Mentors In The Film Revenge Of The Sith

“Told him to do that not I did!” Why does everyone ignore me! If someone were to listen they would know how I feel and why I feel that way. 912 years old I am. Live this way I have, after the clone wars bear I could not the weight of all of the deaths. Still, to this day haunted I am by the nightmares of the past and the present. Help I still can, speak to you Luke I must. You must learn the ways of the force from my teachings. You must let go of your feelings Luke, let the force flow through you as it did me many years ago. As I sat there and watched The Empire Strikes Back for the 912th time I couldn't help but think why mentors use past experiences to help the hero on his journey? Why do different movies portray different mentors? Which

I took a look at my other films and my credible sources and found that the Fairy godmother and Odysseus each had a different type of mentor but they didn’t have two types of mentors. As I looked into these different types of mentors I was curious to see how they affected the hero in different ways. In the movie Revenge Of The Sith when Palpatine turns vader into a sith and twisted his mind to kill the one he loved, once Vader learns that he killed padme is is angered for the rest of his life.

In every book or movie with a goal you will find a mentor along the way. I have gone back to some of my favorite movies and seen the mentors in the movie. In Blazing Saddles the mentor Jim helps Bart achieve the goal of saving his town from the bounty hunters. In the movie Trading places Billy was an inner mentor at the same time as being a hero.

Even if it is hard to find the mentor or they don’t appear in the film more then once they are still considered a mentor. The mentor archetype as a whole is presented in every person today. Whether you gave someone the advice to go cheat on a test or you gave them the advice or training to fight crime, you are being a mentor either way. Take a moment and think about a time you gave someone advice on something because you were using them to get something bigger. That would be an example of a dark mentor because you are using the hero to get what you want. An example of a mentor we use everyday is an inner mentor, the foods you choose to eat, the homework you choose to do, or the test you choose the study for are all examples of an inner
