The Last Jedi and the 7 Basic Questions of Narrative Drama

Up: Fiction writing

Original: The Last Jedi and the 7 Basic Questions of Narrative Drama (Sage Hyden)

The seven questions:

  • What does this character want?

  • What does this character need?

  • How do those wants and needs conflict with each other within the character?

  • How do they conflict with the outside world?

  • How do they conflict with other characters?

  • How does the character change through those conflicts and how does the resolution affect them?

  • What impact does that change have on everyone else?
