Tumblr crosspost (27 January 2020)

I reblogged a parallel photoset of Anakin responding to Shmi's death and Luke to Owen and Beru's, both looking pretty murderous. It was subtitled with quotes from the script:

Anakin: Anakin lifts his head, listening for a moment, then he sits on the floor of the Tusken hut, cradling his dead mother in his arms.

Luke: Luke stumbles around in a daze looking for his aunt and uncle. Suddenly he comes upon their smoldering remains. He is stunned, and cannot speak. Hate replaces fear and a new resolve comes over him.

I added: It's like there are major and persistent parallels between them specifically called out in the dialogue and script!
