The panel seemed to be more about defending the prequels rather than discussing why we, the fans, love them. So, being someone who loves all the Star Wars movies, and will never choose a favorite, this blog was created to discuss all the movies in a positive, passionate and intellectual light.

<h2>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A Day that will live in scum and villainy...</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's right...I'm talking about that day in November 2010 when Katie Goldman was teased at school because she had a Star Wars water bottle. Not to worry, like the Rebel Squadron on a Death Star (take your pick DS I or DS II), the international Star Wars community rushed to Katie's aid. We, Star Wars fans, showed the world that not only is it cool to be a Star Wars fan girl, but that we've got each other's backs.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So on this 3rd annual Wear Star Wars Day, created to celebrate geek pride and anti-bullying, I will continue to wear Star Wars. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have not done so, please <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/440639132668639/" target="_blank">Join Wear Star Wars Share Star Wars on Facebook</a>; and also watch <a href="http://www.jedicamp.com/episodes" target="_blank">Jedi Camp</a> (A 6 episode web series fan film, dealing with the bullying epidemic). While these two sites are not affiliated with each other they are both trying to do the same thing - end bullying and help kids build self-confidence. Abolishing harassment and building self-confidence is something both kids and adults need.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bullying was something I had to deal with all the time as a little girl. I was teased for so many years, for so many things that by the time I was in junior high nothing was going to stop me from wearing my Luke Skywalker circa Return of the Jedi black suit to school. Remember, this was 1983 before Cosplay was cool. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After begging my mother to buy the McCALLS, RETURN OF THE JEDI </span>™<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span>©<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Lucasfilm Ltd. 1983, Sewing Pattern #8654 and sew it for me minus the iron-on transfer (I was going for authenticity.), I </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> wore it to school with pride. I did have the inevitable schoolmate taunt and tease me. Like my forebears - Yoda, Obi-Wan and Luke Skywalker - I did not take the quick and easy path and FORCE choke them like I wanted to but ignored their jeers and scoffs. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Regardless of what anyone said...I was a Jedi.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That was the first day that I can remember beginning to feel comfortable in my own skin.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The ideals and themes within the Star Wars universe helped me find the courage to be me. Maybe the best defense against bullying is a strong sense of self.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Will wearing Star Wars put an end to bullying? We won't know until we </span><u style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Do</u><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">! Remember, there is no Try. </span></div>

