"Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on "some damn fool idealistic crusade" like your father did."
— Obi-Wan Kenobi, A New Hope
"...When my powers awoke, my dad was terrified. He tried to convince me not to fight. He didn't care about that being taboo or whatever. And I guess I can't blame him, honestly. ...But I'd made up my mind, and we went back and forth fighting about it for a long time. [...] And I wanted to do it! I wanted to protect people. Still do, I mean. ...And, maybe, I thought it'd help me understand my mom better."

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me.
