What is the New Hope in Star Wars Episode IV?

April 18th, 2012

When will the prequel episodes of Star Wars be released on Family Guy show?
The Family Guy show did some episodes in Star Wars version, would they do the prequels as well? When are they gonna release?If you read the opening crawl of the third Star Wars parody done by Family Guy, it explained that Seth MacFarlane was not even that thrilled in making “Something, Something, something Dark Side” or “It’s a Trap!”. Since there was a lack in motivation to finish off even the Original series, I can imagine there is far less motivation to do another three covering the Prequels.

What is the New Hope in Star Wars Episode IV?
In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope what is the new hope: Luke Skywalker or the Empire’s stolen plans for the Rebel alliance contained in R2-D2? And in the episode VI, is it return of the Jedi (Luke) ?
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope:
At the end of Episode III you see the Clone Troopers turning on and killing their Jedi Generals, and Darth Vader and the Emperor continued the hunt and destruction of the entire Jedi Order. To the knowledge of the Emperor and Vader Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda are the only two Jedi that remain unaccounted for. When Luke resolves to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi like his father, he becomes the New Hope. For as the son of Anakin Skywalker, Luke inherited a powerful connection to the Force, and became the only champion the Jedi could produce to confront the Sith with both Obi-Wan and Yoda aging fast.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi:
After the Great Jedi Purge spearheaded by Vader and the Emperor wiped out what remained of the Jedi Order, only Yoda and Obi-Wan were unaccounted for. Obi-Wan was killed on the first Death Star which left only one Jedi. Yoda. When Yoda passed on Dagobah he told Luke “when gone am i the last of the Jedi will you be…” , yet Yoda also said the Luke would not become a Jedi until he defeated Darth Vader. So with the passing of Yoda the Jedi were indeed extinct for a short period of time. Luke defeated his father, Vader, on the Second Death Star and officially became a Jedi, when his father was redeemed, and died shortly thereafter, the Old Jedi Order was finally dead, and Luke was the only remaining Jedi having just achieved knighthood. This left the storyline open for the expanded universe novels who continue the story and tell just how Luke helped the Jedi truly return.

What are the names/authors of the original 9 star wars books?

April 17th, 2012

What are the names/authors of the original 9 star wars books?
I have been watching the old movies and then was told that there are really 3 chapters after the movies end. I have been looking for the names of the 9 books and there are so many Star Wars books out there.

One of the things that makes the Star Wars saga unique from other saga-stories is that they were NOT made from existing books. The books were written about the movies.

Lucas began writing “The Star Wars” in May of 1973. He didn’t write it in “book form”, he wrote it as a loose outline of a story. When he “finished” he had a massive 12 part epic saga in outline form. Over the years the story itself has undergone massive changes & those changes have had ripple effects through out the entire story. He first wanted to do the story in the same style that the old Flash Gordon series had been done but soon realized that wouldn’t be possible. The first movie, what we now know as ep IV: A New Hope, is different from the other 5 movies in two ways. First, it is the only one of them that can be seen as a stand alone movie. By that I mean it had a definite beginning & a definite end. Almost everyone in Hollywood at the time, including Lucas himself to a certain extent, thought the movie would be an absolute flop. If it had nobody would ever have to know that there was more of the story to tell. Second, it is the only one of the movies that is even remotely close to being the same as the story outline that Lucas wrote. After the movie was a smash hit Lucas realized that he could tell more of his story & that when things started to change. Of all the changes there are two major ones that had the most effect on the story as a whole. The first major change was to combine the characters of Anakin Skywalker & Darth Vader into one. No, when first written they were two completely different characters. There is even some proof of this in ep IV in the duel between Obi-Wan & Vader. When Obi-Wan talks to Vader he calls him “Darth”, as if it were his actual first name, that was because at the time it WAS his actual first name. When these two characters were made into one it basically eliminated the back story that had Obi-Wan & Anakin as friends and Jedi Knights with Darth Vader as Obi-Wan’s apprentice & the eventual killer of Anakin, for the most part 3 parts of the story. This left us with the fabled 9 part story that most casual fans think they know about. The first trilogy was to be about the rise & fall of Anakin Skywalker, the second trilogy was to be about the rise of Luke Skywalker & the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, the third trilogy was to be about the “Other Skywalker” that Yoda mentions in ep V. This brings us to the second major change in the story. When Lucas was “fleshing out” the final duel between Luke & Vader in ep VI he got stumped on what he could have Vader say to Luke that would cause Luke to attack his father in a dark side fueled rage. To solve that problem he made Leia the “other Skywalker” & had Vader threaten her. This change eliminated the third trilogy.

