Anakin's scar on his eye

did anyone else think of the character "Scar" from The Lion King, when you saw anakin's scar on his eye? They both have the same kind of scar on their eye. i thought there was a connection from the moment i saw it. anyone else pick up on that?

 

Yeah Anakin is a lion.

 

It's supposed to be symbolic.

 

Also because he's a lion.

 

symbolic of what?

 

Anakin's character goes on to be Darth Vader. James Earl Jones does the voice of Darth Vader. He also did the voice of Mufasa, Scar's brother.

Is that the truth.....I have no idea

 

Possibly because of that but it's symbolic.

 

Wow people are looking into that a little too deeply. The scar does not have any connections to the Lion King character of...well...Scar. Its just a battle scar from the Clone Wars. Nothing more...

 

You're not looking deep enough. There has to be an explanation, besides the Asajj Ventress duel. There's more to it.

 

Yeah, it's symbolic of what happens when something cuts you: you get a scar.

 

It's symbolic because Anakin is a lion.

 

^^ Right...he was lion...that explains everything.

 

The scar was explained in the Clone Wars, but I'm not 100% sure that cartoon was intended to be canon or not. In the grander scheme of things, no one makes reference to the fact that Anakin's arm is covered or that he wears black in differentiation to the Jedi who accompany him. I think that the Clone Wars explanation is not as much a telling of how the scar came about as much as a reference to how adversely war has changed this little innocent child from Tatooine into a Jedi Knight tainted by the Sith view of the world.

 

RAWR!

 

The scar is a physical reminder of what the war has done to Anakin internally. He did not come out of it the same as he went in, he's damaged. It's also an obvious clue for the audience that he's less Padawan pretty boy and more a harden Jedi warrior after three years of continuous fighting.

 

Probably a nod to Brian De Palmas movie "Scarface".

 

I wonder if maybe Anakin is a LEO??

Maybe he was a lion in his previous life.

Maybe the character from the Lion King was a Sith. After all, he was evil...

Maybe he liked the scar on Han Solo's chin and figured he'd go get himself one cause it was "fashionable".

The new Sith motto: "Chicks dig scars, pain is temporary, glory is forever" It worked out well for the Emperor. (that's what he should have said in that deep voice when he knighted vader)

Remember Anakin moving the fruit around the dinner table with Padme? "Obi-wan would kill me if he saw me doing this" Well, maybe Obi-wan walked in on him one day and caught him red handed, and it startled him and he ended up getting slashed by a butter knife.

Maybe he was trying to "force shave" and had an accident

Maybe there's a connection.....Elton John did the theme song for the Lion King,"The circle of life" well...."The circle is now complete" Maybe there really is a missing song on the ROTS soundtrack. Maybe suited Vader likes to blast "I'm still standing" in the headset in his mask.

Maybe Elton John offered to do another rendition of "The circle of life" and turn it into "The circle is now complete" but George said no. Anakin did the Lion King scar thing has a tribute to Elton because he was sad that there would be no theme song. After all, Sir Elton John has made renditions of other songs in the past, so maybe this one is not so far fetched?

Or maybe he has that scar because he got a laser blaster for Christmas. "You'll shot your eye out kid!" Maybe thats why the Jedi play with lightsabers instead....

 

Maybe it's just visual texture to show that he
is experienced in the world.
It's also a nice connection to Luke's facial scars
after the motorcycle accident, I mean, Wampa attack.

 

ar yous dudes a dums L.O.L.
his got da scrach frum assag ventura in da clan warz dat wuz happnig da 3 yrz befrue Revange Of Da Sidis

 

"Maybe he was trying to 'force shave' and had an accident" funny!
maybe it could be that Anakin had not been keeping up with his lightsaber practice

 

liek daaahhh it wuz assaug ventura it whered say in the Comicks i use to bye i cannot be afforuden dem anymo

 

"Where'd you get that scar? From *****************?"

"How do you get a scar from *****************?"

The scar is a result of his fight with Ventress, though the actual origin is a bit muddled. The cartoon depicts it as the fight on Yavin 4, but "Obsession" portrays it as the fight on Courscant. Anyway, the whole point is to match up to Lucas' older idea that the character of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader was scarred up from many battles, which goes further back to the character Kane Starkiller. It also works on another level, as Mark Hamill had scars from a real life car accident. In the story, Luke was scarred up from the Wampa that attacked him. Though not as visible, Luke does have scars and his father had a single scar, before being burned up.

 

As always it takes an old-timer to set everyone straight!

 

Exactly........

 

YES! We all know that. We know Asajj Ventress cuts him and gives him a scar. Hell we know that! But there's a deeper meaning to that. A DEEPER MEANING...Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin...
