John was drinking a glass of wine. When he finished he looked at the stormtrooper Colonel Kramer called in. John gave him his E-11.

John: *Puts the glass on the table. He begins to walk around the table, going clockwise* Right. Now that we're all comfortable, I think it's time to talk about who everyone is, and what they're doing here. Now first the Lieutenant. He's an assassin. A well trained professional in the Rebel Alliance. His job is to shoot you Colonel Kramer, and you General Rosemeyer. He was sent from Yavin to Coruscant to help the Republic with a rescue operation, which brings us...

John, and Morris were in the golden hall, a big room with a big table. Eight chairs are on each side of the table, including one at each end. To the left of the table is a fireplace, and on the wall is a mural of the rise, and fall of the Jedi, before the Galactic Empire took over. They watched from an upstairs balcony as General Carnaby was being interrogated by three imperials.

Colonel Kramer: I'm sure you do have places to go to, but you must understand how an interrogation works.
General Carnaby: General George Carnaby, USA-39-1964.
General Rosemeyer: There's gotta be more than just your name,...

Song: link

Two officers were standing next to a fire by the Tie Interceptor.

John: That could give us extra trouble. We'll have to take care of the pilot.
Morris: I'll take care of him. *Walks downstairs, and passes them, heading towards a radio room*

Skip the song to 1:08

When Morris walked in, the room looked empty, but he wasn't so sure.

Morris: *Pulls out his silenced blaster, and looks in front of him*

Out of Morris' view to his right behind a wall, the radio operator was making himself a cup of coffee.

Morris: Hello.
Radio Operator: *Walks in front of Morris*
Morris: *Fires his blaster*
Radio Operator:...

After ignoring Admiral Roland's orders to retreat, Major Smith, and Lieutenant Schaffer continued packing the bags for their operation.

John: *Hearing speeders approach, and goes towards a window. He looks out, careful to make sure he won't get spotted*
Imperials: *Arriving in IFT-D's, and Imperial Troop Transports with Stormtroopers*
Imperial Officer: Go! Send a squad in there to find the intruders!
John: We got company. *Turns off the lights*

John: I'll pack the rest of the bags. Head out the back window.
Morris: Alright. *Holding two bags, he walks to the back window*

Major Von Hapen was now in the castle with Mary, and Heidi. They walked up to Lieutenant Schwartz's desk.

Major Von Hapen: Good evening Lieutenant. We have a new member for the female staff.
Lieutenant Schwartz: Can I see your papers please?
Mary & Heidi: *Pull out their papers, and give them to Lieutenant Schwartz*
Lieutenant Schwartz: *Looking at the papers, and stands up* Will you come with me please?
Major Von Hapen: I will see you later.
Mary: Thank you Major.

After the three women left, Major Von Hapen examined some papers on the desk.

Colonel Kramer: *Arrives* Did you find anything interesting...

After leaving the shed, John walked back to the Alpine Bar. Another song was heard in the distance, coming from the bar: link

John: *Looks to the left behind two Imperial Troop Transports, and finds a body. He walks towards it*

It was Jott. He was dead. Blood was coming out of his mouth.

John: *Back inside the bar with Morris* He was heading towards me. Until someone killed him. Did you see where the other three went?
Morris: I couldn't see. This place is very crowded, and there's more than one exit. Anyone of them could have slipped out. If you don't mind me saying so Major, I think there's more...

In a village near the castle, a steam engine blew it's whistle, pulling seven hopper cars. Once the train was gone, it was safe for John, and his men to cross the tracks. They had to pass between two more freight cars, marked for the Imperials.

Morris: You know Major, I thought this galaxy got rid of trains over 200 years ago.
John: Not on this planet. They're preserved for recreational, and educational purposes. Let's go into the depot across the street.

Song: link

Quickly, and quietly, John and the others got to the depot. John held the door open for the others as he watched to make sure no Imperials...

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awaken Review

The Poster.

Hi guys, I had seen the movie in December with my younger brother and my parents had recently seen it yesterday. So here is my review about the movie, enjoy reading it.

The Story-Line

Since Disney took over as the new management of the Star Wars franchise, I love how they kept tradition with the opening and the famous theme song that we're so familiar with.
The story takes place after the events on Episode VI and many characters are newcomers, especially Flynn, Rey and just to name a few. As the story progresses, Rey and Flynn's interaction blossoms into friendship and together they work as...

The Story of Rey: A Fan Theory

posted by misse1000

Spoilers lie ahead if you *sigh* still have not seen Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

As you probably know, being a fan of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens, was recently released on home media. For me, that means I have now seen it a shameful amount of times. A large part of my love for TFA is desert-scavenger-turned-Jedi Rey. She's pretty awesome. But one question that remains largely unanswered is this: who is Rey, and where did she come from?

After seeing TFA so many times, I am more and more convinced that Rey's father is none other than Luke Skywalker. For the following...