<a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Forcebookfangirls" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.btrcdn.com/pics/hostpics/d7694b6b-36dd-4a36-ac90-94152972aeda_fb_fangirls_episode_pic_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">N</span>o...I am not "Missing In Action" I'm still here! Since my last post I have reached a tenuous detente with the "Emperor", visited the biggest and best party this side of the galaxy - Star Wars Celebration VI - and resumed co-hosting <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/forcebookfangirls" target="_blank">theFORCEbook Fangirls</a> podcast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Celebration VI was, as always, an awesome and exhausting four days. Why oh why can't it go on forever? That would be the only length of time that would satisfy me. Maybe they will expand the Star Wars section of Disney's Hollywood Studios of Walt Disney World to include more than Star Tours and Star Wars Weekends. Better yet, how about an entire new park within Walt Disney World called Star Wars Galaxies. Then you could have an entire theme park with Star Wars centered rides. Enough daydreaming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past Celebration, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was able to experience the convention from a different perspective. </span><a href="http://www.cartamundiusa.com/card-products/licensed" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Cartamundi_USA</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> allowed me to hang out with them and play exhibitor for a couple days. I was able to distribute the incredible, lenticular, 3-D cards they created specifically for Celebration VI as giveaways. If you saw the framed Royal Flush set they had at their booth and still want one contact </span><a href="http://www.cartamundiusa.com/contacts#contact_john" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Victor Shaffer</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to get one of the limited number remaining</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. I was able to meet so many other Star Wars fans because of them. It was great fun!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also attended at least two panels with Dave Filoni, as I am now officially obsessed with the juggernaut that is The Clone Wars. I took special care to also visit <a href="http://bonniepiesse.com/" target="_blank">Bonnie Piesse</a>, young Aunt Beru, and <a href="http://www.joecorroney.com/cgi-local/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Star_Wars" target="_blank">Joe Corroney</a>, licensed Lucasfilm artist - both of whom are fellow members of theFORCEbook.com. I also visited Linzy Busch, one of my new fangirl heroines, creator of <a href="http://poweroftheforcegirls.com/" target="_blank">Power of the Force Girls</a>. If you ever feel like you need to amp up your girl power, the Power of the Force Girls are just what you need. I am especially happy about making the acquaintance of fellow fangirl and Star Wars clothing designer Christine B. of Ohmethreads. All of whom may be guests on upcoming episodes of the podcast.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course, theFORCEbook Fangirls allows me to do one of the things I love to do - talk, talk, talk - about Star Wars! My husband says that he's almost certain that Babbles is a animated incarnation of me. The podcast also allows me to survive the inevitable depression that follows in any Star Wars fanperson when they depart from Celebration. It is definitely one way I keep the FORCE strong with me until the next Celebration. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Organizing the items I purchased at C6 into my collection will also take some time and help tide me over until the next convention. I don't know what it is about swag, but of course, a lot of my favorite items are the free things I was able to gather. Once everything has been placed I will post new pics of my office so that I can show it off in true fangirl style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even with the podcast I have found that I still need my diary to wax analytical on Star Wars topics. Where else can I hash out my thoughts about The Clone Wars - Mortis trilogy? (Coming Soon) It's just great to have another fan to bounce ideas off and increase my own point of view about the Saga.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few months ago I read an online article about bromance in movies. You know, movies that depict a platonic, intimate relationship between two or more men. The most famous bromance for my generation is probably Brian’s Song, the story of that famous bromance between Brian Piccolo and Gale Sayers. Our Star Wars own, Billy Dee Williams (aka Lando Calrissian) stars as Gale Sayers. This <a href="http://movies.msn.com/galleryfeature/bromance/" target="_blank">article </a>included many movies in addition to Brian's Song that are famous for their bromance:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Defiant Ones, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Great Escape, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Wild Bunch, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hell in the Pacific</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">...to name a few.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have seen most of the films listed and a few are on my list of all-time favorites - The Great Escape, for example, which I’ve watched with my father and husband many times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, there are some very notable exclusions: Ben Hur, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but most especially the Star Wars Saga. How can you write an article about bromance in cinema and not include Star Wars?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Never has one saga exemplified the idea of bromance more. The very idea of the Master/Padawan relationship of mentoring and caring was made for bromance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker, and even Yoda and Luke Skywalker. But the Jedi are by no means the only examples of bromance in Star Wars.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most famous probably being between Han Solo and Chewbacca, wonderfully depicted in one of my favorite comic strips Calvin and Hobbes. Some of the funniest moments in the films are between Han and Chewie. When Han, like a nagging wife, goads Chewie to get in the garbage compactor, "I don't care what you smell!" As well as some of the most tender moments in the films, most notably for me when Chewie leans back his head and wails as Han is being frozen in carbonite. (I've mentioned that I rarely cry at movies...but this scene leaves me blubbering.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">No less bromantic is the relationship between R2-D2 and C-3PO. (Although, I still love to tease my husband that R2 has to be female, because "she" is just so darn cool.) If their constant bickering and concern for each other isn't brotherly love, then I don't know what is. Who else in the universe but R2 would put up with 3PO's constant flagellation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">These two relationships are by no means the only bromances in Star Wars. I could go on and on... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There is Luke and R2. I love the way Luke and R2 are with each other. They are so cute. R2 offers to drive so Luke can get some rest and Luke warns R2 to be more careful. If they were a romantic couple, they would be the kind that still holds hands years into their relationship.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The three-way between Luke, Han and Chewie. I love that scene in Empire when Luke goes to say goodbye to Han and Chewie. Chewie, who is completely unashamed of his bromantic love, just grabs Luke and gives him a big Wookie hug. (I'm so jealous!) And of course, the locked gaze between Luke and Han as they share their silent goodbye. I love these guys. *sniff*</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now the coolest bromance in the film is, by far, between Han and Lando. These two guys bicker over the Millennium Falcon like an old girlfriend. And when Lando matter-of-factly asks, "How you doin', Chewbacca?" You know these three have spent some nights in a cantina or two that you can't even talk about in mixed company. Even when Chewie has those big, hairy hands closed around Lando's neck...you can almost guess this isn't the first time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The most dysfunctional bromance in the entire film and one that definitely needs to call Dr. Ruth, or whomever bromancers call when they are having relationship issues, is between the Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader. What an incredible seduction by the emperor. He just lies and lies to Anakin telling him whatever he needs to, to get him under his thumb. And what does Lord Vader do, he just kneels down and takes it. Talk about co-dependent. Even when I was a kid, I just knew this was a relationship that had to have lots of domestic violence.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are these the only examples of bromance in Star Wars? By no means, but I think I've made my point. You shouldn't make a bromance movie list and NOT have Star Wars in it.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><div align="CENTER">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">It has become it's own "thing" to collect in my Star Wars collection.</span></div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The oedipal drama within Star Wars is by no means subtle, but it is the insightful and exquisite paternal themes between Yoda and Luke that make me think most of my own relationship with my father. