When you look at the story arks of both characters they take a very similar path and fall from grace. 1. Big Boss an agent of the U.S. and fights to stop nuclear war. 1. Anakin Skywalker becomes a Jedi, a force for good and peace. 2. Big Boss leaves his country and becomes a gun for high, selling his skills to the highest bidder. 2. Anakin leaves the Jedi and joins the dark side of the force. 3. Big Boss is seen (possible) killing children for diamonds or some other reason. At any rate he starts recruiting child solders into his army. 3. Darth Vader kills younglings to further push him into the fold of the dark side bringing him closer to obtain the power he believes will save his wife's life. 4. Big Boss looses his arm and is severely wounded in combat. Later severely burned by Solid (the man he mentored). 4. Darth Vader is fried like a peace of KFC chicken by Obi-Wan (The man who mentored him). 5. Big Boss confess his sins and mistakes to his clone SS in a military grave yard after killing the man responsible for all the wrong doings in past game installments. 5. Darth Vader does the same moments after killing Darth Sidious who had constructed the clone wars and trade wars that lead to him coming to power in the senate. Conclusion - Kojima is a big star wars nerd who enjoys jerking us off with old material. But we still love him for it |

Eh, they're not really that similar Anakin went to the dark side to prevent the death of his wife. Big Boss left America because of what happened with The Boss and became evil for revenge, not power. |

True. But Anakin was also influenced by Sidious leading him to believe that the Jedi did not trust him. So there was a lot of hatred. If anything Zero and Sidious have a lot in common for there ability to manipulate the world around them. |

kojima is incredible! how the fuck have i not seen that?!

They pretty similar, specially both being two whiny bitches and poorly written, but again Kojima is like George Lucas so is not a suprise. |

+1 Pretty much this But yeah the whole revenge motive vs lust for power motive separates them a bit. |

Their motivations aren't that dissimilar. They are both put in a powerless situation. Their evil deeds are brought on by a desire to change that. |

Well yea but thats such a common thing that saying that, that makes BB and Darth similar also makes them similar to hundreds of other "evil" characters. |

Big Boss has yet to be anything remotely as interesting as the original Darth Vader. However, the prequels all have something wrong with them and I feel MGSV is looking good so far. |

Meh, Darth Vader is a lesser interesting character than Big Boss in my opinion. I don't know whether it's the sons, or what not, but there's something about BB that already makes him more of a memorable character than the likes of Darth Vader in my books. |

You shouldnt be able to start a topic till you have like 500 posts. Would really help trim down shit like this. Also, I'm pretty sure this should have been posted in Metal Gear General, instead of here. It does not pertain anything even remotely related to discussing the new and upcoming game. More or less, this is just random conversation. Edited by See Greene, May 1 2014, 05:39:06 PM.

Well, TPP is supposedly the character progression of BB going 'bad' in a sense, so.. I think it kinda does relate to The Phantom Pain thread... it's not very interesting and most likely won't seed that much discussion in the long run, so whats the harm really? |

Darth Vader was super interesting until we saw who he was before the mask :'( Big Boss remained pretty interesting even after we went back and saw him as Naked Snake. |
