The STAR WARS Saga.......XD

So. I finally have watched the first four Star Wars movies. They are amazingly cool! People have  always said " you haven't watched star wars?" and mum been like, "oh, yeah we should watch them some time.And. Finally we found out that a good friend from church, Kaity King, owned the movies and allowed us to borrow them! Now i don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, so i'll just talk about the characters.Movies 4,5 and 6 were made before the others (1,2,3 are a prequel) so i would suggest watching them first, cos the first three kind of ruin it!

The Characters.(from all movies)

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.



( Liam Neeson!)
This guy is cool! And i love his green light sabre! it's hard though to imagine jean valjean with long hair!
He is one of the lead characters in this movie. He is working with his padawan ( jedi apprentice)
Obi-Wan Kinobi, to save the planet/country of Naboo, ruled by queen Padme Amidala.

Obi-Wan Kinobi



Queen Padme Amadala



The thing about Padme is that her handmaidens, Rabe and Sabe, act as decoys, so, when Qui-Gon lands on the remote, gangster ruled planet of Tatooine, the real queen Padme goes with Qui-Gon, disguised as one of her handmaidens.




Anakin Skywalker.





Anakin is a little slave boy that they meet in Tatooine. Qui-Gon believes that the Force is strong with him and takes him along to train as a Jedi.Usually, Jedi get trained from birth, before they can experiance fear and anger.

Shmi Skywalker.



Anakin's mother. Qui-Gon won Anakin in a bet, but was unable to free Shmi from slavery. Shmi dies in the second movie, Attack of the Clones.

                                            R2-D2 and C-3P0



R2-D2 is a droid who saved Padme's life.He was then allowed to travel with her and the two Jedi.
C-3P0 is a Standered Cybot Galactica protocol droid. These droids are made to be translaters between humans and other space life. Anakin made C-3P0 to help his mother. When Anakin left to train as a Jedi, C-3P0 stayed behind.

                        Lott Dod                                             Rune Haako                           Nute Gunray

    

These weedlesome  three are working for a dark lord, Darth Sidious, and trying to take over Naboo and kill Padme.

Darth Sidious.(the phantom menace!)



The evil one behind everything! but i dont want to give it all away!

Jar Jar Binks.



Jar Jar is a Gungan who is on exile from his home city Otah Gunga, in a swamp in Naboo.
Qui-Gon runs into and saves him.

Darth Maul.



Working for Darth Sidious, he tries to kill the Jedi a few times. Sadly, he manages to defeat Qui-Gon, but is quickly defeated by Obi-Wan.

Boss Nass.

The ruler of the Gungans. Padme pleads for him to ally them in the battle with the droids.

Yoda.



The oldest Jedi master and kind of the "leader".
He speaks like this: "when 100 years old you reach, look as good you will not."                           he's really funny.

Mace Windu.




A Jedi Master.He is one of my favorites.

Padme and Anikan.



"Mawwidge. Mawwidge is wot bwings us togedda touday."  so sweet.

Obi-Wan Kenobi.(later on)



I like him better in the 2nd and 3rd movies.

Anikan. (later on)



Luke Skywalker.



I think i like the other Jedi better, but he's okay.

Leia Skywalker.



Leia is really cool! she's like a kind of supergirl.

Han Solo.



The guy who fly's luke to the rebel base. he's pretty cool. he likes leia. i will say no more.

Darth Vader.



THE VILLAIN. no.not really. i won't reveal.



SO. if you haven't watched them. watch them. YOU WILL watch them.YOU WILL enjoy them.

"...and Mary danced only four dances!..."

I'm going to an english country dance in october! I can't wait!
I am going in a pretty blue flower-patterned Marie Antoinette style dress, made by my amazing sis beth, and adjusted by moi.my sister beth posted pictures of our last one here. I will take as many pics as i can to post here!

And here it is!

Sorry but this was the best photo so you will have to crane your neck a bit! (or tilt your p.c.!)

It has a petty coat thing under neath and then the over part is laced up with a black ribbon.

I just can't wait to wear it and to go to the dance and take heaps of photos for you lovely people to look at!

Guest Post ~ Fan Fic Genre Mix-up

This post was inspired by Anne-girl's post here.

Hello! Ainsley here. My sister, Emily Blakeney, is here for a guest post!

Emily here! Thanks for letting me invade your blog, sis!
So we were playing around this afternoon - we got the idea from Anne-girl's post as linked above (read that post, guys, it's Hilarious with a capital H!) - and here is our result:

The Characters:

Marius Pontmercy - Les Miserables

Anne Shirley - Anne of Green Gables

Gavroche Thenardier - Les Miserables

Gale Hawthorne - The Hunger Games

Sonny-Bill Williams - NZ Rugby Player

Eden Park (Rugby Grounds), Auckland, New Zealand - 2014

Sonny-Bill is tossing a rugby ball around, practising. 

Gale is hiding behind a row of seats, creeping around, looking for Peacekeepers.

Gavroche strides in with a pistol.

