One of the most iconic scenes from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope is when Luke Skywalker is standing in front of the binary sunset- the twin suns of Tatooine. Luke was just left behind by his friends because they were able to go to space and he was just told by his uncle that he must stay on Tatooine for another year. He has waited all his life to leave and go on adventures in space. This scene is impactful because there is no action or dialogue and yet, through music and special effects, the audience can feel what Luke is feeling. The theme played during this scene is called Luke’s Theme, or more commonly, the Force Theme. Its main chorus is heard throughout all the movies including when Yoda reveals himself as the Jedi Master whom can teach
This curiosity serves as a catalyst for his transformation, pushing him out of his comfort zone and into the unknown. Faced with the realities of his oppressive society, Luke demonstrates remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. Despite the constant threat of exposure and punishment, he refuses to give in to despair or resignation. Instead, he adapts to the problems he faces, finding creative solutions to deal with the dangers that surround him. Whether it's devising a plan to obtain a fake passport or standing up for what he believes in, Luke refuses to be a passive observer in his life.
Star Wars defined the modern Science-Fiction film, but still to inspiration from old fairy tales. The central character, Luke Skywalker, begins as a peasant, like many other fairy tale heroes (Jack and the Beanstalk, Sword in the Stone, etc.), and later meets an old Jedi/wizard named Obi-Wan Kenobi, similar to wizards from other fairy tales (Merlin, Balthazar, etc.), who moves the story forward and teaches the hero the ways of the force, which is as a stand in for fairy tale magic, Throughout the film, Lucas uses other elements from fairy tales, such as the damsel-in-distress of Princess Leia, and the evil kingdom of the Galactic Empire. Lucas clearly appreciates these fairy tales, the parallels aren't parodied or played for
This can be seen as a return home for Rey, as her ties on Jakku have all but disappeared while the Resistance has essentially taken her as one of their own. On the other hand, an analysis of the final scene reveals more than just the close of an epic journey. After returning to the base, R2-D2 suddenly boots up to reveal the missing piece of the map to Luke Skywalker. Rey takes the Millennium Falcon to follow the map to an island-filled planet, where she dramatically climbs the steps of ancient temple ruins to encounter one Luke Skywalker. Without saying a word, she presents Skywalker with the lightsaber.
(adv.) George Lucas, uses this scene to display that Leia is not like every other individual.
The Death Star represents the dangers of military technology in general. From here on, Luke uses his old skills (what he did back at home) to destroy the Death Star. Furthermore, literary heroes must give their readers inspirational hope through the sense of closure in the plot. The first example that supports this theory is in the story Gilgamesh, where Enkidu dies.
On their Journey to Alderaan, Hans’ ship, the Millennium Falcon, is forced to enter onto a space station where they learn from R2D2 that Princess Leia is being held captive. When Luke and Han rescue the Princess they are approached and shot at by stormtroopers, able to escape they proceed on to their final destination. This was Luke’s first true test and when he became allies with Han and enemies of the Imperial Outland Region and the Galactic Empire.
The creator and director of Star Wars, George Lucas, was incredibly successful for his movie series, but even more successful for its overall purpose: to sell toys to ten-year old boys. The use of ethos, pathos, and logos are very abundant in this movie. Ethos, Greek for “character”, is anything referring to or relying on the author’s credibility. Pathos, Greek for “emotional”, is anything that makes you feel emotion. Logos, Greek for “word”, is anything that makes you think. By using these he was able to persuade the audience into thinking, feeling, and loving Star Wars, making the audience want to purchase figurines.
