For several months, output Episode VII requires the names of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader or Han Solo are on everyone’s lips. But are you really unbeatable on the links and other relatives that unite the main characters of the saga?
For over 38 years, we know , Star Wars only talk about that. The family, with all these secrets, big and small, the line of Skywalker, lost and then found. From “I am your father” to “You are my sister,” intergalactic saga of George Lucas ties and unties family ties in the finest generation of dramatic tradition to generation.
Star Wars , in fact, the galactic fairy tale of a fallen family, scattered, forgotten, who finds the resilient force to reform, the better to forgive the former. For as it says in the Bible: “When parents eat sour grapes, it is the children who have the teeth set on edge” (Ezekiel XVIII, 2). on the occasion of the release of the seventh episode located thirty years after Return of the Jedi Le Figaro offers a passage in review of the main characters of the saga.
● Darth Vader, or the secret personified
It is the perfect anti-hero. Devil Trismegistus, general psychoanalysed father, the central character of the first three Wars movie star haunts galaxies. He is the paragon of dark force, that occult power and overpowered the Jedi want to fight. Skillfully her face is hidden. His voice hoarse, muffled inspires fear. It was not until The empire against attack to understand, finally, the demons that assail it. He is the father of Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader, the ignoble gave birth to kindness incarnate. Prior to espouse the cause of absolute evil, the commanding general of the army of Emperor Palpatine himself was a Jedi knight. His real name is Annakin Skywalker. Its drift, slow, irreversible serve as a guideline to the last three episodes.
The great mystery of Manichaeism was guarded like Fort Knox. The famous reply, I am your father, was not declaimed during filming. It was added in postproduction. The secret of evil had to be protected until the last moment …
● Han Solo, the romantic brigand who is not to say “I love you”
In this war of the stars, the smuggler galaxy is certainly the most human character. George Lucas reinvents Robin Hood. None better Harrison Ford could endorse this habit. Of course, Han does not fight with a bow and arrow. It has two absolute weapon: charm and Millennium Falcon. Man also has heart. He ends up falling in love with the sister of his friend Luke Skywalker. Princess Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) confess his love to his heartthrob. When Solo is cryogenically frozen in carbonite, she will say “I love you”. And Han Solode answer: “I know.” The intergalactic smuggler is a romantic, a bit macho. That is its least defect.
● Obi-Wan Kenobi, the keeper of all secrets
Jedi Master … This esoteric title became synonymous to know no limits and absolute wisdom. George Lucas chose to interpret a legend of the 7th art to personify. Alec Guinness for moviegoers is Noblesse oblige , The River Kwai Bridge . It blends with a special genius in hieratic compositions to be incorruptible. When Guinness plays Obi-Wan Kenobi, he first made a splenetic hermit. Then he did back in the saddle for one last fight. Personified in his youth by the young Ewan McGregor Obi Wan does not compromise, knows no ethics sprain. Its secret is that the holder of all secrets. The master Jedi knights form. Luke Skywalker is certainly his most gifted student. Darth Vader knows Obi-Wan knows the keys to the world of light Force. He’ll kill him, perhaps, to grab its secrets forever.
● Luke Skywalker, between darkness and light
This hero is cursed. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) loses his mother, Padmé Amidala few minutes after born. Then the orphan is separated from her twin sister, the future Princess Leila. Raised by his aunt and uncle on the planet Tatooine Lars, he knows nothing of his past. His only friends are named C-3PO and R2-D2 droids who have the heart and the mind. Later Obi-Wan Kenobi the form. Luke must tranformer in Jedi. The wise old man is the master of secrets. He never reveal his apprentice his terrible descent. Luke Skywalker will find her father, the absolute master of the Dark Force. At the last moment at the end of an epic battle worthy of Achilles and Agamemnon, Darth Vader tells him “. I am your father” Freud, for better or for worse, has invited Star Wars .
● Chewbacca, the ferocious beast with a heart
Legendary warrior Wookiee, Chewbacca is one of the characters most emblematic of the rebellion. Also known for his long hair as for his unspeakable groans (“Roaaaaawwwrr”), its strength and superhuman size enable it to cope with the worst enemies. He met Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first episode of the saga, The Clone Wars , then rallied to the cause of Yoda to address the Empire. From Episode IV, he became a faithful friend and co-pilot of Han Solo.
Performed since 1977 by Peter Mayhew, the actor who this year celebrated its 71 years will rethreading the costume of the hairball for The Force Wake . According to rumors, George Lucas always wanted to be him who plays Chewbacca. The reason? Perhaps his incredible height: 2.18 meters!
● Princess Leia, beauty and strength
Princess Leia, or in its long Princess Leia Organa of Alderande version is the flagship female character the saga Star Wars . Played by Carrie Fisher, it must be recognized by the hair consists of two tackles buttons above his ears. Princess Leia appears in episodes III, IV, V and VI of Star Wars. Daughter of Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala of Padoo, it is also the twin sister of Luke Skywalker. Orphaned at birth, it is adopted by the Queen of Alderaan and her husband, then became at age 18 the representative of this planet to the Imperial Senate. Princess Leia then became one of the great figures of the Rebel Alliance against the Empire.
● R2-D2, the little rebel robot and multitasking
Did you know that behind R2-D2, hides a man of twelve meter? Kenny Baker, his interpreter, today 81 years. In 1977, the dwarf rotates in nightclubs when George Lucas unearths the robot to maneuver. He will do it in six films of the saga. Multitasking is with his droid C-3PO the only sidekick character Star Wars to appear in every episode. Mute, letting out here and there some electronic chirps, R2-D2 is useful in repairing the vessels, that of Queen Amidala in the first episode, or by assisting Luke Skywalker. In 1978, the robot is even crowned during the fiftieth Oscars. The sound designer Ben Burtt receives a special award for his sighs and grunts synthesized only means of expression for R2-D2 …
● C-3 PO, diplomat, clumsy, cowardly
Along with R2-D2, it is the second half of this tandem of “Laurel and Hardy” droid release. There is also an actor behind the mask: Anthony Daniels, now 69 years old. The British actor is in charge of dubbing himself of his robot. Originally, C-3PO is the work of Anakin Skywalker. The young man built his droid from parts found in the desert. C-3PO is masculine, but it is a troubling copy of Maria, the robot created by Fritz Lang Metropolis released in 1927. In the saga, he teamed with R2-D2 aboard the Tantive IV attacked by Darth Vader A New Hope . They are then captured by Jawas, sold to Owen Lars, and fight against the Empire alongside the rebel forces.
