QUEST 6: Sidekicks INFLUENCES – Friends INFLUENCES – Friends QUEST 6: Sidekicks Teacher notes Curriculum links: Literacy Zone relevance: Choices Description: In this activity students will discuss the qualities of a good sidekick, by highlighting two famous sidekicks from the Star Wars films: Chewbacca and R2-D2. Students will then create their own sidekick, as well as stories involving this new character. Background: A sidekick can be defined as a close friend or follower who accompanies another on adventures. In the original trilogy of Star Wars, we are introduced to Han Solo and Chewbacca. The inspiration for Han Solo’s sidekick came from George Lucas’s own dog, which used to ride co-pilot with him in the car. Chewbacca and Han Solo are smugglers, mechanics, pilots, and friends. They help the Rebel Alliance at different points in the story, getting into a lot of sticky situations and adventures. Chewbacca is definitely known for his great height, his strength and his fierce loyalty. It wasn’t clear to start, in the early design of Chewbacca’s character, what he would look like but one thing always remained: Han Solo wasn’t Han Solo, without Chewbacca. R2-D2 is found in all the Star Wars movies and is a faithful sidekick to more than one character. Young Anakin Skywalker first meets R2-D2 when he flies a ship off Naboo, to help shut off the power source for the Droid army below. R2-D2 then stays with Anakin as he grows and becomes a Jedi; R2-D2 helps Anakin in many situations during the Clone Wars. R2-D2 is also a sidekick for Luke Skywalker when his family purchases him and C-3PO on Tatooine. R2-D2 flies with Luke as he blows up the Death Star and accompanies him to Dagobah where Luke is trained by Jedi Master Yoda. R2-D2 and C-3PO are also sidekicks and close companions that have been through many adventures together. R2-D2 is known for his devotion, his spirit and his problem solving skills. Activity 1: Using the Student worksheet, ask students to write a description of a sidekick they would like to have with them. They should include information such as what their sidekick would look like, act like or do with (or for) them. Activity 2: Once they have created their sidekick character, they can move on to writing a story featuring their character. © 2016 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All rights reserved. Used under authorization. EDUCATOR’S RESOURCE GUIDE 11 Student worksheet 1 Activity 1: Create your own sidekick character and draw a picture of it below. Think about the type of sidekick you would like to have with you. What will your character look like? How will it act? What would you like your sidekick to do for you? What is the name of your sidekick? Activity 2: In your workbook, write a story featuring your sidekick character. © 2016 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All rights reserved. Used under authorization. EDUCATOR’S RESOURCE GUIDE 12.

    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

  • Trouble on Tatooine How the Grinth Stole Lifeday
    Trouble on Tatooine How the Grinth Stole Lifeday Anchorhead: The players have accepted a contract that had them picking up a bunch of cargo that had been floating in space for a few hundred years. This was next to a wrecked ship that had been salvaged of everything usable. The contact says you are to deliver this cargo to Docking Bay 94 in Mos Eisley. Then, this Watto fella gives you an astromech and some credits. The “Enter Player ship name” emerges from hyperspace over the desert planet of Tatooine. ​ ​ This barren wasteland is the furthest thing from the ideal planet to celebrate Life Day at. At least there are some good cantinas down there. Allow the PCs to make last minute preparations before landing. Are they preparing weapons they want to carry off the ship? Are they hiding contraband? You land in Mos Eisley at Docking Bay 94, excited to conclude this transaction. Of course, as you disembark, you realize this deal is no better than any other. There is no cargo skiff, no transport and most annoying of all… no astromech. Instead, there’s a buck-toothed Twi’lek in fine robes. He steps toward you as your feet touch down on Tatooine sand. The Twi’lek bows courteously and says, “Greetings. I am Bibfort, Mr. Watto’s personal assistant. I trust you had no problem acquiring the cargo? Mr. Watto would like for me to inspect it if I may?” PCs can stay and watch Bibfort spend three hours going overthe cargo in excruciating detail, or they can head to the cantina.

  • REVENGE of the JEDI ” Written by GEORGE LUCAS [REVISED] ROUGH DRAFT [June 12] © 1981 Lucasfilm Ltd
    STAR WARS – EPISODE VI : “REVENGE OF THE JEDI ” Written by GEORGE LUCAS [REVISED] ROUGH DRAFT [June 12] © 1981 Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reserved A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… 1. SPACE The boundless heavens serve as a backdrop for the MAIN TITLE. A ROLL-UP crawls into infinity. The Rebellion is doomed. Spies loyal to the Old Republic have reported several new armored space stations under construction by the Empire. A desperate plan to attack the Dreaded Imperial capitol of Had Abbadon and destroy the Death Stars before they are completed has been put into effect. Rebel commandos, led by Princess Leia, have made their way into the very heart of the Galactic Empire: as the first step toward the final battle for freedom…. Pan down to reveal the planet HAD ABBADON, capitol of the Galactic Empire. The gray planet’s surface is completely covered with cities and is shrouded in a sickly brown haze. Orbiting the polluted planet is a small, green, moon, a sparkling contrast to the foreboding sphere beyond. A large IMPERIAL TRANSPORT glides into frame. WE follow it, as it rockets toward the Imperial capitol. Four small TIE FIGHTERS escort the larger craft. The web-like structures of two Death Stars under construction loom in the distance as the transport approaches. Resting to one side of the half completed space station is Darth Vader’s super STAR DESTROYER and several ships of the Imperial fleet. One of the TIE Fighters escorting the Imperial transport begins to wobble and drops back with its engine sputtering.

Some of the controls will be different on the other versions (Pinball FX 2, Star Wars Pinball, etc...), but everything else in the Guide remains the same.
