Long ago in a galaxy not so far away, George Lucas made
movie history. He blended archetypes of legends and visionary cinema to
revolutionize the film industry. The Star Wars films effectively
demonstrate the movement of the hero's journey and show a clear and simple
path through the many archetypes the hero encounters. Using the
model from Joseph Campbell's teachings, George Lucas was able to create an
entire universe of metaphors, symbols and myths
that express how we feel about good and evil, technology and faith.
Campbell defined the Hero Cycle, a course of events that
occurs as a rite of initiation in every myth, pinpointing the need for
mentors, villains, elixirs and jesters along the way. Each step can be
traced in the adventures of Star Wars. The Star Wars Saga contains
the same mythic structure that the ancient storytellers used to
fuel imaginations throughout the ages.
To follow this billion dollar
formula the main character in your story will need to encounter tests,
trials, ordeals, joys, and rewards; then meet all of his/hers shadows,
mentors, shapeshifters and threshold guardians.
