STAR WARS
A Battle of Will & Hope
Written by MzDea and her co-Writer Jakster
Starting with the massive underside of the Imperial Star Destroyer passing overhead, nothing will thrill you more, or at least not this epic. The first time you see Darth Vader you may just shake in your boots, definitely not one you wish to cross. And when you see Princess Leia leaning over to pass on the Death Star plans to R2-D2, saying, “Help me Obi-wan, you’re our only hope,” it makes you want to see it through till the end. Watching Luke line up the shot for the exhaust port as Vader is just about to get a lock on him who should swoop in but Han Solo to the rescue. “Yaaahooo, your all clear kid! Now let’s blow this thing and go home!” We all hold our breath as he lines up his shot, encouraged by Obi-wan voice,” Use the force Luke.” then KABOOOOM, no more Death Star. I vividly remember the medal ceremony at the end. They all looked dashing and beautiful in the Heroic award ceremony.
Watching the probe droid slow ascend gave you chill that were not due to the icy planet below. The fear portrayed in the eyes of the rebel soldiers as they saw the AT-AT coming at them in full force, giving the rebel leaders only one option: RETREAT! Everyone jaws hit the floor when Vader told Luke, “I AM your Father!” Not very convincingly tried to get Luke to join him, guess it helps not to chop off your kids hand for him to see your side. Sensing Luke’s pain and his dire straits (hanging from the antenna below the city), she tells Lando and Chewie to turn around and retrieve him. Just when you thought the awkward moments were done, Leia kisses Luke in defiance of a comment Han makes.
Enter R2-D2 and C-3PO back where it all started, Tatooine. They are at the entrance to Jabba palace. They gain entrance and R2-D2 play the prerecord message where Luke, now a Jedi Knight offers Jabba these to droid in exchange for Han Solo. Jabba laughs and the droids are taken away and put to work on his barge. Leia come in disguised as a bounty hunter with Chewie in tow, it works until she tries to free solo from the carbonite, plan backfired. Now all 4 are captive, Luke shows up and warns Jabba to no underestimate him and to release his friends. At the last movement Luke's full plan is revealed an all are rescued at last. The Rebel leaders make one final strike to free the galaxy from the Empire and succeeds at last, at a great cost.
Obe-wan and his Teacher arrive to settle a trade difference, things go south. They end up on the planet below, Naboo. They find the Queen and proceed to take her to the capital. The end up making a pit stop on Tatooine. There they meet the chosen one, in the form of a child. While there they win the child's freedom in a pod race. All of them head to the capital where they meet Senator Palatine. After discussing plans they head to Naboo, the Queen asks Jar Jar for help, leading them to the Gungen army. The Gungens agree to help free their world. Meanwhile in the palace Obi-wan and his Teacher Qui-gon meet up with Darth Maul, during the fight Qui-gon is slain. Obi-wan slays Darth Maul, or so it seems.
Qui-gon is lain to rest, Naboo is freed, and Obi_wan insists on training Anikin after promising his Mentor.
