Star Wars : Return Of The Jedi

I remember I watched the Revenge of the Sith for the first time in 2005. I grew up watching the original trilogy with my dad, who has always been a fan of Star Wars. We weren’t overly fond of the prequel series, but he still brought the movie home from Blockbuster and turned it on for all of us to watch. Anakin Skywalker, the protagonist, speaks to his wife for the first time since he turned over to the dark side. “I don’t want to lose you the way I lost my mother. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of, and I’m doing it for you—to protect you…Don’t you see? We don’t have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor. I can overthrow him and together you and I can rule

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.

Star Wars: A New Hope directed by George Lucas was produced in 1997 and has many examples of archetypal patterns. Joseph Campbell was an american mythologist and he believed in something called a monomyth or “a hero’s journey” which was a theory that all stories are fundamentally the same. Campbell believed that these patterns were found in all stories and wrote a story called “A Hero with a Thousand Faces” he talks about these types of archetypal patterns found in all stories. The idea of a heros stages of their journey and how the hero goes through stages of transformation. The movie Star Wars: A New Hope fits into Campbell’s archetypal pattern and in doing so provides a certain truth about being separated from Luke’s old life and being

Despite once being united, the Sith and Jedi have grown drastically different from one another. Their philosophy, use of the Force, and physical traits make them practically opposites. It is these differences that continue to draw the two organizations into conflict with each other. These differences have caused thousands of years of bloodshed, and it will continue until the end of

Furthermore, the character archetypes of father-son and allies develop a hopeful tone and present the theme that good triumphs over evil in Star Wars. In Episode VI, Luke struggles with the realization that Darth Vader, one of the cruelest villains in the galaxy, is his father. Due to Obi-wan hiding Luke from Darth Vader when he was a baby, there is a tension between the two becausewhen Luke is grown up as they do not understand each other and holdave completely different ideologies. Luke ongoingly attempts to turn Darth Vader away from the dark side and back into the courageous Jedi he was before. Eventually, Luke succeeds in changing Darth Vader back into Anakin, the Jedi he once was, and convinces him to fight against the emperor. The

Star Wars was originally released in 1977 and became one of the largest grossing films of all time. George Lucas developed two additional sequels and a prequel that developed the extremely successful franchise.

Stars Wars: The Force Awakens is one of my personally favorite books, not just because it was written by Alan Dean Foster but because it holds many qualities that most books do not possess. The book is set 30 years after the events of

A good story, however long or short, always concludes with a great finale. In the film Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Richard Marquand, 1983), the final fight between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker is legendary, and one of the best finales of any movie in its era. Return of the Jedi’s finale is the final fight between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, a perfect mix of great Mise-en-scène, contains a perfect understanding of the technical aspects of film, and the depth of the content within the film is extraordinary.

Conventionally, in hero movies, women are portrayed as weak, and vulnerable figures, waiting for the the man to come to their rescue. On the contrary, in Star Wars Vll, The Force Awakens, directed by J.J. Abrams, a female is put in the spotlight. The movie presents a social justice topic of gender equality. Being the hero throughout the film, the leading lady Rey, is an independent woman who has been living on her own, and providing for herself since she was young. She can actually trade the droid for plenty of money; however, she decides to stand out for justice and protects the droid all the time. Obviously, she is a woman full of integrity.

“ A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away” there was a battle. Mostly everyone knows these words are from Star Wars. There are currently seven Star Wars movies. They all have good guys and bad guys. The Dark Side are the bad guys and the Jedi are the good guys.

Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi was released in December 2017 with much fanfare and generally positive critical reviews. As a lifelong fan of the Star Wars franchise, I was thrilled to see the next continuation in the saga and find out what direction it would go. After leaving the theater I was duly impressed. The movie featured some beautiful visuals and adequate plot twists to keep the audience interested. It also provided some surprisingly humorous moments that added comic relief although it did feel somewhat forced at times. However, despite the good, I had a few issues with the movie in general. The biggest flaw was its treatment Supreme Leader Snoke. He could have been an interesting character; however, there is little to explain him
