Well, that was fun. I found and fell down the rabbit hole of "movie narrative charts". So I thought I would try my hand it.

Hint: Darth Vader's story arc starts at the dark square in the top-left.

#StarWars #LukeSkywalker #NarrativeMovieChart

A pictogram of the story arcs of the main characters of the first Star Wars movie / "Episode IV" / "A New Hope". Each line represents a character and has a distinctive color. Each orb represents an act in the story. Orb 1 / Act 1 is Tattoine where we meet our protagonist Luke. Orb 2 / Act 2 is the Death Star where Luke rescues the princess. Orb 3 / Act 3 is Dantooine, the rebel stronghold where Luke destroys the Death Star with a well aimed torpedo. * Luke brought his friends along for tactical and emotional support.
