Is this a real thing? I mean, has Lucas said this is an intended connection between Palp's apprentices?

Even if he hasn’t said this directly it is very poetic. Lucas loves theatrical and cinematic poetry. These three all mirror and echo facets of Vader. They are also presented in the same order Vader goes through these phases.

“It’s like poetry. It rhymes.”

You had me until you said that they were presented in the same order that Vader went through them. Can you explain it further? Because I feel like his phases of being more machine than human and of being hatred and made to serve happened pretty much at the same time. But this theory says there was a phase of being a hero that faltered in between. What am I getting wrong?

  1. A slave turned by hatred and anger
  2. A fallen hero
  3. A robotic husk where very little of who they were is all that is left.

This is the order these characters were introduced and the order of events for Vader. Simplistic, but that also tracks.
