 The Death Star is a weapon that Darth Vadar uses to destroy planets or something big. In the beginning of the movie Darth Vadar was destroying a planet and gets destroyed by the rebells. Darth Vadar is mad because someone just stole his plans.

 Darth Vadar is chasing Princess Leia around the galaxy because she has Darth Vadars plans which shows how it works and how to fix the Death Star because she knows he is going to use it to destroy a planet. Darth Vadar and his Storm Troopers his army are chasing Princess Leia to steall them back from her.

 Important facts about Luke are that he is the one who finds R2-D2 and sees the message the princess sends to Obi-Wan Kenobi about helping her with her fight to destroy Darth Vadar. Later, Luke finds Obi-Wan Kenobi and shows him the message. Obi tells and shows Luke about the force, his powers, about his dad, and the weapon the jedi's use a light saber.Then luke goes into training with Obi.

Also, find out that they have a conection because Darth Vadar is their father.

Homework Book Selection

We went to the library to learn more about Lucas films and what it is all about and after we were done. We were told to choose a book the book I chose is "Star Wars Episode I Anakin's Fate", by Marc Cerasini and illustrated by John Alvin. I chose this book because I looked in it and the drawings are really nice and it explains what happens in the begining episodes so I can understand the last episodes I am watching. I read the book and really liked it and it taught you a good lesson that you must "Trust Your Dreams."

      This movie is interesting I have seen the movie but just some parts and never really paid attention to it. Now when I see the movie I can understand it and look at it in a different way. I can see all the goofs and how incredible this movie really is. I am hopping to see all of them to finally see what these historical movies are all about. I am in a Media Arts Class and hope to learn a lot from these movies to help my knowledge in making movies.
