Chaos Tamer
As a long time fan of Star Wars, I delight in my discovery of this video. A fan montage, it really does a great job of taking the “The greatest teacher failure is” phrase of Yoda’s and reinforce it well. It really adds some interesting insights into The Last Jedi.
I appreciate considering the importance of failure, not only in the lives of fictional characters but also in ours.
Saw this thread today:
“Death Star” is the perfect brand ID.
You can update it every day. “The Trump Death Star has killed 74,773 Americans…”
Or
“Trump has so far caused 74,773 deaths, and when you’re a star, they let you do it”— Tom Joseph (@TomJChicago) May 7, 2020
My mind immediately pictured the scene in A New Hope where Obi-Wan senses the destruction of Alderaan. Doesn’t seem like a positive message about a candidate to me. Anyway, I whipped out this meme in response.
A little cheesy and amateurish, but thought “what the hell”. I might regret it as there possibly will be an explosion of crankiness. Or maybe not. Might be one person who likes it and it fades into oblivion. In the end, I thought this silly little meme sums up my feelings succinctly.
May the Force be with you All.
I have really enjoyed the final season of Star Wars: Clone Wars. The animation is amazing, and the stories, well, for me at least, perfect. I’ve reconnected with the characters enough that it’s going to hurt when Order 66 goes down.
Last week’s episode, The Phantom Apprentice, was powerful. Part of that was bringing back Ray Park, who performed Maul in the Phantom Menance, and an exceptional martial artist. The team used motion capture to create this dynamic, engaging piece of film (can I call it film if it’s only digital?).
Below is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the episode. Well worth watching if you’re fascinated by the production of movies and tv.
As both a Star Wars fan and space geek, this video from StarWars.com explores the real science that is inspired by the film.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
As a martial artist and Star Wars fan, this speaks to me deeply. The reminder to keep trying, to keep getting up and trying again. Never give up on your goals.
I’ve been eagerly waiting the final season of Clone Wars, and this trailer gives my soul what it needs.
February 21 will a fine day, indeed.
Maybe I’m just silly, but I see similarities here. Maybe I like Snyder so much because he’s a Jedi Master?
Star Wars holds a dear place in my heart. So does anime. Combine them? My heart sings.
I really enjoyed this greatly. I hope you do, too.
Obi wan Kenobi has long been my favorite Star Wars character. Possibly my favorite character period.
This montage/homage is just wonderful. I believe it captures the essence of his being.
So much Star Wars on
This event in Chicago
One of my life’s great joys
Star Wars has long been a key part of my life. The films are a central part of my personal mythology. I’ve written a few other poems about the films, and I expect I’ll write more.
With Star Wars Celebration going on in Chicago this weekend, I’ve been delighted to watch video footage of the happenings. I’ve long been inspired by the universe, and delighted as we keep moving forward. I felt a desire to communicate a bit of what it feels like to watch what’s happening to these characters I love. I hope I did it justice.
