Darth Vader

A hero is an individual trusted and admired by many for their bravery, selfless acts, bold attitude, and chivalry. From the time we are children we are told stories about heroes and their fight with the villain. In almost all cases, the hero wins. What we often are not told, however, is the journey the hero must go through to overcome the villain. The journey all heroes must endure is described perfectly in Joseph Campbell’s book, Hero With a Thousand Faces, and portrayed in George Lucas’ film…

When you first hear the word Star--, do you think, “Long ago, in a galaxy far away…” or “Space: the final frontier..”? The battle between Star Wars and Star Trek has been ongoing for many years and continues to grow with every passing generation. Despite the fact both franchise’s titles start with the same first word, both shows have many similarities and differences while still being its own different independent story. Star Trek began the path for Star Wars creation by opening a new audience…

towards this minor character, these prequels have important information that leads into the next trilogy of episodes. Because of the crucial details in each episode, everyone should watch episode I-III of Star Wars. First off, we get to see who Darth Vader once was, how good of heart he was, and how he was so easily changed in fear of saving those he loves. From the very beginning of the film we see the innocent child known as Anakin Skywalker. As the movies progress so does he and soon enough…

The different art done in Houston is not considered art by some people. However for Shreddi's paintings isn't just art but it's a message to the people in the community, but it's believing in their individuality. In the first poster, the Yeti shows the individuality expressed towards the culture. The big Yeti takes all the importance of the image. This shows that he has to speak loudly and act differently, so he can be noticed. The two people that the Yeti is holding are his supervisors, which…

desperately wants—power or knowledge [...] and all he has to give up is his soul" (xxiv). My question is whether this concept can be expanded to include offers for the hero to join the antagonist. The first example that comes to mind is Star Wars. Darth Vader cuts off Luke Skywalker's hand, reveals himself to be Luke's father, and then offers Luke a place by his side that would make both of them unstoppable. Being the noble hero he is, Luke refuses. In Arrow, the Dark Archer, who is revealed to…

I would argue that Yoda was cooler, Luke Skywalker’s destiny more interesting; it’s really about Darth Vader and fathers and sons and the hero’s journey. Yada yada. But she was resolute. And as I became an adult I realized: she was right! She’s absolutely right. Everyone else in those movies is a Jedi Knight, has some Force power, has some great Manichean…

is stored inside of R2D2. R2D2 then shows Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi the message and they go and help her. Another memorable line from the movie is said by Darth Vader. “I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.” Darth Vader says this to Obi-Wan Kenobi during their fight. “Remember…the Force will be with you, always." Obi-Wan Kenobi says this line to Luke Skywalker before he goes to…

No one can believe that there were actually evil and selfish founding fathers. John Adams is considered the Darth Vader of his time because of his thirst for power. George Washington actually committed numerous crimes. The other founding fathers did bad things too but these are two main founding fathers that everyone knows. Instead of helping the people the founding fathers actually helped themselves. John Adams was a bad guy. He is actually like a conqueror. ATI states, "Adams had a thirst for…

The Super Bowl is arguably the biggest sporting event in the United States every year. However, some people tune in just to see the commercials. This is because some of the best advertisements are shown during this big time game. Two examples of these are the Budweiser “Puppy Love” and Volkswagen “The Force” commercials. The thing that makes these commercials different from the rest is that they make viewers feel a positive emotion towards the brands that will later subconsciously influence…

Opera has always been known for bringing the most drama into the theater, but in the beginning of the 1800’s opera was split into two separate categories, the bel canto and the Gesamtkunstwerk. The Italian Opera was always more popular as this is where opera began, but the bel canto somewhat altered what opera looked like. Bel Canto was characterized by one main singer, one voice that was most prominent. Instruments were used to create a background, they were to support the main voice,…
