Why do people love Star Wars? This
week in class we discussed star wars and how much of an impact it’s had in the
sci-fi world. So why do people love star
wars so much? Okay if we think about it star wars is a total of 6 movies, there
isn’t that many 6 movie series out there, that have been successful. Second
people have always loved the idea of planets and universes outside of earth and
this movie series definitely makes you believe that and experience that in
different ways.
I think star wars works so well
because its this epic story that we get to experience; love, betrayal, growing
up, questioning the differences between right and wrong, how much power is
necessary to be a great hero, aliens, epic battles, epic fights and much much
more. Especially with seeing characters growing up in this series it adds so
much more because you get to see how this character changes and makes his/her
decisions over the course of 6 movies. These movies also show a lot of heroes
dying and falling to the dark side which in normal hero journey movies doesn’t
really happen. Usually the hero is always good until the end. We see this a lot
with Anakin skywalker, This hero that had such great potential to be the
greatest jedi, ends up becoming one of the greatest super villians of all time.
For the audience to see something like that happen to a character really
effects you emotionally because the character becomes more relatable, all of a
sudden there not just this typical perfect hero.
Besides Anakin’s transformation, we get to watch
Luke Skywalker grow up into a mature and powerful jedi. This part of the series
is very interesting because when Luke Skywalker has to fight Darth Vader
(Father Anakin) , it’s very conflicting watching a father and son fight for two
separate sides. Finally I think people love star wars so much because you feel
like you’re experiencing a different universe or planet because of the sets and
costume design and special effects. Ever since most people were little kids
they dreamed of going to space and star wars does that
