Luke Skywalker's Journey
The jedi were the most feared warriors in the universe, but have been hunted down and destroyed by the New Empire. This is Joseph Campbell come in explaining his journey in an unknown world, “---signifies that destiny has summoned the hero and transferred his spiritual center of gravity from within the pale of his society to a zone unknown” (Campbell, p.58). “All he can do is create new problems for himself and await the gradual approach of his disintegration” (Campbell, pg. 59). Joseph can relate to Luke by getting himself into any trouble. Far in a distant galaxy princess Leia’s ship subdued. Darth Vader appeals and his stormtroopers to search the entire ship for secret documents and he believes the ship carries. Leia is taken as a prisoner but R2 and his pall C-3PO gets away in an escape pod with a message from Princess Leia to Obi Wan Kenobi. They crash on a planet called Tatooine. The droids are bought by skywalker’s uncle owen. Luke Skywalker finds the message R2 is carrying fro Obi Wan and Luke sees Princess Leia and wonders if the message is for the old Kanobi. R2 escapes during the night and Luke waits till the sun comes out and goes after him. He finds R2 and finds Obi Wan as well.

    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.

    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. In the end, I was able to accomplish the task and told myself "I knew I could do it!". I have awakened the force within to face the…

    Primarily, symbolic archetypes flourish within George Lucas' masterpiece. As an example, the contrast of colors in Luke Skywalker's clothing represents a loss of innocence in the main character. As a teenager in Star Wars: A New Hope, he wears clothes of all white, representing his pureness as a young adult. Swept away by adventure, Skywalker can no longer cling to his security blanket of virtue after learning about the force and the evil of the Empire. This change in him is noticeable when, in Return of the Jedi, Luke discards his former white and chooses a more somber black. His attire complements his morose, yet determined heart. Also, this contrast of white and black is evident in the setting of the two movies. The Rebel base consists of mostly light backgrounds, while the Death Star and the home of Jabba the Hutt appear dark and mysterious with evil forces. This perceptible difference shows that the place with good forces, the Rebel base, seems flourished with light colors, and that the evil settings contain the symbolic color of black. Another symbolic archetype presents itself as the force, a power that can be employed for good or ill and upholds the universe. The force can be…

    Destiny has a way of making us all look like fools. In the story of Macbeth several characters fell due to prophecy by supernatural powers. An instance where this is relevant is in the beginning of the play, when the three Witches inform Macbeth and Banquo of their futures. Although they both don’t know the facts correctly, in both of their futures death awaits. Right after the epiphany Macbeth witnessed he sought to take the throne by force, where much bloodshed had commenced. Banquo, Macbeth’s loyal friend, knew of the actions that were going happen, yet he didn’t stop it. The story of Macbeth is similar to film Star Wars in the same way that Anakin Skywalker, who was prophesied to be the chosen one, turned to the evil villain we know as Darth Vadar. Although found by chance Anakin, the young boy from Tatooine, was prophesied to be the chosen one for the sheer fact that of his high midichlorian count. The Jedi Council knew from the start that Anakin was heading down the dark side, yet Jedi Knight Obi-wan…

    The Gospel of Luke is distinctive in comparison to the other Gospels due to its universality. Luke’s writings include “not only Gentiles, but also social outcasts. The universality also shows itself in the special attention paid to women” (Gundry, 2012, p. 238). The Gospel of Luke “portrays Jesus in the deepest and most intimate sense, as a friend to outcasts and sinners” (McReynolds, 2016). The parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37 allows the reader to understand that Jesus does not see the color of your skin or nationality as different, we are all human beings whom God cherishes. Luke 2:10-11 states, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to…
