What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever…

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 to this world, but Star…

original “Star Trek” series of the late sixties was to give its audience a change from the stereotypical Western themed programs dominating the airwaves. From its very modest beginnings, however, Star Trek’s lead creator, Gene Roddenbery, had much farther-reaching goals. Soon demonstrating that it was more than a mere “wagon train to the stars” as Roddenbery originally claimed, the series invariably raised the question: “What makes us human?” Since its profound beginnings the Star…

I would often recreate our favorite scenes from Star Wars. Of course, ninety-nine percent of the time that meant reenacting the fight between Anakin and Kenobi from Revenge of the Sith (but I mean come on, two Jedis in a duel to the death while balancing over a lava pit, nothing is cooler than that). I know, I know, it may not be very smart to reminisce on my love for the Star Wars prequels when applying for a film major, but those were the Star Wars’ I knew and I loved them. Anyways, when…

Also it was made for the veterans that died during any battle. I think that it is respect also, that they made a flag to go with the song. I never knew what they song was really about till I saw the video I…

When a magic element is present, the characters can enhance their natural ability which results in an unexpected plot twist. In Star War: A New Hope, the primary source of magic is the Force. The Force helps Jedi’s and Sith’s develop and…

Campbell remarked Lucas to have perfectly integrated the cycle to Star Wars’ plot. This is not surprising at all, due to the fact that Lucas drew inspiration from the template Campbell created for his film, Star Wars. Table 1 presented below compares the stages of the Hero’s Journey to the events that occurred in the movie, A New Hope. *(Christopher Vogler’s condensed version of the Hero’s Journey has been used in this paper to view this theory from a more general perspective in contrast to…