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My father was a brilliant and gifted man of the cloth. And even from the early age of five, I have memories of us discussing our beliefs and religious dogma. Which is probably why Yoda reminds me most of my father. That and the fact that they both had a goofy, ever present, since of humor. I love watching Yoda be sarcastic or silly...just like my dad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The scenes on Dagobah with Yoda and Luke are ever present reminders of how my father helped me become the Jedi I am today. He taught me so many things. And like Yoda moving the x-wing fighter out of the swamp on to dry land, my father taught faith - not by telling, but by doing.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<div align="CENTER">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">To this day that scene still makes me tingle inside...on days like today..it even makes me cry. I feel as if I am at my father's feet watching one of his most moving sermons. He was a great man with a powerful faith, who was not boastful but humble - like Yoda.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One of my happiest memories of watching the Star Wars trilogy was when my father came for an extended stay to visit. We had the most awesome home theater at the time with a 75" screen and Dolby surround sound. My father was center seat in his favorite easy chair, which he usurped from my husband each time he visited, and we watched the entire original trilogy. (The prequels had not come out yet.) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My father loved movies, but didn't go to the theater after we were heavy enough to keep the seat down on our own (Money was tight when I was a kid.) I watched these movies I love with the man who taught me to love movies - He LOVED them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Star Wars is a science fiction, action-packed, thrill-ride of a movie; but it also appeals to the more cerebral cinema fan. Which is why I think I loved them so much. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My father did not miss the mythological and religious themes in the films and we spent most of the day discussing those parallels with our own faith. We discussed the themes that were universal to many faiths and how that might explain why people from all over the world connect to this film in such an innate way. It is one of my favorite Father's Day memories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Father's Day, Daddy. I will love you, always.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With all the recent events in my life I have been obsessed with death and funerals. Let's admit it. Most funerals are sad, morbid, but mostly lame. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away they knew how to throw a good funeral. After re-watching a few films in the Star Wars Saga recently (Like potato chips, I can never watch just one.) and attending my brothers wake and funeral. I spent a lot of time thinking about my own death. Not in a morbid, sad, depressing way; but in a cool, awesome Star Wars way. One of my favorite visual scenes in the Star Wars Saga after the Luke/Vader saber dueling is another Luke/Vader scene.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first preference would be to become one with the Force as I lay comfortably in my bed after being tucked in by Luke Skywalker, Yoda-Style. Since that probably won't happen, I will have to settle for my second choice. Rather than be buried or cremated, I want a full-out, traditional Jedi funeral pyre. There I will lay wearing my skimpy Twi'lek costume and Jedi robes (with cleavage - I'll be dead. What could my husband say then, lol.) and my daughter - my most willing padawan - will douse me with Tequila, sprinkle me with dark colored rose petals and then light me on fire.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I thought I would be half as good looking a corpse as Padme Amidala then I might have opted for the flower-covered float-y barge. What a gorgeous corpse Natalie Portman made.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Star Wars, like most mythology, is filled with themes to help us understand and get through the major events in our lives: births, deaths, unions, trials and tribulations. The sadness that comes with the passing of someone dear is something that everyone will experience. Luke & Leia lost their biological parents without having a single memory of them to cherish, or regret, as the case may be with Vader. Leia lost both of her parents on Alderaan, while Luke lost Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and his father Anakin Skywalker twice. - not to mention Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. The difference with the later losses being that Leia and Luke had the examples, teachings and memories of those loved ones to sustain them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm certain that Luke will never forget Obi-Wan's loyalty, Yoda's wisdom nor Anakin's redemption. All three valuable lessons we should all learn. Maybe that is the Star Wars lesson here.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maybe we can't choose how we die:</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Leave a good-looking corpse</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Go out in a blaze of glory</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pass silently in our bed</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But we can choose how we live our lives and the lessons and memories we leave to those left behind. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My brother taught me many things. Strangely enough the one thing that he taught me that I use the most is - "right-y tight-y, left-y loose-y". Every time I would change a tire, open a jar or loosen a screw, I would think of him and laugh. It's a simple thing but something very helpful and always made me smile and think of him.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/star-wars-all-poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320px" qaa="true" src="http://www.starstore.com/acatalog/star-wars-all-poster.jpg" width="213px" /></span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used to look at this poster and laugh. Wasn’t it amusing how there is a Star Wars moment to help with all of life’s situations…only today I don’t feel like laughing…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just received a phone call earlier today that my big brother is dead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span closure_uid_xbod5o="263" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was only older by thirteen months and for the beginning of our lives we were partners in crime. I remember us sitting in the front seat of the family Dodge as we sat waiting for our parents. The car was parked at the end of the driveway, which was a 30 degree incline. My brother would put the car into neutral; we would jump together into the backseat; and “Whee!” our way backwards into the street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seemed like a good idea at the time; and was a cheap form of entertainment for two thrill seekers like us. Knowing my parents the way I do, I’m sure the punishment was swift and decisive. Most importantly, it is long since forgotten.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My brother and I were always getting into trouble together. When I was a kid my big brother was my hero. He taught me to run, throw and punch like a boy. These were crucial skills to me as the neighborhood tomboy. When he was old enough to go to school, and I wasn’t, I convinced him to hide me in his backpack so that he could sneak me into kindergarten.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Needless to say, my parents stopped him when he couldn’t lift his backpack on his shoulder. They opened it up and there I was.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was finally old enough to go to school, it was my big brother who held my hand and walked me to my first class. My kindergarten teacher had to coax him into leaving me there and told him that I would be fine, but that he could come back after school to take me to our bus if that made him feel better. During those pre-teen years my brother was my best friend.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we grew older and each had our own lives; we became more and more distant. He had his life and I had mine. So when I received the call about his passing, I initially felt as if I didn’t even have a right to mourn him. I mean, I hardly knew who he was anymore. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then, I remembered my Star Wars…Luke and Leia. Luke and Leia literally grew up on different worlds. After brief moments together, the two twins grew into adults without ever knowing that the other existed. Yet, when first they met, there was an instant connection between them. I long since outgrew the initial nausea that accompanies that ill-fated kiss between Luke and Leia in Empire, but if you truly look at their relationship it makes complete sense. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is some girl Luke has never met, yet he is instantly drawn to her. For Leia, the ease and trust she felt for Luke was also instantaneous. I could see how to such similar and romantic figures might think that they were in love. For Luke, I think it was the only explanation that made sense to him. Why would I feel such a connection to a complete stranger unless I’m in love with them? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In time, it became obvious to Luke that he did in fact love Leia, but only as a sister. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lesson here is that time, distance, nor absence can break the binds that tie us together. Luke learned this lesson so well that he was able to redeem his absent father.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Though my big brother and I had grown apart due to distance and circumstance, I know that the time we shared together in our youth fighting our own ‘rebellion’ can never be erased and that he, like the Force, will be with me, always!</span></div>

