bullet::::- in regards of characters, the duality of the split persona of fallen jedi, anakin skywalker / darth vader, has been compared to that of the hobbit creature smeagol / gollum. in both cases the former being the good person, and the later the corrupted one, with both characters acting as tragic figures showing what could happen to the hero should he be corrupted and abandon his cause (luke skywalker in "star wars", and frodo in "lord of the rings"). however darth vader's place as second in command would also give him a role, analogue to white wizard saruman being the second of command of "lord of the rings" main antagonist sauron (to which emperor palpatine would be the main antagonist equivalent, even if their backstory is very different). additionally, saruman has also been compared to "star wars" character count dooku, due to both characters being played by christopher lee. due to dooku being darth vader's predecessor as palpatine's second in command (which darth vader would kill and replace), lucas sought christopher lee due to saruman's influence on darth vader, and his performance as saruman. additionally "star wars the clone wars" and "rebels" animated series producer dave filoni, inspired the development of ahsoka tano on gandalf from "the lord of the rings" novels and films.
