy throughout both of the movies. I've never thought of Star Wars as being the story of Anakin's tragic life, more as an account of Obi-Wan's escapades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 1-3 and 4-6 are separate. Anakin was the Main Character for episodes 2 and 3. 1 didn't have one, that's why it sucked. 4-6 was Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 This question is easy: Episode 1, Qui-Gon Jin or Obi Wan Kenobi (cant decide cause both is important main characters) Episode 2-3, Anakin Episode 4-6, Luke There you have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
