Star Wars question survey

I had done something similar on my fanfiction account and when I saw Satine from A Jedi Knight...Or Soon Will be and Kayla from Jedi Filmmaker, I thought I'd do it as well.



1. Your favorite character.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, of course. :) He's such a well done, developed character, one I can relate to very easily, he's a very kind, calm individual, and he's just plan awesome!! :D :D :D


2. Your favorite sith.

Darth Vader. He's a great character and in the end, makes the right choice and becomes a Jedi again :).


3. Your favorite bounty hunter.

Boba Fett, I guess. Bounty Hunters have never been my thing in the SW universe.




4. Your favorite moment to mock.

When Obi-Wan and Anakin are in the speeder chase and are making funny verbal jabs at each other. XD


5. Your favorite pirate.
Hondo, I guess. I don't like pirates, though, since they are criminals.

6. Your favorite senator.

Padme Amidala, Bail Organa, and Riyo Chuchi are the best!! :D I also like Mon Mothma.


7. Your favorite creature.

Boga, I guess

8. Your favorite movie.

Revenge of the Sith is my absolute, hands down, favorite movie of the saga and in general. My second favorite Star Wars film is Return of the Jedi, closely followed by The Phantom Menace.

17. Your favorite romance.

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Siri Tachi; you're looking at their number 1 shipper(well, one of them, anyway XD). I just love how it all works and much it makes sense; I didn't think the idea would work until I read "Secrets of the Jedi" back when I was eleven. It is my favorite shipping pair ever and I wish there could be more books written with these two characters :).


18. Your favorite scene.

The entire Duel on Mustafar sequence, especially the end with the dialogue; it's a very powerful, sad scene and I love how it was written and acted out. I also like the Duel on Naboo, especially when Obi-Wan kills Darth Maul, and when Vader returns to the light side and restores balance and peace to the Force and to the galaxy; I also love anything with Obi-Wan and Anakin, or Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, or Obi-Wan and Siri, they're the best. :)

The Clone Wars era, Pre-The Phantom Menace era, Pre-Clone Wars era, the Rebellion era, the New Republic/Jedi Order era, and the Old Republic era.

Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mustafar(Obi-Wan looses his brother, friend, and son :(), when Qui-Gon dies, Order 66, the entire second half of Revenge of the Sith, when Siri dies, and when Tahl dies.

When Vader becomes Anakin once more and defeats Palpatine and when Obi-Wan faced Darth Maul alone. I also love it when Obi-Wan jumped out that window in AotC.

28. Least favorite moment.
The romance scenes between Anakin/Padme and Han/Leia in the movies. :p
I also don't like some things that happened in The Clone Wars t.v series. Oh, and all tthe anti-Jedi slander in Karen Traviss's Star Wars books.

29. Funniest moment.
Obi-Wan and Anakin's banter XD. I also really like Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's and Obi-Wan and Siri's banter as well. I also thought it was funny when in Jedi Quest, Obi-Wan and Siri had to dress up in silly clothing and they kept taking jabs at each other.

Star Wars Challenge Day 8

Today's topic is "Favorite Original trilogy film"

For me, there is no contest-it's Return of the Jedi.

It is my favorite OT film for many reason which I will relay below.

This film is the end of the six films and it brings it all to a close so before even seeing it, you know it will be good. It brings everything we know and gives us one of the best story endings ever. I love how Luke grew and matured from the farm boy on Tatooine who dreamed of adventure.

What makes it my favorite Original Trilogy film is the last third of the film which deals with Luke and his desperate attempts at redeeming his father and the end of the Empire. Luke's strength in not turning and child-like and innocent (I don't mean this in a bad way) belief that his father is good. Mark Hamill truly shines in these scenes, showing us Luke's inner torment, worry for his friends, and desire to save his father from the evil darkside that entraps him.

Though my favorite part of the fight scene is when Luke, who has thrown away his lightsaber, says"Never. I'll never turn to the darkside. You failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Then Palpatine, in a rage at not getting what he wants, begins to attack Luke with Force lightning. Luke begs his father for help and finally, finally, the ice around Vader's heart melts and he rises up and throws the evil monster into the main reactor and he is Anakin once more. Then Luke drags his dying father away and tries to save him-only to be told that he already has. He and his father briefly get to talk and Luke takes off his father's mask so Anakin can look at his son with his own eyes for the first, and last, time. The acting in these scene is extremely powerful and well done.

