The Hero's Journey In Star Wars

Even at the beginning of the film it is clear that the archetypal hero’s journey is being portrayed due to various symbols, events and lines from characters which help identify the ordinary world as well as the call to adventure. Starting from Luke’s home planet of Tatooine, which is a desolate and barren desert. In literature a desert usually symbolizes dullness, hopelessness and an overall lack of excitement; a classic case of foreshadowing in that Luke has a desire to escape this empty and lifeless humdrum. Later in the film the audience is introduced to Luke Skywalker, a plain farm boy who is caught in a seemingly never ending routine. Day after day Luke spends his time performing chores and aiding

The movie Star Wars is the perfect example of a modern hero’s journey. Luke Skywalker wanted to stay home with his uncle and tend the farm, but C3PO and R2D2 needed help so he went with them to defeat Darth Vader. In the end Luke defeated Vader’s space station and was a savior or hero to everyone. Although some people may say that Star Wars is not a good example of a hero’s journey because it does not show some part of the hero’s journey. I believe that Luke Skywalker is undertaking the hero’s journey process since he undergoes every step including, departure, journey, and return. To conclude, I believe that Luke Skywalker is the perfect example of a hero.

In 2014, I attended the Hero's journey summer program in hope to discover myself and to become a better man. My father who has attended the program many of times introduced me to the foundation and thought I should give it a try under the Young Men’s program with 8 other teens from around the world. Nervous but also excited about discovering who I truly was and what brotherhood really meant I found myself becoming the best of friends with these guys for 7 days. During the trip I learned that in relationships it is not only about how much you have in common, but that you trust each other and can work together as one. I could not tell you those guys last name or their favorite video game but I can tell you that I knew they had my back no matter what.

A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

Let me tell you a short story about this boy. It was 9 o'clock in the afternoon when his parent asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said with enthusiasm "I want to be a doctor", not knowing what it is. After that we just went about our days. Ten years later, he's a senior in junior high school getting ready to embark on the road where many have failed.

All I want from you is to pass your class of high grades , graduate and go on to college to pursue your career to become a doctor." This kid heard a lot of things when it comes to becoming a doctor and

Three grueling days of marching. until we arrived at a small village. To the center plaza we marched, many of the frightened and confused villagers had gathered there. The legate leading the legion began reading a memoir written by a team of scouts on the horrid atrocities the Hunnic hordes have committed. We needed their support in the fight so they would agree to supply us with the provisions that had been rapidly depleting. Just before he had finished a scout rode into the plaza bloodied and battered he warned us of the Huns and there overwhelmingly large force before finally dying of his injuries. The villagers began to panic and some fled with their belongings. The Legate tried to comfort them telling them we can ensure their safety. We fortified the town built an castra.

I awoke in my bed, hearing my phone go off. I pressed the green button in the middle wearily. “ HEY!” the phone seemed to scream at me. It was just my friend Paul, thank goodness. Even though he was two years younger than me, he was still a good friend. “ Are you up? Come on, kid! I’ve got a surprise for you!” I got dressed, fixed my hair, and ran out the door. Paul, was standing there with the story that we had written together a few weeks ago. I wondered why, but the thought raced away when she spoke: “You’re NEVER going to believe this, Kiana! Our story is going to be made into a MOVIE!” My eyes widened, my smile was so big my face hurt. “ You're kidding!” I joked. Paul smiled even bigger. “ You betcha! You know I’ve got George Lucas’s email, right?” I nodded. George Lucas was the one who had written and directed all the original Star Wars movies. Me and