How much do you think all of the original Star Wars characters are worth?

April 16th, 2012

How can I forget the Star Wars prequels?
I’m watching the Original trilogy and I can’t seem to forget the Star Wars prequels no matter how hard I try.

Is there some sort of procedure, or potion that can kill the part of the brain that holds the memories of these abominations? I think my life would be better if I can forget them.What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient… highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed – fully understood – that sticks; right in there somewhere.

However we at ReKall Inc have a procedure that could just wipe your unwanted Star Wars memories, and we’ll throw in erasure of the Matix sequels for free along with a couple of ginsu knives. You In?
How can I make a Star Wars Jedi photo?
I have a friend who is even more addicted to Star Wars than me (I thought it was impossible), and I have seen pictures that people did where they put they are Jedi, obviously using some kind of internet thing. Where could I get this done? Please direct me to a website.They must have used Photoshop or some other image editing program. I am pretty sure there is no website that does this for you.

How much do you think all of the original Star Wars characters are worth?
I have all of the original Star Wars characters that are made out of some sort of rubber material. They’re kind of the old school bendable action figure. I even have the Darth Vader head that is the carrying case for all of them. PERFECT CONDITION. Anybody have any idea?They would have to be worth a “pretty Penny”—meaning a lot of money. For some kind of idea go on ebay and check it out—if they have any listed. Hold on to that set or sell for a high price.

How high is your Orginal Star Wars Trilogy replay value by rating?

April 13th, 2012
How high is your Orginal Star Wars Trilogy replay value by rating?
I watch Star Wars again and I must say it was quite irritating.
I love the story the first viewing but the second viewing it was kind of bad.
The CGI was irritating and the unaltered version was dated. I mean really dated.
Still watch them and still like them, but there are a few instances were I felt a bit like you do on this matter. Though the “special edition” versions of the original trilogy added some nice details and touch-ups, I still think they could have done a much better job and that’s what actually annoys me about the “special editions”… that they only “fixed” some of the stuff. Though I love Star Wars and grew up on the original trilogy, the changes I definately outright hated were:
The cantina scene in EP4 changed to Greedo shooting first instead of Han.
The new CGI wampa in the cave scene in EP5 did not mesh with the original cuts they still kept in… they should have left the cave scene alone and actually done the deleted scene where Wampa’s get into Echo base and attack the Tauntauns.
The new “hollywood happy ending” in EP6 where everyone all over the galaxy is shown cheering after the Rebel victory at Endor… so unrealistic and cheesy.
I need to get the original unaltered version. I don’t care if they look “dated” I want to see the originals again. I’ve gotten so used to watching the “newer” special edition versions that I’ve forgotten what the movies were really like when they first came out. I think seeing them again in their original unaltered version would help bring back those happy fun childhood memories of watching the movies and playing with the original Kenner-line Star Wars toys.
I prefer to let slide what I don’t like about the Star Wars movies and focus on the memories, fun, creativity, imagination, and feelings that they instill.

In star wars why can dark lords shoot lightning out of their finger but not jedi?

