Lightsaber In A New Hope
The lightsaber was one of the most powerful weapons in all of the Star Wars universe. This weapon was wielded by only the Jedi and their Sith counterparts. It was used in battle and was superior to all it came into contact with. The lightsaber was seen a great deal of times throughout the first movie, “A New Hope.” It represented the talisman in Luke Skywalker’s quest for victory over the evil Darth Vader. This lightsaber was a major part of the film, for it would symbolized three key points in the story. Power, vengeance, and peace. In the beginning of the story, Luke Skywalker appeared to be an ordinary teenager. He lived as a farmhand, and seemed to be living a perfectly normal life on his home planet of Tatooine. Things changed when he

    With the seventh installment of Star Wars coming this month I figured it would make a good topic. This video talks about a popular new conspiracy theory where the character Jar Jar Binks was supposed to become the Sith lord instead of Palpatine. It makes some very convincing points. The clumsy character seems to find his way into some very powerful positions. This might have happened due to control of the force. Clips from the video show him flicking his wrists and while talking to lead characters. These conversations happened at crucial times during the film, and they all ended in the sith’s favor. The creator of the video believes he is using Jedi mind trick to sway the plot in his favor. The creator…

    Let me start by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed movie night! This was the first time that I can remember watching Star Wars: Episode IV "A New Hope." Something I found interesting was although Luke Sykwalker is the movies main protagonist and obvious hero, he is not the only hero. In my opinion, Princess Leia and Hans Solo also had hero type of roles. Luke Skywalker starts out as reluctant, but gradually fills the role of "hero" throughout the film. He also has some defining characteristics that make him relatable to other epic heroes. Luke is "orphaned," which is a shared characteristic between Frodo Baggins and our upcoming hero, Harry Potter. Another defining characteristic is that Luke has special abilities, superhuman skills if…

    He watched Ben get killed and he almost died if Han did not come back and save him during the final battle. Han and Ben can be considered as his guardians, who gave him assistance.I think that Dart Vader is the most famous character in the Star Wars universe. Darth Vader is the epitome of evil and Luke is the complete opposite of his father. He was an innocent child then became a great Jedi Knight and turned into the dark side. Han Solo is a funny character, but deep down he is serious and has a kind nature. Lea is a beautiful and strong leader of the resistance and just happens to be Luke's sister which would make her Dart Vader's daughter as well. All these different characteristics, personalities and story development are the main reasons we are drawn. In a way, the Star Wars saga can be relate in our life. For example, A police has a duty to protect, serve, defend the citizens and enforce the law. These are Jedi Knight principles. When a police becomes corrupt due to greed, power, politics or whatever motivations, then we could say that he turns to the dark side.Force is another symbol for courage. There were times when I doubted myself that am capable of doing a task because of lack of experience and self confidence, however I was able to harness the courage to overcome my fears.

    This is a great symbol of art because The Statue of Liberty is magnificent in every way, and serves its purpose to a superb level. Like I mentioned previously, "location, location, location .. " the statue's location was perfect back in the days of Ellis Island and is perfect now as a tourist site. Shortly after the immigrants on the boats first spotted the land of their new homes, they came into the Hudson river to see this grand statue, and to most people it wasn't just some lady who was standing in the middle of a river, it was the lady who was going to free them or help them from their inadequate lives. To this point in time, America is now more diverse than it ever was and daily people line up in battery park to take the ferry over to see the…
