Peter Cushing's Ethical Dilemma In Star Wars

     The First of the three part series, Star Wars, is the tale of a band of

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.

The Academy award winning movie Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, originally released as Star Wars, is a 1977 action packed, fanciful, thrilling space opera. Ably directed by George Lucas and distributed by Twentieth Century, Star Wars: A New Hope is among the most successful and influential films of all time. As well as, being selected to be preserved by the Library of Congress as part of its National Film Registry The first of 8 films in the Star Wars Saga is jam-packed with aliens, futuristic technology and supernatural abilities, such as the Millennium Falcon, Choobaka and of course, ‘The Force’.

What movie franchise has been the most powerful film franchise in history? Who could forget traveling through space fighting evil, using the force, and defeating the empire? Yes I am talking about Star Wars. The franchise includes 6 movies and countless games, toys, and books. Now I know y'all must be thinking “she only thinks star wars in so important cause it’s her favorite movie or she’s a geek or something like that” Well to be honest I have never in my life seen any of the movies. I’ve seen bits and pieces but none of them the whole way through. Although that it true Star Wars has influenced my life. Star Wars is and will be for years to come the most influential, powerful, and profitable franchise in history.

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.

“Do or do not,” says Yoda, in the acclaimed science fiction movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, “there is no try” (Empire). This quote is perhaps the most famous of the character’s, and perhaps one of the most famous in the whole franchise. It highlights an idea that the scene perpetuates: the fact you intend to do something doesn’t matter, only whether or not it is done. This is not a perfect metaphor for the application of knowledge, but it fits in rather easily. Without an effect, an application, all you have is abstract knowledge – that trying that Yoda denies – and in that way value has been diminished. Two areas of knowledge which especially highlight the values and limitations of that claim are the natural sciences and religion.

After the famous intro “a galaxy far far away” the movie does not hesitate to start things off fast, setting you right in the middle of a intergalactic space battle from the point of view of our two favorite characters, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The action filled scenes of the movie proves to be most prominent of the time, using CGI to their fullest ability. CGI allows the movie choreographer to enhance movie scenes, boosting the overall reality and intensity. The final duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan shows off the great use of special effects, including a hellish planet theme for the audience. The performance shows off high quality light saber fights, breaking down facilities over a river of lava, over a river of lava and falling objects from all over leading into a great lava fall. The movie expands over a variety of worlds such as the breathtaking city of Coruscant, the green natural world of the Wookies, the hell world of Mustafar and many more. The great use of technology gives me more than a satisfying feeling when compared to it’s

While actors can make an audience feel many different emotions with their work, the viewers fail to remember these performers are just like them. Aside from the makeup and expensive wardrobe, actors can strongly influence millions on and off screen. Born October 21, 1956, Carrie Fisher grew up surrounded by spotlight and fame radiating from her mother and father: Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Carrie, more famously remembered for her role as Princess Leia from the Star Wars franchise, is a prime example of an actress who contributed more to the world than her entertainment skills. She was an advocate for mental health, believed in equality for everyone, and taught people, especially women, to be strong. As a result of her open mindedness

The creator and director of Star Wars, George Lucas, was incredibly successful for his movie series, but even more successful for its overall purpose: to sell toys to ten-year old boys. The use of ethos, pathos, and logos are very abundant in this movie. Ethos, Greek for “character”, is anything referring to or relying on the author’s credibility. Pathos, Greek for “emotional”, is anything that makes you feel emotion. Logos, Greek for “word”, is anything that makes you think. By using these he was able to persuade the audience into thinking, feeling, and loving Star Wars, making the audience want to purchase figurines.

The ideas presented in the Star Wars Documentary relate to my journey when it comes to the hero's journey, the good and evil choice, and the uncontrollable event that sets life in motion. For starters, the hero’s journey, which is based off mythology and history, represents the transition between one identity to another. For my life this is represented from when I was a little kid to now. Going from a child, who has fun and nothing else to worry about, to a teen in high school who has to worry about grades, relationships, and careers. Secondly, the good and evil choice is seen in my life, just not as literally as in Star Wars. My good and evil choice was made in middle school. I could have chosen to slack off, never do work, but I chose to

Most children and young adults today have been exposed to Star Wars in some degree. With many people having at least some exposure to social media or online shopping, it is hard to not know what a lightsaber is, or not read “No, I am your father”, from Darth Vader, while breathing heavily through an imaginary mask. But even with modern day technology, and the unprecedented level of exposure to the world it provides, people are struggling more and more with understanding right and wrong. How can our children know how to work smartphones, but not know why it’s wrong to punch a classmate? Or is it wrong?

From flying across the galaxy to massive space battles and interactions between multiple species of aliens and other worldly creatures. just about everyone nowa something about George Lucas’s famous space sage Star Wars and has at least watched a few of the movies and so,e people may even think they know everything about this movie and it's creators but most likely there are things you do not know about these famous and successful movies so today I am going to talk about six fun facts that you most likely do not know about Star Wars.

Saving Private Ryan is a film staged within World War II, during which an incredible mission to locate and bring home Private Ryan is launched in behind enemy lines within Europe. The return of Private Ryan is hoped to increase moral in the homeland and benefit combat efforts. Captain Miller is in charge of the reluctant team tasked with the rescue mission of Private Ryan, not knowing where he is at or if he is even alive. The company finally finds Private Ryan even after several enemy encounters and finding another soldier named “Private Ryan”. Once Private Ryan is located they give him the news that his three brothers were killed while fighting in the war. Private Ryan chooses not to go home and continues to fight in the war.

George Lucas' film Star Wars There are many different theories to Star Wars, which attracted millions of viewers. These theories made Star Wars what it was, and to some people still is. Made in1977, it was the first of it's kind by being new, using aliens and special effects, Star Wars created a large audience. Then it was re-released twenty years later, after improvement in special effects and another character was added.

The top of this ethical analysis will cover the movie Saving Private Ryan, which is about fictional events that occurred during the Normandy invasion in World War II (IDMB, n.d.). During Saving Private Ryan, a secretary at the War Department typing death notices for soldiers killed in action realizes that three letters will be sent to the same family. She elevates the issue to her supervisors, who determine that three of the family’s four brothers have been killed in action. The whereabouts of the fourth brother (Private James Francis Ryan) is unknown. The issue is eventually elevated up to General Marshall, who cites a letter that President Lincoln wrote to a family in similar circumstances during the Civil War. In the referenced letter, President Lincoln states remorse for the family’s sacrifice and hopes they find consolation in the son that was returned home (YouTube, 2014). Based on this anecdote, General Marshall orders that Private Ryan be found and brought home to his family.
