Star Wars: The First Order

Role of music in Hollywood films has come of age as a complex and sophisticated site of cinematographic art. Greater combinations of sounds expressing a wider spectrum of tones, textures, and volumes can be heard at the movies more than ever before. Moreover, this era has witnessed an increase of different artistic and professional approaches to sound. Since the start of the Hollywood film industry, music has played a great role in the success of Hollywood films. Star Wars: A New Hope, commonly considered one of the greatest films of all time, launched the space era craze backed by lovely and memorable music. John Williams created the musical score of Star Wars, reviving the grand symphonic scores from the early film era with the leitmotif inspired by the works of Wagner and Steiner. Star Wars: A New Hope is a film with a successful storyline, inspiring characters, and amazing visual presentation with an unforgettable musical score. The musical score of Star Wars returns to the basic features of classical film score with the use of a symphony orchestra, postromantic musical style, wall-to-wall scoring, and thematic transformation.

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.

Much of the Star Wars ' credibility and popularity is owed to the richness of its fictional world as defined by writer/director George Lucas. In an interview, Lucas states that the original idea for Star Wars was modelled on the movies of his childhood, The “Flash Gordon movie serials and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars Series of books.” The mise-en-scène in Star Wars plays a vitally important role, so the question explored in this essay is how the use of mise-en-scène adds depth to the themes in Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope (1977), paying particular attention to ‘good versus evil’. This theme stands out in because it speaks to one of the oldest struggles of all, the battle between right and wrong.

Throughout time, stories of heroes have been told. Ranging from stories from Ancient Greece to Modern-day films. Russian folklorist Vladimir Propp in 1928 published Morphology of the Folktale detailing how all heroic stories can be divided into functions that must be followed. These 31 functions broke all heroic stories down into pieces that the hero must overcome. Starting from the abstention of a member close to the hero and ending in being wedded. I will be applying these units to the popular modern day film of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. In this film, I found that there are 24 of Vladimir Propp’s units used that define Luke Skywalker’s journey through the galaxy far far away.
