Blog Assignment8-Characters Analysis In Original Star Wars






Star Wars are a series of science fiction movies conceived and directed by George Lucas. Up to now, George Lucas has directed six films and the final one is released on May, 2005 called Revenge of the Sith. The first one is originally released on May 5, 1977, called A New Hope, in this one, there are two characters which give me great impression and let me focus on. The first is the small droid R2-D2, it is one of the four main protagonists to appear in all six Star Wars films. If you don't know this droid before and you see it from a long distance, you may think that is a dustbin in error. I consider this would be one of the reasons why R2-D2 is special from other robots in other science fiction movies. In A New Hope, The with small droid Leia's plans and C-3PO escapes to the surface of the desert planet Tatooine where is the place Luke Skywalker living in. In many plots, R2-D2 is always play a key role. When Luke, princess Leia and Rebel Alliance are fall into the big dustbin and almost be crashed. In this urgent moment, it's R2-D2 who saves all these three most important figures. And with the cute appearance, R2-D2 become one of my favourite characters in Star Wars. R2-D2 also be designed and manufactured in different fields. Like R2-D2 dustbin, toy, souvenir, etc.... it seems like R2-D2 has become the symbol of the Star Wars series.

Another character I want to talk about is droid C-3PO, this gold surface droid looks more humanization cause it can speak and keep breaking jests. In the movie, C-3PO bring lots of happiness, without this character, the movie may possibly looks more boring. In fact, a large number of movies use this kind of character to make film plots more humorous. For example, in Transformers 2, we can also find some characters like C-3PO, except Leo, we can also see a red and a green Chevrolet autobots. These two brothers have the function of producing a lively and happy atmosphere in the film. When Prime transfer his body for fight, audience will scream"awesome". The red and green small autobots are not that strong, but their attitude are always optimistic, they are not important, but they are absolutely necessary elements in films.

  1. This seems like a good start but should be longer. You should give more details on something like Transformers because you need to explain it to a new audience (me) so that I can really understand the comparisons between those droids and the ones in Star Wars. Also you might want to think about how the comic duo doesn't always have to be robots - but there are many "bumbling duo" movies - Laurel and Hardy, etc... which could still be related to our friends the robots.
