Harrison Ford: The Star System In Hollywood The Star System in Hollywood is what powers the rise of unknowns into household names and Hollywood fame. The Star, the actor and even the real person all play a role in the success and failure of an actor or actress, personas which in combination will be able to make or break a film before it is even released. Harrison Ford manages this expertly, a rough yet heroic star, a quick witted and dead pan actor, and the actual person hidden away from the…

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.

the Dark Side for peace in the galaxy. The Star Wars movies have connected to me on a personal level from the start. I always felt like I could relate to the characters and the creativity sparked my imagination. With the recent release of Star Wars VII, I could not help but watch the other six movies and fall back in love. It had been years since I had last seen the original trilogy straight through, so while watching I noticed similarities between the Star Wars universe and the universe we live…

Why Everyone Should See the Star Wars Prequels A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there were explosions, screams of anguish, and the betrayal of the century. No, this isn’t some sort of space reality show, it is Star Wars, and more importantly, the Star Wars Prequels. Most of the time people not only hate the prequels but refuse to even watch any of them because of a character who caused the wars. This character is none other than Jar Jar Binks. Even with this hatred towards this minor…

However, Jimi Hendrix, the renowned rock guitarist from the late 1960s, interpreted our national anthem in a very different perspective. He…

Remember when the first Star Wars came out in the late seventies? Everyone was so excited to watch it and it was a huge success too. It is shocking to see how far Hollywood has come! From low-end cameras, unreal special effects, and battles kids today would call dull; they went to high quality video production, realistic effects, epic fight scenes and more dynamic actors. Star Wars: A New Hope was about a young boy named Luke Skywalker who lived on the planet Tatooine with his Aunt and Uncle. He…

Juno’s hand pushed a lever on the console, and the hyperdrive jumped to life The Rogue Shadow flung itself forward. Stars turned to streaks ahead of them. This time, Juno hoped, the past was left far, far behind them. What Starkiller and Juno hadn’t seen at Vader’s capture, though, was Boba Fett’s rifle scope honed in on the force-user. It was very moving for Boba Fett. To have forced a bounty hunter, let alone a Fett, to lower his gun is an amazing feat. They may have gotten away that time,…
