The Mythology of Star Wars (1999): Cast

In this documentary, George Lucas explains how Joseph Campbell’s theory of the Monomyth—often called the Hero’s Journey—along with a range of mythological and religious motifs, directly shaped the narrative structure, characters and themes of the Star Wars saga. He details how archetypal figures such as the mentor, the shadow and the trickster, and classic mythic patterns were woven into the films, giving them a timeless, universal appeal.
