REVENGE OF THE SITH Star Wars, Episode III This story happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It is already over. Nothing can be done to change it. It is a story of love and loss, brotherhood and betrayal, courage and sacrifice and the death of dreams. It is a story of the blurred line between our best and our worst. It is the story of the end of an age. A strange thing about stories— Though this all happened so long ago and so far away that words cannot describe the time
The Star Wars prequels were hated by a lot of people but, are they that bad? Some complaints against the prequels have been restated over and over again so much so that it’s just accepted as fact that the prequels are horrible movies that “ruined star wars” but are they? It didn’t live up to the hype leading up to the first movie but how could it? Showing Darth Vader the great mysterious villain as the eight year old boy nick named Annie was an odd choice destroying the mystery of one of the greats

The Star Wars Trilogy always have one thing that is stated: the Force. The Force is an unlimited power that is in every living objects. As exciting as that sounds, the idea of the Force has been created out of many religions. The idea of the Force came from different religion such as: Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity Taoism is related in the Force because the Force was viewed as energy around everything. When Obi-Wan told Luke that he should let go of his sight and follow the instincts
The binary thought process and power dynamic invoked by Western history is very similar to the same thought process and power struggle the Jedi face with the "Others" in their universe. In the fictional universe of Star Wars, the Jedi are the guardians of the Star Wars universe, and the only beings powered by the mystical energy of the Force. The Force gives their lightsabers energy and gives them a constant source of "power", much like a wizard uses magic. The Jedi, the most powerful beings in the
“Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones” Star Wars is a testament to film excellence. The original trilogy was released and the world went nuts over the science fiction universe that George Lucas had created. Then came the prequels that did not receive as much admiration as the original trilogy. “Clones” falls into the prequel category. This movie sets up a young Jedi’s fall to darkness through emotions such as love and anger (which are prohibited within the jedi order). While mostly negative

Star Wars is the biggest influence and best rated sci-fi series in all of America. With unforgettable characters, unique weapons and aircraft, and powerful mythology, Star Wars has shaped how all outer-planetary sci-fi movies and shows are made today. Although many people think Star Wars is an exact replica of Star Trek, they are sadly mistaken. Time frame, species, events, mythology, characters, it’s all different and in no way better than Star Wars. Star Wars began with one mans stellar imagination
In Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex and George Lucas’ Star Wars, the protagonists Oedipus and Anakin Skywalker share the same fatal flaw of hubris. Regarded as the saviors of their respective worlds, their pride and arrogance lead to their suffering and downfall. In Oedipus Rex, Oedipus’ unfailing pride and self-assurance causes him to ostracize his allies and blinds him to the truth, leading to his exile. In Star Wars, Anakin’s pursuit of power leads him to reject the counsel of his closest friends, while
the most horrible events imaginable. One person who used power for evil was a character from the movie Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith created by George Lucas. The characters name was Chancellor Palpatine. In a span of about fifteen years, he was able to manipulate the political system of the Galactic Republic so that he would come to power. With various events such as the Clone Wars, he gained more and more power as Chancellor, so much so that the only thing that the Chancellor feared
1977's Star Wars that changed everything. A deceptively simple morality tale of good versus evil told across a fantastic landscape of exotic planets and bizarre creatures, Star Wars became an international phenomenon, despite the fact that few saw its potential during production. Refusing to accept the limitations of filmmaking at the time, Lucas created his own visual effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, to deliver the more than 300 shots required to make his vision a reality. Star Wars broke
As Stephen Mitchell stated, “(Gilgamesh is) the oldest story in the world, a thousand years older than the Iliad or the Bible” (Mitchell, 1). Gilgamesh is the oldest text we have from the B.C./B.C.E times. Majority of scholars believe that the main theme of the book is Immortality. Therefore, it is arguable that other themes are much more important. Gilgamesh is by far the oldest known text in today’s age. Through analyzation, we know one of the main themes of the story is immortality; however, that
The opening theme of Star Wars begins with a fortissimo tonic chord and a nostalgic fanfare that serves to remind the audience of themes such as Alfred Newman’s 1933 Twentieth Century Fox fanfare. This opening theme makes a dramatic statement that contrasts with the following lyrical section beginning in measure twenty. The violins, woodwinds and even harp take over the dominating brass section. Williams often employs the use of a perfect fifth interval, an interval that can be dated back centuries

In 1876, the first patent for a “video camera” was filed by a man named Wordsworth Donisthorpe. Donisthorpe’s “kinesigraph” as he called it, functioned by utilizing a series of lenses to take pictures onto celluloid film in rapid succession to give the illusion of moving images. Donisthorpe made his first video on the kinesigraph in 1890. The film he produced showcased the traffic of London’s Trafalgar Square. Today, only 10 frames of this movie remain in an archive. In an age dominated by obsession
Is the creation of human organs via 3D printing morally acceptable? How could a printer cause one to lose his or her life? How do 3D printers attack the environment that is so sacredly protected? What will happen to the economy if everyone is able to own these mini factories? Printers allow for easier sharing of computer data and other visual objects. However, in this rapidly accelerating technology boom, a new type of printer has been created. This new printer has the ability to print three-dimensional

or when my grandfather was in the hospital, there are many routes you can take to understand me. The first film I truly remember seeing in theaters was with my grandma. The year was 2002. I was five years old. And the movie was Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. Later, I came to the realization that the film was garbage and that modern-day George Lucas has a very loose definition of “film.” However, as a kid, it was beyond words. To sit in a theater and see the glow of a beaming world