fiancée, MJ, was standing there conferring with my husband about
what it was like to be engaged to a UPF of Star Wars. MJ shared tales of vanishing space
in their home that had succumbed to Spidey's Star Wars collection
as my husband nodded his head in agreement. He listened to her as the spouse of
an life-long alcoholic listens to a newlywed who has just found out their
spouse drinks. His gentle sighs comforting her as they simultaneously told her
that his own tribulations in that department were much worse since I was an
'old school' fan since the release of the original trilogy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

Ever since then I have loved the water, swimming and Jacque Cousteau. So when I met my husband-to-be and found out that not only did he know the film origin of "All too easy" but also had his C-Card I was a goner. The man had grown up summering on a lake in Canada, was completely comfortable in the water and could hold his breath so long I thought he was part dolphin. I wasn't certified at the time but had always wanted to learn to scuba dive - I had found my dive buddy for life. I eventually got my NAUI certification and the dive was on! I must admit that it was nearly impossible to breathe canned air in the beautiful silence of Floridian fresh water springs without thinking of Darth Vader. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Basically, I was in a car accident and banged up pretty good but still took my medication, got some sleep and then FORCEBooked until the pain became too great.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I sense a disturbance in the Force. A lot of fans seem to be trepidacious because of several closings in the star wars universe: Star Wars Hyperspace ending this year 2011, <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/117/1178986p1.html">Star Wars Galaxies</a> ending this year 201l, Star Wars Forums ended this year and the Star Wars Shop closing July 18, 2011. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"From 2004 to 2011, Hyperspace: The Official Star Wars Fan Club was the Lucasfilm-run organization for Star Wars fans worldwide created to unify and spotlight fan activity, give exclusive inside access to Star Wars productions, provide a way to buy really cool exclusive stuff, and most of all... to celebrate Star Wars."</span></blockquote>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It seems the intention of all of these star wars components are the same - the celebration of Star Wars. The Force can be seen from both light and dark perspectives and I think we fans need to view this from the light side (Hey, I'm a Jedi at heart.) I know that when it comes to Star Wars I seem to be a cup half-full type and never have a bad thing to say about it. Go ahead think it - I embrace that. Star Wars is the bright center to the universe for me and always will be. We are not losing anything. Star Wars is alive and well on the internet:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know I have left off many sites. More than I can ever list here, but these are just a few that I frequent. And that is the point really isn't it? Lucasfilm is concentrating on giving us what we can't give ourselves: Star Wars: The Clone Wars television show, Star Wars on Blu-Ray this September 12th internationally and 16th in North America, Star Wars Saga in 3-D in theaters starting February 2012, Star Wars: The Old Republic (someday), Star Wars Celebration VI and so much more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What we need to take from this comes from one of my favorite scenes in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi when Master Yoda tells Luke, "Pass on what you have learned." Yoda is speaking to all of us. George Lucas has known from the beginning that it is not only the franchise but mainly the fans that will keep the Force alive. So these closings are not a downturn in the Star Wars universe but Lucasfilm reorganizing their efforts because they know that the fans have got it covered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our role in the Star Wars universe is to pass on our Star Wars experience: Jedi, Sith, smugglers, bounty hunters all creatures great and small. As long as we do this, we do not have to fear Yoda's passing or that of a few websites.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Just like Luke and Leia, the next generation of Skywalker, were the new hope in the Star Wars Saga, we fans are the New Hope. We are the Hope that has always been what has and will keep Star Wars alive. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I have to find a new place to buy my Yoda slippers, I will survive and grow stronger in the Force because of this new challenge - we all will.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Although I have been a Star Wars fan for a very long time, the first Star Wars convention that I ever attended was Star Wars Celebration V. My ultra-passionate fan status was, once and for all, confirmed for all time. My fandom reached a new level that I believe is only attainable by communing with other Star Wars fans.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">During this public orgy of all things Star Wars, I did notice that there are many more fans who relate to the dark side and the Sith than I had ever imagined and I have always been curious about this choice. Check out my musings on the subject at <a href="http://www.theforcebookcantina.com/home/2011/7/16/what-the-sith.html">theforcebookcantina</a> and share your feelings.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I finally
reached my goal. I have caught up with the entire Star Wars: The Clone Wars
television series from start to finish.
It was a tough job, but I did it the Wookie Way: all or nothing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Okay,
it wasn’t a tough job it was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">so</b>
much fun. Like my experience with the prequels, it gave me an unexpected
chance to fall in love with Star Wars all over again. I have found new
characters to love: Ashoka Tano, Plo Koon, Satine Kryze (I knew Obi Wan
Kenobi has something hott in his closet.), the clones and many more. I even find
myself attached to dark side, bounty hunters and separatist characters. The battle
scenes in the various arenas are action-packed and keep your heart racing regardless of the fact that, in some cases, you know the outcome: General Grievous will escape,
Count Dooku will not be murdered and Padme Amidala will escape yet another
assassination attempt. Even these scenarios are told in a riveting style that
makes you want to know the how and the why. There are also enough scenarios
where we don’t know the outcome of situations sprinkled into the mix for just
the right amount of flavor. The Master/Padawan relationship, not only from
the Jedi perspective but the Sith’s as well, is revealed in striking detail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I
have always felt that television, if written well, gives the opportunity to
reveal relationships and characters in a way that films cannot—if only
because they have more time. The Clone Wars takes this time to weave stories
that grab a hold of your heart and kick you in the gut when you least expect
it. All done in a cinematic style and quality that make you forget you’re not
in a theater.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It
was great seeing Qui-Gon Ginn again in a story arc that raises more questions
than answers—leave it to Star Wars to make you ‘unlearn what you have learned’.
But it was the most delicious icing on the cake to see the Wookie Hunt:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not a Wookie…it’s <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the</b> Wookie. I squealed unashamedly like an excited school girl
when Chewbacca once again graced a Star Wars screen.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The
Clone Wars isn’t just for kids, but any Star Wars fan who wants more: more
fun, more excitement, more Star Wars. Now the hard part...waiting for Season 4.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">How wonderful
that the conflict in this movie involves Jabba the Hutt. I had often wondered
why the Empire cared to turn Han Solo over to Jabba in <i>Empire</i>. I’d
always assumed that Jabba had paid a bounty for Solo but the fact that his
control of supply lines in the outer rim territories makes him an important
figure throughout the Star Wars Saga justifies the Empire’s dealings with the
Hutt. The film is full of the same kind of action and humor that every Star
Wars fan expects. It has its own edgy 3-D look while staying true to the
classic Star Wars palette.</span></div>

