STAR WARS IS THE ICONIC film that George Lucas write and directed using Campbell's monomyth as a guide. Thus, it is an exemplar for mythology and cinematography students alike. We'll be watching the film and then discussing Luke's hero journey. You will also receive your LWFC annotations grades and begin your paper on Tita.

Tuesday

Part three of Star Wars. We'll watch the rescue of Princess Leia, the escape from the trash compacter, the death of Obi Wan Kenobi, and start of the assault on the Death Star.
HW: Read the first half of chapter two of the Beginner's Guide to Jungian Psychology, "the Psyche."
