Sci Fi Sagas
One of the most popular sci-fi sagas, George Lucas' first star wars film was first aired in 1977 and won 6 Oscars. It became the highest grossing film of all time until 1982, and still considered one of the greatest films of all times, following its massive success two sequels (The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi) were released in the following years, becoming just as popular. A huge and still growing fan base supports an industry of novels, comic books and other kinds of merchandise. In lieu of its continuous popularity, Lucas released a prequel trilogy between 1999- 2005, and in in 2015 the first part of the sequel trilogy.

    Analysis Of The Orestei The Rule Of Three

    In New Hope Luke begins his Jedi training, they rescue Princess Leia from the empire, and Luke destroys the death star. In Empire Strikes, the rebels get defeated on Hoth, Luke trains under Yoda, and finally fights Darth Vader who turns out to be his father. And finally in Return of the Jedi, second death star is built, there’s a giant battle, Empire is defeated. In each star wars movie, starting with New Hope and ending with Return of the Jedi, it has that beginning middle and end. With all three movies in order they make that larger beginning, middle, and end that is needed for a trilogy to really come together. If a movie were to take three hours just talking the setting and the characters and then another movie would make up the middle and then a different movie would make up the end it wouldn’t be a trilogy. It’d be a so weird collection of movies that would be very boring To be a trilogy you have to have that three act structure. And together the star wars movies make a trilogy that is memorable and famous, that is talked about for years to…

    Film Analysis: The Empire Strikes Back

    . lunges, but Vader repels the blow” and then “aggressively drives Vader back” (82). The duel between Luke and Darth Vader shows that Luke is becoming just like Vader himself because Luke uses aggression instead of the calm, serene nature of the Force. It shows that Luke is impatient and angry because he results to violence first instead of waiting, again, for his opponent to strike first. Luke uses his anger to try and wear down Vader, but instead Vader gets the upper hand because Luke is impatient and does not plan his moves accordingly and Vader beats him. He also lets his anger get to him and strikes wildly instead of letting the Force flow through him like most Jedi allow the Force to do. Lucas uses this to show, ultimately, that Luke is unintentionally following in his father’s footsteps and that without a change in path Luke will most likely go over to the dark side just like his father before him, who was overrun with anger and impatience. In the film, The Empire Strikes Back, Luke unconsciously follows in his father’s footsteps by being corrupted by anger and impatience in his training with Yoda, his encounter with his own soul in the cave on Dagobah, and in his showdown with Darth Vader in the carbon freezing chamber in Cloud…

    Going to a Movie: Archetypes in the "Star Wars" Movie

    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…

    Monomyth In Star Wars

    This is first seen when Sidious tells Vader to try to turn Luke to the dark side and be used as an asset to the empire and the Emperor’s power. Vader follows Luke throughout the movie to get in direct contact with him but he realizes that Luke will only face Vader if Luke’s friends are in danger. Vader goes to Cloud City and holds Luke’s friends captive until he receives word that his prey has finally come to him. Luke battles his way through the invaded city and to the chamber where he meets Vader. In the final battle with Darth Vader Luke is constantly asked to join the dark side and Vader finds himself trying not to kill him. During the battle Vader tells Luke that his place in the new world is with Vader and Emperor and that only Luke’s hatred can destroy Vader (Star Wars V). A Jedi must never hate or love because it is the path to the dark side (Star Wars III). Some archetypes appear in this part of the movie where Luke is clothed in white and is seen as the hero and Vader is seen as a shadow in all black and the temptress. After Luke gets his hand cut off, Vader tells Luke that if Luke joins him in the Empire he can complete his training and begin his reign. Vader further tells Luke that he can kill the Emperor and rule the universe alongside him as “father and son” (Star Wars…

    The Maze Runner: Science Fiction Genre

    The Maze runner is the world apocalypse of a science fiction genre because the world was taken over by the flare, the sun, the grievers and the people with lots of power. The grievers were half gloopy spiders and half machine creatures, The Flare was a virus that killed the people in the world, it was a man-made disease that slowly ate the brain and turned victims into insane humans, so ‘the creators’ who were more powerful than the others that were mostly teenagers, set them up into a game as their experiment. Therefore, the creators, who weren’t immune to the virus, could find out a cure to it by observing how the teenager’s brains resisted the virus, since they were immune to it. The sun also killed most of the people because of the heat, leading to global warming.…

    Science Fiction: The War Of The Worlds

    Atwood writes: “What I mean by ‘science fiction’ is those books that descend from H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds, which treats of an invasion by tentacled, blood-sucking Martians shot to Earth in metal canisters – things that could not possibly happen – whereas, for me, “speculative fiction” means plots that descend from Jules Verne’s books about submarines and balloon travel and such – things that really could happen but just hadn’t completely happened when the authors wrote the books. I would place my own books in this second category: no Martians.” (From In other worlds, p.6)…
