The story is Anakin being redeamed by his son. The story is about the Skywalkers as a family, the fall of the father and his redemption by the son. The first trilogy was presented in a way to make you change your opinions about Darth Vader as you watched the movies. Which makes me wonder if the original outline for movies 7-9 would be about a third generation of Skywalker as he relates to the second generation (and the first, it's not like being dead takes a jedi out of the story here). The focus on Star Wars through Jedi is the story of Luke Skywalker reviving the Jedi and redeaming his father. It is the stroy of Anakin's redemption, through his son (it was Luke who redeamed him). The focus of 4 through 6 might not be always on Anakin Skywalker, but he is mentioned over and over again in all three (Obi Wan and Owen talk about him in Star Wars, the whole focus of Empire is Luke learning the truth, and Jedi is Luke redeaming his father and restoring the Jedi.) Luke is the focus of it all, Star Wars Luke's rise, Empire Luke learns the truth, Jedi Luke redeams his father, If you take all six movies together, it will be the fall of Anakin and the rise of his son Luke to redeam him. Just because it isn't the only thing on the screen and isn't spelled out doesn't mean that's not what it's all about, there is a half dozen stories being told in these movies but the one that ties them all together is the story of the Skywalker family. That's why the call it a underlying story, it's under all the other stuff, it's the backbone of all the movies, it's the continous thread through all six (or nine if they ever get made). 4-6 is the stroy of the one who redeams Anakin, it's what everything leads up to through three movies, that moment where Darth Vader chooses his son over the Emperor, it's the story of redemption as told through the eyes of the one who does the redeaming not the one who is redeamed, but it is still the same story.</p></blockquote><p></p>
