Is Luke Skywalker one of your favorite heroes? In this class, we will learn all about the character Luke Skywalker's life journey and how the force influenced his path in the Star Wars saga. We will also learn about the character traits that make Luke a hero. What would have happened if he would have chosen the dark side instead of the light side? We will also explore the possible outcomes of the saga had Luke never been born. After learners have gone through Luke's full background and history in my lecture, they will engage in an interactive discussion about their thoughts and opinions about the character. They will also use their critical thinking skills to answer discussion questions on "what if" scenarios. Examples of these are, "What if Luke would have chosen the dark side over the light side?" and "What if Luke had never been born?" There will be slides, pictures, and video clips for the students to read and view during the class. The only required experience or knowledge learners should have before attending the class is to be familiar with Luke Skywalker. It would definitely not hurt them to watch or re-watch the Star Wars movies, beginning with A New Hope.
