Saga Compilation of direct trilogy mirrors (1-4, 2-5, 3-6) (Note: Image heavy)

The Vader/Grievous mirrors continue:

RotS
Palpatine to Grievous: "Soon I will have a new apprentice, one far younger and more powerful."


RotJ
Palpatine to Vader: "Soon the Rebellion will be crushed and young Skywalker will be one of us."

 

I've fixed the broken links here.
There is some pretty extensive mirroring going 1-4, 2-5, 3-6.
I think some of the most meaningful are within there, but it isn't exclusive to this.

 

True.
Sidious also tells Grievous that the war will soon be over, yet while this is true he doesn't tell Grievous the Separatists will be the losing side.

I wonder if Vader knows when Luke is turned it will mean his death. Maybe he has resigned to this fate? He is trapped either way, he doesn't really want to kill Luke but Luke turning will mean his own demise.

 

Hello there. Wow. This is my first post in over 2 years. I came here to post this since I just made the connection, then I saw the mother and son post of Padme and Luke working on R2 on the first page, which I also had never thought about. Here's mother and daughter.

 

Hi and welcome back!
That's a really good one! Extremely good, in fact.

 

This is a great thread

I think my favorite mirror of the saga, and probably the most quintessential, is the ironic fulfillment of Kylo Ren’s vow to finish what Vader started. Because what ended up happening was that Kylo’s good side (Ben) finished what Vader’s good side (Anakin) started: the search for a way to save a loved one from death.

Mike Klimo needs to get with Lucasfilm and make a book that is a Ring Theory version of Frames.

 

A lot of these links are broken but attempting to revive this ole thread.

 

Years ago on this forum, I was the first person online to point out on the internet the yin/yang formation in Attack of the Clones, in the clouds of Naboo, after Anakin had the nightmare about his mother.

Today, over a decade later, I found the same cloud formation, in reverse, toward the end of Red Tails, after the death of Lightning.
