The Four Stages Of Star Wars

In the movie “Star Wars Episode Four: A New Hope”, the film George Lucas uses the archetypes the hero, the mentor, and the tyrant to convey the theme that we as humans grow and change as people because of possible people or events that occur throughout our lives. How this is shown is throughout the movie and through the main stars of the film that are well know as Luke Skywalker and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. In the film we see important events that perceive the change in the characters.

Star Wars IV A New Hope teaches us about life and ourselves in many ways such as death,loss,pain and courage are experiences that we will go through during our lives.

On May 25, 1977, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released. George Lucas created the science fiction series using Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey plot structure. Campbell created the plot structure by expanding on psychologist Carl Jung’s idea of the archetype. Archetypes are reoccurring symbols that can be found in literature, music, and art. Lucas found that Campbell’s Hero’s Journey was the perfect structure for the plot of Star Wars. The Hero’s Journey consists of ten steps which the protagonist, usually the hero, has to complete. Throughout the movie, George Lucas perfectly orchestrated all ten steps of the Hero’s Journey, and also used dozens of the archetypes that Campbell created.

“Do or do not,” says Yoda, in the acclaimed science fiction movie Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, “there is no try” (Empire). This quote is perhaps the most famous of the character’s, and perhaps one of the most famous in the whole franchise. It highlights an idea that the scene perpetuates: the fact you intend to do something doesn’t matter, only whether or not it is done. This is not a perfect metaphor for the application of knowledge, but it fits in rather easily. Without an effect, an application, all you have is abstract knowledge – that trying that Yoda denies – and in that way value has been diminished. Two areas of knowledge which especially highlight the values and limitations of that claim are the natural sciences and religion.

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

This film is idolized by millions Americans and foreigners and we can all thank one man for it. George Lucas. A lot of opinions have been formed about all six of the Star Wars movie some good some bad. Throughout this essay I give you data on Star Wars, background information on George Lucas the creator, George’s mindset on the changes of the originals and prequels, my judgement on fan reactions and George’s decisions, and of course the opinions of the beloved fans who made Star wars famous.

The archetypes in Lord of the Rings and Star wars that I have chose for this essay are the Loyal retainer, The task, and light v.s. Dark. I will do a comparison of each movie with the three archetypes. In Lord of the Rings the loyal retainer is Samwise Gamgee, and in Star Wars the loyal retainers are Han Solo, C-3PO and R2-D2. The next archetype is the task. The task in Lord of the Rings is for Frodo to keep the ring safe and to keep others away who are tempted by it, to use it against Sauron.

The original three Star Wars films use the theme of individuality as a means of creating a fun mythical universe, as well as to create a contrast between the good and evil sides of the civil war. The original films celebrate individuality, since the Rebels glorify and utilize their individuality to destroy the Empire, which generally tries to suppress individuality within its army. The final scene of the original Star Wars film displays this perfectly. The members of the Rebel attack team each have titles and nicknames, such as Wedge, Biggs, and even Porkins. Each member is unique in their own way, and their individuality gives them an edge over the highly organized machine of the Empire. Leia runs the Rebel

External influences may guide an individual towards their destiny, but only the person themselves can attain their full potential once they believe in their own ability to succeed. As American positivist author Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy” (Brainy Quote). This can be seen in George Lucas’ Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is an isolated young farmer on the planet Tatooine who is propelled in an unexpected mission to save the Rebel Alliance Leader, Princess Leia, as they struggle to defeat the Galactic Empire. To that effect, when analyzing George Lucas’ film from a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, Luke is the main character

George Lucas’ Star Wars saga is an extremely well known cultural phenomenon with a fan base spanning generations. The saga contains themes of nationalism, fascism, and colonialism just to name a few. The original series also displays the theme of The Hero’s Journey an idea taken from mythologist Joseph Campbell’s book The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I argue that the controlling force of the galaxy The Galactic Empire serves as a form of settler colonialism among almost all planets in the Star Wars universe. I give brief historical context from the period of the 1970s when George Lucas was writing the first film in order to give an understanding of the events that could have shaped the themes shown in the films.
