When it comes to the upcoming Star Wars movies--owned by Disney, logistically disowned by George Lucas, partially corrupted by sub-par prequels, and an aging Harrison Ford--most fans of the franchise are split between semi-religious release at the thought of a continuation to the universe the epic tale has weaved, or abhor the idea of seeing some favored actors limp around on stage for what may amount to nothing more than symbolic mania, deadening the old trilogy’s significance.
PROFESSIONALISM IS NEITHER ANTIQUATED NOR DISTANT
Whereever you happen to fall on the Star Wars fan spectrum, please know that these actors are alive and kicking. Literally.

The moderator, Chris Hardwick, made a point to inquire about the fictitious vigilante’s health, but was curtly redirected by Ford’s subject-changing responses, e.g., “Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you very much.” When a fan asked about his foot from the wild crowd, Ford simply responded, “My foot? I just walked here,” rhetorically ending that conversation. In pain or not, it seems Ford is here to work. However, perhaps he should keep Chewie closer for his next flight.

Imagine how life would be if our society did not have cars. Today, our society is dependent on cars for our daily routines. From transporting our food, clothes, and technology to just going to the store across the street, cars are a very important part of our society. In the 19th century, only the wealthy and upper middle class had access to automobiles, and they only used cars for fancy transportation and to show off their money. This was due to the extreme prices of cars in the 19th century. With these high prices not many people could afford them, especially not the working class.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to examine Star Wars because we feel intimately connected to the film and all that it represents. We grew up with R2D2, C3PO, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. We dressed up like them for Halloween, we played Star Wars games for countless hours, we imagined ourselves using their futuristic technology, and now we want to study how this artifact has affected our society and how it might affect our future.

On a breezy spring day in 1868 in Childersburg, Alabama, James Ford sat in on the steps of the New Baptist Church meditating on how he is going to support his wife, Mabel, and his daughter, Dixie. He wasn’t sure how to survive in this place since his rights as a citizen were being withheld from him, even though he was no longer a slave after the 13th amendment abolished it. He was a freed man after that piece of legislation passed. Although in the eyes of the white southern men, he was still viewed the same whether he was in shackles or not. As James pondered about the various ways to become treated like a real citizen, the people of the Freedmen’s Bureau begin to ascend the steps carrying crates full
On July 7, 1946 he took the new XF-11 plane up for a spin. After about an hour he crashed at the LA Country Club golf course. The crash left him unconscious in a burning plane with a punctured lung, fractured leg and a bunch of cuts and burns. A Marine sergeant pulled Hughes out of the plane, and he was rushed to Beverly Hills Emergency Hospital. He was given a fifty percent chance to live. As he suffered with serious head and back injuries, he became addicted to painkillers. Hughes was constantly self- injecting morphine into his body. As the years passed he became irrationally paranoid. He surrounded himself with aides that he trusted; a group of seven Mormons which never left Howard s side, and insisted that any item handed to him be covered by a Kleenex.

While observing the set Lucas says that the set is so much better than his set and the movie will make much more money than Star Wars to Lucas’s dismay. Lucas also said “Oh my God, your movie is better than Star Wars! This is gonna be the biggest hit of all time. I can’t believe this set” Lucas said he would trade some earnings with Spielberg. They would each trade 2.5 percent of their movies earnings to each other. Then Spielberg agreed to the bet but actually Star Wars made $775 million at the box office and close encounters only making $304 million. Though Lucas did not lose much money since after the movie he was still a billionaire so there was not a giant hole in his wallet after the bet which surprised Lucas. He was very surprised that Star Wars got almost double the earning of close encounters and now had so much money.
