The Grieving Mother
Akseli Gallen-Kallela
dir. George Lucas
another painterly one from Roni Lücke, who provides some context:
Lemminkäisen Äiti, or Lemminkäinen's Mother by Akseli Gallen-Kallela portrays a scene from the finnish mythological epic Kalevala. During a quest for the hand of the beautiful, magical daughter of the land of Pohjola, the womanizing war-hero Lemminkäinen hubristically kills a holy swan and thus in retribution has been cut apart at sword-point and cast in the black river of Tuonela (the underworld). Lemminkäinen's mother arrives to the scene and rakes her son up from the river piece by piece, until she can put him together.
Does this make the Emperor a wicked witch/bad mother instead of a wizard?

Aside from the obvious, notice the vocoder box on the chest flashing with lights. Thanks wyoming for the screencap.

The Fear
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
dir. George Lucas
"In the beginning there is ignorance. Ignorance engenders fear. Fear engenders hatred, and hatred engenders violence. Violence breeds further violence until the only law is whatever is willed by the most powerful."
