E is For...

In the continuation of the A to Z Challenge in my post today.E is for Ewok.

If you have seen the Return of the Jedi. Then you know exactly what an Ewok is at least. For those who do not know. 
Ewoks were curious individuals that stood about one meter tall; they were omnivorous and used spears, slings, and knives as weapons; they also used hang gliders, battle wagons, and bordoks as vehicles. Although extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults, the Ewoks had yet to progress past stone-level technology when discovered by the Empire. They were quick learners, however, when exposed to advanced technology with simple mechanical processes and concepts.


The Ewoks were in allaince for the Rebellion towards the Empire. So yes they are good guys. The Ewoks are also a  tribal society meaning they have a chief. Think of a Native American tribe with the different men in that society.


I am just wondering what your thoughts are toward the Ewoks?

D is For...

In the continuation of the A to Z Challenge in my post today. D is for Darth Maul. There was so many different ways that I could have went with this letter so I decided ti go with Darth Maul, due to the fact that I used Darth Vader with letter A already.

Darth Maul was an effective and trained Jedi killer thanks to the Emperor. He was not completely heartless, granting those he felt worthy of his respect quick and painless deaths.Maul thought a one-man army for the Sith (Empire)Order. He wanted to defeat the Jedi Order in their temple. Maul was heavily prone to acts of gloating, despite his master's disapproval. His overconfidence was such that he revealed his true identity.

The thing that everyone remembers about Darth Maul is that he was the poster child for the Phantom Menace movie.  He is also the sith that had the sweet double-bladed lightsaber. What else could be more useful while fighting multiple Jedi.

I bet the way that Maul was defeated by Padawan  Obi-Wan Kenobi. Maul severely underestimated Kenobi's skill after killing his Jedi master. Kenobi severed Maul at the waist.

What would cause you more fear the appearance of Maul or his skill?

C is For...

In the continuation of the A to Z Challenge in my post today. C is for C-3PO.

He is the first letter that I am doing for the for the rebellion side. C-3PO was a different type of a droid. He was probably the last that anyone would guess that would be in the middle of the the rebellion. He with all the different languages out there in the galaxy. It is rumored that  he was fluent in over 6 million forms of communication.

C-3PO was rather  cowardly as shown when he flees in terror when attacked by Imperials on Hoth. C-3PO is rather polite and quirky and also sarcastic at times as well. He was also the most loyal to any master of his without question. It also seemed that he was always so scared. 

Later in life,  C3PO had uploaded information regarding child-rearing into his memory banks and would meet the challenge with an initial enthusiasm but mixed results to help Leia with her children.

Now can you imagine C3PO as your babysitter for you children? 

B is For...

In the continuation of the A to Z Challenge in my post today. B is for Boba Fett.

Who else would I choose for this letter. Boba Fett is most popular person on the Empire that is a fan favorite....well besides the dark lord Darth Vader. What is no to like about Fett. He was one of the best bounty hunters in all the galaxy hands down. Plus, what is more intimidating in a bounty hunter that does not talk, but does his job.

Boba was a clone of the famed Jango Fett. Jango taught Boba much, training him to become as skilled bounty hunter as his father-figure was before him. With all the weapon he has access to he was very skillful with the tutelage.

I do consider myself a big Star Wars fan and I learned something during this article. The way that Boba Fett died. Did you know that he did not die when he was was knocked into the mouth of the Sarlacc by Solo. He escaped due to his iron will and Mandalorian armor, he was able to fight his way out of the beast's belly, killing the Sarlacc.

Is the escape  news to you or did you know this already?

A is For...

I decided to participate in the A-Z Blog Post Challenge. So I must post a minimum of 26 times this month from A-Z.  The basic idea is that, from today (April 1st) and every day until the end of the month (excluding Sundays) a blog post must be made according to a different letter of the alphabet. So, today is day A, tomorrow is day B and so on. There are other bloggers that are going to blogging randomly, but not this droid. I am going with a theme for the entire challenge.

My theme will be Star Wars.


So I guess I am going to get on with the alphabet already.:) Today's posts will be  is  A for Anakin Skywalker.

Anakin was suppose to be the Chosen One for the Jedi Order. The prophecy of the Chosen One was an ancient Jedi legend that foretold the coming of a being who would restore balance to the Force. The Jedi Order thought that Anakin could  destroy the Sith, which was why the Jedi Council chose to bend the Jedi Code and permit his training.


He also was one to carry grudges and was vengeful, but he commonly held these two traits in check. He also hated being treated unjustly or being wrongly accused. He was fiercely loyal, doing anything to keep those he was close to from harm, at any cost.

With the attitude it did not sit well with the Jedi Order. His belief in them was shattered more and more as Skywalker's closest friend, Palpatine(the Emperor), swayed him from trusting them. Slowly, his bond with everyone except the Emperor.

In the end, I hope that this not spoiling anything for anyone. Anakin become Darth Vader the most powerful Sith the galaxy has ever known.

What are your thoughts of the events that took place of Anakin becoming Darth Vader?
