With the seventh installment of Star Wars coming this month I figured it would make a good topic. This video talks about a popular new conspiracy theory where the character Jar Jar Binks was supposed to become the Sith lord instead of Palpatine. It makes some very convincing points. The clumsy character seems to find his way into some very powerful positions. This might have happened due to control of the force. Clips from the video show him flicking his wrists and while talking to lead characters. These conversations happened at crucial times during the film, and they all ended in the sith’s favor. The creator of the video believes he is using Jedi mind trick to sway the plot in his favor. The creator…
In the article “ Star Wars: Rogue One” - “Will Disney’s spinoff survive the shadow of The Force Awakens”, asked Brandon Russell ? Last year this time scenes from the Force Awakens had given us a glimpse of excitement of what we were about to encounter in our next journey of featured films about the great Star Wars movies we loved. The Force Awakens, stated Brandon Russell in his article written 4, January 2016, “It would have made for perfect timing to show some clips of the upcoming film Rogue One to entice the already eager Star Wars fans.” Now that Disney has it’s upcoming release of the new film, some critics may wonder if the…

Not only is concentration fundamental to a Jedi’s path, but their understanding of reality and the strong focus on the present (wisdom) that Jedi Knights exhibit, is also crucial and vividly displayed throughout the saga, specifically through character Yoda-who can be regarded as a sage who has mannerisms similar to Gautama Buddha’s. In Star Wars, Yoda says many things that directly align with words spoken by Gautama Buddha himself. For instance, on episode I, Yoda says: “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering” (Star Wars, Episode I). Similarly, Gautama Buddha teaches that: “There is suffering; there is a cause of suffering; there can be an end to suffering; the eightfold path brings about the end of suffering” (Gautama). In both cases, one can sense the wisdom that both figures possess, and can also observe that both have a clear…
I went from being a shop owner to being a slave in the Roman the town I lived in. Becoming a slave changed how I viewed life. When I was a shop owner, I had a feeling of accomplishment, but now, I cry myself to sleep as I was constantly in pain. I usually was a slave for a Roman shop owner carrying out the everyday business transactions, but after the Roman city of Rome burned down, I was put in a group of other slaves whose sole purpose was to be unskilled labor for the construction of Domus Aurea or “The Golden House," (Anderson 1997 52) for the Roman emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus (Adkins 1994 21) who we normally refer to as “Nero.” Once I was put into this group of slaves, I experienced many beatings and had to do a lot of grueling work (Anderson 1997 124). My main job was to assist another slave who was a bricklayer. I had to haul the bricks up the Palatine hill along with having to carry the cement and bricks up the shaky ladder to another slave who was a bricklayer.…
“The consistent opposition of Britain was the main cause of Napoleon’s downfall.” How far do you agree?…
- England’s hold on the colonies weakened between 1700 and 1775 because the administration of colonial affairs remained decentralized and inefficient. There was no colonial office in London. There was a mere advisory body that had little role in any actual decisions. Real authority rested in the Privy Council, the admiralty, and the treasury, but these agencies were responsible for managing laws at home as well as overseas; no one could concentrate on colonial affairs alone. The character of the royal officials in America also weakened England’s hold on the colonies because most of these officeholders were not able and intelligent. Appointments generally came as results of bribery or…
In the article “ The force in ‘Star Wars’ is stupid and immoral” written by Ben Shapiro He states that “The vision of the force in the star wars galaxy is morality free its feelings centered wich another way of saying “selfish” who cares about your feelings?” I think the point of the force is that the light side is about using it to help others, and the dark side is about using it for yourself.…
It is clearly evident that Star Wars episodes 2 and 3 draw a definitive line between ‘morality’ and ‘depravity’. It can be argued that Anakin Skywalker’s turn to the dark side, and Palpatine’s twisted manipulations undoubtedly showcase moral corruption, which can be compared to Padmé Amidala, who embodies a moral and loyal figure.…
The title of the movie is significant because we automatically learn a Jedi will return somewhere. In the text crawl, it explains, Luke Skywalker has returned to his home planet of Tatooine to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. The opening scene has C3PO and R2D2 in a desert type atmosphere talking about Jabba the Hutt. These characters’ help bring rational thought to what is going during the movie. C3PO tells R2D2 that if he explained the things he has heard about Jabba the Hutt R2D2 would short circuit. After hearing that we understand Jabba the Hutt is a villain.…

The year is 2178, and the world has one government, under Adolf Hitler. People have figured out how to preserve their health, to the point where the life expectancy is about 1000 years. Life is horrid, as Hitler owns and controls your life. All arts, culture, sport, and fun is nonexistent basicly. Hitler only allows some education of math and science, and work. Over the years all African, Asian, South American, Middle Eastern, and some European cultures have been killed off. The old times have been forgotten forever.…

In 1933, Hitler and his National Socialist (Nazi) party were elected into power in Germany. Hitler was chosen by his party to become the new chancellor of Germany. The National Socialist (Nazis) won 34.1% of the overall vote. The German people were looking for a new voice for their suffering; they wanted a new leader to help get them out of their downfall during World War I, the Great Depression of 1929, and the Treaty of Versailles.…
