The Old Republic
By Tammy Derouin
I recently shared a classic movie saga with my girls. They loved it too! I will never forget all the excitement which
surrounded its release and the release of the original sequels. The special effects alone were ground
breaking. The characters ranged from
humans to droids to an amazing assortment of aliens. The timeless story of good versus evil was
uniquely told in a way which captivated the world. Good versus evil was transparently clear… “A
long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.”
What was it that captivated us? Why were theatres packed? Why did the crowds cheer? When you remove the special effects and the
odd looking characters, what you are left with is the rock solid truth. Good will destroy evil. It will take time and it will not be
easy. The farther down the dark path one
travels, the longer it will take to right one’s self. Immediate redemption is possible if one is
willing to self-sacrifice.
Turning to the dark side may at first seem like an easier
path. But, benefits and rewards are obtained
by causing death and destruction. Your
freedoms and individual liberties are extinguished as you tether yourself to an
all-powerful central government. The
ruling party hunts down and destroys all evidence of the guardians of
freedom. Their weapon is fear. They terrorize and attempt to destroy those
who oppose their will.
When you live in a land of men rather than a land of laws,
the ruling party or ruling man decides your fate. Death is the penalty if you disappoint, disagree
or stand in the way. The accuser is the
judge, jury and executioner. You have no
recourse. You are at their mercy once
the Old Republic has been destroyed...
