The Modern Mythology of Star Wars - 'Phantom Menace'

Abstract: This 7 page report discusses the upcoming 'prequel' for the 'Star Wars' trilogies of movies and the role of 'Star Wars' as modern mythology. Throughout the earlier movies, Luke Skywalker traces a path that can best be described in mythic terms as "the hero's journey." 'Phantom Menace' now shows the audience the world in which the myth was created and the circumstances that made it unfold in the ways it did. Numerous mythic elements play important parts in 'Phantom Menace,' all of which combine to create a new, mythological 'classic.' Bibliography lists 7 sources.
