The Tragic Man: ( Darth Vader )
A Belief in His Own Freedom:
Darth Vader makes all of his own choices and does what he wants and doesn't listen to anyone else. I don't think that he cares if anything happens to anyone else because he doesn't care about anyone elses pain. He is only focused if he is still the best one. If he doesn't get what he wants he usually ends up killing or hurting somebody.
A Supreme Pride:
Darth Vader thinks that he is the greatest around. He thinks that he is indestructable and noone can destory him. He thinks very highly of himself and wants to think of himself as a God. He seems very cocky about everything that he does. He wants to be the best.
Capacity for Suffering:
Darth Vader wants to take over the galaxy and destroy the Rebel Base. That is his only goal in his life. I think that he does what he does becasue the Dark Side took him over. He knows its know right but he can't control what the force brings him to do.
A Sense of Commitment:
Whenever Darth Vader says he is going to do something like destory the Rebel Base or take over the galaxy, that is what he is thinking. He won't give it up, he won't stop trying that is what his mind set is. He wants everything to go his way.
Vigorous Protest:
Darth Vader isn't happy but isn't all that mad that Luke and Obi have come to try and destroy him, because he knows that it is isn't his fault. They choose to come make this desicion. He is more mad that the force has come back.
Transfiguration:
I don't really see him going through any transfiguration in this movie. He never really shows that he is in any pain or never shows any agony. It could be when he joins the dark side but it doesn't show it in this movie.
Impact:
Darth Vader wants to become a hero. He use to be a good guy when when he got changed to the dark side he destroyed everything in his path and knew that that was the only way he felt better about himself. He knows what he is doing is wrong but he wants to be the man on top at the end of the day.

The Cycle of the Hero
Call to Adventure:
When Luke notices the picture that R2D2 is showing and he realizes that its Princess Leia and wants to set out and rescue her. He had to go find R2D2 because the ran away from where Luke had him and he got attacked by the sand people and thats when Obi Wan Kanobi comes and saves him. After that Obi becomes Lukes helper along the way. Obi gives Luke a lifesaver and is telling Luke what the message is all about and how Princess Leia is in trouble. Obi wants Luke to come with him but at first Luke didn't want to go but after seeing that his family has died he decided to follow Obi Wan Kanobi.
Threshold of Adventure:
This is when Luke, Obi Wan Kanobi, R2D2, and C3PO go to the bar to find someone to fly their ship for them so they can get to Alderaan. Some of Darth Vader's people cause problems in the bar. Finally they come upon a guy named Han Solo and his partner Chewbacca. Han decides he will help Luke but all he is wanting from all this is the money.
Tests:
One of the tests is to rescue Princess Leia. They have to land on Darth Vaders control station call the Death Star. They find their way to Princess Leia and rescue her. They find away out of the shootings but ends up in the garbage dump where the walls start to collapse in on them. They are able to get ahold of C3PO to stop the walls just in time!
Triumph:
The triumph is when Princess Leia brings them back to Rebel Base and Luke goes on to join the attack on the Death Star. Luke hears Obi in his head saying to use the force so Luke concentrates and uses the force to destory Death Star with help from Han Solo coming back and shooting the fighter pilots. They ended up blowing up the Death Star but didn't destory Darth Vader.
Flight:
The flight is the ship ride home to the Rebel Base after blowing up and destroying the Death Star.
Threshold Struggle:
The threshold struggle is when Luke and Han Solo return to the Rebel Base and are still alive. Luke sees R2D2 and is upset and sad that he is hurt but knows that he will get fixed. Luke realizes that the force will always be with him no matter where he is or no matter what he is doing.
Elixir:
The elixir is when Han and Luke get rewared with medals for their courage and bravery.

Literary Archetypes
Heroes and Antiheros
The hero in Star Wars is Luke because he goes out and saves the galaxy and goes out to save Princess Leia. The antihero is Han Solo because he is against the force and doesn't want to go with Luke to destroy the galaxy.
The Wise Fool
The wise fool is Obi Wan Kanobi. No one wants to believe anything he says. They just think he is an old man that doesn't have anything to say. But he is actually a very powerful guy. People judge him incorrectly.
The Devil Figure
The Devil figure in this story is Darth Vader. It was good but turned evil and is now trying to take control of the whole galaxy and destroy the Rebel Base.
The Outcast
The outcast I think is C3PO. He always just gets pushed aside and noone listens to him. He is just a dumb robot, but he actually has very intelligent things to say and good advice. Han Solo is also another outcast. He rebels against the force and God. He also wanders from place to place.
The Double
The double would be the force. The force can go 2 ways. There is the dark side and the good side. Luke is on the good side becoming a Jeti and Darth was on the good side and was a Jeti but then moved to the dark side.
The Scape Goat
The scape goat is Obi Wan Kanobi because he sacrafices himself in front of Luke because Luke isn't ready to be a Jeti but he knows if he dies then Luke will become one on his own and become stronger.
The Temptress
The temptress is the dark side of the force. It forces or brings you towords it to become part of it. When you become part of the dark side or come near it destruction always occurs.
The Good Mother
The good mother is Princess Leia. She provided nurturing and guidance for the group. She kept everyone together and kept everyone strong.

Heros and Themes
I think that one of the themes of this movie could be adventure because they all set out and go on a mission to save and rescue Princess Leia. They have to encounter many obstacles on their way to rescue her and to return back to their home planet.
Another is death and resurection. Oby Wan Kanobi sacrafices himself for Luke and then later in the movie he comes back through Luke and tells Luke where to go from there and gives him the power to fight Darth Vader.
Bravery is another. Luke was very brave to go out in the ships and risk everything so they could all return back to the rebel base safe. Oby was also brave to give up his life so Luke could go on in becoming a Jeti.
Some hero traits would be commitment. Luke was commited to saving the Princess and he never gave up trying. You also have to be selfless, brave and strong. They all knew that they would have to go through many challenges.
