Star Wars

The Revolutionary War is actually very similar to the movie we all know, “Star Wars: A New Hope” by George Lucas. They are plenty of similarities such as Luke SkyWalker and America willing to fight for rights, George Washington and Obiwan Kanobi, The Emperor and King George, Darth Vader and the British Army. Comparing these characters and their similarities makes me realize how closer they are to each other than what they seem to be. The first similarity is in comparing Luke SkyWalker and…

Here we will study medieval feudalism and the relation to one of the best known science fiction movies of all time Star Wars.

Cask Wars: A Comparison What are the effects of a feeling of betrayal? Usually it leads to a feeling of disappointment or hatred towards the betrayer. Two examples of the idea of betrayal and its effects are “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe and Star Wars: Episode III by George Lucas. In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Montresor feels betrayed by another man, Fortunato, and leads him into the catacombs of his house, ultimately leaving him to die. In Star Wars: Episode III Anakin…

History on Film Star Wars Edition Star Wars became such a huge cultural impact on society for certain reasons that haven't been replicated.

Or how the films and its studios had changed the way effects in movies today would stun audiences in their current cultures. To understand how Star wars affected and caused such an impact in the culture technologically is to…

It’s safe to say my parents are sick of watching Star Wars Episode II: The Clone Wars. Our family tradition of Saturday movie night is led by my brother and I, each choosing the designated movie every other week, usually that one. We would play the film on a computer while eating ice cream kept cold by the freezer in our house and previously Safeway. Two hours later, my brother and I would trudge off to bed and turn on the AC in the summer or the heater in the winter. Everything that I did,…

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…

Obi-Wan teaches Luke about the force and gives him information about his father during their journey, which guides Luke to become a hero. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a…

I read the book Star Wars: Twilight Company by Alexander Freed. I really didn't pay attention to his art because I was entwined in the story it made me. The sentences were constructed in a way that it was really hard to keep reading it slow paced and the only reason I kept reading is because the author doe’s bond you to the characters in the story. It really bonds you to what battlefront is and takes on a different perspective than just the hero's we know and love. The pattern is more like in…

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 Star Wars, through three specific steps: Departure, Initiation, and Return. As laid out in Joseph Campbell’s Hero With a Thousand Faces, the “Departure” is the first, and arguably the most important, stage in the hero’s journey. This is the stage…
