(I'm not going to digress into how the previous Star Wars films relate to The Hero's Journey - the short answer is that they sometimes use elements, but not always successfully, and never as wholly as the first Star Wars film itself.) That's one why many people, after watching the original Star Wars, were left with the feeling that they'd seen a modern legendary myth, set in space - the story was specifically written to convey that impression. George Lucas was one of Campbell's students, and applied this idea for an epic structure to the first Star Wars film (often retrospectively referred to as A New Hope - technically it's proper title). Joseph Campbell came up with idea of distilling epic myths from around the world into a basic, common narrative framework. I've mentioned before that one of the things I really noticed about The Force Awakens wasn't simply that it was derivative in many (often positive) ways of the original trilogy - but also that, like the very first Star Wars film, the story was structured on The Hero's Journey.
