Star Wars episode IV A New Hope is a 20th century classic which embodies: the socio-cultural dynamic that the power balance throughout the galaxy constantly changes, a show of respect for elders on both the good and bad sides of the force, and a diverse cast of individuals all working together towards a similar goal.

This man is known as Chancellor Palpatine, otherwise known as Darth Sidious. Sidious despite not making a direct appearance within Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, essentially set the tone for how the events within the fourth instilment of the Star Wars saga play out for two primary reasons.

Fortunately, for Chancellor Palpatine this process was relatively simplistic. Deriving from the fact, that prior to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope Anakin Skywalker witnessed the death during childbirth of his belated wife Padme Amadala while giving birth to Luke Skywalker.

    The Force Awakens mirrors a new hope – the second complicates the saga by introducing doubt, failure and sadness. Fans are indeed upset with many of director Rian Johnson’s choices in The Last Jedi. And it is often the choices that complicate franchise canon and characters that have stirred up the most anger. The Star Wars movie is evidently a broken film with a budget of 200-217 million…
