Homework Assignment 1/18/11 (1 paragraph)

I picked a book called "Star Wars Clone Wars Adventures". I picked this book because I want to learn about the Clone Wars that happened in Star Wars. The book has a lot of details in it, like for example you can see the space ship shooting out those lasers to another ship. I like how it is a comic book because you can see who is talking with those bubbles on top of the person who is talking. I like the texture of the artwork because it looks a bit real and a bit fake. The is a interesting book, and I can't wait until I read another volume of this book.

Star Wars V Plot Summary

 Luke was traveling in Hoth, an icy planet. He was trying to find something and the Rebels thought that Luke may be lost in Hoth.  An ice monster trapped him in a cave and Luke took out his light saber to attack the ice monster. Once he escaped, he did not know where to go next because he was lost. While Luke was traveling, he saw the spirit of Obi Wan Kenobi and he told Luke to go to the planet Dagobah to find Jedi master Yoda.
  Luke is the commander in the Rebel Alliance and Princess Leia Organa is a high ranking official in the Rebellion. R2-D2 is Luke's astromech droid and C-3PO is Leia's protocol droid. Han Solo is a ranking position in the Rebel Alliance. Darth Vader is a bad guy who tries try to take over the world and is the father of Luke. It seems awkward how Darth Vader and Luke are related to one another, but Darth Vader is with the dark force and Luke are on the Rebellions.
  The dark force was a part of Darth Vader's army. The dark force tries to take over the world by killing everyone who disagrees with them. The rebellions included Luke, Princess Leia Organs, and Han Solo. The rebellions try to not let the dark force take over the world by having a war them. The movie is a bit interesting because I do not really get what is going on. I like how the movie has goofs in it because we can see how they made the movie by seeing what materials they used to make the movie. The movie was still interesting, but just hard to understand.
