Star Wars IV: A New Hope - comments here please!

I was thinking about the Leia/Vader/evil syringe robot scene, yes. Good point about the other uses of colour, but still the colours are something to think about.

Yay Han!

Han could be revealing that he's found a way to fold space.

He's the doctor!

Shoot first, Han, shoot first! Aaw, you didn't.

Or Lucas doesn't science.

Oh look. There's a locked door, let's not try and find out why...

mine they shot at the same time. a small concession on lucus's part

I hate this added scene...

Wow Jabba looks so realistic and not at all like a video game character. I miss the puppets.

I got same time too, but I think we all know how it really went down. And this Jabba scene is the worst.

Further things to watch for as we go:
THE ARCHETYPE

ARCHETYPES are recurring patterns of human behavior, symbolized by standard types of characters in movies and stories.

HEROES

Central figures in stories. Everyone is the hero of his or her own myth.

SHADOWS

Villains and enemies, perhaps the enemy within. The dark side of the Force, the repressed possibilities of the hero, his or her potential for evil. Can be other kinds of repression, such as repressed grief, anger, frustration or creativity that is dangerous if it doesn’t have an outlet.

MENTORS

The hero’s guide or guiding principles. Yoda, Merlin, a great coach or teacher.

HERALD

One who brings the Call to Adventure. Could be a person or an event.

THRESHOLD GUARDIANS

The forces that stand in the way at important turning points, including jealous enemies, professional gatekeepers, or your own fears and doubts.

SHAPESHIFTERS

In stories, creatures like vampires or werewolves who change shape. In life, the shapeshifter represents change. The way other people (or our perceptions of them) keep changing. The opposite sex, the way people can be two-faced.

TRICKSTERS

Clowns and mischief-makers, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. Our own mischievous subconscious, urging us to change.

ALLIES

Characters who help the hero through the change. Sidekicks, buddies, girlfriends who advise the hero through the transitions of life.

The amount of product chewy must use to keep his fur all nice

Also, the imperial forces really need some target practice at the shooting range before their let out on the streets

Would Leia count as a shape-shifter?

Over the course of the trilogy, yes.

Cinnamon buns, anyone?

Everyone is far too trusting in this movie

I now have a theory that the Stormtroopers' bad aim is evidence that the Empire is an employer practicing affirmative action when it comes to sight-challenged workers.

Admin wrote:Also something to consider as we go along: p.65 of your resource book, the paragraph at the top. How does Leia fit into the journey?

No, she doesn't really fit these profiles b/c she herself is the fearless one who emerges the natural leader. She earns the respect of the others and her position by her actions. Louise

Oh, so they're an equal opportunity employer...

I'm glad they didn't have storm troopers running the death star, they probably would've missed Alderaan.

Very Jungian moment re unconscius

Maybe if you can actually see and shoot what you're aiming at you get promoted out of Strom troopers to other squads

Interesting seeing evil/bad guys being so trusting... usually seem to doubt everything
Also, why kill the person with the info you need?
