在約瑟夫·坎伯和比爾·莫耶斯(英語:Bill Moyers)的紀錄片《神話的力量(英語:The Power of Myth)》中,導演喬治·盧卡斯和坎伯廣泛探討了英雄旅程對《星球大戰》系列電影的影響。盧卡斯表示,在他完成早期電影《美國風情畫》之後的1970年代早期:「我確實發現沒有現代化的神話故事......所以當我開始對童話故事、民間傳說和神話進行更加艱苦的研究時,我開始閱讀坎伯的書。在此之前我沒有讀過任何坎伯的書......這是非常怪異的,因為在讀《千面英雄》時我開始意識到,我的《星球大戰》初稿也是遵循着經典主題」。《神話的力量》製作十二年後,莫耶斯和盧卡斯再次見面,參加了1999年「星球大戰與神話」的採訪,進一步討論坎伯作品對盧卡斯電影的影響[28] 。此外,史密森尼學會在美國國家航空航天博物館贊助了一個名為「星球大戰:神話的魔法」展覽,該展覽討論了坎伯作品如何影響《星球大戰》電影[29]。
