The Battle of Endor is supposed to represent Vietnam, and the Ewoks are supposed to be the Vietnaimese.
Great, just great.
The Ewoks employ booby traps, and jungle guerilla warfare to overcome the stormtroopers.
The movie showed one Ewok dead, maybe more.
That is the problem when you have a war movie made for kids. It does not show all the ugly stuff, which would make it more realistic.
Of course, a movie can't show everything, especially if the film makers want to make money. You don't want a bunch of kids crying like what happened with Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom when they showed 'human eyeball soup'....haha.
Now that many years have passed since 'Return of The Jedi', I think Ewoks can be shown like how they are supposed to be.
I'll have to do a comic book page or two to show what I am talking about.
One dinky little battle, the second Death Star is destroyed, everyone is happy. If only Vietnam ended so happily and easily.
I need more war in 'Star Wars'....otherwise, the whole thing is ridiculous.
You know what happens in real wars? Soldiers do drugs and they look for prostitutes, because they don't know if they will live another day. That is what war is.
They also set villages on fire if they can't tell who the enemy is.
One has to ask, "Does The Empire at times use chemical warfare?" The United States did it in Vietnam, so I don't see why The Empire wouldn't use some version of napalm.
Would the Rebellion or The Alliance use chemical warfare? They are supposed to be the good guys. But would they use chemicals against the enemy? They might, what do they care?

It was the night after the second Death Star had been destroyed.
Luke Skywalker had fallen into a deep sleep, after the long celebration, that had lasted long into the night.
He started dreaming...
"Leia, I have the hots for you, let's make out. Remember when you kissed me on the first Death Star? Remember all the times we had close moments, but Han was always in the way? Now we're alone, baby."
Suddenly, a voice came into his head, "Luke, this is Leia...I have the force, too, and I know you were dreaming about us. Just stop it. It's really creepy. Dream of something else."
Luke opened up his eyes, in the darkness of his room.
"Damn," he thought to himself. "I need to get me a girlfriend. This jedi thing of not having a girlfriend sucks. What am I supposed to do?"
So, Luke fell asleep, and thought of other things. This time, he did not dream.

Star Wars is fiction, just so you know. This little fact may come as a surprise to many people.
It is true, though.
The Star Wars Galaxy is all made up.
Hyperspace can be used to travel within the galaxy, but not outside it. There is no reason for this.
Supposedly, there are beacons located within hyperspace, which provide co-ordinates so ships can safely travel. Sometimes, there are accidents. A ship can fly into a planet, hit another ship, or fly right into a star.
The Empire wants order in the galaxy. There are two groups on the planet Earth who want order. Nazis, and Mormons. Both of these groups like order a lot.
The Empire does not like non-humans much. The Rebellion is more accepting of non-human types.
Star Wars does pretty well with white people, but not with others. Many foreigners are converted into aliens. Green-skinned tradesmen have Chinese accents and red robes. Jar Jar is kind of an island nation kind of being. Watto is Middle Eastern. The aliens who make the clones live on a water world, and behave like Japanese people.
Blacks are represented mostly by Lando Calrissian, the pimp, and Mace Windu, the behaved one.
Latinos and Hispanics aren't really represented at all, except the little guy who flew with Lando in The Millenium Falcon in 'Return of The Jedi'.
The basic language of the galaxy is English.
'The Battle of Endor' is supposed to mirror Vietnam.
George Lucas said that he based Emperor Palpatine loosely on Richard Nixon.
From one point of view, Star Wars is 'The Wizard of Oz In Space'.
Swear words are avoided at all costs, as is blood. Sex, or sex talk is also avoided.
Star Wars makes war look like fun, and that is not true.
There is indeed underwear in space, despite Lucas not wanting Leia to wear any. He wanted her to go bra-less.
The Empire is actually the legal government. So, from their point of view, the rebels are war mongerers. The rebels have a good reason, though, for The Empire is corrupt.
The Sith needs The Empire, which doesn't realize that they are a tool for The Sith.
Tattooine is kind of a white trash planet, and I don't know why they can't get more water there. You would think they would try and plant some trees, which would provide shade. Trees require a lot of water, I guess.
If there is hardly any water, do people on Tattooine bathe much? Doesn't look like it.
Slavery exists all over the galaxy. The rebels don't seem to do anything about it.
When the second Death Star was destroyed, The Empire still had control of over a thousand worlds, if not more. It took twenty years for the Alliance and The Empire to come to a truce.
In a Star Wars book, prostitutes were referred to as 'Glitter Girls'. Star Wars does not do too well with this subject.
Aliens are often presented as stupid, or like they are from Sesame Street.
There are a trillion sentient beings in The Star Wars Galaxy, and millions of habitable worlds.
Civilization began in The Core Worlds, and spread out.
The Force helped to discover Hyperspace. I read that.
Han Solo talks American.
People in The Empire speak British, as does Princess Leia when dealing with them...sometimes. Depends, I guess.
Twi'leks are an enslaved people. I will have to read up on that to figure out why.
Ryloth is a poor planet, in terms of The Galactic Economy is why, I learned. The Hutts enslaved them to work in their own mines.
All the information is on Wookieepedia.
There is prostitution in The Star Wars Galaxy, and apparently a lot of it, on many worlds. The subject is broached upon, but not into depth much.
So, basically, if you have enough galactic credits, you can get laid.
They have a small stub of an article on this subject on Wookieepedia.

