In George Lucas` “StarWars IV: A New Hope.” Luke Skywalker is a quintessence of of an archetypal hero because he goes through initiation stage through distinct phases of separation, transformation and the return stage. Luke Skywalker begins his journey as farmer boy on a remote planet and becomes the hero of
Labyrinth and Star Wars It is amazing how in many stories a group of the most unlikely characters can overcome the most impossible odds. The battle of good vs. evil is reenacted in thousand upon thousand of movies. A lot of the times in these movies the group of heroes consist of very ordinary or odd characters, those who seem to possess few heroic traits. As seen in the movies Labyrinth and the first made Star Wars, a group of small and seemingly powerless characters can overcome great evils

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
Star Wars: A New Hope I watched the movie Star Wars : A New Hope. Although most of the movie was set in “a galaxy far far away” the setting still had some similarities to the Milky Way. For example, there is a sun like similar to our own, moons that revolve around planets, and also water (a necessary resource for all currently known life). But Star Wars also supports the ideas of advanced manned space travel and also different species living throughout space. Space travel in A New Hope is accomplished

What ensues as a result is both good and bad news for the Rebel Alliance as they end up gaining a new ally named Lando Calrissian but also losing

William Shakespeare’s play called Hamlet and George Lucas’ movie Star Wars may seem like two different stories and unrelated at first glance. Although the two have their differences, they are much alike because of their story’s common theme of revenge. The protagonist in each story, Luke Skywalker and Hamlet both have a journey they face in which complications arise and their characteristics are tested. But in the end both Hamlet and Luke have a very different outcome, showing how their characteristics
Solo, but she also does not appreciate them risking their lives in order to do so. She would not stop complaining the whole time after she is rescued, saying that the men had no plan and were unprepared. In addition to her nagging, she also insults Chewbacca, who helps save her from the Empire, calling him a walking carpet. Her poor attitude is unprovoked and frankly does not lead others to think she is a capable and kind heroine. Furthermore, Princess Leia owes Obi-Wan Kenobi, a past Jedi, Luke, and
While the Dharma of Star Wars may seem like it looks to simply compare the similarities between the practice of Buddhism and the Star Wars Universe, it does more than that. This book by Matthew Bortolin not only finds the places in which the two have similarities, but also where some Jedi are, from a Buddhist point of view, imperfect. First and foremost, however, the similarities between the two come in spades. Buddhism has many aspects to it and involves a variety of teachings, but the two central

Also, some of the scenes in the movie are interesting like the scene where Luke crashes his ship by Yoda’s hut. Although not everyone would agree my position is, that Star Wars is an

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