Tracker tightened the belt around Morgan's waist. As they landed on a planet hardly suitable for any life-form. Steai unwrapped his neck cloth and gently bound Morgan's yet black and blue eyes.
"That's not too tight is it?" Morgan touched his cheek. "No, thank-you." Manni frowned deeply as he observed Steai's lingering touch on Morgan's bindings. Steai had become quite attached to the wonder girl. He narrowed his eyes in thought. Was he jealous? No. Well, maybe a little. Alot. Yes, he sighed. Morgan turned at the sound of the sigh and gave him one of her smiles."Sorry, but he's such a chatter...

Meetra didn't want to go on. To take more lives. She just wanted to go back to Onderon. She'd even go back Peragus. But, she didn't want her friends to get hurt. She walked back to the mercenary camp cloaked by a stealth field generator. The mercenaries were on high alert.
"Anyone see 'er?" asked a tall fit mercenary. "Not yet," another yelled back. Meetra Surik let out a sigh. She then changed her footing to step into the mercenaries imediate area. She carfully and tightly held her deactivated light-saber and kept taking silent steps towards...

Notes and Observations of "STAR WARS: EPISODE V - THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK"

The following is a list of minor notes and observations that came to me, during my recent viewing of “Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back”. I hope that you enjoy them:

*Exactly who was in command of the Rebel Alliance base on Hoth – Leia or General Rieekan?

*What was Leia doing on Hoth with the Rebel Alliance military personnel? Why wasn’t she with the other political Rebel leaders?

*Ah yes! The ”I just as soon kiss a Wookie!” dialogue between Leia and Han. Charming, although slightly . . . childish.

*How . ....

Dooku's Turncoat

prologue:
In the darkness of the downpour Sota Slayer put down her transport onto Kamino's cloner facilities landing pad. It had been a surprise when the Force had touched her. Sota's heart contracted. After all this time, after all that had happened. Once she'd been a jedi of some re-known, then the dark one had lead her astray. Not even her beloved husband and father to their children had been allowed to survive. Now she was reduced to taking and training others to take lives. Not without a full investigation first. She would have no more innocent blood on her hands. Sota snorted. Only the...

"STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE" (1999) Review

Sixteen years after the 1983 movie, "STAR WARS: EPISODE VI - RETURN OF THE JEDI" hit the movie screens, producer-director George Lucas returned to the world of STAR WARS for a new trilogy that depicted the years before the 1977-1983 movies, starting with the 1999 film, "STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE".

"THE PHANTOM MENACE" was received very poorly by critics and veteran STAR WARS fans when it was first released in 1999. Many believed that it failed to capture the spirit of Lucas' saga first established in the first three films....

"My Problem With Kylo Ren"

"MY PROBLEM WITH KYLO REN"

Kylo Ren has to be THE MOST overrated character I have ever seen in the Star Wars saga. I am amazed by how so many fans have gone out of their way to put this guy on a pedestal. My personal disgust for this worship has nothing to do with him being portrayed as a villain. There are plenty of other villains - within the saga or not - that I actually find interesting. My problem with Kylo Ren is that I do not find him either interesting or well written.

I will start this article with a question. What was the reason behind Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo embracing evil? What was...

"STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII - THE LAST JEDI" (2017) Review

Following the success of the Disney Studios' first hit STAR WARS film, "STAR WARS: EPISODE VII - THE FORCE AWAKENS", I had assumed that producer-director J.J. Abrams would helm the next chapter in the franchise's Sequel Trilogy. I was eventually surprised to learn that Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy, hired writer-director Rian Johnson to both write and direct "EPISODE VIII".

My positive reaction to the news about Johnson being hired by Lucasfilm originated with my reaction to his 2012 film, "LOOPER". I found Johnson's 2012 film to...

Song: link

Captain Smith: Gentlemen, as of this moment, all Imperials have been pushed away from Coruscant. We've done it. This planet is now ours!
Pilots: *Cheering*
Mary: *Walks over to Smith, and hugs him* I want you to have this. *Holding a box for the Captain* You're being promoted.
Captain Smith: *Opens the box, and sees his Major badge* Thank you.
Mary: Don't thank me, thank the General, but I would like to take you out to dinner. *Kisses Smith*

The song fades away as the other pilots cheer. Meanwhile on Chevrelium, things were not so pleasant.

General Kar: You have betrayed me for the last...

John, and Morris walked into the center of the village, where the cable car station was. Three Imperial Troop Transports stopped next to the station.

Stormtrooper 75: *Opens the back door*
Stormtrooper 62: *Pushes Barkley, Thomas, and Christianson out* Go. Into the cable car station.

They walked towards the edge, climbed over a fence, and waited for the cable car to move up.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I am a huge Star Wars fan, I've been a fan since I was 7 years old. I am what some would call an O.T. generation kid, but I also really loved the prequels and Jar Jar Binks as well, still can't figure out why some fan hate him so much, but this isn't about the prequels or Jar Jar, it's about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

As a "O.T." kid I loved this movie, all the small call backs to A New Hope were awesome and they were done right, they were not "ham-handed" and they did not feeling like fan service to me.

I fell in love with all the characters so quickly and that just made me care about them more and to me that is a sign of a great director and a great story teller. So, I say great job Gareth Edwards, great job.

I don't want to give any spoilers away, so I don't think there is anymore I can say without spoiling it. So, if you haven't seen Rogue One: A Story Wars Story yet........ what are you waiting for?
