Thank you so much!
You're absolutely on point with Luke Skywalker - he's a character who undergoes through major character development to become a more "complete" person.
The great thing about having 'holes' in your character is that they don't even need to be fixed or filled in by the end. The goal needs to be achieved pretty much ALL the time - making that the one predictable element, but the holes in your character can remain to the very end.
When it comes to movies, I think the characters from Blade Runner are an excellent example of this - all of them you can feel have something missing in their lives - Deckard, Roy, Rachael etc.
Absolutely! When Gaff tells Deckard the "Too bad she won't live" line, I always feel like their journey has come to a sort of an end, but nothing was really accomplished. It was just a story that made us feel and think, but the characters weren't fixed, their lives didn't actually get better, etc...no "completion".
Such a beautiful ending. It feels like he found happiness for a second then it gets taken away :( Now this makes me want to write a piece on how to write endings lol...
Lol:) continuous inspiration...gotta love that!
