Some of the greatest heroes come from the most unexpected places, some with very questionable pasts; take Han Solo and Lando Calrissian from George Lucas’s epic saga, Stars Wars, and to be more specific, Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi. They were once smugglers and gamblers who gallivanted through the galaxy without a care in the universe. But for Han that changed soon after he met a young man named Luke Skywalker. He and Luke embark on a journey to save a princess, and even the galaxy. As for Lando, he changed his ways after losing the Millennium Falcon to Han in a card game. He served in several positions before becoming leader of Cloud City, though he did later betray his friend Han, but for good reason. Lando later redeems himself by …show more content…
In several movies, Han is torn between joining the Rebels and continuing to smuggle and mind his own business. Though he tries to leave more than once, he is always sucked back in one way or another. After helping the Rebels on several occasions and risking his life to help them, he is appointed general, and leads a team on Endor with the mission to destroy the shield generators for the second Death Star. Lando joined the Rebellion to find and to unfreeze Han, but he stayed even after they found Han. He was a general and was the leader of the Gold fleet in the Battle of Endor, which leads us into how they become heroes. During the Battle of Endor, Han leads a team on Endor. He and his team battle many Stormtroopers with the help of some small native creatures, called Ewoks. Han, his team, and the Ewoks ultimately defeat the Empire’s troops and destroy the shield generators protecting the second Death Star. This is where Lando comes in. Lando leads the Gold fleet into the Death Star in an attempt to launch a torpedo into the main reactor. After many failed attempts, Lando fires the shot that destroys the Death Star and leads to the end of the Empire, making both Han and Lando heroes. In conclusion, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, seem very different but in truth, both have questionable pasts and bad reputations, join the Rebellion, and become heroes. Although both are good people, it seems that Han Solo, though never truly stops smuggling, is a scoundrel with a heart of
They both fight for what they believe. Fighting for his family, Luke attempts to save his father “I can save him, I can turn him back to the good side, and I have to try.”
However the might and oppressive nature of the Empire inspired others to join the Imperial Military (Decker, 2005). The Alliance endured a difficulty when Echo Base, Alliance High Command's fundamental base of operations on the planet Hoth, was found by an Imperial Probe droid and invaded by Darth Vader's forces. In the following fight to get away, the Rebel's utilized their extensive ground-based ion weapon to debilitate a few of the Star Destroyers in orbit, successfully punching makeshift openings in the Imperial's blockade sufficiently long for Rebel Gallofree transports and others to quickly escape from the planet. The Alliance was compelled to dissipate, and stay portable until the end of the war inspired by a paranoid fear of losing another principle base. Along these lines the High Command was exchanged to the Rebel Fleet, utilizing Ackbar's lead Home One as their versatile base of operations. This was a dull time for the Alliance with the loss of men and equipment on Hoth and also being constrained into escaping the Empire. Likewise the hero, Han Solo was caught while in Lando Calrissian's neighborliness on Cloud City, along these lines solidified in carbonite, and sent to Jabba the Hutt on Tatooine by the abundance seeker Boba Fett. Moreover, the mystery shipyards in the Vergesso Space rocks were crushed by Darth Vader's fleet (Arnold,
Episode IV was set during a time of war between the Rebellion, the good side, and the Empire, which is considered the evil side. The science fiction story is about a young man, Luke Skywalker, who travels into space to fight against the Empire. Luke is from the planet Tatooine, a desert, where he farms water with his uncle. Luke’s uncle buys two droids, R2D2 and C3PO, who happen to have been involved in the war and worked for the rebellion. Luke discovers a recording in one of the droids of Princess Leia saying she needed help, and that sparks the beginning of his journey. He meets Ben, also known as Obi-Wan Kenobi, who becomes his mentor, and teaches him how to use “the force”. In Star Wars, “the force” is a magical way for people to control things using their unconscious minds. Luke sets out on a journey into space to rescue the princess and join the Rebellion in the war effort. Luke and Obi-Wan meet Han solo, a pilot, and ask him to take them into space. They plan to go to Alderaan, Princess Leia’s home planet; however, they are unintentionally sucked into the Death Star, the spacecraft and weapon of the Empire. They find out that Princess Leia is being held in the Death Star, and they plan to help her escape. While Han and Luke try to help Leia, Obi-Wan is fighting Darth Vader, the evil leader of the Empire. Unfortunately, Obi-Wan is killed by Darth Vader; although, Luke, Han and Leia escape the Death Star. They go to a Rebellion headquarter and find the weak spot of the Death Star.

While Clone Wars focused on physical and character development, while also having a longer series, Rebels prefers to stay where they are comfortable and move at a fast pace in an episode, thus ending the series faster. In some ways their differences help grow their popularity. The differences also show how Lucasfilm sometimes strays from normality and tries something new. Though they have different physical appearances, expectations, and they move at their own rate, they both easily please their intended audience with their characters and Star Wars relation. This shows how two items can be significantly different, but still be immensely

In order to be a successful hero you must be a highly motivated person. Without motivation you would not be very successful because you would have no ambition to try and make a difference in the world. I think Rodney Dangerfield is a great example of this because he started he career at just 15 and he died while he was in the middle of a movie. Also when his wife tried to make him quit he just blew their many years of happiness and divorced her. In one of his quotes he stated, “At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he’s seventy he still wants to reform the world” (Dangerfield 3).
One of the many appeals of Star Wars is its extensive cast of unique characters. Every character is written creatively; even the one-off minor characters have a special flair to them. The interactions between these characters are what drive the story and create this vast universe. Ultimately, Luke Skywalker is the main character of the original Star Wars trilogy. The three films tell his story and journey of becoming a Jedi Knight. Starting out as a naive young boy, throughout the course of the films Luke Skywalker matures into a full fledged Jedi Knight who is tasked with defeating the Empire.
The focus of this investigation is to determine if there is a correlation between emotional well-being and the rising cases of adolescent depressive disorders. This investigation will be limited to adolescents, as defined as the period of transition to adulthood, (reference) according to the World Health Organisation. The conversion from childhood to adulthood is known as the ‘tough years’ and appears to have become increasingly complex due to the social, economic, environmental and technological changes faced by today’s generation of young people.
In one of the original scripts of return of the Jedi has Luke being sure that Darth Vader was an evil bad guy and Han Solo dying in a heroic raid to the Death Star. Though the surprising thing is that Harrison ford the actor who played Han Solo most likely would have been fine with this since Ford was almost all of the time very snippy about Lucas’s script choices and was always making constant criticisms which most likely annoyed
