Compare and Contrast: Star Wars and Greek Mythology

Mythology is more than just a story from the Greeks, it is all around us. It inspires companies, movies, television shows, and music. Greek Mythology is hidden all around us whether it be obvious or subtle. Since the 1977 premiere of the Star Wars series, the franchise has made over 30 billion dollars. And yes, Greek Mythology is a big part of this series. Conflict between father and son is a common theme seen in Greek Mythology. This conflict can be seen in many stories such as the story of Zeus and Cronus, and Cronus and Uranus. Father-Son conflict is also a large part of the story of Star Wars between Supreme Commander Darth Vader(Anakin Skywalker) and his son Jedi Luke Skywalker.
