| Escaflowne or Star Wars? |
| In previous entries, I’ve detailed the type of entries I have. Well, today is a theory (as normally works into all of them). But, this is a much more lighthearted theory than many of mine are.
So, today “Escaflowne as Star Wars”. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Escaflowne, it is a Japanese anime. A very good one I might add. I’ve only watched 10 episodes so far (of 26), but it’s excellent. Well, watching episode 6 or 7, I was struck by the fact that Escaflowne is very similar to Star Wars in certain regards. This led me to certain theories about what’s going to happen. If you haven’t watched Escaflowne, this will probably be a boring read, and may spoil some of the story. Reader discretion is advised. The evidence: Escaflowne: Folken has a mechanical arm. Star Wars: Darth Vader has mechanical… Well, a lot of it. Escaflowne: Folken is trying to convince his brother, Van, to join him in the Zaibach Empire. Star Wars: Darth Vader is trying to convince his son, Luke, to join him in the Empire. Escaflowne: Hitomi is falling in love with Allen, who I think is her brother. Star Wars: For a short while, there’s a Luke/Leia fling. Based on this rather poor evidence, I make these predictions: Star Wars: Darth Vader saves Luke from the Emperor, getting killed in process. Escaflowne: Folken saves Van from Dilandau, getting killed in process. Star Wars: Luke finds out that Leia is his sister, Leia falls for Han Solo. Escaflowne: Hitomi finds out that Allen is her brother, she falls for Van or Amano (which has already happened, actually…) More on this story as it develops. |
