Throughout the Star Wars films eyes have played a huge role in how a character is perceived.

 In the original trilogy when Vader takes off his mask at the end of The Return of Jedi and it’s the first time we ever saw his face what stands out most are his eyes.

Yes his face is deformed from what happened to him back in Revenge of the Sith but the main focus are his eyes. Not the eyes of Darth Vader, a Sith Lord, but the eyes of Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi. And that’s also the reason Luke’s face softens when he first sees him.

He sees the eyes of his father for the first time (me to me: don’t cry bitch).

Moving on to the prequels and let’s keep our focus on Anakin’s eyes.

Phantom Menance

Smol child. Good boi. Loves flying and his mom. 10/10 would adopt.

And you cant argue here that they couldn’t make Anakin’s evil then cause he’s just a kid cause we got young Boba Fett looking like

Attack of the Clones

Sassy son. Sees his master as a father figure he never had. In love with a girl he met once that looked “like an angel”.

And then we got Revenge of The Sith

-Edge-Sith Lord. Murderer. Just killed a bunch of children. Hates everyone.

In all seriousness, we can clearly see the turning point for Anakin just by observing his eyes.

And that’s not only a thing for Anakin obviously.

 And this is just basic storytelling. The easiest way for the audience to tell who’s a good guy and who’s not.

Jumping forward to Rogue One and we see a clear indication of this again. When Cassian left the ship ordered to assassinate Jyn’s father Chirrut, who I highly believe was Force Sensitive, asks Baze:

And Baze replies: “No. He has the eyes of a friend.”

And that was a huge foreshadowing that Cassian wouldn’t actually kill Galen Erso. Just by what his eyes looked like. “The eyes of a friend.”

Moving on to the The Force Awakens and lets turn our focus on Finn. Throught the movie Finn’s character developed dramatically. Finn born and trained his whole life to become a First Order Stormtrooper. Finn uncertain and scared of who he is. Finn finally finding a place where he belongs fighting for what he believes. And then we got this scene where they’re all talking to Maz Kanata, also a person who I believe may be Force Sensitive, and she studies Finn’s eyes, just his eyes, and says this:

Once more a character is judged solely based on his eyes.

Then again in The Last Jedi when *spoilers* Finn kills Captain Phasma the mask shes’s wearing breaks and the only thing we see before she falls is her eye.

Where am I going with this you may ask? And I’ll reply:
