The Journey of Luke Skywalker: An Analysis of Modern Myth and Symbol Paperback - 2001

by Steven A. Galipeau

Jungian analyst Calipeu believes that "Star Wars" speaks to our deepest psychological and spiritual dilemmas. From Princess Leia's domination by Darth Vader to the introduction of The Force, from the Ewoks to the Stormtroopers, the author shows how and why the movies' themes and conflicts mirror our own. 12 illustrations.


From the publisher

So many years after Star Wars: A New Hope burst upon the world in 1977, why is The Force still with us? Why do the Star Wars movies continue to haunt the imaginations of young and old alike? In the Journey of Luke Skywalker, Steven Galipeau applied depth psychology to the Star Wars epic, uncovering a wealth of symbolic meaning embedded in this seemingly simple tale of adventure. Luke Skywalker's journey, from his early life on a desert farm to his act of redemption that helps transform an entire galactic civilization, captures many of the struggles of the modern psyche, and exercises a powerful sway akin to that of religious myth