So, I was ten years old, and I saw a commercial for 'Star Wars' at around 2:30 in the afternoon.
My jaw dropped, watching a droid get sucked up into a jawa land transport.
I was really excited. I wanted to see this movie.
Then my brothers saw the commercial, and we all wanted to see this movie.
We got to see it, with my father talking to management to get us into a crowded theater.
We saw it, and it was great.
A week or two went by, and we saw it again. And again.
After three or four times, that was enough.
Eventually, the version with new titles proclaiming it to be 'Episode IV' came out. We had to see it again, because, then we could think about how there were going to be nine movies, as we read in the movie magazines.
'Empire' came out, and we watched that again and again. I did not know if Darth Vader was bullsh***ing Luke. An evil person would lie. Then, I was really uncomfortable with the ending.
'Return' came out, and I was excited to see it based on the commercials. It looked awesome, and better than anything I had ever seen.
Then halfway through the movie, I began to be disappointed somehow, what with teddy bears. It just wasn't as good as 'Empire'.
So, after several viewings of 'Return'...I was done with Star Wars, considering that I had outgrown it.
I got into Dungeons & Dragons. Star Wars came out with their version, and I would have bought the book if I had the money.
Then it was the ten year anniversary of Episode IV, and I didn't care all that much. I would rather have had another movie. I did not know what they were waiting for. Lucas had the whole world hanging, instead providing us with f***ing 'Howard The Duck' and f***ing 'Willow'.
Dark Horse was making Star Wars comic books. I had collected the Marvel comics of Star Wars, but they were pretty bad. By then, I was kind of done with comic books, too.
Then there were the limited edition releases of Star Wars in the theaters with some new digital stuff added, which were cool to see, but they really didn't expand my idea of The Star Wars Universe much. I wanted to learne, but there was not much content out there.
And Episode I came out, and the excitement level was very high, and within five minutes, people deflated like a balloon losing air. You could feel this in the theater. We all knew that the whole rest of the movie was going to be pretty bad.
'The Matrix' was a much cooler movie.
Episode II came out, and hopes were higher, and it was a better movie.
Episode III was pretty dark, and pretty much a joyless affair.
Now I listen to Star Wars audiobooks on youtube, and I am pretty happy.
I can't depend on Lucas to make a good Star Wars movie. Somebody else has to do it.
* * * * *
Some black guy said, "IT'S STAR WARS BIG!"
I love the phrase, because no matter what stupid hit song comes out or movie, it is not going to be as big as Star Wars.
What other franchise is there where the original actors can come back to reprise their roles thirty-two years later?
Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford will be in Episode VII.

So, why would anyone join The Empire? Steady work, employment, and a paycheck. Plus, you get to work for the winning side. Opportunities for advancement. Cool uniforms. Make your family proud.
I suppose it is why someone would join the U.S. military, especially if you come from a poverty-ridden family.
Plus, the appeal of kinky sex with female Imp agents would be attractive.
Scheduled vacations and shore leaves would also be appealing.
Visiting other planets, and seeing the galaxy would be interesting for those with no opportunity to do so otherwise.
Plus, The Empire was the official government of the galaxy.
If you saw life in terms of Black and White, yes or no...The Empire would indeed be the obvious choice. If you saw things in terms of right and wrong, well, The Empire had to be right. The best always come out on top, right?
Yet, among many in the galaxy, The Empire was hated and feared.
Most people in the galaxy were aware of an Imperial presence. There were always Imp posters and propaganda everywhere. To remove them was illegal.
To deface Imp posters was even worse. Taggers were seldom caught, though. Younglings would often draw mustaches on pictures of stormies or officers.
It was a rite of passage among the young to deface at least one imp poster.
The penalty for doing it while you were young was not as bad as when you were an adult. Then it was serious.

How long ago is 'A long time ago...?'
'Far, far away....' is a given.
For me, a long time ago would be 100 B.C., or 10,000 B.C.
So, when did the events in Episodes 1-6 happen in correlation to us? Or is it all false, and it is all actually in the future?
So, humans that look just like us developed in another galaxy? Or do we migrate to another galaxy?

I've been confused by the year system in Star Wars.
I finally got it.
'BBY' refers to 'Before Battle of Yavin'.
'ABY' refers to 'After Battle of Yavin'.
This makes the destruction of the first Death Star the prime event in The Star Wars Universe.
In our Earth time, it is 'The Birth of Christ', which is also possibly fictional.
Anyway, this before and after way of keeping time is confusing.
I think the Chinese have their calender well into the 5000's.
Then, the events of 'The Old Republic' take place 3000 years before BBY 0. Or is it 30,000 years? I get confused.
So, is BBY 0 the year 1977 in our years? Star Wars was supposed to happen a long time ago. So how long ago? I haven't found this out yet. It seems important.
Also, where is this Star Wars galaxy located?
We know Gilligan's Island is supposed to be somewhere in The South Pacific Ocean. So I see no reason why a group of astronomers, or even Lucas himself, can't pick a galaxy where the events of Star Wars takes place.
We'll never be able to get there in ten generations anyhow, so what does it matter?
Also, who discovered hyperspace? Who was the first jedi? Who got into space first?