Another reason I love this movie so much is the end sequence. After so much pain and fear, the galaxy is set right. I love the montages of all the worlds celebrating the fall of the Empire and the way it ends back on Endor with our heroes. Then Luke sees the Force-Ghosts of Obi-Wan and Yoda joined by his father, Anakin, and their all smiling. And you know that everything is right now in the galaxy and that the Jedi are back. Oh, and I love the song! I played it at my last piano recital. :)

Here is the end of Return of the Jedi which is so, so, SO amazing! See if you can find the toppling of the Emperor's statue(its during the montage on Coruscant.) Oh, and I have to say it- I LOVE STAR WARS!!!!!!! :)

Oh, and here's a fanfiction I wrote about Anakin's redemption. Hope you enjoy it.

Star Wars Challenge Day 4

Well, today's topic is "Your Favorite Jedi"

My favorite Jedi is Obi-Wan Kenobi(because he's the ultimate Jedi), but since I already discussed him in a previous post(For my all time favorite character) I'll tell you about some of my other favorite Jedi.

The first person of whom I wish to speak is Siri Tachi. After Obi-Wan, she is my second favorite character; she's brave, she's headstrong, she's impulsive, she gets angry easily and she seemed sort of like me :). I first came across Siri when I read Secrets of the Jedi. I immediately took a liking for her and for awhile she was my favorite character. Since then I have read the Jedi Apprentice series and the Jedi Quest series and have gotten to read more about her. I find her a really enjoyable character and I wish she could be more explored in other novels(maybe one of the adult Star Wars books starring her, Obi-Wan, Anakin during the Clone Wars). My liking of her character and the relationship she has with Obi-Wan is one of the reasons I detest Satine(from TCW) and Taria(from the Clone Wars Gambit duo); she was there first and her relationship is the ONLY one where I can actually sense something between them; with the other two freaks(who I say don't exist) there is nothing there at all. One thing I wish was that she could make an appearance in the Clone Wars t.v series(I'd like to see the second half of Secrets of the Jedi made into an episode arc) where her and Obi-Wan's relationship is touched upon.

The second person I wish to speak of will be the great Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. Master to Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was the man who found The Chosen One on Tatooine, setting many things in motion for the galaxy.

When I first watched The Phantom Menace, I really liked his character; my sister and I were SO angry when he was killed that when Obi-Wan was fighting Maul we were shouting for Maul's defeat. Even though he was only in one film, he made an impression and not only on the viewers but the characters themselves. Obi-Wan always feels like he'll never amount to his old Master, and its Qui-Gon who ends up passing on the secret of immortality. I got to know Qui-Gon more through the awesome Jedi Apprentice series and my liking for him grew. He was a wise, calm Jedi Master, but he was also very human which made him even more compelling. I know that if I had read the Jedi Apprentice series before watching The Phantom Menace I would have cried at his death. I also love his relationship with Obi-Wan; it was really sweet and the father-son part of it was amazing.

Anakin Skywalker; The Chosen One. Some love him, some hate him- me I fall more towards the latter category. I'll admit, when I first saw Attack of the Clones I found him extremely annoying(though I really liked him The Phantom Menace) but after several years, he began to grow on me and I began to feel for him, especially after watching Revenge of the Sith. Reading the EU helped me like him even more. Then, last year, I read the Revenge of the Sith novelization and he was bumped into my favorites lists. The book made me understand him COMPLETELY; you understood why he fell, his heart, his soul, his fears- by the end of the book I knew him as much as you can know him. His story is one of tragedy; you see him start out as a sweet, little boy to a egoistic, arrogant, emotional teenager, to a conflicted, fearful young man. Though many things influenced his fall I will say it was a mixture of Palpatine's seduction and, of course, Anakin's choice to turn. For me, once Anakin turns into Darth Vader, it is hard to decide what I feel towards him; I feel sorry for him that his life has come to this but then I also will hold him accountable for the atrocities he committed in Operation Knightfall(slaughtering children is NEVER right). But once he is redeemed and joins the Force alongside his best friend, I feel a great happiness- the Jedi has returned. :)
