Care to expand on that?

Another Han & Leia moment!

"That wasn't a laser blast"

Anybody else love this scene? Harrison Ford was so completely perfect as Han Solo, it's hard to believe he also played Indiana Jones.

I'd Rather Kiss a Wookie!

I love Han and Leia's relationship during The Empire Strikes Back. It's pretty funny but sweet at the same time I added a new page with all the interviews I did with you all, so check it out! :D

Top Five Favorite Characters from the Original Trilogy

 

Princess Leia 

"Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way?!"

          Who doesn't love Princess Leia? She is strong, smart, pretty, brave, and definitely not your normal damsel-in-distress. It isn't every day that we see an eighteen year-old girl standing up to the Sith lord, Darth Vader. I think Princess Leia was one of George Lucas' best characters for that and many other reasons like her character growth. In the beginning of A New Hope, we see this small, bossy young woman who won't take orders from anyone. At the end of Return of the Jedi, she is a  beautiful, understanding woman who knows that the world doesn't revolve around her. I love her even more for that. Her relationship with Han is another reason that makes her a strong character. You don't see many relationships like in the Original Trilogy today. Even the Prequel Trilogy doesn't have as strong and classic a romance as in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.  Many people after watching A New Hope would never think that Han Solo and Leia would ever have romance, but George Lucas definitely gave viewers a surprise when The Empire Strikes Back was released.  The only part where I don't enjoy Leia is in Jabba's Palace. Other than that, she is by far, my favorite character.

Han Solo

 "I love you!"

"I know."

      Han Solo is definitely the coolest guy in Star Wars.  His whole 'whatever' attitude definitely puts a little humor into the movie.  When we first see him in A New Hope, he is in the Cantina with his furry side-kick, Chewbacca, doing nothing really. From the very first, we can see that he doesn't care much for anybody or anything except for his Millennium Falcon and Chewbacca. Then, in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, we see that he is just maybe falling in love with Princess Leia and beginning to think about things besides his whole wonderful life of smuggling.  At the end of  Return of the Jedi, he is a completely different character, willing to and wanting to help. Another amazing character growth! Applause for George Lucas.

            My sister sometimes mentions sometimes that even though he is a favorite, he would really be an annoying person to be around in real life. Sadly, I have to agree with her.  In the movie, I'm totally like, "What's wrong with you, Leia!" but I'd probably would do exactly the same thing as her in the movie if I was in her place.Whoa. I'm talking about Leia again...hehe.  Overall, I really like Han, and I doubt Star Wars would be what it is if it wasn't for Han. :)

Darth Vader

          

"Luke, I am your father."

Darth Vader...do I really have to say anything other than he is THE best villain of all times...and Loki. Hold on...*looks at banner* Sorry, I forgot. Star Wars only. 

Before the Prequel trilogy came out, I'm sure everyone wanted to learn more about this mysterious character who turned out to be Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia's father. What happened to him? How did Obi-Wan Kenobi know about him? ...all those things. Even though I said Leia was one of George Lucas' best characters, I think it is right to say that Darth Vader is his best character. Just a thought...wouldn't it be awesome to be one of the first people to see Darth Vader step into the door of Tantive IV? 

Boba Fett

"Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold."

I don't have much to say about Boba Fett.  I think he is an awesome character in The Empire Strikes Back and even in Return of the Jedi though he dies. He is just a mysterious bounty hunter who is after Han Solo...nothing else, but he is still totally awesome.  His armor, jet packs, and everything make him all the more awesome. :D
I think it was really cool how George Lucas decided to put in a little history behind the bounty hunter. It makes his role in the last two episodes all the better.

C3PO & R2D2

"We're doomed."

I'm counting these two droids as one because they are always together in the Original Trilogy. C3PO and R2D2....two completely different characters but friends all the same. C3PO is the annoying pessimist who looks at situations in the worst possible way making him a comic sidekick in the movie. R2D2 is that droid who is useful in every situation, smart, and brave.  He is like an odd-job man...delivering a message from Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi....turning off garbage compactors...helping Luke Skywalker...all those things. You can't really imagine either droid without the other unless you are watching The Phantom Menace, and that isn't an episode in the Original Trilogy, so never mind.  They are always together whether it is on Endor or Tatooine or cloud city. It's funny that R2D2 is usually the one who C3PO blames for their trouble, but it's really C3PO who is getting them in trouble with his stubborn, pessimistic attitude...and then of course R2D2 is the one who saves them from whatever scrape they got into until they meet the Ewoks...and you all know what happens there.

Mesa Back!

I'm back and posting again! You all knew if you read my last post that I had some bad internet connection problems.  It is somewhat fixed, but I am still having a hard time with the internet. I was also very busy with Cinderella performances and rehearsals this week.

For now, presenting the Star Wars Alphabet