Anne Shirley and Marius find each other at the entrance.

Anne is looking for the lake of shining waters; Marius is wondering where the barricade has gone.

Sonny-Bill (to Gale): Oi! What ya doin' up there, bro?

Gale: Are you a Peacekeeper?

S-B: Am I a what-what?

Marius (approaches): What are you doing? Where are we?

S-B: Eden Park! Wanna pass around?

Gale: Wanna what?

Gavroche plays around with his trigger-less pistol.

Anne: Have you seen the Lake of Shining Waters? I seem to have lost my way.

Marius: The Lake of What?

S-B: C'mon! (To Gale) Catch, bro!

Gale doesn't catch. Sonny Bill runs up the field. Soon he comes back.

S-B: Yeah! I got a try, man!

Gale: Well, that's okay; keep trying. What exactly are you trying to do?

Marius: You'll get there one day.

S-B: I got a try! I got the ball over the line! Try! Touch-down! Score! Get the picture?

Gale: Sort of. 

The scene changes. 

Paris, France - 1832

Marius: Ah! Here we are! TO THE BARRICADE!!

Gavroche: Who's there? French Revolution! Yeah! C'mon, boys!

S-B: To the what-what??

Gale (to Marius): Hey! Hey, is this a revolution?

Marius *lowers gun to look at Gale as if he is crazy*: Uh, YEAH!!!

Gale: Oh yeah!!!! At last; I've been waiting for this all my life! At last we can overthrow Snow and be free!

S-B: Dude, it's summer - and we don't get much snow here, anyways.

Anne: Have you seen-

Marius: -the Lake of Silly Waters? No!

Anne: I dropped Marilla's brooch in it - and if I don't find it, she won't let me go to the picnic!

Gale: Who cares? We're revolting here!!

Anne: Yes, you are revolting!

Marius: If you're quite finished - hurry up! We have only fifteen minutes to build the barricade!

Gale: A barricade! Ooh, yeah!! Aw, man! Furniture? That's not very stable; it should be concrete.

Marius: Just move! *begins building barricade, humming Building the Barricade soundtrack*

S-B (To Marius): Hey, dude! What is this, World War 3 or something?

Gavroche: WORLD war?

Marius: Barricade!!!

Gale: Yeah, what he said! Oh, by the way - d'ya have any bombs or anything? We'll need a lot to destroy Snow's Peacekeepers.

Marius: Bombs?

S-B: I told you; there's no snow!

Gale: Or a machine-gun?

Gavroche: Marius! My pistol 'asn't got a trigger!

Marius: Here - take this carbine!

Gavroche: I want a big gun!

Marius *gives Gale and Gav each a large gun*: Here, use these! Get behind the barricade. Save your gunpowder.

Gale: I think I see a Peacekeeper! 

S-B: A what?

Marius (To Anne): Hey, you! Stop picking daisies, and get behind the barricade! You'll get killed!

All are huddled behind the barricade. The scene shifts again.

Avonlea, Prince Edward Island - 18--

S-B: Hey, this dirt is red! Like blood!

Marius: RED! THE BLOOD OF ANGRY MEN! *continues singing Red and Black to himself*

Anne: The Lake!! *runs off*

Gale: What's happening? Have we won??

Marius: THE NIGHT THAT ENDS AT LAST!! 

Gale: Election time!

S-B: What for? It's not til the 20th! By the way, this soil looks volcanic! Mt Eden is a dormant volcano; it's gonna BLOW!!!

Gale: You are so dumb. Dormant volcanoes don't blow! And yet, it could be a trap. 

Gavroche: Volcanoes explode.

Marilla appears.

Marilla: Anne! There you are! *Anne and Marilla leave*

The scene changes again.

The Capitol, Panem - 3015 (or somewhere in the future)

Marius: Where are we now?

Gale: The Capitol! Come on!

S-B: The what??

Anne reappears: Here I am! 

Marius *sighs*: I thought we got rid of you.

Anne *grins*: Nope!

Gale: A hovercraft! Shoot!!!!!

*they shoot*

Marius: Hey, what are those things?

Gale: Bombs! We gotta detonate them! *they shoot and the bombs blow* That'll blow up the Justice Building!

S-B: Okay.......

Gavroche: It's this funny thing again! *finds a rugby ball*

Anne: Shall we go for a stroll to the Dryad's Bubble, and have a picnic!

Gavroche: To the WHAT?

S-B *spots the rugby ball*: MY BALL!!!

Marius: protective about his ball, isn't he?

Gale: Hmph. Unimportant.

They look around and discover that they're back where they started.

Eden Park, Auckland, New Zealand - 2014

Gale: I'm hungry! Is that a rabbit? *races off*

Anne: The Dryad's Bubble! I can see my bosom friend Diana - she is waiting for me! She has something very important to tell me; I can tell by the way she is waving her arms around! *departs, followed by Gavroche.

Marius: The Rue Plumet! Cosette! *leaves*

Sonny-Bill shrugs, and plays around with his ball.

THE END!