April 12th, 2012
In star wars why can dark lords shoot lightning out of their finger but not jedi?
This has been causing me to lose allot of sleep. I love star wars but this makes no god damn sense. Why is lightning evil? Also how does controlling the force allow the body to generate and not be harmed by lightning?
The only answer you’ve gotten so far that is even remotely close to being right is the one given by “River” but it has much more BS in it than truth.
First, a Force power is a Force power … anyone trained to use the Force can use any of the powers of the Force. The statement given by “Leader of the Amish Mafia” – “darth vader could choke people with his mind and no other jedi could do that” is 100% wrong … any Jedi, dark Jedi, or Sith could do it also.
Force lightning is not lightning as we would think of it … IE: Thunder Storms … etc. It is raw power from the Force formed into what looks like lightning. It acts the same way as lightning would but it is not lightning. It is however pretty much a master level power as it takes a tremendous amount of power and control to be used. This power as well as the “Force Choke” are considered “taboo” for a Jedi to use because of their almost purely offensive nature. There have been a few Jedi who have used this power, Kyle Katran & Luke Skywalker but in those cases it was being used in a defensive and/or “saving” nature. IE: when Luke uses it in the NJO he does it to save his nephew’s, Jacen Solo, life. Katran walked the line between the dark and light sides of the Force so his use of it doesn’t really count as he has been both good and evil in his life. This power is called “Emerald Lightning” when used by a Jedi in a defensive nature. In the end it is a corrupting power so it is one that is rarely used by a Jedi. Also, a powerful Jedi can both deflect and absorb the massive energy of it as Yoda does in ep II when attacked by Dooku. Use of this power IS damaging to the body but only from extended or multiple use of it. If this is an “dark” power why did we not see Darth Vader ever use it … glad you asked. Force lightning required a living conduit for the energy to be channeled; thus Darth Vader, despite being an immensely powerful Sith Lord, was never able to properly employ this ability, as all his limbs were prostheses.
This is not a power that only dark Jedi/ Sith Lords have, Jedi can do it too but because of it’s purely offensive & corrupting nature it is rarely used by a Jedi and then only the most powerful of them.

How much would these Star Wars action figures sell for?

April 11th, 2012
How much would these Star Wars action figures sell for?
I’ve got Princess Leia Organa and R2-D2 (they’re in the same box) as Jabba’s prisoners. I’ve also got Wedge Antilles and Biggs Darklighter in rebel pilot gear (in same box). I honestly don’t know how much they sell for. They’ve never been messed with and I’ve had them since I can remember :b I don’t know a thing about Star Wars so I don’t know how rare or whatever these are. They’re pretty legit though.look it up on google or try posting them on criagslist or ebay and see what offers you get.
Does anyone have any suggestions for my sons star wars party?
My son loves anything star wars. But right now he is really into the Clone Wars. We are having a star wars birthday party for him in a few weeks. Does anyone have any ideas for games or activities? We would really appreciate any suggestions. He will be turning 8 so we would need age appropriate ideas.
Here’s some ideas that I copied from a party website and just had them in my desktop.
Clone Wars
Before the party plan some skill games and relay races.
Divide the children into two teams – Droids and Clones.
The teams will compete against each other using the skill games. Award points for every game the teams win. At the end of all of the games the team with the most points wins the war.
Examples for skill games:
Sack races, three legged relays, clothes pin bucket drop, ball and bucket toss, bean bag tosses etc. Hide cards that say Clone and Droid (equal amount of each). Teams have to find all of their cards – first team to find them all wins.
Jedi Training Course
Create a challenging obstacle course in a large area for your Jedi trainees. Use tires, ropes, 2×4 boards, lawn furniture etc.The children will race or go through the course one at a time.
Light Saber Training
Before the party, make a light saber for each player using foam pipe insulation or skinny swimming “noodles”. Wrap 4-6 inches from the end with colored electrical tape to make a handle.
Inflate several balloons. Divide the children into pairs and give each pair an inflated balloon. The object of the game is to keep the balloon off the ground using only the light sabers.
TIP: play the soundtrack from Star Wars while the
kids are playing this game.
Who Said It ?
This game is best for older kids. Before the party, write several lines from the Star Wars Movies. Divide the players into teams. When the “Star Wars Master” (mom or dad),reads a line from the movie, the team to correctly say which movie the quote is from wins a point. The most point wins!

How do you get rid of saved character costumes on star wars the force unleashed?

