Your assignment is to watch one Star Wars movie and write a short reaction to the music. While I think this assignment is easier if you watch one of the original three movies (Episode IV: A New Hope, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, or Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi), you may complete this assignment with any of the currently available Star Wars videos (including Episode I: A Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Episode III: Return of the Sith, or Episode VII: The Force Awakens).
After you have watched the opera, please write a short reflection upon your experience. Reflections should be well written, approximately 400-700 words long. Please answer the following questions.
