May 25, 1977, was the day a whole new world of sci-fi movies made an appearance - the first movie of the beloved Star Wars franchise came out. This series of movies required several components, like acting and music. Months of preparation and production made Star Wars one of the greatest. Star Wars, just like in any movie, needed actors that wouldn’t just perform their best, but also work by themselves to memorize lines. Each person had a part, and, whether big or small, each part was important. Often, the actors talk about what they had to accomplish during the movie-making process. Mark Hamill explains in a BBC Interview that often he had to imagine what was going on in the background, which was actually a blue screen (YouTube). Along with knowing their lines, they also had to know how to act. For example, in The Force Awakens, Rey is a girl who is adventurous and brave, which means Daisy Ridley had to act out those qualities in the movie. …show more content…
There was also an audition of roles that the actors had to try out for. In the BBC Interview with Mark Hamill, he also explained that he had to audition for the part of Luke Skywalker. He started acting when he was 12, went to a performing arts school, and his first feature film was Star Wars. To get into a movie series as big as Star Wars was a big deal. During the production of the film, as shown in the ABC News interview with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, there were lots of people contributing to making the movie as great as it can be
People saw Luke Skywalker first in “Star Wars: A New Hope” as a complaining, adolescent farmboy. In the first movie, fans found him irritating to be heard. Stuart Carapola, writer and owner of www.StarWarsWavelength.com, says in his discussion blog reply, “Yes, when we first met Luke, he was an immature, impulsive, and headstrong child who thought he knew everything and nearly got himself killed because he blew off Yoda and Obi-Wan’s warning and went looking for Vader.” As he would complain about “not getting what he wants” or “mocking someone’s words”. Near the end of the movie, Luke Skywalker astonishingly knew how to fly an X-wing(spaceship), killed off many enemy TIE fighters, and destroyed the Death Star. It is quite unusual for someone
George Lucas was a very credible director because he was influenced by the small town he grew up in Modesto. According to The Secret History of Star Wars, “Lucas’ father felt that George never quite measured up to his ideals of what a good son should be.” (Kiminski 9) Lucas seems to be comparing himself to the main character in Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker. Both Luke and Lucas grew up in small towns, didn’t have a strong relationship with their father (or in Luke’s case, didn’t know their father), and they both thought they would never leave the small town they resided in.
First of all, Star Wars arrived when the teen culture was taking over. Also, Star Wars became the first cult movie mega hit. Lucas also sold his company to Disney for $4billion dollars. At first women didn't like Star Wars because of the way it portrays women.

Star Wars was not the original blockuster, Episode IV came out two years late to get that title, that title goes to Jaws. Jaws, much like Star Wars, caused the shift from the film industries typical, personal filmmaking, to a much faster paced, big budget movies, aimed towards
George Lucas 's Star Wars, is one of America 's most prominent modern epics. The same can be said for Joss Wedon 's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They share many similarities, most notably in their respective hero 's journey. Both stories are told through modern mediums, television and cinema, rather than clay tablets or written word. This change of medium is a product of the time period the works were created in, and reflects the massive technological advances of the last century.

First, we will begin by exploring the psyche and quest of the series' main protagonist, Luke Skywalker. In a profound sense throughout the series, but particularly in the first film, A New Hope, Luke undergoes the male coming of age journey that is a staple of literature and an analogue of a man's development in real life. When the film first picks up, we are introduced to Luke as an adolescent living and working on his aunt and uncles moisture farm on Tatooine, a desert planet with very little going for it in terms of natural resources, material wealth, or human contact.

The three films tell his story and journey of becoming a Jedi Knight. Starting out as a naive young boy, throughout the course of the films Luke Skywalker matures into a full fledged Jedi Knight who is tasked with defeating the Empire.