watching the battle scenes in the various terrains of space or new

between the characters.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Those words
spoken by Ben Kenobi have whispered in our ears since the original trilogy
began 34 years ago. Now we can see that
camaraderie in detail. Anakin Skywalker is a Master with his own Padawan but
Obi-Wan is still always there for him saving the day just in the nick of time.
It’s difficult to choose my favorite lines where the two knights show their
adoration for each other, but Obi-Wan’s, “If anyone can fly a bucket of bolts
through hyperspace, he can,” is close.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
interaction of Jedi and clones is also very entertaining and intriguing. These
two classes of warrior learn to care for and respect each other through many

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Whether it be
Obi-Wan and Anakin or Skyguy and Snips, it’s great to see the Master/Padawan
relationship in even its more mundane scenarios. I simply love it when Anakin tells Ashoka,
“Get some rest yourself. It’s been a long day for you little one.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I love Ashoka
Tano! Her sarcastic humor and backhanded saber style will be the envy of every
kid watching – no matter what their age.
The Anakin/Ashoka relationship may seem like an excuse to pull new
“younglings” into the Star Wars family to some, but Yoda reveals early in the
film that Skywalker’s mastery of training a Padawan and then learning to let
them go is key to his own successful maturity as a Jedi Master. Unfortunately, we all know that attachment is
Anakin’s fundamental flaw, which leads to his eventual path to the dark side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Now that
we’ve welcomed little Ashoka Tano into our hearts…what is to become of her? We
don’t see her in Episode III and that makes her ultimate destiny extremely
intriguing. Does Anakin kill her? Does she escape the mass extinction of the
Jedi Order? Who knows? The Clones Wars is a delicious amuse bouche that gives
us all the more reason to watch the television series and find out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: StarVader; font-size: 26pt; line-height: 115%;">A</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> recent incident by a virtual acquaintance of mine, a verbal lashing from their five-year-old concerning their ignorance of the Clone Wars, prompted me to right a very shameful wrong in my life – I am not current with The Clone Wars. When the series began I was very diligent with my viewership, but somehow over time life got hectic and I missed an episode here and there. Feeling that I was unable to keep up with the story line (I’m the sort who won’t watch a movie if they come in even a second after a film starts.) I stopped watching the show thinking that I would catch up over some long weekend. Now months later, as we are all waiting for season 4 to begin in the Fall, I’m desperately trying to get caught up. I have, like a good parent, educated my child from an early age about Star Wars and my now teen-aged daughter has a strong knowledge and love of the Saga. The only thing worse than her apparent, unavoidable seduction by the dark side now that she is a teenager, would be a disdainful scolding due to my ignorance of all things current with The Clone Wars. I have blithely avoided being cornered with questions about the current scenarios of this 3<sup>rd</sup> season by making fresh baked goods, favorite meals and hosting the occasional sleepover. Knowing that these tactics cannot last forever, I finally devised a plan to review the entire series and get caught up before the premiere of season 4 this Fall. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">While my initial intention was to avoid the disparaging remarks bestowed on all parents by their teenagers, I have so utterly enjoyed reviewing the series that I can’t believe I ever let myself get behind. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">From the initial orchestral horns that let you know that it’s Star Wars , to the pounding drums of war that tell you this is also something new. Each episode is like a mini Star Wars film filled with characters you know and love, sweeping scores, visual excitement and above all – great storytelling. You learn things you didn't know about characters we all thought we knew so well and are introduced to others you never knew existed. There are new species, starships, droids and worlds to explore. It is a multimedia feast. Still, what is most miraculous is how griping the stories are considering you already know the ending. I can’t count how many times my heart has raced as I wondered at a story’s outcome.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">I actually caught myself worrying that Anakin or Obi-Wan might not make it through a crisis but then remembering that this is pre-Episode III and they'll both be okay. It's been an exercise in tenacity staying spoiler free, but so far so good, lol.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Don't think that you can't jump right in and start watching episodes on <a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/starwars/index.html">Cartoon Network</a>, Fridays at 8:30 pm because you can. I've watched many episodes out of order and found them very entertaining and not the least bit confusing due to any lack of continuity. If you share my OCD status and want to get the fullest pleasure out of the series, then I strongly suggest purchasing the season 1 & 2 DVDs. You can view the series before purchasing by going to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">Netflix.com where seasons 1 and 2 are now available for DVD rental. Afterwards, you can view episodes from season 3 on StarWars.com.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">I have also included an episode guide at the end of this article to help you on your own quest to Clone Wars enlightenment.</span><br />

