First Parallel: Star Wars!

Ok so I had to pick this one I know, but its a good one.  The double trilogy in and of itself has multiple parallels, so I'm only going to name one, and if you'd like you can name other's.  Our investigator Nelson put it this way: "The entire six films are about Anakin, all of them.  The last three may focus on Luke but its really about him (Anakin).  How he rises to great power, falls and becomes corrupted, lives in darkness, and then redeems himself."  That's not exactly how he said it but pretty much.  So that's the first parallel.