She has a nice rack, too, but maybe she's wearing a padded bra, even though George Lucas said, "There are no bras in space".
That was all a ploy to get Carrie Fisher not to wear a bra in Episode IV.
It worked out. Star Wars made a lot of money probably because in part there was a running, bouncing princess all in white.
I know all this made my father appreciate Star Wars more when we first saw it.
Anyway, I'm listening to 'The Thrall Trilogy' audiobooks on youtube. They are pretty good. There is a voice actor who sounds like Ricardo Montalban.
One would think that they would find a female to do the voices of Leia and Mon Mothma, so that they don't sound like transvestites.
So Han and Leia ended up having sex to produce their children. Someone needs to make some porn of that.
Watching Han Solo and Leia do it would be pretty funny.

Slavery seems more than quite acceptable in The Star Wars Universe. No one is surprised or alarmed at this.
Even Quai-Gonn claimed ownership of Jar Jar for a life debt.
Sure, it is all for fun, and it is all made-up, but the connection to us here on The Planet Earth is that human trafficking still continues.
I am disturbed by this, as I am sure others are.
What anybody can do about it is questionable. Not even governments seem able to snuff this problem.
It looks like human slavery on Earth will not end anytime soon, unfortunately.
In Star Wars, though, slavery is just a part of life, like breathing air.
The thing that Star Wars never addresses is what actually happens with female slaves. Certainly they function as consorts, and provide warmth on a cold night. Not complying would mean death, I would assume.
Annakin was a slave, but he didn't seem to have it that tough, even though he was bitter about it for the rest of his life.
While I'm thinking about it, "Who was Annakin's father?" I'm confused about it. Who impregnated Schmee is what I want to know. Was it a virgin birth? That is ridiculous. Sperm has to hit an egg at some point.
I'm also curious what happened with Leia while she was a slave. Did Jabba have that little stupid laughing Kaworkian monkey molest her? Who knows. It is all conjecture.

So, the whole point of Jar Jar Binks is he was the one who accidentally discovered Annakin, The Chosen One.
Great.
Quai-gon, one of my favorite jedi claimed a life debt on Jar Jar.
Another thought is, "When did Luke Skywalker lose his virginity?" He may have lost it on Tattooine, but he always seemed to young and eager, and not like the kind of person who had laid down some pipe. Plus, he was always farming, or dusting crops, shooting womp rats for fun.
Yeah, Luke wasn't thinking about pussy, or getting laid much.
One other thing is that dang space worm that the Millenium Falcon lands inside while escaping TIE Fighters.
How did the worm survive in the vacuum of space? Also, what did the worm eat? The asteroid? What happens when the worm eats most of the asteroid? Does the worm have to jump onto another asteroid?
It's basically the Star Wars version of 'Jonah and The Whale', from The Bible.
Another thing is this whole Annakin/Darth Vader thing as the chosen one. It kind of gets tiring, especially when Paul Atreides was the chosen one in 'Dune'.
Is nothing original in Star Wars? I don't know. Lightsabers are original, but the jedi knights seem to come from The Knights Templar, who used to be employed by The Catholic Church.
I've come to the conclusion that all historical and literary events in Star Wars can be synthesized into The Star Wars Universe.
Meanwhile, I'm starting to investigate selling items online. It is a thing I should have and could have done long ago. I wasn't ready for it, though, nor very much inclined. I would try and get interested in ebay in the past, but I would always get burned out on it really fast. Plus, I know nothing about taxes, or running a business. I normally just do 'under the table' art sales, and that works out fine with me.
Anyhow, I'm listening to 'The Phantom Menace' audiobook. The movie presented such a confused story that I found it hard to follow all the seemingly useless details about Separitists and The Trade Federation, and all that garbage.
Meanwhile, some guy tipped me five bucks at the cafe for my art. That was cool.
Final Thoughts For Right Now: The first time I got burnt out on Star Wars was halfway through 'Return of The Jedi' with all the Ewoks and the accumulation of all this Sesame Street stuff. No one seemed in danger anymore. They were going to destroy the second Death Star, no big deal. Star Wars had turned into a kiddie fest.
To cut to the chase, it would be good if Quentin Tarentino could make a Star Wars film, and just turn things upside down, and just make a film more for adults. F*** the kids, make an R rated Star Wars film.
Oh yeah, I forgot...it bothers me that Annakin built C-3PO. That just seems like a lame way to introduce Threepio into the story. I don't like it. I just want to rewrite it.
One final last thing...some kid on The Old Republic game said, "This game would suck if not for the sith!"
People are never happy. If you give them $100, they want $105.
SWTOR is 'free to play', and people want something for nothing, and then they complain.
Let's see them do something besides playing online games all day, with their only accomplishment in life being a level 100 character. Geez.
Great.

