lovely mystery that contains a multitude of possibilities. Significant improvements in space discovery opened many opportunities for filmmakers to go to infinity and beyond. Outer space has been portrayed on the silver screen countless times, from Star Wars, the epic space opera series, to Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon), the iconic French silent film, to Gravity, the Academy Award-nominated contemporary thriller. After the moon landing in 1969, the motion picture industry began to produce
From Homer’s Odyssey to Star Wars - The Unchanging Path of the Hero In the fiction world heroes have been one of the most entertaining figures. It has always been fun and interesting to read about heroic stories and about different obstacles that heroes had overcome. When someone mentions the word "hero" it is more likely to think of characters like Batman or James Bond, but it is for sure that if we had the chance to ask the same question centuries before, the answer would have been different

of George Lucas completed his second major film project. The project was Star Wars and it debuted to considerable success. Despite being a stand-alone film Lucas went on to produce two sequels and three prequels. The entire series was a commercial success and spawned an expanded universe larger than any other franchise. However, the story of Star Wars: A New Hope, as it was called after the creation of The Empire Strikes Back, is not new. In fact, it follows many guidelines established centuries before
known weapon is. The lightsaber is merely a symbol to express my love for the entire star wars franchise. I have loved star wars for a very long time, since I started grade 8. In case you’re wondering, yes, the last line was sarcastic since Word hasn’t been updated to tell you the expression on my face and in my mind yet. I never really payed attention to star wars until I started grade 8. I has read a few star wars books and comics, but of course that was only for the purpose of showing my grade 6

Folklore in Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, and Alice in Wonderland Folklore in the movies usually focuses around a hero or heroine, that hero or heroine is in a situation that they have to overcome. The hero or heroine can come in many different forms; it could be a teenage boy a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, or an over the hill astronaught lost in space, or a little girl who falls down a hole. I am going to show how three movies contain folklore, Star Wars IV: A New Hope, Planet
The Star Wars Trilogy The First of the three part series, Star Wars, is the tale of a band of heros who team together for the good of the universe and the money. The story begins as Princess Leia is held hostage by the Galactic empire in order to crush the rebellion against them. During the attack on Leia's ship two droids, R2-D2 and C-P30, escape through an escape pod. They landed on a foreign planet and were captured and sold to their new master Luke Skywalker. The Empire chases the droids because
is possible as long as you don’t give up and you believe in yourself. The theme of this book is similar to the lesson that it taught me: never give up on those you love and believe in your abilities to make the impossible possible. Now that I look back on this book, I think that it is quite repetitive. Between the fighting and random encounters, the book becomes rather predictable with few plot twists or major surprises. The kids would always encounter erasers and then somehow escape them in some
Star Wars Battlefront reminds me why I love Star Wars. Its skirmishes unfold across iconic planets, with gorgeous landscapes and sweeping vistas on a massive scale. Endor's trees dwarf us. Tatooine's desert stretches for miles. And when the battle music reaches its peak, and I glide over Hoth's frozen trenches, I'm right back in my childhood living room, watching The Empire Strikes Back for the first time. But Battlefront lacks the longevity that makes its source material great. It offers initial
mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye, Laertes’ son, whose home’s on Ithaca!” There are two important leaders on is Odysseus from Homer’s The Odyssey and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars IV. Odysseus and Luke are both wise, but Odysseus is more arrogant. He being arrogant makes him less of a better leader, more of a stubborn person, and more narcissistic. In contrast, Luke is a better leader than Odysseus, because Odysseus is arrogant
Return of the Jedi is the perfect conclusion to the original Star Wars trilogy. Children everywhere sat in theaters in 1983 and experienced awe at the green blade of Luke’s new lightsaber, felt the triumph of Han Solo’s accidental revenge on Boba Fett, the sadness of Yoda’s passing, the surprise of Luke and Leia’s relationship, the excitement of speeder bikes, the suspense of the finale with Leia’s injury, Lando’s escape, and Luke’s fight to save his father. Despite that some believe that “Jedi is
Star Wars – the making of episode III documentary By SHANICE D’COSTA Pre-Production: When you watch this episode of Star Wars, what everyone is waiting to watch is the most important, exciting scene in the whole movie – The duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. When that’s up on the screen, you aren’t wondering how it’s made or how many hours it takes to make one sequence, a sequence that is virtually over within a few minutes. No one realises how much work actually goes into these films

Erik Jong Traci Wargo-Lehman July 20, 2017 GP: To Persuade SP: To persuade my audience why Star Wars, A New Hope is better than Star Wars The Force Awakens CI: Episode IV, A New Hope, reigns supreme when compared to The Force Awakens because the audience sees a flawed character progress through the “hero's journey”, there is a breath of brains to the Empire, and the story to A New Hope was original.

Joseph Campbell. He wrote a book called The Hero with One Thousand Faces, a novel containing a variety of stories that follow the steps of the Hero’s Journey. One famous creation that follows The Hero’s Journey is the science fiction film trilogy: Star Wars, created by George Lucas. Lucas depicts the struggles that take place along the path of adolescence through the story of a protagonist Luke Skywalker, who strives to become a Jedi Knight to show that Campbell’s Hero’s Journey reflects the struggles
Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate
Why Star Wars was such a Ground Breaking Movie There are many reason for ‘Star Wars’ being such a ground breaking movie. ‘Star Wars’ is a science fiction film, a science fiction includes new world and civilisations that are discovered and aliens are featured in a lot of science fiction films, the setting of the films are usually set in the future and where the world is in danger. There are some characters that are computer generated and they sue special effects for fighting scenes when they
the Star Wars movies. One of my earliest memories as a child was watching Episode IV: A New Hope over and over again. The first movie I ever saw in theaters was episode one, but me and my father walked out after the pod racing scene. Just like most fans, I think the prequels suck. It's hard for me to pick which one's my favorite. Each one of the originals has something I like like them, but if I had to pick it would be Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For a longest time, Empire Strikes Back was my
