Homework Jan_26

   This week I'm off doing the podcasts. So I'm helping Mr.Geller taking photos in Elp for the yearbook. I'm the only person taking pictures of Elp because I'm the only one going to Elp. I couldn't take a lot of pictures there because there weren't a lot of clubs happening that week. I only took a good 10 pictures of Elp and one in AACE.

While Darth Vader was trying to get a hold of that weapon or moon to destroy Princess's planet which he successfully did to smithereens.While Obi Wan-Kenobi felted it like a force that tells him a million people had die in somewhere.
   Darth Vader is trying to capture the Princess because he wants the Death Star and all the rebel bases hideout, but the Princess putted a computer chip thing inside R2d2 to ask Obi Wan-Kenobi for help. So R2d2 and C3PO escaped the ship and went in search to find Obi Wan-Kenobi, R2d2's owner. Which they did but got captured by some short bandits and sold them to Luke Skywalker.
  Luke Skywalker father was an apprentice of Obi Wan-Kenobi. Luke's father was killed by Obi Wan Kenobi's other apprentice. When Luke found Obi Wan-Kenobi he gave him his fathers light saber and told him all about the force around them.

Lucas Book Blog Entry

   I picked a book about the biography of George Lucas. I wanted to learn more about George's life. What movies he made. How the Star Wars movies got so popular in the 80's etc. I actually wanted to know who help George film the entire series of Star Wars back then. How much money was used to make the entire movie and more. Also, I wondered how they made Yoda and the other characters in Star Wars. I guess thats all I wanted to find out, maybe their might be even newer information in the book I don't know about.

Star Wars V Plot Summary

    In the beginning Luke was traveling in the icy cold planet called Hoth with his camel animal thing investigating a meteor nearby. Luke didn't came back and the Rebels were beginning to worry themselves of Luke missing. He was actually trapped by Wampa a ice monster in a cave. He used his force to get his light saber and cut off his leg cuffs and slashed the monster and escaped. But, he got lost in the snow storm and doesn't know his way around the new area. As, Luke traveled arcross the icy terrain, he lost quite a bit of his energy and falled to the ground. Stuggling for his final breath, he saw the spirit of Obi Wan Kenobi and he told Luke to go to the planet of Dagobah, in search of a great Jedi master Yoda.
    After the image of Obi Wan Kenobi went away, Han Solo and R2D2 the robot came to the rescue and took Luke back to the Echo Base. The Imperial troops found the Rebel forces location and invaded them. The Imperial troops eventually took over the base. So then Princess and Han solo fled away along with Luke, R2D2, and Chewbacca. The Princess and Han Solo were in love but they kept their affection hidden and act like kids too each other. Han Solo was then frozen by Darth Vader. After his Luke's little training by Yoda he came back to rescue the Princess and the rest of the crew. The battle with Darth Vader cost Luke's hand. Luke later found out Darth Vader was his father. The crew was safe and sound after they rescued Luke Skywalker dangling in a wire.
   Darth Vader was the leader of the Imperial troops and wanted to capture Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker is the leader of the Rebel Forces. They don't like each other. I feel its awkward thinking just knowing father is a criminal or a bad person and you never seen him for so long its just awkward. He never took cared of you and just suddenly want you to join the dark side.

Star War Goof

        Today I watched Star Wars: Episode V-The Empire Strikes Back. Luke was being held captured by a snowy monster. He used his force to get his light saber and cut off his leg cuffs and killed the snowy monster. Now his comrades couldn't find him and thinks that Luke is lost. I often see things disappearing a lot. I wouldn't blame them for all there mistakes because it was made 30 years and they didn't have good technology as us right now.  Like I could see the wires hanging Luke up in the ceiling.