'Star Wars: The Rise of Darth Vader' audiobook in five parts on youtube...is really good, and worth listening to.
It is so good, I am going to listen to it again.
It has what everybody wants, but were not shown in the movies....Darth Vader kicking ass on the battlefield with Stormies at his side.
There is some of that in the video game 'Star Wars Battlefronts II', but to have the audiobook and the story available is awesome.
I don't know how the author could write such a thing...I guess it was a lot of research about what the possibilities could be.
There is an attack on the Wookiee home world of Kysshhyk, and Chewbacca is a featured character.
Chewy has no love for the Empire, I will tell you that.
Anyway, there's that, and while all this is going on, I am playing 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' which continues to blow my mind.
I have a brother who tried it, but for some reason he wasn't as thrilled about it. I'll have to ask him why. Maybe he didn't give the game enough of a chance, or maybe he was busy.
I like to camp a spot while I write, and I just stand there until my character gets attacked, and then I kill my enemy, and keep writing.
Meanwhile, I started watching ebay videos. I have no experience with ebay whatsoever. I know nothing about it.
The idea of doing ebay has been gnawing at me for a long time. I would like to sell my paintings, possibly for outrageous prices. That would be fun.
I shudder about doing taxes, but I think you have sell two-hundred items before you have to worry about it too much.
In Star Wars terms, which is all anybody cares about, well, in online games, you can sell items...and ebay is the real world equivalent of that, if you need to make everything into a fantasy, like I do, just to make it through the day.
The thing I am worried about is I don't want some bastard to buy my art for cheap, and then turn a profit on ebay. If anybody is going to sell my art on ebay, I want it to be me.
I heard that this happened to an artist, so I want to be ready for that.
Then there is the other thing, "Do I really want to spend all day shipping crap out to people just so I can make a couple bucks?" It hardly seems worth it, unless there is a good chunk of profit involved.
Anyway, again in Star Wars terms, I'm trying to get some mercenary xp.
Another question that I've been thinking about in last day is, "What is more plausible? Star Trek or Star Wars?"
I don't know...there are ridiculous things that happen in each that make it virtually impossible to ever happen.
Just as an aside, people in online games always ask me, "Dude! Why do you level up so slow?"
I don't know why it matters to them, to be honest, what I do, but the answer is that I am reading, drawing, and writing while playing, so I'm not going to level as fast as these hardcore players who devote every waking moment to these games.
Even in the film 'Alien', the biggest problem with space science fiction is, "How in hell do you get ships to travel such vast distances and what about time dilation? You don't want to be traveling for a year at the speed of light, and then come home, and have your family be dead for two-hundred years while you were away."
It's a problem.
That means that hyperspace is not just accelerated spacetime. It has to be another dimension, where the physics of time and space are different.
If outer space is a city, hyperspace would have to be a 'subway system'.
Also, how can you answer a distress call if it takes you twenty years to get there?

Twenty years ago, no one had discovered what is now called an exo-planet, which is a planet outside of our solar system.
Meanwhile, I learned yesterday that they did indeed discover frozen water on the moon located in its' deepest craters.
What this means with the water is that the moon can be a refueling base someday. Fantastic, huh?
In addition, they are estimating that there are a million exo-planets in our galaxy alone, and now they are saying that most stars in the sky have planets around them.
So, let's say that out of a million planets, only a thousand have conditions for life, only a hundred of those have life, and only ten of those have civilizations.
That's all we need to get The Star Wars Universe going.
The problem after that is hyperspace travel.
In other words, how do we travel from planet to planet?
As Luke Skywalker would say, "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!"
Another thing is, "Why do we need to go to other planets?"
Until we figure out how to clear up traffic jams, freeways, feed and clothe people, and get everybody on the planet Earth some housing, we don't need to concern ourselves too much to traveling to other star systems.
We must improve things here on Earth because it is going to be a long time before we achieve light speed, and even that is way to slow to get anywhere in this Universe.
We need stargates, or somekind of interdimensional transport system....or the ability to 'jump' like in Battlestar Galactica. Otherwise, forget it.
The next hundred years on Earth should focus on improving conditions, then we can worry about space travel.
By that time, there will be people living on Mars most likely.
The Earth, though, is all we've got, so we've got to take care of it.
Watch out, for The Earth really doesn't need us. To the Earth, we are like fleas on a dog.
Humans think they are really important, and I'm starting to think that we are not as important as we think we are.
Women send text messages that they just had their fingernails done, and men look at porn.
Wow, just great, great.
One other thing about Star Wars that I would like to mention is that there is always war somewhere, just like here on Earth.
It's always good to know, too, that a good stripper can make a decent living in the Star Wars Universe.

I had a moment of clarity in thinking of what to paint on the back of this canvas...
So I painted this...
I think it turned out pretty good.
I was actually really lazy, and didn't want to paint something too complicated that would take away from the painting on the front.
I needed something simple, and just painting the logo from memory seemed appropriate.
I was even too lazy to look through my drawings to find a collaged copy of the logo and properly copy it, haha.
Sometimes laziness produces good results.
By the way, it is a well-known fact that Imperials don't like art, so if you don't like art, you might be an Imp. Sorry, but it is true.
Princess Leia studied art as a teen in order to rebel. It says so on the Leia wookieepedia entry. You look it up, I'm not your 'research slave'.
Anyway, here is how my 'Return of The Jedi' era painting of Leia is coming along. She looks a little bit disturbed in this photo, haha.
So,eone mentioned that Carrie Fisher is bi-polar, so maybe I am not too far from the mark...
The painting on the right is of an old friend, so that is another story.
Thanks for reading. :P

