May The Force Be With You....


Of late I have been learning a lot about the Star Wars Extended Universe, i sometimes stay amazed at the Sheer luck of George Lucas, none of his earlier movies did well but the moment he completed Star Wars, the Original Movie later named as "A new Hope" became an almost cult movie thus laid down the path for him to create the two sequels and the Three Prequels later. But he did not even stop at that! he continued to release animations as well as comic books one after the other depicting heroic tales both prior and after the events depicted in the six films, thus the entire Universe of Star Wars came to existence along with its myriad species both humanoid and non......


There is a detailed Wiki in Wikipedia called the Wookeypedia on the net check it out!

Although I found some of the adventures to be repetitive and taking strong support from the original films in their making also that some concepts are a bit too overstretched which sometimes do become a bit hard to swallow, and are possibly done to cater to the fan's desires and wishes, there is no doubt about the fact that George Lucas has outdone himself as he did everything with a vibrant passion and with such a vision which he had the imaginative capability to dream up first.

Also the inlaid philosophies depicted in the concept is definitely commendable along with the clear distinction of Good and Evil which is so rare in this days of shady super heroes and psychologically challenged cynic mutants and the nihilistic attitude towards the future which the popular culture gives us today.....


Coming back to the point I find Star Wars to be a captivating experience and no matter what he discrepancies it might have I am, after all, and would always be a die hard Star Wars Fan, my dad showed me the first film when i was but a kid and it caught my imagination right away!


Oh! How many happy hours did I ran around the house with a toy sword in my hand(it was real lightsabre then!) and gesturing towards articles which actually flew(in my mind!), I cannot say (In fact I still do it occasionally when I am absolutely sure no one's looking!).....Well, after all I was and still am the greatest Jedi who ever lived.....



To you all I say this
as master Yoda said,"Meditate on this, I will." "Meditate on this, You Should."




The Greatest Jedi



I finish with this simple thing once again said by the venerable Jedi master

"For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. The force surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you."
Although a long time has passed still Lord Darth Vader is Considered to be the Face of Star Wars.
