It just doesn't get better than Star Wars. George Lucas took the classic hero journey and created absolute magic in a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away. (My kids love this picture with their faces in the image of Luke & Leia!) I am fascinated by the archetype of the hero/heroine journey. It's the best of what we hope our life is. A quest, a wise mentor, a brave friend, a love, evil vanquished, and a lesson learned. Sounds like a good day.
Hero stories that I love:
Star Wars
Harry Potter
Dragon Flight
Ella Enchanted
Eragon
The Goose Girl
Lord of the Rings
Chronicles of Narnia
The Princess Bride
Hmmm, I know there are more I can't think of right now. What are your favorite hero journeys?
Did I mention I own Princess Leia buns? :-)
