Oh so you want me to cry about a father/son relationship that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away? Because I did.

There's a process I find incredibly underrated in mainstream works: when a duel between two characters is supposed to be epic, but instead of epic, energising music in the background, there's sad, uniform music.

In Return of the Jedi, Luke, who ideally came as a pacifist, fights his father, not out of hatred or anger, but out of fear, after Vader reveals to him that he knows about his sister. Luke is not afraid for himself, but for Leia. He knows there's still good in Vader, but if killing him is the only way to protect his sister, then so be it.

In Avatar the Last Airbender, Zuko confronts his sister because he knows that she has gone completely mad and that the only way to stop her is to beat her at her own game. However, Zuko is stronger than he has ever been because he no longer draws his power from anger. And at the end of the fight, Azula has a mental breakdown because she doesn't understand how he could have defeated her, while she has achieved what she always wanted (or at least what she thought she always wanted).

In both cases, it's two members of the same family that life has pitted against each other. And there's nothing epic about that.