In reading about The Galactic Empire yesterday on Wookieepedia, it said The Empire employed Wookiees to help build The Death Star, preferring organic forms for building instead of droids.
This is why Wookiees have no love for The Empire, as they were enslaved by them.
Meanwhile, someone jokingly said on youtube that the destruction of Death Star 1 was an 'inside job'.
So, I put two and two together, and with Wookies rigging a chain reaction device through the exhaust port that Luke shoots photon torpedoes into, thus we have a more reasonable explanation of how the first Death Star blew up.
As Empire slave-masters would not be likely to learn the subtleties of the Wookiee language, the Wookiees could therefore secretly construct a way for the Death Star to be blown up.
The article also mentioned that Wookiees were a 'force-sensitive' species. To back this up, in 'Clone Wars' a a young Wookiee began training to be a jedi.
So there you have it.
I also learned that George Lucas kind of based The Emperor off of Richard Nixon, but that is a different story for another day.
Also, one more thing,...if you ever thought the Ewok battle of Endor was similar or suggested The Vietnam War, you were right. George Lucas admitted that, too, in addition to using some Russian army pictures as reference in Return of The Jedi when The Emperor arrives.
So, Star Wars exists kind of in a mirror universe of our own, as opposed to a galaxy far, far away. That line is a lie. Just a method of storytelling. Because how in hell could it be in a galaxy far awy, when the events in Star Wars mirrors our own? See? Geez.
Okay, get me outta here, I'm done.

A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Well, how long ago? 100 years? 1000 years?
All galaxies are so far away from us, that we can't get to them. Hell, we've only sent one thing out of our solar system.
So, it is a far away galaxy. Okay. Got it.
One has to consider the age of The Universe. Last time I checked, it is over 13 billion years old.
So, our Earth is 4 and a half billion years old, or 5, and in that time, we relatively just made it to The Moon.
We are no where near achieving hyperspace, unless it is in a video game.
So, considering the age of The Universe, is that enough time for a Galactic Empire to form controlling a million planets with life forms on it? Hmmmm, that's a thinker. It could happen, I guess.
So, let's consider that all the events of Star Wars have already happened in a galaxy far, far away, and then somehow the information traveled to our Earth somehow, and got into George Lucas' head.
Hmmm, it is either that, or Star Wars is happening now in an Alternate Universe.
There are no sound effects in space, though, that is just there for dramatic effect.
Also, ships have to have thrusters on the side if they want to be making sharper turns.
If the physics of Star Wars aren't possible, like a worm living inside an asteroid in the vacuum of space, then Star Wars just becomes a fantasy, and not real at all.
Many things in Star Wars have happened in Earth's history. Let's face it, The Empire is 'Nazis in Space' basically.
They are absolute, and tyrannical.
Could Sith exist? Sure why not? There is always a balance of good and evil no matter what.
Anyway, I've been thinking that 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away' is just a story-telling technique, and that everything in Star Wars is in an actual alternative universe, where the laws of physics could be slightly different than our own.
Every science fiction depicts the day and age in which it was made. Star Wars is no exception.
Meanwhile, I'm starting to figure out that with a million worlds and billions of living things and creatures in the Star Wars universe, that there are many more stories to tell.
There are still millions of species in The Star Wars Universe that have never been shown before.
In just thinking about the numbers, The Rebellion in Episodes IV, V, and VI was really small. They hardly had anybody.
A large high school has more people in it than what The Rebellion had. How could they ever stand up to The Empire? I don't know.
Seems like a lost cause.
And how could so many jedi be tricked into being slaughtered in a coliseum in Episode II? Again, another mystery. I thought jedi used the force.
There are many loopholes in Star Wars, so my job is to help point them out, haha.
It also seems that a regular bullet from a gun can pierce stormtrooper armor easier than a laser. Hmmm, maybe each stormtrooper has a magnetic invisible shield around them, who knows?
Also, The Empire itself would have to be tremendous if they finally got to the point where they even needed a Death Star in order to keep control.
Another question is..."Can The Death Star travel through hyperspace?" It would have to, otherwise it would take millions of years to travel across the galaxy in order to exert its power and create fear.
Yet another question is that military men have to get laid once in a while, or else they go crazy. Where do Stormtroopers go for Rest and Relaxation? This is never mentioned, so I thought I would bring it up.
There are female stormtroopers, that much is known, but not enough to go around.
Maybe there are 'pleasure worlds' that people go to. Maybe there are 'pleasure androids'...who knows?
I think these things would be mentioned if 'Star Wars' was more for adults.
'Right Now in a Galaxy Right Here' describes what is actually happening.

'Right Now in a Galaxy Right Here' describes what is actually happening.
There is a lot of material on youtube concerning this. I was surprised to discover so much. It is a cult hit.
Granted, the costume is pretty sexy, because it shows the side of the buttocks, all the way down the thigh.
The question is whether or not Leia had to perform any unnatural intra-species acts. There is debate about this.
Human history is filled with examples of slave girls. It's in The Bible if you don't believe me.
There is human trafficking going on today, which is quite alarming, and should be to any civilized person.
Even recently, girls were taken from their school in Africa. It is atrocious.
Being chained up, I wonder what Leia does when she has to use the restroom. Maybe they just give her a bucket, and she has to go right in front of everyone.
Every film director wants to get their female lead into a bikini or less. Why else be a film director if not for that?