April 9th, 2012
What are 3 different ships Han Solo piloted in the Star Wars series?
I need to know at least 3 different ships Han Solo piloted in star wars and prefferably when he piloted them.
His primary ship that he used throughtout his life was a Y-1300 stock light freighter called the Millenium Falcon. He got the ship from Lando Calrissian before A New Hope and used it to carry out his smuggling operations. He flew the ship in A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
During Return of the Jedi Solo piloted a caputured Imperial Lambda-class T-4a shuttle called the Tydirium onto the Forest Moon of Endor, carrying the rebel strike team he was in charge of.
He did not pilot any other starships during any of the films. However it has been noted through other material, mainly books, that Solo was at one point a swoop bike champion and former Imperial Academy student. Therefore it is safe to assume that he piloted swoop bikes aswell as various Imperial craft prior to A New Hope.
How do you get rid of saved character costumes on star wars the force unleashed?
I activated two character costume codes( Mace Windu & Emperor Palpatine) on Star Wars The Force Unleashed (on the Wii) and saved it, and now I noticed that I’m only missing those two characters on duel mode and I already beat the game. Can someone help me out?First of all you can’t get emperor palpatine for vs. mode.
If you beat it only once you will have 1 space missing.
You need to beat it again but on a diff. side.
emperor palpatine-light side (ceremonial Jedi Robes costume)
Darth vader- dark side (Sith stalker armor)
It has to be at the end dat is when u make ur choice.
choosing a diff. side might also result in getting mace windu.

How can I create a world as close to Star Wars as possible?

April 6th, 2012
What is the best era and time in Star Wars?
I’m a big Star Wars fan, and I really like the early New Republic era all the way to the early New Jedi Order era, 6 ABY to around 30 ABY to be exact. But I’m just a little curious what other fans like. I mainly just want to see if anybody likes the Alliance and the new jedi. I know a lot of people like the Clone Wars but I’ve never really found that time interesting.
I like the times surrounding the first Deathstar. There is intrigue and plotting, advances in spacecraft, the rebirth of the Jedi, the miraculous destruction of the deathstar and the crushing of hope as the empire continues on after words. The clone wars, while primarily deception, weren’t as interesting since the sides were very clearly drawn. The Post empire period is also a little less interesting to me since it is a reconstruction period more than anything else.
How can I create a world as close to Star Wars as possible?
So I just got done playing a marathon session of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (beat it in 33 hours) and then it hit me– why don’t I try to make the real world as close to Star Wars as possible. How can I achieve this dream? What major do I pursue, what technology do I invent? Do I work on constructing a working hyperdrive engine, discover a reliable source of bacta for healing, or create the Jedi religion in real life?I have to tell, and no offense, but most Star Wars technologies are just fiction. But if you are really that inspired because of the films, I say…
Go for Aerospace Engineering. You can design some aircraft or spacecraft.

What outfit do you get in star wars the force unleashed 2 Sith edition?

April 5th, 2012

Why are star wars audio books abridged fiction ?
I recently downloaded the audio book “Star Wars: Courtship of Princess Leia” from iTunes and saw that it was abridged.
Looking at the rest of the audio books on iTunes I saw that all of the star wars books are abridged.
Why is that?

Many audio books, not just Star Wars audio books, are released in an abridged format to condense material to a suitable length.Novels are supposed to be read silently to oneself, which is generally faster than reading aloud. To release a complete version of the novel in audio form would likely last over 20 hours and therefore be very expensive to both the publisher to produce and the consumer to purchase, so instead the publisher will remove anything from small references to entire scenes which are considered superfluous, i.e. they do not move the story along.

What outfit do you get in star wars the force unleashed 2 Sith edition?
I entered the code and I’m on the second mission. I only have the clone outfit and the pilot outfit. how do you get the outfit I entered the code for?
if you mean the collector edition then you should get the maulkiller costume and the amplification lightsaber crystals. To redeem the code if you have the xbox 360, you have to first have an xbox live account (Free silver is ok) and then once connected to xbox live, press the xbox menu button and search for redeem code, then put the code in and it shoild download the costume and the crystals right away. If it is on PS3 then go to this page: gamestop.com/code
then search for the add that says something like maulkiller costume the force unleashed 2 and follow the instructions in there.

About the dark lord armour, you can only get it by buying the character pack in xboxlive or Playstation store, it is about 1 dollar special prize. About the black crystal it is in the mission Kamino the return nearly at the end where there is a holocron at the top of the vents where you can only get by jumping in an object near it. The other is gained after receiving a gold medal in the scout trooper challenge. hope it helps.
