The Chosen One
A little slave boy on Tatooine,
Trying to help his mom,
Making friends,
And learning as much as he can.
Meeting a Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and his crew.
Falling in love with a queen in disguise, Padme Amidala.
Learning about his Force sensitivity,
And going to Coruscant, and then Naboo.
A daring Padawan taken in by Obi-Wan Kenobi
Failing to save his mother,
And killing Tusken Raiders in revenge.
Wanting more, regretting his deeds.
Recklessly attacking a Sith Lord,
Losing his arm in the process.
An arrogant Knight
Dreaming of his wife, Padme's death.
Wanting to prevent it
And turning to Palatine for help.
Becoming a council member but not a master.
Falling and falling.
Learning of Palpatine's alter ego, Darth Sidious.
Despairing andccepting the Dark Side.
Order 66, bane of the Republic and the Jedi.
A Sith Lord, Darth Vader
Living in a mechanical suit.
Now apprentice to Sidious.
Searching for stolen Death Star plans.
Murdering his old mentor, Obi-Wan.
Now searching for Luke Skywalker.
A trap at Bespin
Poor carbonited Han Solo.
A duel between father and son,
And the loss of a hand on Luke's part.
Wanting his so to live,
But required to obey the emperor.
A battle on and over Endor.
Dueling is son once more,
Winning at first, then losing.
Defeat for the helmeted Sith Lord.
Denial then screaming from Luke;
A gift from Sidious to Luke, lightning.
Padme, Luke, Leia.
His wife, his children.
Palpatine in his arms,
Feeling his life slipping away with each lick of lightning.
Hurling the evil emperor to his death.
A Jedi once more.
Truly seeing his son for the first time,
Bidding him farewell.
A peace, a happiness in being redeemed
And that the prophecy was fulfilled at long last.
Regret for how the prophecy was completed.
The last of his life fading, gone.
Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One
