Star Wars and the Hero Myth

Critics of the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens have called the film unoriginal and
predictable because the story so closely mirrors the very first Star Wars film in 1977. But, in fact, both films
follow a structure that pre-dates all Hollywood films, that of the 'hero myth'. That's because director George
Lucas based Star Wars on the ideas in Joseph Campbell's 1949 book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Later
editions of Campbell's book even featured Star Wars' hero Luke Skywalker on the front cover.

In his book, Campbell analyses myths from all over the world to describe the 'monomyth' – a pattern that you
can see in myths from every culture. In short, a hero sets off from home on a journey, where he overcomes
obstacles and defeats enemies to return with a prize. It's a tale that has been told for thousands of years, from
the Ancient Greeks with The Odyssey to JK Rowling's Harry Potter books.

George Lucas was one of the early film directors to directly base his story on the 17 stages of the hero's
journey. Typically the hero starts the story living an ordinary life, but something happens that calls them to an
adventure that changes everything.

According to Campbell, the hero at first refuses the call to adventure, but a mentor appears who helps them
and they decide to 'cross the threshold' and travel into the 'special world' where the adventure happens. The
next stage consists of passing tests, fighting enemies and meeting friends as the hero prepares to face their
biggest challenge.

Next, the hero overcomes obstacles in order to face their greatest challenge. There often comes a moment
when they face death or loss and that experience gives them the strength to finally defeat the enemy. When
heroes succeed, they return from the special world, changed by their experiences forever.

Task A: Circle T for true and F for false. Correct the false statement/s on the blank lines below.

1 Joseph Campbell's original book cover has links to the Star Wars films. T F

2 Other film directors after George Lucas have carefully followed the hero myth structure. T F

3 The hero is always willing to accept the call to adventure. T F

Task B: Find the words in the text which mean:

4 Gets over
5 Be confronted with.