His performance and mere presence as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original trilogy lent an immediate sense of honor and nobility to the character as well as to the Jedi order. He is, in fact the first Jedi we ever met.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Ewan McGregor stepped into the daunting role of playing not only a much beloved character in the most known franchise in the world, but also the boots of Sir Alex Guinness and did so to great success. Ewan McGregor and the Prequel storyline did something I never thought possible. Both revealed new dimensions to Obi-Wan Kenobi, someone I thought I knew so well. <br /><br />It’s like the day when you grow up and realize that your parents aren’t just your mom and dad, but that they had a life before you and are actually their own, individual people. Obi-Wan had a Master who he questioned, who he respected and loved, dearly. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ewan McGregor brought sex appeal to a character that was a father figure for decades and made him a man. Obi-Wan was a young, powerful and fervent Jedi before he fulfilled his final destiny of mentor to Luke. He had a passionate and tenacious spirit that enabled him to defeat Anakin, a much more powerful Jedi. Obi-Wan was able to defeat Anakin because he was on the side of what was right. His humble, selfless surrendering of himself to that end, the defeat of evil, gave him the fortitude to be victorious. In every battle that Obi-Wan faces he is not arrogant, does not gloat, but he does not stop until he succeeds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even his surrender of himself to Darth Vader’s Sword was to this end, the ultimate success of Luke. When Obi-Wan meets Han Solo and Chewbacca in the Cantina, his almost blasé demeanor makes perfect sense after seeing the prequels. Obi-Wan after all fought in the Clone Wars, defeated many foes like General Grievous and lived to fight another day after facing Lord Vader. He was there when “dinosaurs” walked the earth. Jedi like Yoda, Mace, Qui-Gon, etc. So the fact that he is not impressed by Han Solo is no big deal. The prequel just makes Obi-Wan make even more sense to me.</span><br />

How could you betray the only father you have ever known? How could anyone torture and hunt down their son and daughter? All these things are revealed in the prequels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only are they revealed but they make them believable, maybe even inevitable. The most iconic cinematic villain of modern times becomes pitiable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>More miraculous than this, his journey becomes one that is a map of redemption for us all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Darth Vader can turn his back on good, do the evil things that he has done—which seem unforgiveable—and yet have the very object of that betrayal, Luke, enable his return to the light, then maybe all of us can slough off the shame of past acts that stop us from reaching our ultimate potential. We learn from the Saga ultimately that it ain’t over until it’s over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can always choose to do the right thing and redeem yourself no matter how badly you have messed up.</span><br />

What a formidable woman! Shmi is not formidable because she is physically imposing or a good fighter. She comes from the most humble beginnings. She is a poor, single mother who doesn’t even possess her own freedom. Yet, from this lowly beginning it is she and not the Jedi who truly begins Anakin’s training. Anakin knows nothing of greed; he is selfless and has been taught to listen to his heart. Aren’t these ultimately the things that Yoda teaches Luke? It is Shmi’s teachings that allow Anakin to tap into the power that is within him. Shmi is a selfless mother. Willing to give him up so that he can have a better life. Allowing him to pursue his passion, being a pilot, even though it “kills [her] when he does it”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The way she holds on, just so she can see Anakin again. The torture she must have endured for that meeting; yet, somehow I know she would not wish on the Sand People the fate that Anakin gave them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shmi Skywalker is a Jedi Master.</span><br />

