在约瑟夫·坎伯和比尔·莫耶斯(英语:Bill Moyers)的纪录片《神话的力量(英语:The Power of Myth)》中,导演乔治·卢卡斯和坎伯广泛探讨了英雄旅程对《星球大战》系列电影的影响。卢卡斯表示,在他完成早期电影《美国风情画》之后的1970年代早期:“我确实发现没有现代化的神话故事......所以当我开始对童话故事、民间传说和神话进行更加艰苦的研究时,我开始阅读坎伯的书。在此之前我没有读过任何坎伯的书......这是非常怪异的,因为在读《千面英雄》时我开始意识到,我的《星球大战》初稿也是遵循着经典主题”。《神话的力量》制作十二年后,莫耶斯和卢卡斯再次见面,参加了1999年“星球大战与神话”的采访,进一步讨论坎伯作品对卢卡斯电影的影响[28] 。此外,史密森尼学会在美国国家航空航天博物馆赞助了一个名为“星球大战:神话的魔法”展览,该展览讨论了坎伯作品如何影响《星球大战》电影[29]。
