What do you think of the section we just read about Star Wars and its connections to mythic archetypes?

Given our reading of the article about Star Wars and mythic origins at http://www.openculture.com/2012/11/joseph_campbell_and_bill_moyers_break_down_star_wars_as_myth.html, what would you like to discuss?

I would like to discuss the other types of mythic explorations mentioned in the video clip.

I think the audience cheers not when Ben tells him to trust the force, but when Han Solo swoops in and knocks Vader out of the picture!

Which ones?

Is Obi Wan still alive? Wait, this was a long long time ago in a distant galaxy, right?

I think you mean "a galaxy far, far away."
