Star Wars Favorites
Favorite Jedi: Obi-Wan (He's a model of a hero)

Favorite Star Wars Episode: Return of the Jedi (conclusive+cute furry Ewoks)

Favorite Star Wars Overall Ship: Executor (Intimidating, and all the EU attempts of creating a huge thing that is horrendously scary are rip-offs of this)

Favorite Star Wars Capital Ship: Venator-class Star Destroyer (looks good with those Jedi Interceptors passing by it)

Favorite Star Wars Cargo Freighter: Millennium Falcon (Hard to spell, detailed, creative, looks like a half-eaten hamburger)

Favorite Star Wars Starfighter: X-Wing (the one that started it all)

Favorite Sith: Darth Jacen (Jacen is a good character as a Jedi and as a Sith)

Favorite Superweapon: R2-D2 (Look, if you don't beleive he is a superweapon, look at the facts. He destroyed the Eclipse II by crashing it into the Galaxy Gun, which made it fire a projectile randomly into Byss. He annihilated a huge capital ship, a superweapon, and a planet with one stroke of his computer link)

Character that my Mom thinks is the sexiest (I hate using that word anywhere else): Lando Calrissian

ESSAY OF THE WEEK
I feel like reviewing a book I just finished reading the other day, when I had quite a bit of time on my hands during the weekend. Trust me, this is a very good book and I recommend it to every American who knows the slightest bit about current events.

This book written by Orson Scott Card, the prestigious author of Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, would have been a classic had it not been so current and so unlikely to happen (not that it won't, Card puts up a very sufficient case). This book is written as a thriller, and will probably catch the eye of Star Wars fans. I'm not saying that Empire is a cheap copy of the Prequel Trilogy as Eragon was of the Original Trilogy, but Empire does have a few similarities with the universe we obsess with on Star Wars Fanon.

Empire is a very powerful message about modern-day politics and shows us some of our own hypocrisy. It is the adventure of Major Reuben Malich, his wife, and his newly appointed subordinate Bartholomew Coleman (who goes by Cole), as a Second American Civil War erupts after the assassination of the President and a mock-proposed right-wing coup to preserve the Constitution from "the liberals who have twisted it too far." Right after the coup is proposed, high-tech troops that appear to be left-wing conspirators to the main characters invade New York City that just happens to be 5:00 in the morning, when Reuben and Cole are privately touring Ground Zero (where the 9/11 attacks took place) and reflecting upon how they almost prevented another terrorist plot. (You'll find a lot of similarities with Star Wars in this part. The tanks are two-legged walkers that resemble Imperial AT-STs and the soldiers are contained in full-body white armor, complete with a visor that will remind you of Stormtroopers. After catching their breath, one of the protagonists remark that it reminds him of The Empire Strikes Back and the other was thinking War of the Worlds.) You'll find that there could be a secret plot behind everything that was behind every other subtle detail that keeps you reading eagerly, reminiscent of Roman Emperors, such as Julius Caesar and Octavian, (or, in a more Star Warsy perspective, Palpatine) the complicates the plot immensely and gives a mystery-novel quality to the book that makes you wonder what is going to happen next.

Card makes very good use of Google Maps in this book, describing vividly exactly which roads the characters take (having been to Washington D.C., I could follow some of the car chases in my head VERY well), which makes me fell hopefully that the video game (yes, there is going to be one; I'll get to that later) will look like the actual locations in the real world. Another great plus is that, in comparison to some of Orson Scott Card's other works (I'm thinking of the Homecoming series and the Tales of Alvin Maker), Empire does not introduce so many characters that Card doesn't know what to do with them all. In this novel, the characters and their personalities are very well designed, thoughtful, and developed. You don't have to dart back and forth between seven different plots; Empire is very coherent. Now, for those of you who like complex plots, I'll inform you that this book is fast paced and very well-written, and it really does have a storyline that keeps you gripped and thinking like any other book that relies on several parallel biographies to tell a tale and later weave it together. The plot twists in Empire are as thrilling as those in The Da Vinci Code (I didn't really like it too much, but I do admire its usage of plot manipulation) or National Treasure (which I highly adore).

To further add to my praise of this novel, drawing connections to the world as we know it makes the book the must-read contemporary novel. Some very interesting plot details, which I don't want to give away, make you wish you had predicted them because the way the book is written is a lot like what we see among our peers and in the media. Some connections that are ever so subtle can be made in the book, and based on the knowledge we have now, I can bet you for sure that this book's setting takes place in 2008.

I know this because:
 * 1) The main Democratic candidate for president is a "she."
 * 2) They still use Nintendo DSs and PSPs. (If it were 2012 or 2016 there would probably be some new portable device)
 * 3) The current President was Republican.
 * 4) There are hints of a war in Iran, though nothing is stated directly.
 * 5) The Democrats and Republicans are bitter enemies and say slanderous things about each other.

The book introduces the premise that the United States is on the verge of becoming the Not-So-United States, and by that I mean Red State versus Blue State. You can read this book and come to the startling conclusion that perhaps it is a possibility, though it probably won't happen. Look for movie adaptations, the video game, and sequels in the near future. I can tell you, this book, Empire, renewed by obsession in Orson Scott Card's works. And I really hope that the video game will not be rated "M" and that it could be played on the Wii. Some of the thrilling scenes that would obviously be portrayed in a video game would make good use of the Wii Remote's point function and motion sensing.

Empire, it turns out, was not completely Orson Scott Card's idea. Chair Entertainment thought it would be an interesting experiment to create a video game based on a Second American Civil War. Orson Scott Card's assignment was to figure out how a plausible story for such a war could be made, and he did that by making a contemporary thriller novel. In an interview, Orson Scott Card says "the book shaped the video game and the video game shaped the book," and the book turned out as a fantastic novel. With lovable characters, fast-paced action, a plot like that of great literature but a story that could make a fine video game, this book may rival the prevalence and popularity of even Ender's Game. I recommend it to every American who has the slightest interest in Star Wars and the slightest knowledge of current events.

Not that the book is perfectly family-friendly. There is a substantial amount of swearing, at least at the beginning, and there are some violent scenes, which you have to expect from a Second American Civil War. Still, this book is definitely worth reading, and it makes you think about politics in a very different light. C3PO the Dragon Slayer signing out.
