The Star Wars Trilogy and the Epic Tradition

The Star Wars trilogy and the epic traditional Star Wars trilogy seem to embody the classical elements of many epics in the form of a movie. Following Homer's Ord to Tom Jones's British epic on a big screen, observing the development of various forms of epic to deal with changing cultural needs, Star Wars trilogy is a traditional epic and It also shows whether to share purpose and cultural function. By linking these movies to the epic, I would like to reveal how epic evolutionary forms present movie formats.

It can be said that the subsequent epic tradition of Star Wars starts not with the trilogy of the previous trilogy but from the universe (EU) expanded with Star Wars. The EU includes partnerships with Star Wars world beyond movies, television, computers, video games, comics, toys. The first "Secondary" Star Wars epic may be a continuing novel like the decompression trilogy of Timothy Zahn in the early 1990s. Although there are books rather than movies, I use cultural idioms similar to the original movies.

But Howley's claim depends on three Star Wars films (the original trilogy, the first part trilogy, and the second part trilogy). It is itself an "epic" - it depends on understanding the whole classical epic tradition. This tradition started out with Homer Irriad and Odyssey, sometimes called "primary" epic. Because they were preserved for future generations and represented examples of later classical epics. The history of Homer's poetry can be traced back from 700 BC to 520 BC. They are unique artifacts of long-term oral tradition; they pick and recall episodes from the familiar Trojan War Myth - Achilles' Wrath and Return of Odysseus - the languages ​​and instruments of established poetry Reinvent and extend them in their own way with use

In the classic epic plan, the original Star Wars trilogy corresponds to Iliad and Odyssey as the "main" epic. As Homer 's epic became the most famous and admired poetry of Greek literature and culture and inspired the strong literary tradition, the original trilogy (even if not honored) is the most widely known and most widely known It is popular. One of the creative products. America produced two episodes of the sequel movie. As a matter of fact, the trilogy is actually more "primary" than Homer 's epic, that story is new and was invented by George Lucas and his co - authors. In story mode, an established SF novel type works inspired by other movie types such as Westerners and ancient and modern history.
