A long time ago, in the late 1970s, a story from a galaxy far, far away came to theaters – its title – STAR WARS, A NEW HOPE, EPISODE IV. In the story, a young man named LUKE SKYWALKER dreams of a life of adventure, traveling away from his home planet of TATOOINE. The writer and director of the original movie was GEORGE LUCAS. What followed, spanning the next 40+ years, was the Skywalker legacy captured in three trilogies (a group or series of three related things), with the conclusion premiering in 2019 named STAR WARS: RISE OF SKYWALKER.

Lucas began a draft of his MASTERPIECE in the early 1970s in his office in MILL VALLEY with the intent to deliver an OPERATIC science fiction movie to the silver screen. He toiled daily on his writing, treating it as a full-time job. The rough draft “The Star Wars” was submitted in May 1974 with 191 scenes and 33,000 words and starred ANNIKIN STARKILLER, who trains to become a Jedi Bendu under 70-year-old Luke Skywalker. Over the years, multiple drafts adjusted characters, locations, and storylines, leading to the finalized story of a young Luke Skywalker discovering his DESTINY to become a JEDI (a member of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films trained to guard peace and justice in the Universe). Luke begins training in THE FORCE, which in the movie is a mysterious energy field created by life that binds the galaxy together. Harnessing the force gives individuals sensitive to this spiritual energy extraordinary abilities.

Strong themes for life lessons are throughout the storyline. Whether it be the power of friendship among teams of DIVERSITY with each individual contributing their unique strength or the belief it is good in everyone and no one is beyond saving. The story alludes to components that echo GREEK TRAGEDY (a play dealing with tragic events and having an unhappy ending, especially one concerning the downfall of the main character) with family lineage and destiny at its core, but the Story Wars in Episode IX ends more optimistically. Quotes from the movie series have become familiar within mainstream culture and include “May the force be with you” and “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” YODA, the consummate Jedi arriving for his first appearance on the screen in 1980 in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, is a source of wisdom for managing life’s challenges.
