GL talks anakin
I found this over at Cinscape.com Theres not much new here, except for one point at the end that i find intruiging.
In a story to promote STAR WARS EPISODE 2: ATTACK OF THE CLONES, George Lucas told the LA TIMES he’s finally ready to outline how and why Anakin (remarkably un-evil when last seen in EPISODE 1) goes bad.
“The issue then becomes, what is it in Anakin's personality that makes him turn bad?,” Lucas said. “What is his flaw? He has a couple. The groundwork is put forward in this movie much more clearly.”
He also said he was drawn back to the STAR WARS universe not by rabid fan interest, but his own explorations of Anakin.
“What brought me back to finish the whole thing off was the question of why, and how, Darth Vader became evil,” Lucas said. “The whole reason for going back and doing the back story on STAR WARS is that there is an evolution from this very good person, very kind person, very loving person into something that one would describe as evil… STAR WARS deals on a much more general level with age-old issues relating to fear, the unwillingness to let go of things. Out of that comes jealousy, and anger, and wanting power. So EPISODE 2 has to do with greed, power, jealousy and fear.”
Ok, greed, power, and fear, we knew those would be there. but JEALOUSY plays a part in anakins fall to the dark side as well. wonder who anakin could be jealous of....
