Star Wars: An Analysis

The concepts we use shape the conclusions we reach because the concepts we use are the routes we take to where we get. The route an individual takes will ultimately and completely determine the conclusion that person reaches. The routes we take and the conclusions we reach are one hundred percent dependant on each other, taking one route of thought will get you to a completely different mental conclusion than another. This led me to an important discovery of self-knowledge.
By claiming that “concepts we use shape our conclusions” there is an assumption that our conclusions cannot be automatically known or discovered without some sort of past experience that is used as a trigger. The question next is determining whether this can always be true

The Empire’s concept of a great galaxy is one with strict order and under the rule of Emperor Palpatine, the Relebellions view of a great galaxy is one with equal rights for all free of the death and destruction that the Empire uses to control the galaxy and shape the galaxy into what it wants. These vastly different conclusions that both sides have fully demonstrate once again that the concepts of thinking used by e?C?Nf dictate the conclusion that one …show more content…
Throught the first and second movies Anakin is the Apprentice of Obi Wan Kenobi. The two meet when Anakin is little and Anakin grows up learning from the best Jedi knight and most noble in all the galaxy. Anakin's concept of what being a successful Jedi Knight clearly differs from what Obi Wan’s concept of being a great Jedi knight is. This concept difference is clear, but becomes even more and more pronounced as time goes on, Obi Wan’s idea of being a good Jedi is to promote justice throughout the galaxy, and Anakin’s is to become powerful. This concept split ultimately leads Anakin's Concepts about being a jedi to align more with the dark side of the force, and in the third movie he splits from Obi Wan Kenobi and the two fight almost to the death. This captivating movie scene once again shows that the means control the end, or in other words that Concepts used shapes the conclusions we

    We can again see this in Star Wars games like Jedi Knight and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic where the player starts off as a normal person and slowly rises in fame and importance till they are the center of the galaxy's attention. This occurs similarly to the films, as in the films Luke Skywalker turns out to be Darth Vader/Anakin's son, in games like Knights of the Old Republic, the player character turns out to be a famous Sith lord thought dead and lost. (Schellenberg) While again this is an ancient trope, it is important to see how Star Wars built off of itself in its games, these licensed and Lucasfilm games not simply functioning as quick cash grabs, but instead thoughtful well-built games that took from their source material…

    2. Three Problems for Kant I should note here that in this context one should also discuss "the affection problem," which concerns the issue of whether the Kantian must illegitimately apply the category of causation to the thing in itself. Atlas takes this to be a central problem that moved Maimon. That there is a tie between this problem and the myth of the given problematic should be clear from what I say about the latter.…

    my personal favorite story is the story of Star Wars, but not just the movie, the story of how a ragtag team of film makers made an amazing classic still alive today. The story of star wars begins in the California home of George Lucas where he began to capture the romance and adventure that he saw in old movies that he watched as a young boy as well as the heroics of the great Flash Gordon TV series. so george began to write the script for a screenplay that would one day be known as "Star Wars" Before George along with a crew of over 100 men and women could begin this interstellar epic they would need people to play the roles of the characters. The young hero, Luke Skywalker was played by Mark Hamil, a newbie to show business. the mentor and guide of the hero is the old and wise member of a long forgotten order of knights know as the Jedi, his name is Obi-Wan Kenobi played by Sir Alec Guiness.…

    One of modern society’s favourite pastimes is watching and comparing films. Films have the ability to make us laugh, cry, or even think while touching our hearts no matter what the genre is. Contemporary media genres have dramatically changed since classical literary times, which divided theatrical and literature into groups of drama and comedy, giving birth to genres. Films have become difficult to place into a specific genre, as “any theme may appear in any genre” (Chandler 1997, p. 1) resulting in genres blending continuously. For example, a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) film is classified in that genre due to its situational context and fundamental plot, though, Sci-Fi films may also be categorised into genres such as horror (Aliens), comedy…

    The Star Wars Series is a saga of films loved by just about every person in the United States. From middle-aged Sci-Fi nerds to middle school jocks, you’d be hard pressed to find somebody that “just didn’t get the hype.” The first Star Wars film, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was released in 1977 and the last film of the series (so far), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, was released in 2005. Though the original movie was a pop culture phenomenon and has changed film forever, the physical fallacies are striking.…
