The movies star wars 1-6 is a stricking example of how Dravids were couped. The story about the jedis, the republic and the dark lords of Sith. Our hero a Anakan Skywalker, is an outsider of the school. The school wants to take him on. So he gets into a long journey of misery and hatred. The jedis recognise his abilities but never give him his due position in the council. Continues to practice with his master Obi-Wan Kenobi, gets by his side, but gets seduced by the dark side, never becoming a jedi though, falling in love marrying Padme, a strict rule never to be broken by jedis of celibacy. So the jedis get destroyed by the Sith, take over the republic turn it into the Empire. Anakan is turned to the dark side, as a Darth Vader.

Only later his son and daughter are able to destroy the empire with the help of the rebels. Only after so many years of being a Vader, Anaken gets saved by his son, Luc to be freed even if in death from the dark side that master Qui-Gonn rendered onto him through the jedis.

It takes really long to break free, sometimes even in death.
