Han Solo, Landon and Chewbecca

I've finally come to the end of the story. It was a great journey. But Han has been frozen and packed away to be sent to Jabba the Hutt by a bounty hunter. Landon now has changed sides and is helping Chewbecca to rescue Han.

So now Luke can read minds? He can sense that Leia has feelings for Han and she misses him. He can't forget the moment he first saw her in the hologram. So he is still in love with her and doesn't know she is his twin sister? Ewww....

I"m now wondering how is Luke going to get a new lightsaber because he lost his weapon when his hand was cut off by Darth Vader and the weapon flew off and he lost it for good. Will the last book mention it? Or will they overlook this and let a lightsaber materialize in his pocket just like that? I'll only find out when I pick up book 6, The Return of the Jedi.

ps: I"ll be taking a break for a week before I read the last book. Till then wait for the next update.

Luke and Yoda

This is so exciting! Luke has finally met Yoda in person and he is receiving his training as a Jedi. I didn't know that Yoda can be so naughty. He rummaged through Luke's supplies and pilfered a lamp. When R2 tried to snatch it, he wrestled R2 for it. I thought Yoda was portrayed as more serious and wiser character in the first three stories. Here, he seems like a mischievous elf. Nothing like that respected teacher we know of.

Meanwhile Han, Leia, Chewbecca and c3p0 are running away with the imperials in hot pursuit. The couple has had their first kiss. Ok, so this means that Leia does not have the hotties for her brother anymore right? Ewww...

The saga continues...every time I read Star wars I get a special feeling. It's a well loved story...but not completely accepted by the younger generation these days. I will update more as I read along. To be continued ...

The Journey Contines

I haven't been updating my progress because I was busy. I'm now 40% into novel. The rebels have been forced to flee planet Hoth as the imperials have come for them. Han still has yet to face Jabba the Hutt as he was stuck with the rebels and Princess Leia. It looks like they have something going on together but Leia has given a passionate kiss on Luke's lips to piss Han off. Ewwww... They don't know they are related yet...but it's gross. So when will they know the truth that they are twins? This is like reading flowers in the attic...the space version....you know,that book by Virginia Andrews...
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this reading journey of star wars. It gives me a warm feeling because I love Star Wars.

Luke and Leia

I've finally finished reading Star Wars 4. Luke has the hots for his sister but he doesn't know they are twins. Still, it is very gross. In the last part of the book, we have Luke not thinking about his future with the Alliance because he is mesmerized by Leia. How gross is that?

Luke as at this point is still unaware that Ben Kenobe is with him spiritually. He thinks he is hearing things. Suddenly the story seems so primitive. But this was the story that drew fans from around the world even years later.

Sadly the new generation of youths are not that taken in by Star Wars as the previous one. I wish that George Lucas would come up with the sequel for the story as well. They should keep it going for the next generation to appreciate Star wars.

I shall say no more. I can't wait to move on to Star Wars 5. To be continued...

Darth Vader

After reading the first three episodes of Star Wars, Darth Vader no longer seems like a regular villain. Instead I feel pity for him because he was tricked into joining the dark side by the evil emperor. He had believed that becoming bad would save the life of his wife Padme Amidala. But he was also very proud and jealous of Obiwan and he had ambitions to be the most powerful Jedi in the galaxy. Perhaps his close friend the chancellor who is now the emperor had something to do with it too. Suddenly I'm looking at episode 4 with a new perspective. The next generation has never believed in the Jedi and they dismiss their power with the force as mere magic. (as seen through the eyes of Hans Solo).

Reading the book is different from watching the movie because you get to read about things that are not mentioned in the movie and it gives you a better understanding of the story. I'm left with a few pages to go to the end of book 4. To be continued in my next entry...

My Reading Journey

Previously I had used this blog to write a story testing and using the snow flake method. The old stuff is still around. I hope to update my entries now with my reading journey as I travel to another world with the characters that I'm following. I hope this blog turns out to be a success...let's see how it goes....
