Heroic Qualities In Luke's Journey
The Introduction:
Luke SkyWalker’s journey begins in Star Wars A New Hope during a long period of civil war. Rebel spaceships strike from a hidden base, winning their first victory against the Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies stole secret plans to the Empire’s DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet.
Ordinary World:
Luke Starts his Adventure on his aunt Beru, and uncle Owen’s moisture farm on the desert planet of Tatooine. No Heroic qualities have been expressed at this point in Luke’s Journey, and really picks up later when the story develops into something deeper then it set out to be.
Call to Adventure:

Luke still refuses his offer, but Luke returns home finding a brutal scene; his aunt, and uncle murdered, and home destroyed. In this part of his journey I see a lack of heroic qualities in Luke, but I see developing heroic qualities expressed by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Mentor/Helper:
Obi-wan Kenobi is Luke Skywalker’s mentor and helper. Luke meets Obi-Wan after a run-in with Sand People chasing R2-D2 into the desert. Obi-Wan Kenobi explains about the Jedi, and the Force. He spent a great deal of time teaching Luke valuable lessons about the force/Jedi. Another step in Luke’s Journey where I see a lack of heroic qualities developing.
Crossing the Threshold:
Luke crosses the threshold when he leaves his home on Tatooine, and travels to the Mos Eisley Spaceport. With Obi-Wan's guidance and Luke's commitment to the journey see him through. In this step Luke expresses bravery, and courage where he is about to embark on a great journey. He doesn't know in this now, but he ends up saving the galaxy.
