Abstract
This paper discusses designing a course for undergraduate English interpretation and translation students focused on teaching them the elements of story structure using the original Star Wars film trilogy by George Lucas. Story structure will be taught using the theory of the monomyth developed by Joseph Campbell and archetypes as the term is used by Campbell and Carl Jung. Additional aspects of story will be taught using materials developed by Christopher Vogler, based on the work of Campbell, and with specific consideration of Star Wars as an example of story structure. Philosophical issues raised in the Star Wars story will also be considered with reference to Star Wars-based articles written by philosophers. Following discussion of story structure, class design will be discussed and examples of assignments and class content will be provided including film and reading discussion questions. Student feedback drawn from an exam and a survey will be included and considered.
