What better way to start a blog than my newest obsession? I began watching the Star Wars movies, episodes 4-6, last week. I instantly became addicted, to one character in particular: Princess Leia. To me, she is the Princess that the tomboys of the world, myself included, can look upon with pride. She shows that not all movie princesses wear ball gowns and have people to wait on them hand and foot. She's strong, courageous, intelligent, resourceful, and level-headed throughout all of the movies. And she's a good shot. That's considered something to be proud of out here in Hicktown, USA.
But she isn't all I love about the movies. I'm a big fan of science fiction in general, but there's just something about Star Wars that captures my interest. I'm one of those people who are bored watching movies that are predictable, and science fiction movies seem to have become just that. I've watched enough SciFi that I've gotten to the point where I can pretty well guess what will happen long before it does in a lot of movies. Star Wars didn't disappoint me like many science fiction movies do.
The characters were also very entertaining. Though my favorite character, obviously, is Leia, I was a big fan of R2-D2, Chewbacca, and C-3PO. And even Han Solo, who I thought was a jerk at times. I have a soft spot for the Ewoks, too. Awfully plucky spirits for creatures that look like big teddy bears.
So my question to you is: What were your favorite characters, and why?
