I don't know if this is will be as eliquent as Ami's, or as
powerfull as JMF but here goes.......





Luke Skywalker was a better man than his father. He knew how to deal with the pain of the moment when your realize that your innacence of youth has just been shoot to hell. The difference is in their up-bringing.

Luke with his Aunt and Uncle. Anakin was only with his mom until the age of 10. He then was thrust into a world in which he was completley lost.
He tried too hard to please everyone. No one was willing to let Anakin just be Anakin.

Now for Luke,

Luke stumbles accross a recording in R2's memory while cleaning him.
He thinks " all I have to do is return the robot to old Ben. " His uncle tells him to forget it. The droids are theirs now.
R2 leaves to go look for Ben. Luke runs after him. They find Ben and after a while Luke says he needs to head home.

He gets home to find the house burnt to the ground. His Aunt and Uncle dead. He turns to Ben -- there is nothing for me here now. I want to go to Alderan and learn the ways of the force. I want to become a Jedi like my Father.

Along the way he learns: Vader is his father. Leia is his sister. Ben dies at the hands of Vader.( mabey) How does he deal with it all? He leans on his true friends. Yoda, ghostly Ben, Han and Leia.

Myself: my innasense of youth was destroyed about 15 yrs ago.
A lady ( I use that term loosely) I thaught was my friend stabbed me in the back with EVERYTHING I ever said to her. The pain was ..... well.... I would have rather been Anakin burning on Mustafar.
Anyway.. after the dust settled I was left by myself with only my mom to help me deal with the fall out. Thank God for Mom's

Then along came the re-realeas of Star Wars. Star Wars on the big screen.
WoW!! It totally re-juvinated my whole perspective on all the junkd I'd been dealing with.

Who knew this movie about Luke, Leia and Han could make such a difference.
To me Star Wars is therapy. Any one else feel the same?

You all have a wonderfull day. I'll talk to you all later on this afternoon.

Leia

I had a really good cry today. It helped as much as writting this blog.
