  • Rebellion, Republic, and Resistance: Exploring the Politics of Disney's Star Wars Films
    Rebellion, Republic, and Resistance: Exploring the Politics of Disney’s Star Wars Films By Alex Baughman Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Departmental Honors In the Department of Political Science Hood College April 2019 1 Abstract Star Wars is arguably one of the most significant cultural franchises in the United States of the past 40 years. George Lucas’ original trilogy has spawned an abundance of media, the most prominent of which is the film saga. A wealth of research and literature has been conducted and written on the original and prequel trilogies, but a relative paucity of scholarly discourse exists since Disney acquired the property in 2012. This study seeks to fill a portion of that gap in literature. I begin by reviewing the literature on film’s capacity to influence viewers’ political attitudes, and why fictional films are able to do so via the theoretical Extended Elaboration Likelihood Model. Next, I discuss the various political commentary and scholarship on the original and prequel trilogies, and build a case inquiry into the sequel trilogy as a Disney property. Through focus groups, I explore the political messages received from the Disney Star Wars films as represented by Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) and contrast them with those of the early Star Wars films as represented by Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope (1977). I find evidence that viewers of the original trilogy are exposed to libertarian ideological messages and viewers of the sequel trilogy are exposed to progressive ideological messages. While the qualitative results offer no generalizable conclusions, the implications and themes of this study certainly warrant further research.

  • Mission Objectives for Geological Exploration of the Apollo 16 Landing
    Papike, J.J. and Merrill, R.B., eds. Proc. Conf. Lunar Highlands Crust (1980), p. 1-49 Printed in the United States of America 1980luhc.conf....1M Mission objectives for geological exploration of the Apollo 16 landing site1 W. R. Muehlberger The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712 Friedrich Horz Geology Branch, NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas 77058 J. R. Sevier Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas 77058 G. E. Ulrich U.S. Geological Survey, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 Summary-This document is a committee report which outlines scientific objectives and specific rationales developed for the exploration of the Apollo 16 site, our most important mission to the lunar highlands. Although premission hypotheses erroneously favored a volcanic origin for the Cayley plains as well as Descartes Mountains, the major mission objectives were successfully accomplished: to delineate the nature and origin of two major physiographic units of the lunar central highlands. The units are composed of fragmental impact deposits; present debate focuses on specific source areas of the samples and depositional mechanism(s). The premission exploration strategy was to use impact craters of various diameters and associated depths of penetration as stratigraphic probes. Specific sampling procedures, operational constraints, and suites of samples that were collected for specific local objectives, are described for lunar scientists who are unfamiliar with mission planning in general and more specifically with Apollo 16. A large number of samples taken to reconstruct local stratigraphic-structural relationships are either insuffi- ciently studied or have not been studied at all. While such stratigraphic-structural relationships are extremely complex, or even chaotic, at Apollo 16, additional insight into local geologic processes could be obtained by future investigation of these special sample suites.
