Destiny or Decision?

The parallel fates that Luke and Darth Vader go through but the difference in their  decisions are a highlight point for this film. We see Luke going through the same steps:

1)training to be a Jedi

2)being impatient

3)not being ready but thinking he is ready

4) losing an arm

5)and then finally having to make the final decision whether to join the dark force or not.

This is where the two characters differ greatly and Luke draws a different fate for himself by making a different decision. So is this really his destiny? Do we become what our decisions lead to become or what we are destined to be?

Luke Skywalker has an answer: he chooses not to be on the dark side.

The list could go on with the three dimensional side characters, amazing visual effects, the meaning of being a real Jedi and more! But let’s leave it here and let our hearts beat 3 more days for the FINAL film of Star Wars.

Stay warm friends.
