Faust seems to have exerted a big influence on Star Wars. You know, the "give up your soul for immortality" or something.
I feel that I was made to complete things. To accomplish only a mass of beginnings and attempts would be to make a total failure of life. Perfection is the heritage with which my Creator has endowed me, and since this short life does not give completeness, I must have immortal life in which to find it.
