Star Wars Scene-by-Scene

Star Wars Scene-by-Scene

In this new book by cultural critic John David Ebert, George Lucasâ€™s 1977 classic film Star Wars is analyzed in a scene-by-scene breakdown. Ebert takes the reader on a semiotic tour through each of the filmâ€™s images and scenes, commenting on their significance and relevance to areas of cultural discourse such as critical theory and comparative mythology. Ebert views the film as a Tale of Two Orbs, framing the conflict between the value systems represented by the orbs of the desert planet Tatooine (as a culturally specific world horizon) against those signified by the Death Star (as an example of a globalized Anti-World). In doing so, he argues for the film as the great national American epic: a multimedia spectacle that evades the traditional problems of literary regionalism by engulfing absolutely all of American Pop. Ebertâ€™s analysis is based on the 1997 rerelease of the film, which he tends, somewhat reluctantly, to prefer for its generally more polished, gleaming look. Just like a classic American roadster.
