Star Wars: A New Hope

The Force Awakens is the newest episode of Star Wars that has been released in theatres, and takes place many years after the fall of the Galactic Empire. The Resistance, the new Rebel Alliance, now faces a new threat, the First Order. In the hopes of defeating this threat, they look to Luke Skywalker, who’s whereabouts are unknown. Rey, the capable and independent protagonist, rescues a BB-8 unit and discovers it holds the missing piece of the map that leads to Luke. Together, along with Finn, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, they must find a way to deliver the piece of the map to The Resistance and stop the First Order’s plans of annihilation.

Instead of continuing to try to push or muscle his way out he calls R2D2 and C3PO for help. With the help of the droids Luke and his friends escape the Death Star successfully and save princess Leia. Not only

This can be seen as a return home for Rey, as her ties on Jakku have all but disappeared while the Resistance has essentially taken her as one of their own. On the other hand, an analysis of the final scene reveals more than just the close of an epic journey. After returning to the base, R2-D2 suddenly boots up to reveal the missing piece of the map to Luke Skywalker. Rey takes the Millennium Falcon to follow the map to an island-filled planet, where she dramatically climbs the steps of ancient temple ruins to encounter one Luke Skywalker. Without saying a word, she presents Skywalker with the lightsaber.

The Rebellion was a rebel group formed against the Galactic Empire, the latter of which controls the universe. The emperor of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader, rules the totalitarian dictatorship with an iron fist. The Empire had committed many crimes, which would be seen nowadays as crimes against humanity. Darth Vader had destroyed planets, either by devastating the ecology by killing the vast majority of the species on the planet or just simply blowing up the planet to bits. The Rebellion did not commit many crimes, aside from blowing up the space station known as the Death Star and killing everyone inside, which actually was beneficial to the universe. He is part of the rebellion because he saved a key player of the Rebellion, and at the end of the movie, Luke was granted a special award for helping the Rebellion, and in later movies, we see him as being part of the Rebellion, so we know that he is definitely part of the

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.

When he shows no sign of confrontation, the inmates see that as losing their source of entertainment. They begin to doubt Luke, everyone except Dragline who throughout the film showed nothing but a father-like pride in Luke. Luke is fully aware that he is no longer the favorite among his peers, but he continues to show the bosses how reformed he has become and it seems he begins to gain their trust. This is where Luke’s final attempt at escape comes in. He manages to take advantage of the bosses’ vulnerability, and uses one of their trucks as the getaway vehicle.

She is not only a prominent leader but also occupies a position of political power. Leia holds the plans to destroy the Death Star and demonstrates her intelligence and quick thinking by entrusting these plans to the droid R2-D2 when Darth Vader ambushes her ship. This action ultimately sets in motion the events that lead to the Rebels' victory. Leia's self-driven and determined personality is evident in her leadership role within the Rebel Alliance, showcasing that women can be as courageous, powerful, and influential as men. Her respect and authority within the group are clear when she commands Han Solo, "Listen, I don't know who you are, or where you came from, but from now on, you will do as I tell you.

The entire plot of Return of the Jedi is the conclusion of a story of a young man and his friends trying to find their way in a battle between good and evil. Throughout the film, the characters each have their own, unique, inner struggle while all fighting in the same galactic battle. While the theme of darkness versus light is strong, there are also hints of other themes, such as power, corruption, love and sacrifice. All of these components are set in front of the backdrop of a nonstop battle between the freedom seeking Rebels and the evil Galactic Empire.

Through the ages there have been constant struggles to resolve disputes. However, as we can see through our history, sometimes peaceful resolutions are not possible because of misunderstandings, corruption, power, or greed. In these cases, one alternative to settling the dispute is war. Technology plays an extremely important role in war, and this is clearly demonstrated in Star Wars. Star Wars possesses similarities to our own culture and with the vast amounts of technology represented in the film, it is an ideal choice to better understand our own society.

In Star Wars, the author uses conflict to teach the reader that coming together for a common goal is powerful when Wedge says “You did it! You did it!”Wedge was shouting over and over. “I think they went right in.”. This quote shows that Luke, Leia, Han Solo, & Chewbacca finally accomplished their common goal when Luke destroyed the Death Star after being chased by Darth Vader in a Tie-Fighter.
