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 fight for American independence from Britain began in 1775 at the Battle of Lexington and Concord and concluded with the colonies' freedom from Britain in 1783 (Ambuske 2018). Today, over two hundred years have passed since the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, but Americans still honor and remember the fight for American independence.

Jediism Have you ever felt or wondered if there was actually more than there already is out in space? Do you like or have even seen a Star Wars movie? Believe it or not, there is in fact a religion that you might not knew existed that follows the way of the Jedi.

Star Wars has a worldwide appeal that is here to stay for many generations to come, but how has it done this? While director George Lucas has received mixed reactions for his approach towards the prequels, this does not undermine the fact that George
Documentaries may not be thought of as narrative stories like Star Wars (1977), directed by George Lucas and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), directed by Wes Anderson, but they do follow a classical narrative structure. They are like a genre, but limited because they will usually not be as widespread or shown in theatres like blockbusters. They also will not make as much money either. Even though documentaries are not fantastical worlds, they still follow a narrative structure. Documentaries tend to stick to obscure facts to keep the audience engaged, and movies tend to have action packed plots and/or dramatic emotional scenes.
I was born in 1977, and I grew up with Luke Skywalker. I was one of the multitude of kids who watched the films religiously. I can’t even imagine how many times I’ve seen
George Lucas' Star Wars has been an "unprecedented commercial success in the history of cinema and has made a huge cultural impact" (Feichtinger 28). It is a popular franchise and is widely known all over the world. Star Wars plays a major role in influencing the youth and sending a message to everyone, especially the fans. George Lucas said that he wanted to do more than entertain the masses; he wanted to "introduce young Americans to spiritual teachings through 'new myths' for our globalized, pluralistic millennium" (Burke). These spiritual teachings and motifs are seen throughout the Star Wars movies and they "promote values and worldviews", which are adopted from Buddhism (Feichtinger 34).
In the 1920s, movies became the most popular form of American entertainment. No one expected these films, that were once only a couple seconds long, to influence history as much as they did. This addition of technology to the American lifestyle had the rich and the poor lined up to see the newest showings. The movies reflected American culture and personalities. The film industry made an outstanding increase when it changed location, met competition, and when it began adding sound and color.
George Lucas, the creator of star wars, is worth 5.4 billion dollars. He and his films are major staples in motion picture film industry, such as Indiana Jones and Star Wars. He also has many more lesser known movies such as his early films Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, and American Graffiti. When he was younger he had a strong passion for cars and automobiles, which inspired his first film. George was born in California.
Cultures are spread through globalisation through knowledge, ideas, clothing, beliefs, values, languages, food and movies. When contact occurs between cultures, all ideas are spread and transferred which has become easier nowadays than in the past because fewer people were to able to travel and experience the rest of the world. Disney, Disney princesses especially, has had a big impact on the spread of cultures from Saudi Arabia 's Aladdin to Germany 's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to China 's Mulan. Not only has Disney spread the culture of beliefs and values, most children from all around the world who has watched a Disney princess original would be able to identify the traditional dresses such as the Qipao from China in Mulan. Their movies have also given children a way to apprehend various styles of cultures.

Star Wars has always been one of the most well-known series in history. People from all around the world are familiar with the sci-fi story and its iconic characters. Many people have come to know the Star Wars series as a movie that anybody can enjoy and relate to when reflecting on world affairs and the battle between two opposing views. Characters like Darth Vader, The Emperor, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia have always looked at as the best group of characters in a movie series. I think that the Star Wars movies are the most influential movies of all time because they have transcended through generations, they have the most memorable characters, and people cans relate to the movies.
Case Question 1: Most aspects of foreign culture, like languages, religion, gender roles, and problem solving strategies, are hard for a casual observer to understand. In what ways do do Hollywood movies affect national culture outside the United States? What aspect of U.S culture do Hollywood films promote around the world ? Can you observe any positive effects of Hollywood movies on world culture?
A textbook example of this is the animated television show The Clone Wars (Dave Filoni, George Lucas 2008-2015). This show fits chronologically between the second and third ‘prequel’ movies Attack of the Clones (George Lucas, 2002) and Revenge of the Sith (George Lucas, 2005). The show bridged the time gap between the two movies, allowing dedicated viewers to fill in the gaps that the original story left and learn a more detailed story. It also bridged the generation gap for viewers, as Star Wars fans are typically older, or young adults, as that is when the movies originally came out. This show is animated and intended for children, allowing the franchise to hook younger viewers, as well as providing more engaging narrative for the very active audiences who tend to consume all the content they can find (Loads 2014).