Star wars is a story of an ordinary boy turned extraordinary what each person in society aspires to be. For example. Luke is a meak and unassuming farmer he harvests water a necessity for his dismal desert environment. Luke has large aspirations to be a pilot for no other than the empire itself. Luke unaware of is ever changing environment will lose everything just to gain it back. The death of his childhood home and his uncle and aunt only pushes him out of his comfort zone to live in a world that he doesn’t know about. Obi won conbi his mentor and guide through life's trials give him hope when he teaches Luke of the faith in the force. Through battle and decisions the choices Luke makes are the same ones that Inspire us today. Luke is no
External influences may guide an individual towards their destiny, but only the person themselves can attain their full potential once they believe in their own ability to succeed. As American positivist author Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy” (Brainy Quote). This can be seen in George Lucas’ Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is an isolated young farmer on the planet Tatooine who is propelled in an unexpected mission to save the Rebel Alliance Leader, Princess Leia, as they struggle to defeat the Galactic Empire. To that effect, when analyzing George Lucas’ film from a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, Luke is the main character
The main story revolves around the Empire seeking stolen plans for the Death Star whilst Luke, Obi Wan, Han Solo C3Po and R2D2 rescue Princess Leia. That's basically a really brief summary of the plot, but who hasn't seen this film. Luke Skywalker is the main heroine for the film and the trilogy, he is a very relatable and compelling character, we meet as a teenage boy who wishes to leave that sinking rock and join the rebellion, one of the greatest and most iconic scene is when Luke is pissed off with his uncle and he walks out in to the dessert to watch the binary sunset and with the epic John Williams score is truly amazing, he is dragged into the story by an old wizard known as Obi Wan Kenobi who informs him that he's father was a Jedi and was betrayed and murdered by a Sith Lord known as Darth Vader............. someone smell bullshit. That single plot device has been reused and ripped off so many times particularly in Harry Potter like literally the scene where Obi Wan tells Luke about how his father was killed and when Hagrid tells Harry how his parents were killed are nearly identical.
The Death Star battle, or Battle of Yavin, is a climatic scene where the (first) Death Star, a giant moon shaped space station and weapon with abilities to destroy planets with its super laser, is destroyed by the Rebellion. This is actually Luke Skywalker’s first step to becoming a Jedi by showing his leadership skills and his skill potential.
While the two droids C3PO and R2D2 are venturing across the vast, barren, and rugged landscape upon the planet, the two become separated. After separation, R2D2 undergoes an unexpected ambush by a pack of Jawas whom proceed to electrocute and temporarily disable R2D2 solely for the purpose of attaining his scrap metal parts for profit. Fortunately for R2D2, Luke Skywalker, his uncle, and C3PO were browsing the local market when 3PO remarks we should buy that droid referring to R2. Luke Skywalker then proceeds to perform upgrades to R2D2 and in turn makes a blissful discovery. This discovery comes after Luke dislodges what is jammed in the R2 unit and in turn this causes a hologram message of Princess Leia seeking the assistance of Obi-Wan Kenobi as she refers to him as our only hope. However, after replaying the message in front of Luke and C3PO the next morning the R2 unit goes missing. In response to R2 going missing, Luke and C3PO are ambushed by the Tusken Raiders and Luke is knocked out and in turn awakens several hours later and finds himself being tended to by an older individual. Upon receiving care from the individual, Luke then proceeds to asking him his name and discovers that it truly is Obi-Wan Kenobi, as they proceed back to Luke’s aunt and uncle’s house only to discover that they have been murdered. Shortly hereafter, Luke
Akin to Gilgamesh, Luke Skywalker experiences a turning point moment when he destroys the Death Star. It allows him to understand the power and importance of seeking adventure. For Gilgamesh and Luke Skywalker, they reach their destiny through adventure, adventure that they brought upon themselves.
Luke and others are pilots that will attempt to eradicate the Death Star and he encourages Han to help out, but Han got paid and just leaves. Many pilots tried to defeat the Death Star, but perished. Luke’s turn came and he heard Obi-Wan telling him to use the force, so he did. Luke turned off his computer and just concentrated on his feelings. He was about to get hit when Han swooped in and saved his hind. Luke fired and made it and the Death Star was destroyed. Back on the Planet, Han and Luke got medals for their heroism and peace was restored to the
Despite being the main character, in A New Hope, Luke Skywalker is neither mentioned nor seen on screen until the setting of the film has already been established. He is first seen with his uncle Owen buying droids from the Jawas on Tatooine. Luke is first portrayed as an annoying and immature kid. As the film’s plot follow him, we learn more about his character. Skywalker is an orphan living with his aunt and uncle on the desert planet Tatooine. At this point in the story, his main goal is to escape his boring life on Tatooine and explore the galaxy. However, his aunt and uncle force him to stay and help tend the family’s farm. In the beginning of A New Hope, Luke’s character represents the average teenager who just wants to break away from his or her mundane life.
