Star Wars Universe

He’s a smuggler, a scoundrel, and a pilot who doesn’t take orders well. He’s also brash, cocky, and a bit rough round the edges. Yet to those who know and love him best, Han Solo is also “the good guy” who would not necessarily be “in it for the money,” such as the many times the former scrumrat from Corellia has proven himself to be a great ally to rebels fighting for a better world in a galaxy far, far away.

Before her planet was destroyed, before a new life of purpose found him, before the force filled him, they were a princess, a scoundrel, and a farm boy. Star Wars: A New Hope - The Princess, The Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy give a new telling to the adventures of the movie it is named for.

Obi Wan reflected on what he had seen moments ago. An entity that was too powerful and concealed, perhaps this Titan had been dormant. Now that the Sith's reign no longer exists, it seems something far greater has stepped in its place to rule the galaxy.

Obi Wan was welcomed to the sound of swords swishing, canons unloading aggressively, as well as the sea water slamming against the ship's deck. What he had seen was destined to be destroyed, and now Obi Wan had a purpose beyond his imagination.

For more than 40 years, Star Wars has been a cinematic phenomenon that has captured the hearts and imaginations of moviegoers worldwide.

There seem to be factions that have arisen out of the debates that this franchise has brought up.

As the speed of light in the form of a human returned from a time-lapse-like paradox, the being itself realized that he had created a plethora of worlds behind him. One in which two gods created a child that viciously roamed around the universe maliciously destroying the galaxy piece by piece. In time, this caused dimensions to merge and manifold over one another. To the light being’s surprise, this crack provided a new multi-verse that provided new worlds throughout the galaxy also. In its entirety, it began causing the force to combine with the universe in its infinite.
