    Meme goodness aside, if you want an analytical look at the psychology of Anakin, check out this video.

    If you want a super deep dive on the philosophy behind Jedi thought (which is at the core of Star Wars as George Lucas framed a lot it from his experience as a Buddhist) take a look at this YouTube video. I’ve never heard a more complete explanation of the star wars universe and it addresses a lot of the superficial criticisms people direct towards the Jedi and general stance the movies take on good and bad.

    As a secondary plug, for any who played the RPG Knights of the Old Republic II, here is an awesome breakdown of the Kreia character by the same creator. Not just interesting from the perspective of fans of the game, but philosophy in general.

        Seriously, it’s rare for me to be so engrossed in something that I’ll sit through a 2 hour video, but with this one I was legitimately sad when it ended 😄
