For over the last 40 years, Star Wars has had enormous influences on society, though it is a story that has been retold countless times. George Lucas, an American Filmmaker echoed American Romantic and Transcendental ideas in his creation of Star Wars, which is perfectly seen when you compare the steps of the Hero's Journey and the journey of Star War's main protagonist, Luke Skywalker. There are many parallels between the two, especially in Return of the Jedi, the end of Luke Skywalker's Journey, and the last 3 steps of the Heroic Journey.

The first one is how king arther was the boss and the leader. Through my life my Dad has been the main leader and the king of the house. When ever I got in trouble he would be the one to always yell at me and put me in my place. Even when it wasn't me and it was my brother he would still put my brother in his place. The next reason is how luke was the hero in all the movies when he came into the picture. He was just like odysseus how he was the savior. I always looked at my brother as he was the savior in my eyes. When ever I was having a bad day he was always there to see what was wrong