So, if you type into youtube 'Star Wars Episode IV Radio Drama', you will find a six hour program. It is really great.
Here is the link, if it works...
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=audiobook
Hmmm. Been having trouble posting the link, but the audiobook link will get you in the ball park.
Anyway, I've been thinking that with the billion and more galaxies in the universe, that one of them could support a 'Star Wars-Styled Galaxy'. It is certainly possible, I have decided, as many planets that could support life have been discovered by The Hubble telescope. ( Thank god we have that thing. )
The thing I have a problem with Star Wars, though, is "Could it really be feasible that it is in the past? "
Could it really be possible that standard humans could develop that look like us?
In 'Dune', all people come from The Earth, and they call it 'Terra'.
That kind of makes more sense.
'Dune' is set 100,000 years into the future, I think, if I am not mistaken.
Also, 'The Old Republic' is set in a time 30,000 years before Episode 1, and they had Imperials, Sith, Separatists, droids, and all that, just like in Star Wars.
Hmmm. Hard to wrap my head around it.
Meanwhile, it is hard for me to accept 'The Star Trek Universe' as being feasible. I think it will take humans a lot longer before they achieve the ability to travel to other worlds.
Also, nothing can travel faster than light, so that is a problem for adventures on other worlds.
Stargates like in 'Babylon 5' as 'short-cuts through space' seem like a good way to travel through space, as does the 'folding of space' in 'Dune', or even 'making jumps' like in 'Battlestar Galactica'.
'Hyperspace Travel'....hmmm...maybe if the ship entered another dimension, and then came out at an appropriate spot....hmmmm. Maybe. I don't know how time would be affected. Maybe time doesn't exist in hyperspace, which would be convenient.
Also, would laser beams work in space? Don't know.
In addition, when Han Solo flies into that space worm on an asteroid in 'Empire Strikes Back', I don't know how that worm would survive there. What does it eat? How did it get there? Nothing organic can live in the vacuum of space. Except for the creature from 'Alien', but even he would eventually die.
I read a recent thing that said, 'The Roman Empire Never Died'. It merely switched its power from military to religious.
So, a Galactic Empire could certainly exist for a long time.
Also, just because The Death Star is destroyed twice, with both the Emporer dying, followed by Darth Vader...well, is that enough to take down a Galactic Empire? They have enough military to rule over a million worlds. Surely, The Empire has other leaders that can step in.
Sure they lost a lot of ships over Endor, but I think The Empire would survive, as it has survived at least 30,000 years.
I will have to research all of this on the Star Wars wiki, aptly named 'wookiepedia'.
Research takes time, you know, but it is the key to good writing.
Anyhow.....I have been pleased with how 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' online is more for adults. I was first tired of Star Wars, as a lot of people were, when Ewoks were introduced.
They do have strippers in this online game, but no nudity. Also, I have not found the 'profanity' filter, and I don't know if there is one, like in other games.
Cool, someone told me where the profanity filter was, so I was able to turn it off, thank ducking god. I hate profanity filters, or any editing that involves chat.
The other thing in 'Star Wars' is that sex isn't addressed much. How do you think the galaxy got populated? It is because people bonk each other, and are sexually attracted to each other, just like in real life.
So, yeah, Star Wars is for kids, or it was for a while, but the adults need to reclaim it, and make it theirs.
Just so you know, there are a couple of videos on redtube where you can type in 'Princess Leia' and find a couple of videos. There is nothing better than a girl dressed in any kind of Princess Leia outfit. It is every decent man's fantasy.
Who knew that Carrie Fisher would be such a long-lasting sex symbol? It just goes to show what not wearing a bra in space and lip gloss will do. Also, the buns, hehe.
Meanwhile, I don't have a problem with the basic events that occur during Episodes I, II, and III...it is just that they were told badly.
It is like you write a paper for class, and your teacher hands it back, and tells you to work on it some more, because you are onto something.
Darth Maul is a wonderful character, and as good as he is, Jar Jar goes in the other direction. What happened?
For Greedo, all you needed was a woman with a green mask on, and you get a great alien. With this cgi Jar Jar, all you get is a bunch of bantha crap, and it sucks.
'Star Wars' was originally marketed as 'The Adventures of Luke Skywalker', and that was acceptable to everyone, even though it kind of became more about Han Solo.
The story of Annakin Skywalker...let's face it, you just need one movie for that.
Episode I could have been about the origin of the Universe, and of the 'Star Wars Galaxy', and it could have explained a lot of things, like how 'The Force' began, how millions of worlds became populated, and how 'The Empire' was formed....let's try this, to see how it sounds...STAR WARS: THE BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE.....wow, now you have a movie.
For Episode II: STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC
Episode III: REVENGE OF THE SITH is good. All the stuff about 'The Clone Wars' could be mentioned, and no one would ever have to deal with that crappy, fake romance between Amidala and Annakin ever again...which sucks for all who watch it, because it is as phony as cgi.
'Star Wars' is, by the way, ultimately about WAR, and that is not a pretty subject. People get killed, legally, just like in real life.
In Episode IV, when Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru get killed, presumably by a stormtrooper with a flame thrower when you think about it...what else would give charred skeletal remains? ...uh...you knew it was war, and you knew it was serious, and that The Empire was evil, and meant business. Killing people was just standard practice.
A hard thing to suffer through in Episode I is Annakin's period of time as a slave...ooh, he worked in a shop with a flying blue Middle Eastern guy, and he got to play with other kids. What a punishment. It didn't look like he had it that tough. Also, he was done with it by age 11.
In Episode VI, in Jabba's palace with that dancing blue girl, there is actually one frame where you can see her aeriola, how do you spell that? Her nipple, basically.
'Star Wars' could use some more nudity as far as I am concercened. What is villainous scum without nudity around? It goes hand in hand. Sex is why most evil people go into the biz, duh. Just look at the dudes who are in and operate the porn business. They look like villainous scum to me.
'The Sarlaac Pit' if you haven't figured it out by now, is a 'vagina monster with teeth'. It makes you think about Episode VI a little differently.
Jabba's head looks like a dick head for Christ's sake if you look.
George has been critiqued in the past for making many aliens look like women's private parts...haha.
Let's see, anything else I want to mention about 'Star Wars' right now, besides they don't show any blood or injuries hardly? Hmmm....
In the Star Wars radio drama I mentioned, it actually says that Luke was interested in joining The Empire as a pilot, like Biggs did, who later found The Rebellion, and joined that. This is the thing that prompts Luke to join The Rebellion. Only when his aunt and uncle get killed does he truly hate The Empire. That makes sense, because then it was personal.
Luke was kept naive all the time growing up. He never learned too much about what was going on in the galaxy, being busy working the moisture farm. His information seemed to come from his friends.
Playing 'Star Wars Galaxies', I learned that the city of Bestine was the Imperial Capitol on that world. Now that I play 'The Old Republic' that game left a lot to be desired.
I remember going to Kyssshhkk for the first time, The wookiee home world, and it was 'quite disappointing'.
'The Old Republic seems to be 100 times better than SWG. It is free to play, by the way. I hope to get a subscription to it some day.
What is nice about TOR is that the missions are catered to the class you play. It makes more sense than in SWG, where everybody just does the same missions.
One other thing about Star Wars is this 'Rule of Two' business with the Sith. It seems ridiculous.
Another thing is this 'medichlorins' crap that Annakin supposedly has more of...I don't know. You would think that instead of not permitting Jedi to marry that you would instead have an intense breeding program to mate jedi with with female jedi to produce a lot of jedi to take over The Empire.
I guess that is enough for now.
Here is the link, if it works...

