Problem 1: Choose a specific scene from Return of the Jedi and consider editing, mise-en-scene (design and movement/framing), and sound in this scene. How does one or more of these elements combine to support/structure the narrative in this scene, help shape the characters, and/or contribute to the explicit and implicit meaning/relevance of the scene?
Problem 2: How do specific effects in the original trilogy add to and/or detract from the immersive potential of the films within the world-building of the Star Wars universe? Choose a specific scene and identify the special effects used, analyzing whether or not the effects in your chosen scene augment or subtract from the verisimilitude of the scene.
Problem 3: Is Jar-Jar Binks an inherently racist character or just an example of bad CGI? Use at least one specific scene from The Phantom Menace and discuss his characterization in that scene alongside a consideration of concepts like "the One versus the Other" and aliens as stand-ins for racial others discussed in the lectures to support your response.
