Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Recommended: Star wars critical analysis
Star Wars is an epic space opera film series created by George Lucas, which includes galactic battles, theatrical adventure, as well as chivalric romance. The music, mainly composed by John Williams, gives depth to the storyline and is something that fans of all ages will always remember. The specific Star Wars movie that I have chosen to analyze is Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, which was released on May 25, 1983.
All three of the stories start with the hero in the ordinary world. For the most part the ordinary world in all of the stories is a setting the hero is unpleased with. Katniss does not like the scarcity of food in her district, Ender gets bullied for being so smart, and Luke wants to leave the farm he lives on. All of them are not anyone you would expect to be involved in anything important. The call to adventure in all the stories are relatively similar.
The character, Luke Skywalker, in the film, “Star Wars: A New Hope,” clearly represents the Medieval Hero characteristics. Luke is a good moral character, he follows the code of chivalry, and he does not have a royal birth. The first piece of evidence is Luke follows the codes of chivalry. For example, he serves the liege/lord, which is Princess Leia, in valour and faith. He courageous followed the orders of Princess Leia.
The Goonies and The Hunger Games are similar and different regarding The Hero's Journey such as Test Allies and Enemies, The Mentor, and the Reward Each has a number of key differences and key similarities. Each can demonstrate the hero's journey. The Goonies have the Fratellis as one of their Enemies chasing them down because they don't want them to find the treasure nor want them to tell the cops where they are. In The Hunger Games Katniss has to fight for her life against almost everyone and she has to fight for a very long period of time before she wins the Hunger Games. A key similarity is that they are both basically fighting/trying to get their prize/victory for example Katniss is trying to win The Hunger Games and the Goonies are trying to get the
Luke Skywalker- A courageous, orphaned young farm boy who is eager for adventure and for the chance to prove himself a hero. The chief protagonist of Star Wars episodes IV–VI, Luke must learn to control his emotions and desires in order to master the powers of a Jedi Knight, powers that flow from a mystic connection to the Force, an energy field created by life itself.

Star Wars the Summarizing Awakens A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away, two Jedi's name Qui-Gon-Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi end up finding a boy on tattooing while trying to end and intergalactic war between the Republic and the soon to be empire. The kid was Anakin Skywalker and was said to be the chosen one and to one day destroy the Sith. The young boy helped Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to get to the planet Croissant to strengthen and go back to the Naboo to fight the war. The Gungans, a species native to Naboo, help in defeating the droid army while the two Jedi fight a Sith Lord with a, really out of the ordinary, two bladed sword.
The leading role in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, portrayed by Daisy Ridley, is Rey, who breaks every possible stereotype that women usually suffer as the main character in a movie. There’s no sexual reference in her personality or costume. In fact, her costume has no bright colors and shows very little skin. Rey is a character who was abandoned by her family, living alone as a scavenger, which totally contrasts with past female characters’ economic situations in this franchise, where the female role has big titles like princess or
Superhero films allow audiences to easily recognize bodies and enhance the melodramatic structure with stark categories of hero and villain. “To know the body by way of a narrative that leads to its specific identity, to give the body specific markings that make it recognizable, and indeed make it a key narrative sign, are large preoccupations of modern narrative.” (Brooks 26) The markings given to bodies in The Incredibles 2 (2018) include superpowers, super suits, and even physical build with the wonders of animation. But the function of bodies in the melodrama of superhero films goes far beyond superpowers, super suits, and putting the bodies of non-superpowered individuals in much more peril due to superpowered counterparts that do not always account for them.
According to CinemaBlend, the “Secrets of The Force Awakens: A Cinematic Journey” features revelations and behind the scenes of “Episode VII.”
Though a new Star Wars film is just around the corner, Professor Zachary Feinstein from the Washington University in St. Louis is still busy dissecting elements from the original trilogy. The academic recently published a study called "It's a Trap: Emperor Palpatine's Poison Pill," a project that attempts to model the economy of Star Wars' fictional universe and illustrate how the creation - and subsequent destruction of the two 'Death Star' superweapons in the original trilogy drove the Empire's banking system to the point of collapse. " In this paper we study the financial repercussions of the destruction of two fully armed and operational moon-sized battle stations ("Death Stars") in a 4-year period and the dissolution of the galactic government
The stylish episode VIII of the Star Wars franchise, the second of a trilogy that began in 2015 with “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, was given the title of “The Last Jedi” and keeps dividing audiences worldwide. While its visual impact is undeniable, old and new characters work together to infuse zest and grittiness in an impetuous inspiration by Rian Johnson (“Brick”, “Looper”), who penned and directed with equal doses of passion and fascination. The director actually captured the tonal spirit of the precedent episodes and elevated it through bold and fresh ideas. However, this spacial opus could have run shorter than the two hours and a half without major loss.
` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story. This movie was made with advanced equipment and cutting-edge CGI (for 1999), nonetheless, the movie was panned by critics and enraged an entire generation of moviegoers. The answer to why this happened lies in the differences between the two films: use of special effects, construction of characters, and complexity of plot. “A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story.
This book follows the tale of Darth maul and what happened before he got cut in half. The start shows him on a lava planet and he says that he wasn’t even born on that planet. Then this guy in a masked hood comes to Maul and tells him that he is going to help and teach him to be a Darth because he was so strong. They started exercising Maul and while the droid was fighting him he grabbed the far away pole from the ground. When they ate the masked man(Sidious) told Maul about the people who used to rule with there names starting with either Darth or Sith.
While in both movies, Hunger Games and Divergent, share similar characteristics of a dystopian genre, they do not take on the same features as each other. This is usually because the structure is rigid and predictable although there can be certain differences. These differences and similarities could be their themes, setting or costumes that are used in the novel or film. In the Hunger Games and Divergent, the theme of rebellion is seen throughout the film.
A number of people were not happy about the Star Wars prequels. I was one of them but I did go see all three at the theaters. Let me speak on Episode II, Attack of The Clones because this will bring focus to what I post later. The major plot in Episode II was the Separatists moving the galaxy towards war and the Republic were debating on forming a “Grand Army of the Republic” to engage the Separatists.