Hmmm. Been having trouble posting the link, but the audiobook link will get you in the ball park.
Anyway, I've been thinking that with the billion and more galaxies in the universe, that one of them could support a 'Star Wars-Styled Galaxy'. It is certainly possible, I have decided, as many planets that could support life have been discovered by The Hubble telescope. ( Thank god we have that thing. )
The thing I have a problem with Star Wars, though, is "Could it really be feasible that it is in the past? "
Could it really be possible that standard humans could develop that look like us?
In 'Dune', all people come from The Earth, and they call it 'Terra'.
That kind of makes more sense.
'Dune' is set 100,000 years into the future, I think, if I am not mistaken.
Also, 'The Old Republic' is set in a time 30,000 years before Episode 1, and they had Imperials, Sith, Separatists, droids, and all that, just like in Star Wars.
Hmmm. Hard to wrap my head around it.
Meanwhile, it is hard for me to accept 'The Star Trek Universe' as being feasible. I think it will take humans a lot longer before they achieve the ability to travel to other worlds.
Also, nothing can travel faster than light, so that is a problem for adventures on other worlds.
Stargates like in 'Babylon 5' as 'short-cuts through space' seem like a good way to travel through space, as does the 'folding of space' in 'Dune', or even 'making jumps' like in 'Battlestar Galactica'.
'Hyperspace Travel'....hmmm...maybe if the ship entered another dimension, and then came out at an appropriate spot....hmmmm. Maybe. I don't know how time would be affected. Maybe time doesn't exist in hyperspace, which would be convenient.
Also, would laser beams work in space? Don't know.
In addition, when Han Solo flies into that space worm on an asteroid in 'Empire Strikes Back', I don't know how that worm would survive there. What does it eat? How did it get there? Nothing organic can live in the vacuum of space. Except for the creature from 'Alien', but even he would eventually die.
I read a recent thing that said, 'The Roman Empire Never Died'. It merely switched its power from military to religious.
So, a Galactic Empire could certainly exist for a long time.
Also, just because The Death Star is destroyed twice, with both the Emporer dying, followed by Darth Vader...well, is that enough to take down a Galactic Empire? They have enough military to rule over a million worlds. Surely, The Empire has other leaders that can step in.
Sure they lost a lot of ships over Endor, but I think The Empire would survive, as it has survived at least 30,000 years.
I will have to research all of this on the Star Wars wiki, aptly named 'wookiepedia'.
Research takes time, you know, but it is the key to good writing.
Anyhow.....I have been pleased with how 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' online is more for adults. I was first tired of Star Wars, as a lot of people were, when Ewoks were introduced.
They do have strippers in this online game, but no nudity. Also, I have not found the 'profanity' filter, and I don't know if there is one, like in other games.
Cool, someone told me where the profanity filter was, so I was able to turn it off, thank ducking god. I hate profanity filters, or any editing that involves chat.
The other thing in 'Star Wars' is that sex isn't addressed much. How do you think the galaxy got populated? It is because people bonk each other, and are sexually attracted to each other, just like in real life.
So, yeah, Star Wars is for kids, or it was for a while, but the adults need to reclaim it, and make it theirs.
Just so you know, there are a couple of videos on redtube where you can type in 'Princess Leia' and find a couple of videos. There is nothing better than a girl dressed in any kind of Princess Leia outfit. It is every decent man's fantasy.
Who knew that Carrie Fisher would be such a long-lasting sex symbol? It just goes to show what not wearing a bra in space and lip gloss will do. Also, the buns, hehe.
Meanwhile, I don't have a problem with the basic events that occur during Episodes I, II, and III...it is just that they were told badly.
It is like you write a paper for class, and your teacher hands it back, and tells you to work on it some more, because you are onto something.
Darth Maul is a wonderful character, and as good as he is, Jar Jar goes in the other direction. What happened?
For Greedo, all you needed was a woman with a green mask on, and you get a great alien. With this cgi Jar Jar, all you get is a bunch of bantha crap, and it sucks.
'Star Wars' was originally marketed as 'The Adventures of Luke Skywalker', and that was acceptable to everyone, even though it kind of became more about Han Solo.
The story of Annakin Skywalker...let's face it, you just need one movie for that.
Episode I could have been about the origin of the Universe, and of the 'Star Wars Galaxy', and it could have explained a lot of things, like how 'The Force' began, how millions of worlds became populated, and how 'The Empire' was formed....let's try this, to see how it sounds...STAR WARS: THE BIRTH OF THE EMPIRE.....wow, now you have a movie.
For Episode II: STAR WARS: THE OLD REPUBLIC
Episode III: REVENGE OF THE SITH is good. All the stuff about 'The Clone Wars' could be mentioned, and no one would ever have to deal with that crappy, fake romance between Amidala and Annakin ever again...which sucks for all who watch it, because it is as phony as cgi.
'Star Wars' is, by the way, ultimately about WAR, and that is not a pretty subject. People get killed, legally, just like in real life.
In Episode IV, when Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru get killed, presumably by a stormtrooper with a flame thrower when you think about it...what else would give charred skeletal remains? ...uh...you knew it was war, and you knew it was serious, and that The Empire was evil, and meant business. Killing people was just standard practice.
A hard thing to suffer through in Episode I is Annakin's period of time as a slave...ooh, he worked in a shop with a flying blue Middle Eastern guy, and he got to play with other kids. What a punishment. It didn't look like he had it that tough. Also, he was done with it by age 11.
In Episode VI, in Jabba's palace with that dancing blue girl, there is actually one frame where you can see her aeriola, how do you spell that? Her nipple, basically.
'Star Wars' could use some more nudity as far as I am concercened. What is villainous scum without nudity around? It goes hand in hand. Sex is why most evil people go into the biz, duh. Just look at the dudes who are in and operate the porn business. They look like villainous scum to me.
'The Sarlaac Pit' if you haven't figured it out by now, is a 'vagina monster with teeth'. It makes you think about Episode VI a little differently.
Jabba's head looks like a dick head for Christ's sake if you look.
George has been critiqued in the past for making many aliens look like women's private parts...haha.
Let's see, anything else I want to mention about 'Star Wars' right now, besides they don't show any blood or injuries hardly? Hmmm....
In the Star Wars radio drama I mentioned, it actually says that Luke was interested in joining The Empire as a pilot, like Biggs did, who later found The Rebellion, and joined that. This is the thing that prompts Luke to join The Rebellion. Only when his aunt and uncle get killed does he truly hate The Empire. That makes sense, because then it was personal.
Luke was kept naive all the time growing up. He never learned too much about what was going on in the galaxy, being busy working the moisture farm. His information seemed to come from his friends.
Playing 'Star Wars Galaxies', I learned that the city of Bestine was the Imperial Capitol on that world. Now that I play 'The Old Republic' that game left a lot to be desired.
I remember going to Kyssshhkk for the first time, The wookiee home world, and it was 'quite disappointing'.

