Well, Undertale touches on those themes.

True Pacifist Frisk is a Jedi.

He's willing to play that game at an artificially high difficulty level because he tries to save the very monsters that are trying to kill him, risking life and limb to try to understand them, and help them better understand themselves. He's willing to face The God of Hyberdeath without ever leveling up once. And his reward at the end is that he gets to return to the surface, along with all the amazing friends he made along the day.

Genocide Chara is a Sith.

She takes all the gold, all the EXP, and kills everything in her path out of greed. And rather than an ending filled with light and life, the reward for her efforts a friendless existance in an endless void.

Undyne is willing to fight Chara-possessed Frisk, throwing herself in front of the blade that was meant to kill Monster Kid. Undyne is a true hero here, willing to sacrifice her own health for another. This greater link to Life, the One-ness, allows her to channel the power of all the remaining monsters, and become Undyne the Undying.

Greed selfish people look at Philanthropists, and declare that they're nuts, they're never going to get ahead in life that way. But the Philanthropists have a power that the Selfish folks will never understand.

If "Awakened" is some pop culture reference, I don't recognize it. But it seems like a good word to me.
