Analizing Star Wars! (TEST!)

1)
Hero Cycle:
When OBI Wan tells Luke to come fight with him, at first he doesn't want to go but he does because he finds out his aunt and uncle are dead. C3PO and R2D2 are the helpers Luke finds them from the sand people and takes them with him, they will be a big help for the rest of his journey. One test was Luke getting over the fact that his aunt and uncle were dead, once he starts to overcome that test is when the fighting starts. Which shows the battle between good and evil. He also gains another helper, Han. The biggest point is when he goes to see Darth and they are fighting. The emperor than tries to kill Luke but since Darth Vader is his father he ends up saving him, and that's when it shows the Darth Vader has good qualities still in him and is not controlled by the dark side.

Literary Archetypes:
Hero- The main hero in the movie was Luke. He has the values of his society and is the one who goes to see Darth Vader
Antihero- Han Solo because he doesn't believe in the force. He still tries to do the right thing but he is doing it for money.
The Wise Fool- Obi Wan was the wise fool because his idea's of the force are so out there that people don't want to believe him, but he is actually quite intelligent.
The Devil Figure- Is the emperor because he is the root of all evil in the movie.
The Outcast(s)- Are the robots because when they try to get into the bar they won't let them in. But the robots are actually very useful because they have so much knowledge.
The Double- Is Darth Vader because he used to be on the good side when he was known as Annikin. He was than brought to the dark side by the emperor. When him and Luke are fighting the good starts to come back to him. When Luke takes off his mask he is being a father figure to Luke.
The Scapegoat- Was Obi Wan because he sacrifices himself for Luke.
The Temptress- I think it was the dark side because Annikin was tempted to go and he ended up being turned into Darth Vader. Luke was able to not fall for the temptation.
The Good Mother- Was princess Lea because she was there with them through the fighting and always wanted what was best for all the people.

3)
Tragic Man:
Darth Vader is a tragic man because he does still believe in his how freedom and that shows when he can't kill Luke because he is his son. He is also very arrogant in his powers, he knows he is one of the best. He is suffering because when he was turned into Darth Vader the emperor told him that he killed his own wife. Also he knows he is fighting for the dark side and will do it to the best he can, but he doesn't always want to do it. He is committed because he would even fight with his son, and you can tell that he doesn't go easy on him. He protests because he doesn't want Luke to know he is weak, even if that is showing him the good side of himself. When he lets go of that is when he lets Luke take off his mask. He went through the transfiguration when he said he wanted Luke to take off his mask so he could see through his own eyes. That shows to me that he wanted to change and not have to be in the dark side. He impacted Luke greatly. Luke went to see him because he believe that his own father could not hurt him by sending him to the emperor. It took Luke by surprise when Darth Vader started fighting him, but in the end he came back and saved him from the emperor when he was trying to bring Luke to the dark side.

Hero Qualities of Luke
Resiting temptation- Luke resisted the temptation to go over to the dark side even though Darth Vader and the Emperor were trying to get him to.
Dedicated- When they were flying the space crafts trying to get into the center of Death Star and all the men around him where getting shot at and blowing up, Luke could have just given up and went back but he kept on going and accomplished getting the missile into the small hole.
Generosity- He is generous because he cares about the other people around him and not just himself. He was always nice to C3PO and R2D2.

5)
Theme
I think a good theme is love because Luke wants to have a father to love but he can not love someone who doesn't love him back. Also Luke has love for the force because he is loyal to it and will not turn to the dark side. There is also brother sister love between Luke and Leia, they were always there for each other. Leai and Han Solo started having a relationship which is another kind of love. They were together more and it made Han Solo a better person because he started helping out for the right reasons.

Hero Qualities

I think some of the main qualities for a hero to have are: being dedicated, resiting temptation, braveness, generosity, and being strong (more or so mentally than physically)
One very broad them could be good vs evil.
