Cycle of the Hero

Call to Adventure:This is when Luck finds R2-D2 and realizes that R2-D2 has a message for Obi Wan Kenobi. When they find him there is a message from Princess Leia needing the help of Obi Wan Kenobi. Obi tries to convince Luke to become a Jedi. He doesn't want to, but when they go back to his house he finds out that his aunt and uncle are dead and he has nothing for him at his house. He decides to join and help Obi Wan Kenobi.
Helper: Han Salo, R2-D2, Obi Wan Kenobi, C3P0 all helped in some ways. Han Salo helped Luke save Princess Leia and save him when he was about to get killed from Darth Vader. R2-D2 and C3PO helped Luke just by being there pretty much. If Luke didn't find them, he would have never meet Obi Wan, Han and Princess Leia.
Threshold of Adventure: R2-D2, Luke, Obi Wan Kenobi, and C3P0 go to the bar to meet Han Salo and his friend Chewbacca when they realize that they are a lot of alien/creatures from Darth Vader's team from the past or criminals. They realize that this is serious. They get Han to be their pilot only for a big price. But he ends up being a big help to saving Princess Leia and saving the planet.
Tests: One of the first test is trying to rescue Princess Leia. They get her out just in time, but because of the gun fighting they land in a garbage disposal. The walls start to cave in, but at the last min C3PO stop it to save their lives. The other one is when Luke and Princess Leia get split up from Chewbacca and Han. They have to fight off the army. When they are just about to the ship they see Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader fighting. Obi looks over and lets his sword down and sacrifices his life so Luke and the others can escape.
Other Helpers: The pilots with Luke when they went back to destroy Elddran, R2D2, and Han again when he came back to make sure Luke destroyed Elddran.
Triumph: The triumph is when Luke destroys Elddran and gets rid of Darth Vader. Everyone dies in order for him to save their planet.
Flight: The actual flight after destroying Elddran and going back to RebelBase.
Threshold Struggle: The threshold struggle is when they get back and Luke gets out of the plane and hugs everyone. When he is in his feeling special he finds out that R2D2 is hurt and may not make it through. He also realizes that the force will always be with him no matter what he does in his life.
Elixir: The very last scene is when Han and Luke get awarded. They are the true hero's in the movie.

Literary Archetypes

Hero: Luke SkyWalker is a hero because he stepped up to save Princess Leia and saved his planted RebelBase.
Antihero: I think the antihero is Han Salo because he doesn't want to believe in the force and all he cares about is his money in the beginning. He doesn't have hope for either "the force" or Luke. But even though he doesn't believe, he still helps out.
Wise Fool: Obi Wan Kenobi isn't really a fool. But he is wise and he knows what he is doing. He talked Luke in joining "the force" and when Luke needed help defeating Darth Vader, he was there to make sure Luke got the job done.
Devil Figure: Darth Vader is the devil figure because he turned against "the force" he wants to destroy the other planets and have his Galaxy rule. It's kind of like Hitler.
Outcast: Han Salo is really a loner. He owed money to a lot of people and didn't really know the way. He was just going around until he found his calling. Helping Luke.
Double: I think it is "the force". It has both good and evil. Good being Luke and bad being Darth Vader. Another double could be Han Salo. He is evil to a certain extent. He doesn't really know his way. He took Luke, Obi Wan and the roids to save Princess Leia because he wanted the money. He wasn't going to help Luke defeat Darth Vader because it was "suidical", but in the end he turned out to be one of the people saving the planet against Darth Vader.
Scapegoat: I think it is Obi Wan Kenobi because he scarf iced himself so Luke and be success full.
Temptress: The temptress is the dark side. It's seductive and beautiful. It tempts you because you don't know what it's like and you are curious about it. It's like stealing candy. You would never think of trying it, but it tempt you because it's a bad thing. You want to know what it's like to be bad for once. It tempted Darth into becoming evil and who knows it might tempt Luke.
Good Mother: Obviously it's Princess Leia because she takes care of Luke and Han when they are in trouble and she gives them encouragement to save the planet.

Tragic Man

I think the tragic hero is Darth Vader. He fits them all very well.

1. Belief in His Own Freedom:
Darth Vader does his own thing. He doesn't care what happens in the end; as long as he gets his way we will do anything. The only faith and courage I can come up with is that he only believes his way and only his way. He believes in the Dark Side.
2. Supreme Pride:
Darth thinks that nothing can go wrong with him. He thinks his poo doesn't stink. I think somewhat he is better than God. If there was God that they all believed in the movie. But all good tings must come to an end, right?
3. Capacity for Suffering:
I don't think he suffers from anything. Maybe that he can't get to his goal which is destroying everyone around him because people are always trying to stop him. It is true, he has no fear of death because he knows that people are going to rebel against him and try to kill him. I think he questions his actions more that the movie portrays him. And if he knew he was trying to kill his son, Luke, it may have been a different outcome in the story.
4. A Sense of Commitment:
He set a goal to defeat everyone. And he will do everything in his power to get the job done. it's his way or the highway. Once he sets his mind to it, nothing and no one will stop him. Or so he thinks.
5. Vigorous Protest:
He doesn't believe that what Luke and Obi Wan has anything to do with him. But when he finds out that his whole life could be in jeopardy he doest what he does best. Kill people. He can't have anyone coming in and ruining his plan. He has realize that since Obi Wan spoken to about "the force" to Luke, he needs to take "the force" down.
6. Transfiguration:
The only way he could have gone through a transfiguration is a different movie. From what we know he has always been a bad guy on the Dark Side. And from what the movie has told me, that he will always be a bad guy.
7. Impact:
Darth doesn't know what he wants. He wants to have everything to himself. He made some bad choices and sooner or later he'll find out what he did that was bad. Usually you can't have the dead guy die right away. So its kind of obviously that he will be back and better than he was. What goes around comes around. Even in a sci-fi movie there will be evil all around us. And there is nothing we can do about it. No matter how hard we try.

I do have to give credit to Heidi and Lara, reading their blogs made me think about all the stuff.
