About This Quote
Darth Vader is known as the villain of Star Wars and many people think that Darth Vadar has a great sense of style, although he probably looks better in his original costume from the movie. In this quote, the author is saying that I am the same as Darth Vader, but I have better lung capacity. In other words, I can go for a much longer period of time without breathing. The sentence uses alliteration, another form of repetition. It says “Darth Vader” and then says “better lung capacity.” The sentence also uses a figure of speech called anagnorisis , which means to recognize or understand that which is not understood. In this case, the similarity between a famous villain and a young boy who is sick reveals the boy’s identity as being Luke Skywalker.
