Star Wars Expanded Universe

The movie opens with Palpatine addressing the Jedi Council. He informs them that the Senate believes the Jedi can no longer protect them from the oncoming enemies that face them and that the galaxy requires a military to protect those who cannot protect themselves. Therefore, the Senate has commissioned an army of clones, made with the genetic material of the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy: Jango Fett. Naturally, the Jedi are opposed to a clone army, especially one made from the DNA of…

The film that I have selected to examine is The Graduate (Nichols, 1967), with Mike Nichols directing and nominated for several Oscars even winning Best Director. The film has become a Hollywood classic that has stood the test of time. This is because the film had a strong screenplay and careful direction. The ensuing film examination will analyze the structure of the story from a comprehensive perspective like the characters, sequences, scenes and also analyze Nichols’ compositions, symbolisms,…

Because Luke Skywalker’s family was killed by stormtroopers, Obi-Won Kenobi wanted Luke to come to Alderaan with him, and Luke was interested in becoming a Jedi, in Star Wars by George Lucas the call in the heroic cycle applies to Luke Skywalker. For starters, Luke finds his civilization destroyed. In search of the two droids, the stormtroopers set fire to Tatooine civilization, killing Luke’s aunt and uncle. This was a big portion of the call for Luke Skywalker because the only thing that was…

premise was. People were having their “mind blown with a season full of influential hits.”(Truitt 1) Films like The Terminator kickstarted a profitable franchise that continues to this day. Meanwhile, films like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock contributed to their respective franchises and generated hype for more sequels.

A Pirate’s Failure BREAK Tatooine Sith Inquisitor Act I Andronikos Revel considered the Sith standing in front of him as she held out a datapad from his old girlfriend Casey. The Sith was petite to the extreme, barely coming to his shoulder. Andronikos was a fit man, but he’d never been considered tall. Whatever her reasons for being here, it was clear that this Sith had come prepared for a march through the desert. Only one thing truly stuck out to him apart from her height, and Andronikos…

I swung my white lightsaber again and again, harder and harder, faster and faster. The battle simulator droids responded by pushing my limits further with more aggressive movements. I screamed in frustration and sliced off their heads, frying their circuits beyond repair. I frowned as I looked what I had accomplished. Three droids destroyed in one stroke. This was a failure move. I bet the padawans could do better than this! I must do better. I knew I could. Shame on me for being so weak! If…

Skywalker. For three years, Padmé was forced to keep her marriage to Anakin a secret from everyone, including her closest allies, which happened to include Anakin’s former mentor and best friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. As the Clone Wars wore on, Padmé fought for justice in the Galaxy, but her voice was constantly drained out by the cries of the enemy and her fellow senators who believed the way she thought was unorthodox, due to her closeness to the Jedi. Despite her…

There are two very popular sci-fi stories that have been a part of our lives for years. They are very similar in a lot of ways. They are very different in a lot of ways. The name of these stories are Doctor Who and Star Wars. Doctor Who is a Sci-Fi TV show and Star Wars is a series of movies, but they are both stories. I will be comparing these stories and I also be contrasting these stories. As I said before, Doctor Who is a Sci-Fi TV show. The TV show first aired on November 23rd, 1963. It…

The text by Nathaniel Van Yperen, “I am Your Father: the Villain and the Future Self” talks at length about perceiving the villain of a story as a version of one’s “future self”, as in Star Wars between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Van Yperen describes Darth Vader as a villain because Luke can see himself someday turning out like his father. The concept of the “future self” can also be applied to Junot Diaz’s work, “Fiesta, 1980.” Nathaniel Van Yperen defines a villain as someone that a…

Cameron’s Life: Episode VI a New Hope. In life there are many definite ends like finishing a bowl of pasta, finishing a 4-5 page paper your professor gives to you to finish in two days (I know, what the heck), or leaving a soccer club. At these ends, there are beginnings, eating more food because that 's all I do, starting another paper (Please don 't), and going to a new soccer club. During the intervals between a definite start, and definite ending, there are many small beginnings and…
