Princess Leia Is Captured by Rebel Forces, Led by Darth Vader. She Sends an SOS Message to a Droid Named R2D2 1 A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away: Princess Leia is captured by rebel forces, led by Darth Vader. She sends an SOS message to a droid named R2D2. Luke Skywalker finds the droid, and the saga begins. Our journey at FHS can be put into terms of Star Wars: Episode IV, a New Hope. And the driving force behind us is efficacy: the belief that we can make it through the hard stuff--the storm troopers, junk monsters, and end of course exams. Somewhere along our path this force was nudging us on, encouraging us to keep going, whether in the form of a friend, family member, or teacher. We will remember our school not only for its bathroom stalls without locks and strangely endearing murals, but also for its amazing resources from TV to Agri, and the relationships we built within its walls. As the new half of our school is being constructed, I can't help but think about how much character lies within this building. It is our Milennium Falcon. Another huge force behind why we're here are the teachers: the jedi masters who guide us to the ways of the world, led by the honorable Obi Wan Jacobi. The administrators and staff are like the droids, sending vital messages and coordinating rescue missions. A variety of students parade these halls, from wookies to jawas, to bandies. Our high school experiences can't all be sugarcoated, either. We've been through ice storms and snow storms. We all felt a blow when Forrest and Beau passed away. But these experiences became a common thread between us, and made us stronger. They built our self efficacies--why we should keep going. When Luke, Leia, and Harrison Ford are stuck in a giant trash compactor about to be mashed into a concentrated pulp, the words of the poet Robert Frost come to mind: The road may be long, and the hill may be steep But we've got miles to go before we sleep, and miles to go before we sleep. We've got miles to go, yes, but we've already accomplished so much. It may not always be smooth flying in this galaxy, but no matter where we go, the forces of efficacy are always with us. .

  • “Carrie Fisher Sent Me”
    Unbound: A Journal of Digital Scholarship Realizing Resistance: An Interdisciplinary Conference on Star Wars, Episodes VII, VIII & IX Issue 1, No. 1, Fall 2019 “CARRIE FISHER SENT ME” Princess Leia as an avatar of resistance in the Women’s March Christina M. Knopf Keywords: Star Wars, Resistance, Women’s March A January 2017 article from the Independent led with the words, “Across the world, Carrie Fisher's rebel princess turned general become [sic] a source of hope and inspiration for women everywhere” (Loughrey 2017, para. 1). The article was loaded with images from Twitter of protest signs bearing Carrie Fisher’s visage with her iconic hair rolls superimposed with such slogans as “Woman’s Place is in the Resistance,” “We are the Resistance,” and “Rebel Scum.” Signs found in Twitter posts, news articles, and published archives revealed numerous Star Wars-inspired messages of feminist rebellion and resistance. Some featured Princess Leia as Rosie the Riveter, the emblem of the Resistance fighters tattooed on her arm or taking the place of Rosie’s employment badge on her collar. Signs recreated the Star Wars’ ITC Serif Gothic Heavy font to proclaim that “The Women Strike Back,” “The Fempire Strikes Back,” “The Estrogen Empire Strikes Back,” and “The Female Force Awakens,” others presented the Resistance insignia and/or Princess Leia’s face stating “Resistance is Built on Hope.” Some protestors dressed in a full Princess Leia costumes from A New Hope, promising to defeat the Dark Side. Some marchers paraphrased Leia’s iconic plea to Obi Wan, and declared, “We are Our Only Hope.” A sign paraphrasing Yoda argued that “Fear leads to anger.

  • Commonwealth V. Han Solo Charges
    Fantasy Mock Trial Outline: Commonwealth v. Han Solo Charges: 1. Theft by Unlawful Taking, 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 3921(a) 2. Hindering Prosecution—Tampering with Witness, 18 Pa. C.S.A. § 5105(a)(3) Background: This is a criminal case involving the theft of the Millennium Falcon from the Death Star and tampering with evidence. The defendant is Han Solo. The underlying incident occurred at the Death Star where Darth Vader was keeping the Millennium Falcon which had been confiscated by the Storm Troopers because Han Solo was using it for illegal purposes (sending food, lightsabers and other contraband items to Princess Leia and the Rebels). Han Solo snuck into the Death Star with C-3PO in order to steal back the Falcon. Before the Storm Troopers were able to detain them both, Han was able to use a memory eraser virus on C-3PO so when he/she was questioned by Darth Vader he/she couldn’t remember what happened or why he/she was at the Death Star. When Han is taken in for questioning the Storm Trooper separates him from C-3PO. The Storm Trooper is about to begin questioning but before he can Darth Vader comes into the room and suggests the Storm Trooper has somewhere else he has to be. The Storm Trooper looks at Han and says he has somewhere else he has to be and that he would be back. Once the Storm Trooper leaves, Darth Vader begins questioning Han about why he is there, what he was using the Falcon for, and why he brought C-3PO with him.

    UCCS | Undergraduate Research Journal | 10.2 Arguing Progressivism in a Movie Theater Far Far Away By Michael Wheeler Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze feminism as it pertains to the Star Wars film series. After examining the opinions of other authors and analyzing scenes from the film, can the female characters be considered progressive as it pertains to feminism? Various authors of other scholarly articles as well as novels, which contain collections of scholarly articles, were used to add ethos to the argument. Biographies and scenes from the Star Wars films themselves were analyzed to gather information on specific female characters from the film and to analyze their actions and personas. Per these sources, there is high praise for the female characters in Star Wars. Characters, both in the foreground and the background of the films, have different stories and attributes that make them strong as characters. These strengths and the characters’ abilities to react to new challenges result in them being deemed progressive by modern society. It will be a pleasure seeing how the series continues to move forward and how it will continue to experiment with the characters and what challenges the characters will face. Introduction Due to the prominence of the male Jedi within the Star Wars film series such as Obi-wan, Yoda, Luke, and Mace Windu, it might seem like the female Jedi are non-existent or rare. However, there were a fair number of female Jedi represented within the Star Wars film series. There were Depa Billada, Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti, Adi Gallia, Luminara Unduli, and many more (Sansweet, 2008; Hidalgo and Beecroft, 2016; et al).
