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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The bosses continue to belittle and derail Luke upon his return and we begin to see a change in Luke’s reaction. Before, he would respond with relentless opposition and charm, but after the second attempt, Luke seems nearly defeated. He begins to buckle down and obey even the most ridiculous tasks he’s told to accomplish and even tells one of the bosses that they don’t need a reason to kick him. Luke is seemingly disappointed with himself and sees his last attempt as a failure rather than another challenge. He becomes irritated with the inmates and insists they “go out there [themselves, and] stop feeding off [him]”.

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.

A New Hope first introduces Luke on a sandy desert on the treacherous planet of ¨Tatooine¨ where he is accompanied by R2-D2 a highly intelligent droid, and C-3P0 who is also a brilliant droid that can

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.

In a galaxy far far away, in a time long long ago there was a civil war going on between the Imperial Senate and The Rebels. Princess Leia, a member and leader of The Rebels, was aboard her ship when it was attacked by the Imperial Senate. The ship was searched and she was taken as a captive. They imprisoned her because she got a hold of blueprints of the Death Star, a ship that the Imperial Senate made and is capable of destroying a planet, so they wanted her to tell them where she hid it. Fortunately, before The Princess got captured, she hid the plans in her droid R2-D2 and sent him off in a little ship with his closest companion C-3PO on a mission to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and give him the plans.

Scene 2 R2-D2 has to find out the system of the Death Star. As he processes through it he finds that there are 7 beams to turn off. Leia is to be sentenced to death and he likes Leia. He has to convince Han to help him. Han agrees after involving money. They go and tell the droids to lock the door.

Set approximately 10 years after The Phantom Menace, this installment in the beloved saga sees Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker (newcomer Hayden Christensen) act as bodyguards to Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) who now serves as the senator from Naboo.
