Simply Do In the popular movie series Star Wars, Yoda orders Luke, a young jedi in training, to lift his crashed spaceship out of the swampy waters. Only having had minimal training in the matter, Luke faces a lack of confidence in himself, causing his task to become all the more difficult. Yoda then explains to Luke that there is no difference between lifting a stone and lifting his spaceship, the only difference lies is in his mind. Trusting Yoda’s words Luke says, “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Before Luke could turn around Yoda retains him from moving forward and shouts, “Try not! Do! Or do not! There is no try!” Yoda means there is a difference between “trying” and “doing.” That is, when you “try” to do a task you do so with the belief or
Favorite Movie Essay Thesis Statement “ Star Wars, The Force Awakens” is the rough mixture of SCI-FI and human struggle in a different and fictitious galaxy. To the mind of an old and young person, this movie can be a powerful shaping tool, that teaches us to face our fears, believe in ourselves, and that we can become whatever we put our minds to being, even if one never thought that it could become possible. This movie took place about twenty to thirty years after the death of Darth Vader and the destruction of the Galactic Empire. When an orphan turns to scavenger "Rey" from the planet Jakku,” a junkyard of crashed Empire Battle Starships “ became in contact with a BB-8 droid that belongs to the best pilot of the resistances “Poe
On May 25, 1977, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was released. George Lucas created the science fiction series using Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey plot structure. Campbell created the plot structure by expanding on psychologist Carl Jung’s idea of the archetype. Archetypes are reoccurring symbols that can be found in literature, music, and art. Lucas found that Campbell’s Hero’s Journey was the perfect structure for the plot of Star Wars. The Hero’s Journey consists of ten steps which the protagonist, usually the hero, has to complete. Throughout the movie, George Lucas perfectly orchestrated all ten steps of the Hero’s Journey, and also used dozens of the archetypes that Campbell created.
Yoda’s infamous quote “Do or do not; there is no try” in the movie means that to accomplish a goal or task, one must have confidence in himself to believe they will get it done. Yoda is explaining this to Luke Skywalker as Yoda tries to teach Luke to harness the force, because his spaceship is stuck in a sea of muck. Luke responds with the all too popular “I’ll try.” This only upsets Yoda, which causes Yoda to show Luke how to use his great power by using the force to remove the ship. As Yoda says in the Star Wars the Empire Strikes Back “do or do not; there is no try,” and he could not be more right.
As Gorbachev once said, “We need Star Peace, not Star Wars” (Pettinger Tejvan). Gandhi, Chavez, and Gorbachev are three people who believe in equality in this world and all want one thing… world peace. These dedicated individuals participated in protests, marches, and fasts to help inspire and enact in human rights issues.

Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy that is unlike anything modern society could conceive as being authentic. It exists in a time before Earth was even thought of. At the start of the movie, a civil war is occurring between the Rebel Alliance and The Galactic Empire. A leader of the Rebel Alliance, Princess Leia, stole plans from the Galactic Empire (also known as the Imperial forces) for the Death Star. The Death Star was a very heavily armed space station with weapons capable of destroying an entire planet. After stealing the plans, Princess Leia sent two droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, to the planet Tatooine with a copy of the plans in R2-D2's memory bank.
In a galaxy far, far away there is a disturbance in the force. This disturbance appears to be coming from a con artist that enjoys stealing the money of its viewers. When Star Wars first aired in the year 1977, it possessed a completely unique storyline which allowed its viewers to laugh, love, hate and cry. Star Wars is so unique that fans assembled yearly conventions, and even dedicated websites in honor of the franchise. Star Wars became a life style to these dedicated fans and made George Lucas incredible rich. Every movie that George Lucas creates instantly has the box office sales go through the roof and merchandise gets sold out everywhere. These films make so much money that there is now 9 episodes and producers are not stopping anytime
Can two items be drastically different, but still attract a large audience? Most people would say yes, but is this limited to television programs? It’s definitely not, nor is it limited to the ownership by the same company. Star Wars productions with completely different aspects receive a great amount of popularity all the time. Star Wars the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, while similar in many ways, are vastly different programs. Star Wars the Clone Wars is an animated television program that was released in 2008 on cartoon network. While Star Wars Rebels is also an animated program, but was release in 2014 on Disney Channel. Despite their differences, the two shows are immensely popular and will create a legacy in the Star Wars universe. Most notably, the Clone Wars and Rebels differ in animation, improvement as time went on, and their length, yet the two come together to form a fan favorite production.
Not including a Rey action figure on new Star Wars: The Force Awakens shouldn’t cause any trouble, should it? Apparently, it did. This hot topic has enraged fans at home and is all over social media. The toy company that made the Star Wars toys and Lucasfilm have both been sent many complaints about Rey’s absence. Many other big companies have received complaints about their lack of female toys. These big industries are not bias towards boys. These companies didn’t have toys for girls for many reasons including, but not limited to: careful planning and misconceptions.
Along with movies, I have included television series, short cartoons, and some unclassified movies where the presence of AI is showcased. Many of them depict a ‘mindless’ AI, whereas in many, AI plays an important role in the movie. Many were a great success, some of them were taken as ‘cult classics’ in domestic and foreign lands, but many did not achieve the cinematic success. In all of them, the most important thing which is shown is how the agents’ mind works and the results of combining AI into human societies, a glimpse has been shown about how the remaining of the society views them.
Thesis: The American people see themselves as the rebels in The Star Wars original trilogy, instead, the Empire is a reflection of the U.S created by George Lucas as a protest against U.S imperialism during the Cold War.
It is impossible to think about the Star Wars Expanded Universe without the medium that formed the meat on its bones, the novel. The Star Wars Expanded Universe consists of hundreds of them. When looked at from a distance, quite daunting! But picking a novel to start with at random is often a rewarding experience. You can quickly find yourself wanting to know more about the characters and places within, whether you were just introduced to them or you were familiar with them from the movies.
The choice is theirs to cut off their leg and shoot a man or die. They chose not to die even though the consequence means someone else's demise. This is the premise for every saw movie made life and death decisions on a whim. All movies have this same dilemma or set of choices, maybe not as violent but still decisions need to be made. A man with a thousand faces a book to describe this phenomenon of movie magic and all storyline progression. The themes are simple as Joseph Campbell describes in the book pointing out that every story has a repetitious style stolen throughout history. Every motion and step already taken a hundred times before. Of course, this gets old after a while so the scenery changes with the people, but the steps are still
