Star Wars "Hero's Journey"

"The hero's journey is a journey into the center of yourself"

In Star Wars, this quote held true for both Luke and Anakin. Both went through a hero's journey, although the journey was completed in different ways. Both were faced with a "calling" of sorts, and learned things about themselves that changed their ideals drastically. Anakin and Luke completed their quests with honor, and eventually made good choices that saved many in the end.
Luke's calling was to take defeat the Emporer, to abolish evil from their society. After being trained by Obi-Wan, and later Yoda, Luke honed his skills. He was put into dangerous situations, and saved himself and others with grace and skill. He found out that Leia was his sister, and continued on to save her and his friends. His challenge, aside from killing the Emporer, was the decision to kill his father. When faced with that situation, his tale took a twist and things ended up being easier than he thought.
Anakin turned to the darkside from anger and a lust for power. Although his journey was stunted after turning to the dark side, he knew that eventually his son would come to destory the Emporer, his master. Darth's struggle was which side to choose; his own flesh and blood or the lifestyle he pretty much swore his soul to. Anakin completed his journey by saving his son, and killing the Emporer, which in turn killed him. Although he paid for his ways with an early death, he made the right choice in the end. He was proud of his son.
Both Heros' journeyed into themselves and found courage, strength and willpower.
