    Both also have a sort of supernatural force helping them, giving them an advantage over ordinary people. Luke learns the ways of the "force" which about three other people have mastered: Darth Vader who is evil, Obi-Wan his mentor, and Yoda (who he does not know yet). Bruce learns the ways of advanced ancient Ninjitsu and the ways of being one with the shadows. The two of them are also both very limited in their allies fighting against a world of evil. Luke is contained to Obi-Wan, Chewbacca, Han Solo, and eventually Leah. Bruce is limited to the few uncorrupt people in his city, Alfred, Mr. Fox, Jim Gordon, and Rachel. During the ordeal, both hero's have a long line of conflict that they must deal with. Bruce has to save Rachel, escape his on fire mansion, fight Ra's al Ghul, and then stop the city from going crazy from the gas. Luke must save Leia, escape a trash compacter, watch Obi-Wan die, escape Darth Vader's station, and finally come back to destroy it.

  • The Influence of Star Wars in Today´s Culture

    552 Words  | 2 Pages

    Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.

  • Anakin Skywalker's Similar Process In Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith

    315 Words  | 1 Pages

    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

  • Luke Cage Character Analysis

    In the spirit of being fair I want to admit that there were times that i genuinely enjoyed Luke Cage, well kind of. I didn’t hate it right away. I was perplexed at times, but I could still watch it. There were a few problems that I noticed early like the tone was too somber at times and with the exception of the main villain Cottonmouth, played exceptionally well by Mahershala Ali, the acting wasn’t Emmy worthy by any means. The first six episodes of the show were shaky at times, but still watchable. My fiancé, who hates superhero flicks but still dressed as batgirl when I took her to see Batman vs Superman (story for another day), loved the first six episodes we watched. She thought Colter was a hunk (I’m speaking for her as she never outright
