Star Wars | Journeying Hearts {seven emotions challenge; thc}

[HD + earphones]

Made for the March round of the Hogwarts Contest -- Seven Emotions. I honestly thought I wasn't going to make it because I wasn't ispired at all for this round, but then suddenly this idea hit me very late in the month, and I found myself running against time to meet the deadline ^^'' not my best idea probably, but I'm fairly happy with the result. And the fact that my new computer is a total lifesaver and renders unbelievably fast (for my standards, at least) helped, too :D
(Also, sorry to all my non-SW subcribers, it seems I am on a spree with my first fandom again ^^ but I have different projects in motion, too!)

For this round we had to make a video showcasing seven different emotions. I didn't want to make another multifandom, and then while thinking about the number seven it hit me that there are seven Star Wars movies now...so I thought about going about it slightly differently and assign one emotion to each movie and try telling the story as a whole through them ^-^ it wasn't easy to find a single emotion that would suit each film (especially since SW is a true rollercoaster of feels to me), and you may disagree with some of my choices, but I'll leave you my reasons for them here - and if you enjoy the video at all, let me know your thoughts ♥

TPM → Loneliness: because it's an emotion all the main three go through in the film. Padmé is alone fighting for her people's survival in a Senate that won't help her; Anakin feels lonely without his mother; and Obi-Wan is left alone by Qui-Gon's death (I also imagine, as Qui-Gon was quite an indipendent spirit and often clashed with the rest of the Council, that Obi as his student wasn't very often around other Padawans his age);
AOTC → Attachment: because it's Anakin's main problem throughout the films, and at the very heart of this particular one. Attachment is a love that is too strong, and walks hand in hand with the inability to let go of those we love; and in Anakin's reaction to his mother's death one can already foresee what it is that will doom him in the end.
ROTS → Despair: guess not many explanations are needed for this one. The light side hits rock bottom in this film...
ANH → Hope: another obvious choice starting from the title of the film. I think ANH is the most hopeful out of all films; also, hope is the direct opposite of despair, and while episode III is the end of a descending arc, episode IV is the start of an ascending one.
TESB → Shock: because the first scene that always comes to mind with episode V is the infamous Vader/Luke shocking revelation, but Han, Leia and Chewie go through it too when they are betrayed on Bespin and Han is frozen into carbonite.
ROTJ → Compassion: because it's the turning point of the film. Luke refuses the dark side because he feels his father's suffering and he realizes the same fate will be his own if he does not; and Vader's soul is saved because he is pierced by Luke's pain and wants to put an end to it. Through compassion (or "unconditional love", in Anakin's words) they save each other -- and this is why ROTJ will probably always make me cry like a baby ç_ç
TFA → Wonderment: the wonder in Rey's eyes is one of the things that stayed with me after seeing the film, and I think one of the goals of this new SW was definitely to bring back that sense of wonder of the previous films and involve a new generation with it, so that's why I chose this emotion (even though I was sorry not to include more characters from the movie).