I guess that is enough for now.

I got onto 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' online recently, and it is fantastic. I am having the time of my life.
What I got to do is increase my income so I can become a subscriber, haha.
Anyway, I'm playing as my Sith Inquisitor 'Bunnybear'. She's a good lass. She has an English accent.
I'm sure she knows her way around the bedroom.
She is a Sith, so one would expect her to be sexually active. She is not naive.
'Star Wars' as a rule of thumb doesn't hardly ever mention sex stuff of any kind, but you have to think, "Well, how in hell did the galaxy get populated? It is because everybody is bonking."
One thing I am curious about is with stormtroopers. Certainly, they must have recreation and release at some point when they are on R & R.
That is just standard with soldiers.
In online games, things like going to the bathroom and changing your underwear are assumed.
That means that these things happen in 'game time' but are not part of the game.
In 'Sims', your character uses the toilet.
Someday, in these online games, they will have to put in a 'super mature' setting, haha, because I would really like to see my female Sith take a shower.
Anyways...on my 'Magic The Gathering Chronicles' blog, some kid sent me all these scriptures in some kind of crazy post.
People are whacked out of their minds.
I forgive them, because they don't know any better.
Besides, all I am trying to do is to be a Sith, and I don't have time for this s***.
You know what? It is an insult to try and be a writer, and not be able to swear on these blogs. Wtf? I should be able to write anything I want. What is this, church? If people don't want to read it, they won't. I mean, people don't read my crap anyway, so why does it even matter if I use profanity? People are busy playing online games, not reading my blogs, for Christ's sake.
When writing programs get really advanced, it will not only show misspelled words, but syntax and grammar errors.
I'm thinking maybe it should be standard that the chat in all online games...that the first word of every sentence should be capitalized. It's supposed to be that way anyhow, so they should make it standard.
I'm fatigued with the entire online gaming community thinking they are e.e. cummings.
Anyhow, my lunch was good, but I'm still hungry. Or maybe I just want a nap.

That is why she is bouncing and jiggling around in every scene in her white dress, which probably helped viewers to go back and see the movie again without exactly knowing why.
I would have been more than happy if Lando had died.
