Lucas may have been a terrible director, but he understood the basic mythic themes enough to execute them properly in his films. Anakin brings balance by tearing down a classical system (read the Jedi order) and making way for a romantic system (read Luke, rebels freedom from the empire and the order). Luke and Anakin are both just Odesseus.
