Abstract

Discussing the endless war between the good and the evil, the Star Wars series has expressed various discourses about evil from 1977 to 2019. These films, which have ingrained themselves in the history of cinema as ‘narratives of evil', have been watched intently by an audience of different nationalities and age groups for a timespan of over 40 years. This currently ongoing interest has allowed the series to continue its narrative with new films. The dialectic relationship that cinema, which has a potential to produce ideas through images, establishes with its watchers as an opportunity that allows for the exploration of the human attitude and behavior towards evil, it necessitates the reconsideration of evil through Star Wars films.
