Jungian archetypes
The original "Star Wars" trilogy made up of the movies "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi" have attracted commentary due to the character arc of series protagonist Luke Skywalker, a former farmer coming from a place of naivety and vulnerability to become a victorious hero. The films' creation intentionally drew upon Jungian archetypes of human psychology such that Skywalker's idealistic nature has gained an emotional resonance with audiences. The theory of the monomyth was important in the trilogy's coming into being as well.
