In the article by Bui, et al., "Is Anakin Skywalker suffering from borderline personality disorder? (2011), they argue that Anakin Skywalker is suffering from borderline personality disorder and that this movie appeals to people because they can relate to his condition.  This article expands on how his life history emphasizes elements associated with borderline personality Anakin's character fulfills six of the nine borderline personality disorder criteria.  

This article is credible because it comes from a psychiatry research journal and it is written by five authors who are knowledgeable on the subject because they work in and do research in laboratories and hospitals dealing with traumatic stress and psychopathology.  Moreover, this article is accurate because the date of copyright is recent, 2009.  Also, this information agrees with other sources that are listed in the references section below the article like "Early traumatic life events, parental attitudes, family history, and birth risk factors in patients with borderline personality disorder and healthy controls."  The motivation or purpose for writing this article was to show readers how Anakin's downfall could be attributed to something greater than the rise of the dark side.  

I will be able to use this information to explain how Anakin qualifies to be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.  Additionally, I will be able to use this information to describe how people in real life have a connection to Anakin's condition.  This article has definitely opened my eyes up to the possibility of Anakin suffering from borderline personality disorder because I had never considered it before.

In the article by Kamp, "The Force Is Back" (Feb. 1999), the author provides the reader with a sneak peek at what the buzz behind Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace is all about.  We get a sneak preview of the plot and new characters with an interview with the director of the movie, George Lucas.  We also get to see several exclusive pictures taken by the American portrait photographer, Annie Leibovitz, on the set in Tunisia where the scenes on Tatooine were filmed. 

This article is credible because it comes from the respected, well-known, and reliable magazine, Vanity Fair and the author is talking directly with the director of the movie, the man himself, George Lucas.  In addition, this article is accurate because the date of copyright, February 1999, was close to the movie's release date on May 19, 1999.  The motivation or purpose for writing the article was to offer insight into the upcoming Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace. 

I will be able to use this information to describe the background, origins, and inspiration behind the creation of Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.  Moreover, I will try to capture the hype surrounding the release and transfer it to my readers.  I actually have my own hard copy of this magazine that I bought from Amazon, so I will also try to have my readers feel the excitement I felt when I read this article for the very first time a few months ago back in January. 

Star Wars. "The Beginning: Making Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (Full Version)."   Online video clip. YouTube. YouTube, 5 Apr. 2014. Web. 12 Apr. 2014.

In this YouTube video uploaded by the official Star Wars channel, "The Beginning: Making Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace (Full Version)" (Apr. 5, 2014), viewers literally get to watch the nearly full process of how this episode was made from the very beginning.  We are able to witness the full scale undertaking of this project from the very eyes of its creators (director, producer, cast, editors, writers, etc.) from the set and behind the scenes. 

This YouTube video is credible because it was uploaded by the official Star Wars channel and we see and hear direct conversations with people who were involved in making the movie.  Moreover, this YouTube video is accurate because it was filmed during the whole filming process of the movie from 1997-1999.  This video can actually also be found on the bonus DVD of Star Wars: Episode I-The Phantom Menace.  The motivation or purpose for making this video was to offer an in-depth look at what exactly it took to make this movie.  It's more personal because the people who are in it were directly involved every step of the way. 

I will be able to use this information to exemplify to my readers the enormous task of creating this movie.  I have watched this video several times myself before I received this blog project and I think it effectively shows the challenges and accomplishments that the filmmakers had to persevere through before the movie was released on the big screen.  This video seems very complete and thorough in terms of showing the filmmaking process.

In the article by Vigil, "The nerds line up deep just to have some fun" (May 19, 2005), the author provides the reader with information about fans camping and lining up once again in front of movie theaters to catch the first screenings.  Hardcore, diehard Star Wars fans are no longer waiting outside the Coronet movie theater though because this historic movie theater is sadly no longer standing as it was unfortunately demolished months earlier the same year.  Consequently, these same fans are still going to other movie theaters, just not the Coronet.  Even though there isn't a great need to camp out anymore, fans still do it for the fun of the experience.  We get interviews with and pictures of some of these hardcore, diehard Star Wars fans again.

