Darth Maul backed away from the holographic projector and set the Infiltrator's course for the city of Theed on Naboo. His master, once again had assigned him an assassination mission. He had eliminated most of the heads of the black sun and other gang organizations--he had even killed padawan learners but this was different. On this particular occasion he had been instructed to eliminate a Jedi master, something that made Lord Maul sit on the edge of his seat. The tattooed Zabrak sat back at the controls and let the ship take its course. Maul decided to sit in deep meditation. Stretching out with the force, he tried to foresee what was about to happen; the future seemed to be clouded even to the dark side. Perhaps this was why his master, the only one he had ever …show more content…
This: "Anakin Skywalker" was so strong in the force, stronger than anything Maul had ever felt. He didn't even need the probe droids that came equipped with the ship to track him, he needed only the force. This boy if trained properly could change the course of the Galaxy. The child's midichlorian count was so high, Maul only needed to be in the same star system to sniff him out. Darth Maul knew only to hunt and kill. Just as it had been since his master saved him as a weak child on Dathomir and trained him on the harsh winter planet that was Mygeeto. He had such a natural hatred for the Jedi. It was this same hatred that woke him up every night and drove him to climb the peaks of Coruscant just to catch sight of the Jedi scum in their high temple. Just the thought had made Maul ball his fists so hard he thought his veins just might burst out of his arm. He furiously snapped out of meditation, his hatred never let him focus. He longed for the training from his master that would allow him to focus solely on the dark side. His eyes gazed out at the stars around him, he focused on the soft hum from the Infiltrator's
He is being forced to abide by the rules in prison and at first, does not get a warm welcome by his fellow prisoners because he refuses to abide by the captains order which is simply to get their minds right. He is soon challenged to a fight by one of his fellow inmates. Throughout the fight, it is clear that Luke is being brutally beaten. He can barely stand up on his feet but he refuses to give up. To me, this is a sign of resistance of power because he does not want to just face the fact that he lost this battle.
Unlike Odysseus, Luke listens to directions carefully and tries his best to save people. When Luke was trying to defeat the Death Star, he heard Obi Wan Kenobi in his mind. Obi Wan Kenobi told Luke to believe in The Force. Luke being
The prevalence of balance throughout the Star Wars universe is evident from the beginning. All through the series “The Force” is referenced to as a delicate balance that needs to be kept in order. Although “The Force” is referenced as being strong with one character or another, it would appear that both sides of it, Light and Dark, seem to equal out. Yoda hints at this by denying that the dark side of the force is stronger than the light side (Episode V). The Force is also a balance within oneself that can easily switch from Light to Dark if a Jedi is unwary. While in the Dagobah system, Luke is warned by Yoda to “Beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny”. This balance is an essential part of the Star Wars universe just as it is in the real world.
The “Star Wars” franchise is familiar to most, and may be the easiest in which to discover the hero’s journey. In “Star Wars,” we find young Luke Skywalker, a rebellious youth, living on a farm on the isolated planet of Tatooine, taken in by his aunt and uncle following the death of his mother and father. Luke grows up with dreams of flying through the stars, only dreams until his chance meeting with Ben Kenobi. Kenobi informs Luke of his real past: that his father was a Jedi knight and that Luke was destined to become great. Though Kenobi’s guidance and Luke own adventurous spirit, he finds himself pushed into an intergalactic quest to become a valiant Jedi in a galaxy controlled by the evil Empire.
Yes, he did have a bit of a dark side, along with his light side. He was in many wars and killed thousands of people. He was very troubled. But after conquering Kalinga, he was questioning himself on why people in his empire were suffering. Others may argue, that he was ruthless because of all the deaths and conquerings in their town or others. But he later on felt horrible about his past. Which is one of many reasons he switched to
The first idea I will be looking at is that Star Wars is a type of
...hen Luke discovers that Ben is really Obi-Wan, an old Jedi Knight who has been hiding, which allows Luke to begin to understand the Force and why it acts the way that it does, as well as the conflict between good and evil; when they find the thermal port in the Death Star plans that will allow them to blow it up, which allows them to go out on a mission to destroy the Death Star; When Luke finds the battle plans and message to Obi-Wan as he is cleaning R2-D2, giving him the allowance to question what is really going on and eventually join the Rebel Alliance
The constant theme throughout this movie is the battle between good and evil, right and wrong, and light and dark. Anakin Skywalker is the main protagonist throughout this film. There is an internal fight going on within him concerning what side of the force he should follow. The light side means he would have to allow Padme, his wife, to die. The dark side would allow him to save her or at least have the fear of losing her. He slowly starts to turn to the dark side with guidance from Darth Sidious (Chancellor Palpatine). Anakin believes he is doing the right thing which in turn will save Padme from dying in childbirth.
Attila was born in a chariot where he later learned to first ride on the back of a sheep. He had a great pride of strength. He maintained a strong relationship with his father King Mundzuk. However, after his father’s death, his uncle Rugila took over the throne. Attila at the age of 12 was sent away as a child hostage to the Roman Court of Honorius. Ruglia’s plan was to spread the Roman influence into the foreign lands. Attila on the other hand, greatly resisted the publicity. He then began to observe the empires policies and practices. After many failed attempts of escaping, he decided to study and observe the empire. Through his observations, he learned about leadership, practices, and the other fundamentals suited for future rulers.
Anakin Skywalker underwent a similar process in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Toward the beginning of the movie, Anakin was tempted by the Chancellor Palpatine on General Grievous's personal Separatist craft “The Invisible Hand” during the battle of Coruscant to kill Sith Lord Count Dooku. Anakin had no intent to kill Dooku, to begin with, but was tempted him to do so. Palpatine remarks, “Kill him. Kill him now.” Palpatine acts as a temptation from the devil and marks the beginning of the end of Anakin Skywalker and his transition to Darth Vader. When Anakin had become Darth Vader, the mask was put on. He felt no empathy for his actions, especially after killing younglings in the Jedi Temple. The mask had taken control of his vision and blinded

What is wrong with playing Star Wars on the playground? I thought that I was having fun pretending to be Ren Starlock, Jedi Master, but as it turns out I was actually an outcast whom the other kids considered a loser. Considering I was in first grade, I’m sure that the other kids didn’t care that I was playing by myself, but the teachers thought otherwise. I was ordered to the Guidance office. Not knowing why, I reluctantly went thinking I was in some sort of trouble. “Your teachers are worried about you J. They noticed that you are playing by yourself during recess and we were wondering if there was something wrong.” “Well, I wanted to play Star War with the other kids, but they said no. So I decided to play by myself.” “Well, we are really
Oftentimes, he would take the front line and risk his life to death. He himself would load the cannon which was supposed to be the commander’s job. At the end of the battle, he would rise up covered with filth and gun powder. With this act, his followers felt a great sense of awe which made them feel like he was one of them.
