Why Luke is the Least Heroic "Hero" Ever

posted by TheMagicLoki

You probably watch a lot of movies. We all do. Except for Amish people, but if you're Amish, you're not reading this. Every movie has a protagonist, but he/she is not necessarily always a hero (Deadpool, The Godfather, etc.). However, sometimes, characters who are supposedly heroes are not so heroic either. Of course, realizing this, I took it upon myself to figure out which "good" protagonist was the least good. After searching the realm of movies for many long years, I have come to believe that Luke Skywalker is the man I've been looking for. Here's why:

#1. His Reaction to Death

"STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES" (2002) Review

The fandom surrounding the 2002 movie, "STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES" has always struck me as somewhat a fickle affair. When the movie first hit the theaters over eleven years ago, many critics and film fans had declared the movie a major improvement over its predecessor, 1999's "STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE". Some even went out of their way to declare it as the second best STAR WARS movie ever made. Another three to five years passed before the critics and fans' judgement went through a complete reversal....

Pain lanced through her.Feeling like the dance of a thousand cuts. Gasping she turned towards her brother's seat, to see if he was also feeling the same. Only to see to her horror, a pool of dark blood. Sending her returned force senses up through the keep, she quickly ran up the winding stairs in her silver fox form. Reaching her brother's family apartments in her human form, she eased the door delicately open. Only to be welcomed by a scene that made her burn and sick at the same time. Blood coated the walls, the bodies torn and strewn across the floor. Not even his grandson's newborn had...

"If you look out your window you can see Ireland." The stewardess said as she strolled the drink cart up the isle. Morgan peered from under her night eye mask to blink into focus the lush green squares that dotted the emerald isle. "Is this you're first time to Scottland dear?" The older woman asked in the seat next to her. She nodded. "This is going to be my first and last." The older woman paled. Morgan blushed sheepishly. "No not like that. I'm going to start new. Here. I have nothing left to go back for in America." The older woman shook her head.

The following is a list of minor notes and observations that came to me, during my recent viewing of "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi". I hope that you enjoy them:

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS of "STAR WARS: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi"

*I have always found the launching of shuttles rather different in the STAR WARS saga, in compare to other science-fiction sagas. The Imperial shuttles leave the starships like drops of water from a faucet.

*The commander of the Death Star II seemed to react with horror at the news of the Emperor’s impending arrival. Quite a contrast to his mild nervousness at...

Internet rallies behind teased Star Wars girl By Liz Goodwin

posted by LovingLucy

In the sort of heartwarming storyline one might expect from an elementary-school-style episode of "Glee," a 7-year-old girl has attracted an outpouring of support from Star Wars enthusiasts who read that she was being teased for her fandom.

Katie Goldman's mother, Carrie, wrote on her blog that first-grade boys at Katie's school in Evanston, Ill., were teasing her over her Star Wars water bottle because "it's only for boys." Katie (whose Star Wars enthusiasm has earned her the nickname "Little Jedi") already felt different for being adopted and for having to wear an eye patch. In response to...

Bree Meets Anakin

posted by StarWarsFan7

"Wow, now that this battle is over, I guess we can move along to something more important." says Obi-Wan. "Of course, master." says Anakin.

On Naboo, Bree Maloria, Obi-Wan's other apprentice is waiting at a lake. They arrive and Anakin is confused because they never have any freetime.
"Uhh, master what are we doing here?" asks Anakin.
"Let's just say, I want you to meet a friend of mine." Obi-Wan hugs Bree as she stares at Anakin.
He lets go and says, "Anakin, this is my other padawan, Bree Maloria. Bree. Anakin. Anakin. Bree."
"Nice to meet you, Bree." "And to you, Anakin.
"You two will be working together."
"WHAT!?" They both say.

Bao-Dur

This story takes place directly after the events of the amazing game Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. It is just a fan fiction and never really happened.

It had been not long after the Jedi exile, Meetra Surik, had battled and beaten the Sith lord Darth Traya, The Jedi exile's master. The Ebon hawk floated in space at this point. The exile named Meetra had wandered into the cockpit of the Ebon Hawk. There, flying the ship, was the scoundrel Atton Rand. “So... How'd it go?” asked Atton. “Kreia, or as she is now identified as, Darth Traya...

The Rise of Skywalker Review

posted by deedragongirl

Kylo Ren & Rey

Hi guys, a couple of days ago, I watched the Rise of Skywalker which was the final chapter of the new Star Wars trilogy and it coincide with my younger brother's 29th birthday. Ready?

