i'm about halfway through reading a new hope..... and i'm loving it lots. i liked discovering how everything works together. i mean i was unsure of how R2 D2 and C 3PO ended up with luke and how he met leia (not Quite that far yet..... but getting there.... han solo and chewie and luke and obi wan (they call him ben now.....) just got to the death star after darth vader blew up alderaan.
background details!!! luke is from tatooine. he was raised by his step-uncle owen and aunt beru.
obi wan brought luke to tatooine and went into hiding there because darth vader was out trying to kill all the jedi for senator palpatine aka darth sidious, the sith leader.
leia was adopted by bail organa, and was raised as the princess of alderaan. she is also a senator, and was on a diplomatic trip when imperial troops took over the ship.
LUKE AND LEIA ARE TWINS. separated at birth, they are the only children of anakin skywalker and padme amidala. they have no clue that they are related. obi wan knows and yoda and a couple others, but otherwise not even anakin knows (he was darth vader when the duo was born).
C3PO and R2D2 are on this ship. bail organa took the two when padme died after the twins were born, and wiped C3PO's memory so that he wouldn't blow leia's cover. R2D2 seems to have avoided getting a memory wipe because he talks in beeps anyways....... but i'm not entirely sure.
han solo is some random pilot that obi wan picked up when he and luke have to leave to save leia.
chewbacca is a wookie. he's pretty cool..... he's pretty smart too.... and he roars. he's with han as a pilot.
i think that's all the background details...... i prolly will get some more.......
i really like the second half of the star wars series.... at least what i've read. it's much better because it doesn't have anakin (ok...... i should prolly remind everyone that anakin and darth vader are the same guy....... so he's still around, just a tad bit more likable... if less huggable and lovable. of course no one wants to hug a guy who'll use the force to strangle you....
i can't wait until i get to the planet with the ewoks..... they were absolutely adorable in the movie...... of course this was in return of the jedi......... so i have a few hundred pages yet. :D i have to finish this by thursday so i can take it back to the library. the library doesn't look to fondly upon those who fail to return items. at least they don't string people up by their ankles for not returning stuff on time.... that would have been a lot of blood to my head as a child................................ quite more than needed.
i also have to count some pages. blast those graphic novels that don't number their pages!!!!!! this shall take some time.... seeing as they have more than a hundred pages. but they are counting as books. i think this counts as a blooooooog theme of my choice. i'm catching everyone up on the main characters. er except darth vader...... but i caught up a little on him.....
