Stewart Van Vliet Mac World History 5 November 23, 2015 Religion Paper Jediism George Lucas has made many fictional movies including one the most popular hits Star Wars. Jediism is a non theistic movement mainly based on the depiction of the Jedi in Star Wars media. They attracted public attention in 2001 when a number of people recorded their religion as Jedi on national censuses. Daniel Jones, a twenty three year old gentleman, was inspired by the force and thought that it should be a real…

The legacy of Star Wars still exists today partly because it was constructed by so many different philosophies and religions. The trilogy includes aspects of Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and even Christianity. Sometimes it is hard to find, but the teachings of Christ and the truth of the gospel are paralleled several times in the films in the morality of the Jedi and Luke Skywalker. With that, while the Force and Holy Spirit are alike, the Force is not the only small aspect of God in the films. Caleb…

consisting of many trials and losses. Plenty of movies and works of literacy follow the hero’s journey motif, such as the movie Star Wars: A New Hope. The hero of A New Hope is a boy named Luke Skywalker, who lives on the desert planet of Tatooine. He strives to leave his baren home and see the galaxy. He begins his heroic quest to save princess Leia, and eventually destroys the Death Star, saving millions of lives. Luke is an ordinary boy, but his hero’s journey gives him an opportunity to…

I have decided to do my essay on Anakin Skywalker. He is the main hero/villain in the Star Wars series. I believe I can classify him as a type of god. Anakin typifies a type of god because of the fact that in the first half of the series he is considered a messiah of sorts. In both Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith several characters speak of Anakin’s special status. Both Qui-Gon Jin (a respected high level master Jedi) and Obi-Wan Kenobi…

This essay will discuss the Star Wars universe from a structuralist view point discussing the use of stereotypical, monomyth narrative structures to represent the signified and myths of American culture. I will discuss the binaries of light, dark, alien, human, freedom, control and how there contrasting binaries relate to the negative arbitrary nature of signification. More specifically these differences of the paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships in the movies depiction of plot, special…

In both Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Star Wars our protagonists Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker can each be considered a “chosen one” due to their characterizations. Each creator has followed a similar framework that structures their emergence to becoming a chosen one which results in noticeable parallels between the two. Neither of the boys have a comprehensive understanding of their own history, as they are both considered orphans who were raised by extended family, they also…

The movie I have chosen to analgise is Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, directed by George Lucas in 2005. This movie cost $113 million to make and made 800 million from box office.

I was a girl that lived in the era of Star Wars. In simpler wording, a girl that lived at the time that the Star Wars movies where coming out. I remember being absolutely obsessed with Star Wars at the time. I dreamed of becoming a Sith, using a lightsaber, and I wanted to control the Force. The Force is the energy that binds all things together. The Sith where people from the dark side, and I liked the evil better than good, I always wanted to join the Sith lord. It was the night of Christmas,…

It was over. The Empire had lost both their leader and strongest weapon, not to mention some of their finest troops. Sure, they still had Admirals spread throughout the galaxy, each probably with their own fleet, but without someone there to hold their hands and make sure they all got along, it was doubtful that they would be able to continue in a war. Years of the Rebellion's fighting, of losing allies and friends, had finally paid off. The Empire was done. A low groan dragged Luke out of his…