I will be able to use this information to show that Star Wars fans are one of the most hardcore, diehard fandoms.  I will attempt to indicate that there are no fans like Star Wars fans and that the love for the Star Wars saga has extended through many generations.

In this article by Krantz, et al., "Disney buys Lucasflim for $4 billion" (Oct. 30, 3012), they talk about how Disney bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion, thus acquiring the Star Wars franchise.  This buyout occurred between Disney CEO Robert Iger and Lucasfilm chairman and CEO George Lucas.  They also discuss what Disney is planning to do with the Star Wars saga after this buyout.  There is also a picture of Robert Iger and George Lucas apparently shaking hands on the deal. 

 

This article is credible because it comes from the national American daily newspaper, USA Today, which has the widest circulation of any newspaper in the U.S. and the authors quote the CEOs of Disney and Lucasfilm, Robert Iger and George Lucas.  The authors also quote other people who represent Lucasfilm and people involved in the movie business.  Moreover, this article is accurate because the date of copyright, Oct. 30, 2012, is close to when Disney closed the deal on October 26th.  The motivation or purpose for writing this article was to explain to readers how Disney bought Lucasfilm and what Disney plans to do with the Star Wars saga after their acquisition.

In the article by Taylor & Francis, "Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view" (Dec. 18, 2013), they discuss how fictional-based religions like the Star Wars-based Jediism and the Tolkien-inspired Eleven community via The Lord of the Rings are practiced by people in real life and not just characters in fictional worlds.  This article expands on how we should react to and handle these fiction-based religions. 

 

This article is credible because Science Daily is an American news website with articles on a wide variety of science topics which are selected from news releases submitted by universities and other research institutions.  Moreover this article is accurate because the date of copyright is recent, December 18, 2013.  Also, this article is referencing the journal Culture and Religion: An Interdisciplinary Journal with the article, "Fiction-based religion: Conceptualizing a new category against history-based religion and fandom" which was written by Markus Altena Davidsen with a recent date of copyright, 2013.  The author is from the Leiden Institute for Religious Studies at Leiden University in The Netherlands.  The motivation or purpose for writing this article was to show readers that fiction-based religions can expand beyond the fictional stories they were written for. 

I will be able to use this article to explain to readers how Jediism is a fiction-based religion and how it is practiced in reality.  Moreover, I will also be able to explain what people are doing about it.  I find this article interesting because I had never thought about Jediism as a religious movement and that people could be practicing it as such outside of the characters in the movies. 

Lancashire, Anne. "Return of the Jedi: Once More With Feeling." Film Criticism 8.2 (1984): 55-66. Academic Search Complete. 1. Jan. 1984. Web. 11 May 2014.

 

In the article by Anne Lancashire, "Return of the Jedi: Once More With Feeling" (Jan. 1, 1984), the author talks about how Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is effective in concluding the Star Wars saga following the previous two movies, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.  The author also talks about how the themes are maintained throughout and gives details on the plots and the emphasis on emotional control and understanding of love. 

 

This article is credible because Film Criticism is the third oldest academic film journal in the country.  Furthermore this article is accurate because the date of copyright, January 1, 1984, was a couple of months after Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi was released in theaters.  The motivation or purpose for writing this article was to explain to readers why Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi was so successful at tying up the Star Wars saga and was a satisfying conclusion.  The author also elaborates on the themes, plots, and emphasis on emotional control and understanding of love and wanted to show readers how this contributes to the strength of this conclusion. 

 

I will be able to use this article to persuade readers that Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is excellent at achieving its goal of wrapping up the whole Star Wars saga, not just for the original trilogy (episodes 4-6), but also if you include the prequel trilogy (episodes 1-3).  As someone who has watched the whole Star Wars saga in order I think that you get the complete story of the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker as a tragic hero who gets his redemption at the end.
