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.

Star Wars defined the modern Science-Fiction film, but still to inspiration from old fairy tales.

Lucas clearly appreciates these fairy tales, the parallels aren't parodied or played for

Star Wars: The Force Awakens shows us something in an instant that took the franchise three movies to develop for Darth Vader.

A directors cut, is a specified edit of a version of a film (or video game, music video, etc.) that is suppose to represent a vision closer to that of the director. In 2004, director George Lucas had an interview with Associated Press, and states that the Star Wars series only represented “25 or 30 per cent” of what he wanted it to be. In the following paragraphs, I will show you how editing scenes differently can and will change the outlook of characters and the story of Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

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.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is final chapter in an epic story of good versus evil. The script was written by George Lucas and was released in theatres on May 25, 1983 (IMDb.com). It was the third film released in the Star Wars saga, following Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (IMDb.com).

While Clone Wars focused on physical and character development, while also having a longer series, Rebels prefers to stay where they are comfortable and move at a fast pace in an episode, thus ending the series faster.

) Star Wars The Force Awakens is an awesome and very interesting movie. At the end of the movie I had a lot of questions, and I started thinking and creating theories that connect this movie with the first ones. This article describes a fan theory of the origins of Rey, which is a very interesting topic since no one knows the truth. Since I was a kid, I have been watching all the movies, and I loved them. It’s easy to compare how lonely Rey was in Jakku and how lonely Junior was in the Reservation (The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian). She left Jakku pursuing her dreams, she was sick of that place, she wanted to become stronger. The same with Junior, he wanted to have a better education succeed in his life, and have a better future, and he left the Reservation in order to achieve that.
