Ongoing Star Wars Theme
"Death and Resurrection"
The death and resurrection theme is very common in ancient mythology. Characters such as Luke and Han Solo go through this.
Luke goes through a "death and resurrection" when he lets go of his old self and is reborn as a true Jedi when he uses the force.
Han Solo experiences a "death" and "resurrection" when he leaves behind his mercenary self and is resurrected as a wiser, committed man.
Eventually everyone has to go through this "death" and "resurrection." When we become adults, for example. To leave behind our child-like dependency, we require a "death" and "resurrection."
This is the basic motif of the hero's journey.