He is as aesthetically beautiful as he is flawed. But, for every Frankenstein’s monster that exists there is the brilliant, mad scientist who created him. And Senator Palpatine, the Emperor, is that man. In the original trilogy, Lord Vader was the icon that I learned to fear. There was a glimpse of the evil, disfigured Emperor, but what could possibly be worse than finding out that it is your father who has betrayed you? (I was the poster child for Daddy’s Girl.) Possibly, being an orphan who wants to do the right thing and being lead down a road by someone you trust and admire who enables you to destroy and betray everything you have ever loved. If someone had told me before seeing the prequels that there could be a more perfect villain than Darth Vader and that I would learn to pity Vader, I would have told them that they were crazy. Palpatine is not only the most cunning politician and masterful manipulator, but he has absolutely no conscience. Even Vader, shows remorse. In the original trilogy Vader explains that he ‘must’ obey his Master and the dark side of the Force. You can see that Lord Vader has been blinded by the drug, Power, that Palpatine has given him a taste of. Though Lord Vader willfully chooses the dark path over good in the prequel, his sadness, pain and shame are evident. While Palpatine sits quietly, coolly as he tells the story of murdering his mentor in his sleep. He isn’t sorry, he revels in the fact that he stole his mentor’s like while he was none the wiser of the danger. Palpatine is so charming that you completely understand and accept why Vader made the choice that he did. You can’t watch the prequels without saying, darn; I wish he was on my side. He is that good at being bad. I’ve said it once and I will say it again; I have no idea why Ian McDiarmid was not nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar!</span><br />

Finally seeing the Jedi Order, the Clones in action, the battles, the planets, etc. It is all miraculous. The main reason that I love the prequels is that it makes the Star Wars mythology more complete.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We not only have the Hero’s Journey, the Ultimate Redemption,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a more complete view of the Force, the birth and death of a government but many other mythologies that you can find to be entertained and educated by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The layers of the original trilogy that I loved because of all that was to be learned in each viewing has now been increased exponentially.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have learned insights that I never thought I would and the potential to learn more is there. It is just a matter of opening your eyes to see what you have not seen. The best advice I can give anyone who thinks that there isn’t much to love about the prequels is to do what you have done with the originals: watch them, again and again. Every viewing reveals more and more. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ever go online to Facebook or Twitter and wonder where the 'real' Star Wars fans are? Or, get tired of that persistent tweeter who has never seen Star Wars, but insists on negatively tweeting about it. Want a place where you can talk about Star Wars 24/7 and let your fangirl or fanboy freak flag fly. Well </span><a href="http://www.starwars.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">www.starwars.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">, the official star wars site is always there, but now we have a place where we can communicate with other Star Wars fans from all over the world in an unofficial environment. Kind of like surfing the net at home instead of on your company pc where big brother is watching.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is a brand new social environment that can be whatever we Star Wars fans make of it. It seems to be a blending of existing social networking sites, but with a Star Wars flair. So far, my favorite feature is that you can post on theFORCEbook and then share your comments on other social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Delicious, Digg, Linked In, StumbleUpon, MySpace and FriendFeed with relative ease. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure if you've ever read my blog you know that the announcement of an official release date for the Star Wars Saga has my heart all a flutter. I just recently completed my 6 lists of the top 10 scenes that I would like to see in each episode. Once the list was completed I felt a bit empty, you know, the way any UPF of Star Wars feels when the credits finish at the end of the movie. Today I added my countdown widget for Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace the official kick off of the Star Wars Saga in 3-D on the big screen to my blog. Now the waiting and anticipation begins.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this is also a great time to review my previous lists. I won't bore you with the details here, but I will supply all the previous post links:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Repeated viewing of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi so that I could choose my favorite scenes to see in 3-D was so much fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I LOVE Luke Skywalker even more each time I see it! Aesthetically speaking, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker is just perfect. This final episode of the Star Wars Saga packages everything together and delivers it! As always, the visuals are awe inspiring and the music is perfect. Wedge is back and loaded for bear, and the Empire is finally defeated.</span></div>

