While I am diehard Star Trek fan, I also love the Star Wars universe and all that it encompasses. The plight of the Jedis against the forces of the darkside went from a popular trifecta of movies to an empire that spans movies, television, books, games, graphic novels and an incalculable number of product tie-ins.

The core of the story has always revolved around the Skywalker family, and its rise to power and fall from grace. Anakin began as a bright young boy with a bright future and became cocky and rebellious teen and finally a jealous hate filled man that is turned into Darth Vader by the emperor.

Anakin's own son ends up defeating him and that's where the movies end, but not the story. The books and novels continue the story and Luke Skywalkers' own path to the darkside. They talk about his children and the children of Leia and Han Solo.

The return of the emperor through cloning and the never ending battle of good versus evil. That at its heart is what Star Wars is all about. Battling not only the evil in the world, but the evil that resides in ourselves. We see how hatred, envy and jealousy can transform even the most righteous person into a shadow of their former self.

The Star Wars story continues as we learn more about Anakin and his life before Vader in “The Clone Wars” cartoon. We learn more about the years before A New Hope in games like Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. As long as we keep buying it, odds are the Star Wars saga will never end and that's fine by me.
