Homework Assignment

     We watched a movie called "Star Wars". Death Star is like a weapon that is use to destroy the planets. The Galactic Empire was attacking the Death Star at the beginning of the movie.
     Princess Leia was getting chased by Darth Vader around the galaxy because he was looking for the plans that Princess Leia tried to his. He accused Princess Leia as a traitor. Darth Vader tried to make Princess Leia tell the location of where she hid the plans. It was actually in the robot.
     Luke Skywalker was the leader in struggle against the Galactic Empire. He joined the Rebel Alliance and saved Princess Leia. He went to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and went to help Princess Leia out. Obi-Wan Kenobi gave Luke the light saber that his dad left behind. That's why he's an important character in the movie.

Book Selection Homework

     I chose a book called "A New Hope". I saw that the others looked interesting too but I decided to read this one instead. I picked this book because the cover of the book was interesting and it caught my eye. I wanted to read more about Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance. I read the back of the book and saw interesting facts so then I thought this might be a good book to read. When I read the book, it was more interesting than only reading the back.

Star Wars V Plot Summary

     The movie begins in a icy planet called Hoth. When Luke Spywalker was patrolling near the base, he told Han Solo that he was going to return late because a meteor had crashed. When he was looking around, he was attacked by a Wampa. Han Solo left the Rebellion to pay the debt to Jabba the Hutt. Han went to look for Luke because he did not return in the evening. Luke got trapped in a cave by the Wampa. He got his light saber and sliced the Wampa's arm off and he escaped.

     Luke Spywalker, Princess Leia, and Han Solo were important figures in the Rebel Alliance. Darth Vadar was on the dark side of the force. Darth Vadar is obsessed with looking for Luke. Han Solo was involved in the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire. George Lucas described Han Solo as a loner who realizes the importance of being part of a group and helping a common good.

     I think this was a great movie and story because it was about super natural. First, when I looked at the beginning, it didn't look interesting until it came to the part when he had to pull the saber out of the ice. It became more and more interesting. I liked the part when he was pulling the saber out of the ice. We found the goofs that were in the movie.

George Lucas Bio

     George Lucas is an American film producer that was born in Modesto, California on May 14, 1944. He was the son on Dorothy Lucas and George Lucas who was an owner to a stationery store.

When he attended Modesto Junior College, he studied anthropology. He started to like cinematography and camera tricks.

     When Lucas was a child, he never learned to swim. Not being able to swim made him like film making. When he fell in love with pure cinema, he was interested in camera work and editing.

Watching Star Wars Do No

     We watched Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. It was a snowy day. When Luke was hanging in the ice, he found a light saber stuck in the ice. When he tried to grab the light saber, the saber came to his hand. Luke attacked the monster with the saber and killed the monster. They were on a frozen planet. The people in orange were in a battle.