Luke resists the temptation of power by the Dark Side and is a shining beacon leading Anakin back to the Light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Darth Vader can slough off the shroud of shame he wears for all that he has done in the name of the Dark Side, forgive himself and return to the Light Side of the Force; then maybe I can forgive myself for the little things that I have done in my life that keep me from my ultimate destiny.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Don’t let shame and past mistakes cause you to wallow in failure – It’s a Trap!</span></div>
<ol>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">A Jedi’s Fury – Luke Skywalker is a Jedi on fire as he masterfully defeats Darth Vader, but our humble knight soon emerges from his fury and is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice rather than kill his own father. With a single battle cry and an epic Star Wars silhouette, I am entranced. It’s not good emperor. It’s great! When Luke says, “I am a Jedi like my father before me.” I get all verklempt.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Father vs. Son – The light saber battle has already begun when we join this scene and we learn with Darth Vader that Luke has learned some new tricks. </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Luke and The Emperor – I know there is no great action in this scene, but watching Luke handcuffed with Vader beside him, a lamb, calmly walking to the slaughter. Again, a visually beautiful scene that is full of dread for me.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Speeder Bike Chase – This scene is so much fun and the dizzying speed is thrilling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I especially love that little twinkle in Luke’s eye when the stormtrooper turns back to finish him off. You can just hear him thinking, “It’s the last mistake you’ll ever make.”</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Fully Operational – It’s a Trap! I knew it! The action in this space battle is awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love watching Lando chase down those three TIE fighters. They mayhem truly begins when they realize that the Death Star is operational.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Force Lightning – The emperor thinks that Luke is going to pay the price for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">his</i> lack of vision, but it is only Luke who sees that redemption is possible for Anakin. The few moments that Darth Vader thinks before acting are agony to me…I can feel Luke’s pain. Every time I just know he is going to fall into the crevice.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Into the Death Star – Going into the belly of the beast and riding this obstacle course in 3-D will be an incredible ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Lucas, after you revamp Star Tours, this should be the next ride!</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">Death Star Destroyed – I’m a Star Wars fan, so of course, I want to see a big explosion! Well Jedi does not disappoint. I’m surprised Lando Calrissian doesn’t lose is mustache as he just escapes the flames.</span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">The Sarlacc Pit – “I used to live here.” “You’re gonna die here, you know.” Luke is full-out Jedi taking on Jabba’s henchmen and Leia shows Jabba what happens to anyone who messes with her man! </span></div>
</li>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Oh no! The Rancor!” We all know what’s coming – Oola, the green Twi’lek girl, didn’t stand a chance. But Luke keeps his cool and shows Jabba that he’s gotten more than he bargained for in Luke.</span> </span></div>
</li>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I know there was a sporting event yesterday, American football I think, some team won and the other one lost. But, the BEST thing about the entire spectacle was that we the fans won by seeing this commercial. I know a lot of folks are commenting about Max Page not seeing the films...he's six years old. I'm a grown up and Darth Vader still scares me. I'm sure he will see the films when it's time. It's his destiny, lol.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It seems rather appropriate to start the new year with a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">listing of the top 10 scenes I can't wait to see in 3-D for </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Star Wars: A New Hope. Choosing only 10 scenes, like </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">all the previous times I've completed a listing, is very </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">difficult. But each time it is a labor of love and a great </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">excuse to watch each film again. I abstain from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">watching each film for at least a week before reviewing </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">it for the listing. I was happily surprised by my </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">experience on this viewing of a New Hope. Possibly </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">because I know that once completed, the list is out </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">there on the Internet never to be rescinded and as a </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Star Wars Ultra Passionate Fan, I take the listing very </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">seriously. Whatever the reason, it was as if I was </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">seeing the film for the first time. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
</font><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cinematography, lighting and color palette of the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">film were especially apparent to me on this viewing. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The warmth of Tatooine in contrast to the cold, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">darkness of space took on a new artistic significance, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and I wondered at what George Lucas must have been </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">trying to teach me. Even Princess Leia's plea to Obi-</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wan Kenobi, a speech I have watched hundreds of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">times, seemed especially poignant. Maybe the memory </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">of Carrie Fisher's recent recital of that speech at </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Celebration V is still fresh in my memory. I was lucky </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">enough to share a quick conversation with Miss Fisher </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">from the stage, and her kindness, charm and wit were </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">everything and more than I expected.</span></span><br />
<br />

</div>
</font><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I usually try not to alter time, speed up the harvest or </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">teleport myself off any rocks, but I can hardly wait to </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">see these films starting with Episode I in 2012. Until </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">then, the Force will be with me.</span></span><br />

<li>Trench Runs: This is our first glimpse of the Rebel fighters engaged in battle and there is plenty of World War I Flying Aces type action.<br /> </li>
<li>Imperial Boarding Party: The opening, as Leia's Rebel blockade runner is chased by the Imperial Star Destroyer, is awe inspiring. The juxtaposition of her tiny ship to the huge destroyer is an allusion to the David vs. Goliath battle that lies ahead.</li>
<li>Alderaan's Fate: From the charging of the Death Star's ultimate weapon to the merciless blast that destroys a planet in mere seconds, this scene is our first taste of a Star Wars fireworks extravaganza.</li>
<li>Fighter Attack: Why hasn't someone released a full -motion video arcade game where you can sit in the Millennium Falcon's gunner chairs and destroy Imperial Star Fighters!? I don't know, but this scene is going to be really fun in 3-D and I will start saving up my quarters.</li>
<li> Rescuing the Princess: It is a blaster blazing, all-out frenzy when Luke, Han and Chewbacca take over the Detention Center to rescue Leia. There is one blast in particular that comes straight at you!</li>
<li>Into the Garbage Chute Flyboy: The shootout at the OK Corral, George Lucas style, resumes as does our opportunity for blaster action.</li>
<li>Assault on the Death Star: The Rebel fighter squadron leaves Yavin 4 to engage the Imperial Battle Station. I love the departure, the formation and engaging of X-foils and finally the approach on the Death Star.</li>
<li>Leia's Message: Though this is not an action sequence, R2-D2's hologram of Leia's plea lends itself to some awesome 3-D holographic imagery. I will keep my fingers crossed.</li>
<li>Binary Sunset: I know there isn't any action in this scene and nothing really happens, but this scene has always been the heart of the film for me. If there is any way possible to use 3-D effects to make the two suns of Tatooine more real, then I know I will be able to feel their heat, lol.</li>
