[THE SPOILERS ARE STRONG IN THIS ONE, PROCEED WITH CAUTION] There are two new releases from 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' that may have finally revealed the identity of the two mysterious main characters! The official TV spot for 'Star Wars Episode VII' may be filled with numerous new footage from the film, but it is the line from Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong'o) that offers a greater clue to the identity of Rey (Daisy Ridley). Maz Kanata addresses Rey, saying, "I have lived long enough to see the same eyes in different people." Just as the pirate stresses on the word "eyes," a shot of Han Solo with a snow-covered background is shown, as if to suggest that Rey and the captain of the Millennium Falcon have a connection. But what is this connection?

    ` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story.

Whether it’s the “big bad” wolf or the cookie “monster”, cliché conventions have become our method of familiarity; a method by which we distinguish hero from villain. Names and monstrous appearances have only enhanced these conventions, thereby making it harder to understand the more complex villains. Thus, two stories will be used to understand the varying range of villains that circulate popular culture in today’s world in an attempt to solidify the basis upon which a character may be deemed a villain or not. The visual representations of villains in Star Wars: A New Hope and Watchmen, prove that villainous nature can range from

All of them are not anyone you would expect to be involved in anything important. The call to adventure in all the stories are relatively similar.
