Need Help with Star Wars?!

As we all know, our paper on Star Wars is due tomorrow. Just in case there are people out there who have been slacking, I figured I would post this to help you out. The 'Angry Nintendo Nerd' came out with one of the best reviews and quick symbolic references for Star Wars probably out there in YouTube Land.

So this first video is solely for the triology (old ones). It's pretty solid. Just ignore that we haven't gone over The Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi.


This second video is good for the triology once again (not really for your paper, but just nice to know) until around 6:15. Then it goes straight to the movies that some of you have seen growing up.


I hope in any way, it helped you.

September 22, 2009 -- POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY!

Man oh Man!!! The alumni are REPRESENTING...and the current students are SNOOZIN!!! Where are you? Alumni get a gold star! None for current FIers...oh snap...no he didn't just call you out! Oh yes he did.

All right, well your assignment for this weekend...which five alumni will comment on...is to consider the archetypal references in Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope for the geeks in the audience). Widdy will review some more tomorrow like Man vs. Nature or Man vs. Machine. Do not forget the 7 standard character archetypes discussed today. Over the next few days, take good notes anytime you see evidence of an archetype at play in the film. Analyze it. Consider its importance. For Monday, write a one to two page paper identifying one or a few archetypes in the film. Define the archetype, reference its place and importance to the film. Then, in the body of the paper, discuss the thematic importance. What message is the filmmaker trying to send? Oh, and just to add further insult to injury...I am totally gonna collect notebooks tomorrow, but most of you are not reading this, and will be caught with incomplete journals. Then when you read this tomorrow (which will be today as you read it), you will feel bad because you could've saved yourself the pain of incompletion by reading the blog. Maybe, just maybe, however, you are reading this message tonight (which will be yesterday for those of you reading this tomorrow, which is today while you are reading this) and will be saved. You will run to your journals, complete them and sleep a blissful, comfortable sleep. Maybe someone has been saved from doom. So, you know...lesson learned...reading the blog as muy bueno for your constitution. Booya!
