Star Wars and the Force

Star Wars is a movie franchise about a world far away where there is a constant battle between good and evil. The audience follows a particular family of the name Skywalker. There are physical and emotional battles within the main characters which causes them to make crucial decisions that decide there own fate and the peoples around them. This family are linked to both the light side and the dark side of the force otherwise known as the Jedi and the Sith. Both of these organisations use the force in different ways. The force is the energy field created by all living things and binds the whole universe together. The basic force is like telekinesis where you can move things around with your mind and access others minds and thoughts.

Here a Sith lord is using the force to choke and lift the hero. This is like moving objects with their minds. Looking at this frame I can see a line around the hero and a change in the quality. This shows that the hero has been cut from a separate clip and pasted onto this one.
The two heroes are using their force on themselves to help them when they jumped across  to the other platform. Without this help they never would have made it across. Looking at the image closer I can see that the two heroes have a very harsh edge as they start to jump and as they are flying through the air the edge of their bodies is extremely soft and show a lot of movement however the lightsabers are very solid and have a similar density to what they usually do. This shows how the characters have been placed on the image and the lightsabers have been reconstructed afterwards.
This is the animation  of Yoda that was made and used in Star Wars I, II, III. This image shows the body positioning of someone who uses the force in great extent at a very powerful level. It shows concentration and a strong posture of the body. These are certain characteristics that we could use in our stop motion film.