The Story

At least that the story is not predictable like the second one, and it is very straightforward too. I was also taken aback that Rey is a descendant of Emperor Palpatine and at least she did not follow into his path despite that she has nightmares of being on the dark side!
Rey also got her Happy Ending when she is a true jedi in her own right.

The Characters

Speaking of the characters themselves, I was...

Kelly's Heroes Part 14

General Rancor had his medals, and was prepared to congratulate Kelly, and his friends for going behind enemy lines.

General Rancor: I am very proud of all those men for their heroic actions. After we give them their medals, we're going to celebrate. *Climbs into a Metra with Major Colwin, and another Rebel*
Rebel Soldier: *Drives*

Kelly and his team finally reached the western side of Empyra. They were on top of a hill. Kelly was looking down at the area below them where the bank was located. Cowboy and Little Joe snuck into the village.

Cowboy: Can you see anythin' from where your standing?

Ticara bowed low to the Keeper, the old man came forward and placed a loving kiss upon his only remaining heir. His grand-daughter." What brings our gracious king's newest passion to see an old man?" Sicar saw the disgust on her face as she rose up from her bow. " When?" It was a question all to often asked these days, one that he had no answer for as of yet. He looked out the window at the cherry tree that had grown so well in these 35 years. Under it the sad bundle that the Imprinted one had asked to bury in their garden. With only...

*Both the Trade Federation and Darth Sidious seemed surprised that Supreme Chancellor Valorum had dispatched Jedi Knights to act as mediators between the Trade Federation and Naboo. Apparently, this discovery had led Sidious to order a premature invasion of Naboo.

" I have twins....God Help me"

Lord Vader watched as the Millennium Falcon flew away and as the fighter pilots in their ships all flew away. He knew one of them held his son Luke.

Frustrated that they did not reach the rebels in time, Vader took his anger out on Captain Needa. " You lost the FALCON! YOU TOLD ME WE WOULD MAKE IT IN TIME!" Vader said angrily.

" I...I thought we..we were stealthy enough to catch them by surprise...I'm sorry my Lord..NO..NO PLEASE D-!Ahh ahh" screamed Capt. Needa. Vader started to stranglehold him until he passed out.

" Hmmm...Yes. I'm sure you are. Apology excepted Captain Needa" said Vader with...

My opinon on Carrie Fisher's death.

posted by Renegade1765

Because it's the last day of 2016, I've decided to dedicate an article to a special someone who meant a lot to me, and for everyone else: Carrie Fisher.
Like everyone else, I was pretty damn (Sorry about that.) shocked when I heard about Carrie Fisher's death. I was talking to my friend on Google+ when he informed about her death. I knew that she had a heart attack about a week before she died, but I didn't expect this.

Without any further a due, let's being!

Star Wars is my second favorite franchise of all time. Not only is it a big part of my childhood, but also a big part of my life.

The worst thing about star wars.

posted by JediAngel

OK, OK, don't kill me! This is something that I've noticed about Star Wars that is very annoying to me. The annoying thing is this: it's inconsistent. I mean, think about it; things that happen in the prequels aren't always consistent with things that are said or happen in the OT. Part of the problem is the fact that the prequels were made long after the OT was. For example, in ANH, Obi Wan dies, and his body vanishes. In ROTJ, Yoda dies and his body vanishes. But, again in ROTJ, Anakin/Vader dies and it doesn't appear that his body vanishes, and in TPM, Qui Gon dies, and his body doesn't...

Space was the only thing visible by the time the small dot was gone. The small dot was the planet they traveled away. The small dot was Korriban. Another dot appeared. This one was much bigger,much closer. This one was Dantooine. This one was the beginning.

The Celebration of Mediocrity and Unoriginality in “STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS”

“THE CELEBRATION OF MEDIOCRITY AND UNORIGINALITY IN “STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS”

Look … I liked the new “STAR WARS” movie, “THE FORCE AWAKENS”. I honestly do. Heck, I feel it is better than J.J. Abrams’ two “STAR TREK” films. But I am astounded that this film has garnered so much acclaim. It has won the AFI Award for Best Picture. It has been nominated by the Critics Choice Award for Best Picture.

“THE FORCE AWAKENS”??? Really? It did not take long for certain fans to point out that the movie’s plot bore a strong resemblance to the first “STAR WARS” movie, “A...

"STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI" (1983) Review

The third movie and sixth episode of George Lucas' original STAR WARS saga, "STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI", has become something of a conundrum for me. It was the first STAR WARS movie that immediately became a favorite of mine. But in the years that followed, my opinion of the film had changed.

Directed by Richard Marquand, "RETURN OF THE JEDI" picked up a year after "STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" left off. The movie begins with the arrival of the Emperor Palpatine aka Darth Sidious and his apprentice,...
