R2D2 is coloured very differently, he is not a metallic colour but pure colours, mainly white with parts of blue. The other characters we can connect to are the rebels. This is because the audience can feel their sense of fear, as they have to fight against the Storm Troopers. The rebels have no armour; the only things they have to protect them are their weapons. When the rebels know the Storm Troopers are going to forcefully enter the ship they line up along the walls that are facing the entrances. There is a long shot of a man crouching in an alcove of a corridor. He has his gun aimed at the door and is ready to fight, and in the foreground there is the back of another Rebel's head. He also has his gun aimed at the door ready to fire. When all the Rebels are in their places, there is a noise that sounds like a clamp being attached to the ships hull. There is a far shot of all the rebels looking up and listening, wondering what will happen next. As they all recompose themselves the audience makes eye contacted with a man. His facial expressions show he is slightly confused and scared. The camera now focuses on the door, a sound comes from the other side of it and each rebel raises his gun ready to fire.

Can two items be drastically different, but still attract a large audience? Most people would say yes, but is this limited to television programs? It’s definitely not, nor is it limited to the ownership by the same company. Star Wars productions with completely different aspects receive a great amount of popularity all the time. Star Wars the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, while similar in many ways, are vastly different programs. Star Wars the Clone Wars is an animated television program that was released in 2008 on cartoon network. While Star Wars Rebels is also an animated program, but was release in 2014 on Disney Channel. Despite their differences, the two shows are immensely popular and will create a legacy in the Star Wars universe. Most notably, the Clone Wars and Rebels differ in animation, improvement as time went on, and their length, yet the two come together to form a fan favorite production.

On May 25, 1977, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released. George Lucas created the science fiction series using Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey plot structure. Campbell created the plot structure by expanding on psychologist Carl Jung’s idea of the archetype. Archetypes are reoccurring symbols that can be found in literature, music, and art. Lucas found that Campbell’s Hero’s Journey was the perfect structure for the plot of Star Wars. The Hero’s Journey consists of ten steps which the protagonist, usually the hero, has to complete. Throughout the movie, George Lucas perfectly orchestrated all ten steps of the Hero’s Journey, and also used dozens of the archetypes that Campbell created.

"Where is he?!" The rough and gruff voice of one of the guards make Jimin smirk, twisting the gun lightly in his hands. As the footsteps neared closer to the hallway of the office, Jimin turned his body and shot the man in the chest, resulting in a garbled scream. With the thud of his body, Jimin jumped out of his hiding spot, sprinting down the long and empty hallway. It was nearly twelve at night, so luckily everyone was out by

The choice is theirs to cut off their leg and shoot a man or die. They chose not to die even though the consequence means someone else's demise. This is the premise for every saw movie made life and death decisions on a whim. All movies have this same dilemma or set of choices, maybe not as violent but still decisions need to be made.

Every motion and step already taken a hundred times before. Of course, this gets old after a while so the scenery changes with the people, but the steps are still
