About Star Wars
Star Wars is an influential research fantasy saga and
fictional universe built by writer/producer/director George Lucas during the
1970s. The saga started with all the movie Star Wars, which was introduced on May 25,
1977. The movie, later retitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, became a pop
culture phenomenon—spawning five more feature movies, 3 spin-off movies,
five tv series, and a comprehensive collection of licensed books, comics,
games, and different products—all of that are set within a fictional
"galaxy far, far away."
An illustration of the room opera genre, the Star Wars story uses archetypal
motifs prevalent to both contemporary research fiction and historic mythology, and
the romantic music motifs of those genres. In 2005, Forbes Magazine estimated
the total revenue produced by the whole Star Wars franchise (over the
course of its history) at almost US billion, creating it the most
lucrative franchises of all time
.Themes
George Lucas embraces a design of epic storytelling that he pertains to as
"motifs"; popular themes and concepts which he changes somewhat each
time they recur. The concept is lifted from romantic (early 19th century)
music, but Lucas applies it both visually and as an key piece of his
storytelling.
On a bigger scale, there are numerous parallels between your authentic trilogy and
the prequel trilogy, as the stories of Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker
echo and reflect each additional in myriad methods.
The Force is regarded as the many recognizable ingredients of the Star Wars mythos. It
is described by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the authentic Star Wars movie as, "An
stamina field built by all living elements. It surrounds us, penetrates us, and
binds the galaxy together."
Those who may use the Force, like the Jedi, could work feats of telepathy,
psychokinesis, prescience (furthermore clairvoyance), and mental control. Two aspects
of the Force are emphasised: the light side and the dark side. The light side
of the Force is the facet aligned with superior, benevolence, and healing. The
dark side of the Force is aligned with worry, hatred, aggression, and
malevolence; this side of the Force appears more effective, specifically to people
who utilize it, because it is very driven by rage and hatred — its effects are more
direct and simpler and quicker to achieve. In fact, neither the light nor the
dark side of the Force is stronger than the additional, each possessing its own
blessings and disadvantages. As an example, the dark side conveys an inherent
drawback to its consumers, that is arrogance and overconfidence in their own
abilities. But, this aggression enables its acolytes to become more
formidable warriors — illustrated when Luke can finally overcome his
dad in battle as a result of his rage at the considered his sister turning to
the dark side. On the different hand, Jedi could sometimes become crippled by
their compassion and act "soft." This really is balanced by an ability to
stay calm even in extreme circumstances.
