Star Wars Research Paper

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.

Due to the great commercial success of the Star Wars series, George Lucas was given the opportunity to rerelease Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope along with the two other movies in the Star Wars Trilogy. Fox spent a reported $15 million on giving

Star wars is a story of an ordinary boy turned extraordinary what each person in society aspires to be. For example. Luke is a meak and unassuming farmer he harvests water a necessity for his dismal desert environment. Luke has large aspirations to be a pilot for no other than the empire itself. Luke unaware of is ever changing environment will lose everything just to gain it back. The death of his childhood home and his uncle and aunt only pushes him out of his comfort zone to live in a world that he doesn’t know about. Obi won conbi his mentor and guide through life's trials give him hope when he teaches Luke of the faith in the force. Through battle and decisions the choices Luke makes are the same ones that Inspire us today. Luke is no

Star War hate it or love it, it has captured the minds and imaginations of millions of people. I remember watching Episode IV A New Hope when I was a little kid and was memorized by it. Loving everything about the movie from space travel to the mystery of the force. But now I lost all hope in Star Wars after the last two newest movies which are The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. In A New Hope you can actually see the journey of the hero, which follows Luke’s Journey from being a teenager to a man by the actions he took throughout the movie. In the new movie the force awakens Rey is supposed to be the hero and has to experience events in her life like Luke that will change her to be a hero that she was born to be. Yet after watching the newest movies I feel like there wasn’t much of the hero’s journey, and that they gave her powers that seem unrealistic for her level of training. Even Anakin Skywalker “the chosen one” had to train for years and he was barely able to fight legendary fighters like Count Dooku or Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ever wonder what the third highest grossing film EVER is? Think it could be a movie only so called “nerds” would like? Or one of the biggest classics of the 19th century? Star wars is a movie loved by millions. Star Wars The Force Awakens made over 2 billion dollars. Just a few hundred million away from #1. Avatar. Star Wars The Force awakens is part of the star wars galaxy created by the famous LucasArts. This is the 7th movie of the series, and there is more to come. It takes place a long time ago in a galaxy Far Far away. There is galactic empires. People with powers and swords that can cut through anything. It is very interesting. But the takeaway from the film is fear. Fear is within every single person in the world being a person with

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… there were two exceptional leaders by the name of Darth Vader, and Luke Skywalker. As many know, these two men are the leading antagonist and protagonist of the immensely popular franchise, Star Wars. For those that do not know, Darth Vader is the villain who leads a heinous army known as The Empire. Through methods of fear and intimidation, Vader fabricates a mega-weapon capable of destroying entire planets known as the Death Star. Luke Skywalker defies all odds as he uses the methods of stimulation and team building to try to lead the Rebels in an uprising against the tyrants. Each of these leaders is very successful in their own unique methods.

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.

Star Wars is a series that has been around since the late 1970s. When you watch the very first one “Star Wars A New Hope” which was released in May of 1977 and compare it to the new one “Star Wars The Force Awakens” which was released last year you will notice that there storylines are very similar. When it comes to similarities of these 2 films it isn't just the characters that are the same. In “The New Hope” R2D2 has a map that shows them how to blow up the Death Star. Their main focus is to keep the droid “R2D2” alive because he is the only one who has a map that shows them how to set off a chain reaction and blow up the Death Star.

The legendary Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of The Rings Series and The Hobbit movies, jumped at the chance to see the world famous super villain’s newest movie scene. Rogue One, the newest edition the the Star Wars franchise, hit theaters in December of 2016 and made a box office killing, mainly because of the notable appearance of Darth Vader. The trailers leading up to the movie hinted at his astounding feature and many Star Wars fans were desperate to see some of the action first hand. One of these people just so happened to be Peter Jackson, an avid fan of the Original Trilogy. Edwards knew Jackson was in town so he called Jackson and asked him if he wanted to see the newest (and possibly the last) Darth Vader scene which, of

Many families have grown up watching George Lucas’s “Star Wars” franchise. When fans saw that Disney bought Lucasfilms, fans had a small hope that Disney would continue the “Star Wars” franchise. Their dreams came true when Disney released a trailer for “Star Wars the Force Awakens.” Even with mixed reviews, most fans disappointed after the movie came out on December 18th, 2015. On April 16th, 2016, Disney released a teaser trailer for another “Star Wars” movie called “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” This movie would be a prequel and a spinoff about how the Rebels acquired the plans to destroy the Death Star. This made fans excited because all the previous “Star Wars” movies have been about the Skywalker lineage and this movie shows us a new kind of “Star Wars,” a more grittier, darker, war like movie, and without a Jedi. The movie is from the point of view of Jyn Erso, daughter of Galen Erso; Galen is a enslaved Imperial scientist, who has secretly put a weakness on the Death Star. While Jyn on was freed from Imperial imprisonment by the Rebels; then is asked to retrieve her father message with help of Rebels and various others, get his plans on how to destroy the Death Star, and finally get those plans to the Rebels. Even though fans were excited some were afraid this movie might be a flop like “Star War the Force Awakens” was to

Disney spent lots of money on advertising on that movie. There were many ads on TV, and merchandise was everywhere. Now, they’re even making a whole section in Disney World dedicated to Star Wars. This is all going to attract a way larger audience. Of course, advertisements and merchandise isn’t cheap, but but the profit you’re going to make is probably going to be higher.

When I was a kid, my favorite Star Wars movie was Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. To be more accurate, my favorite sequence in any Star wars film was the battle of Geonosis. The years between this film and its sequel were spent reenacting the battle with my action figures. Despite my love for that fight, even at my young age I realized the rest of the film wasn’t as good as the climax. The same holds true now, as Attack of the Clones is only marginally better than its predecessor.

Since this is a sci-fi movie, you know there’s going to be computer generated images (CGI). It is a fictional universe after all, so what better way to bring it to life than CGI? CGI is a very useful technology, but that doesn’t mean it should be used for almost every single scene. CGI is just a tool to make the movie look more aesthetically pleasing. Star Wars: The Force Awakens used way too much and should’ve been using it more sparingly. The film made the Star Wars universe seem too fake and didn’t make the audience feel immersed in it. The sheer amount of CGI portrayed how sloppy and lazy the producers were when it came to building actual sets. But the quality of the CGI was very
