Hey guys!

 

I am a MASSIVE Star Wars nerd. I watch several channels, including Starwars Theory, The Lore Master, The Scoundrel’s Cantina and more! For a school project, I have to work on starwars. Now. Let’s talk some nerdy stuff! 🤓

 

 

Where does Starwars Take Place?

 

Well, Star Wars takes place “a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away”. Star Wars is set between 8 billion BC and 50 million BC relative to earth years. 8 billion is as far as the starwars comics have been told to start. Back then, the Jedi (see next paragraph after What is the Force?) and the Sith (see paragraph under Jedi), whom are two rival groups and ideas who often clash, used sword. Sword are never used in Star Wars. A lasersword, called a lightsaber, which I will also explain, is now used in official and old Star Wars cannon. But certain comics go over the history of Star Wars. These show the Jedi and the Sith using swords, with energy running through them to make them better at cutting. These evolved into a blade of pure energy. A light saber. This shows us that thought the history of starwars, the technology evolves in a very interesting way, and show us how continuously the Star Wars stories have evolved.

 

 

What is the Force?

The force is often the center of Star Wars. Somebody new to Star Wars would say it is a special gift. The movies show us a underpowered version of the force, but they do a very good job at explaining it. It is “life, death, light, darkness, and in between it all, balance”. Star Wars revolves around the balance of the force, the same way Thanos revolves around the balance of the population. See, there are two things: the light side and the dark side.

The dark side. The dark side of the force is often seen as the more powerful of the two, but it simply has a different, more destructive power than he light side. Continuous usage of the dark side can kill a weak being, or hideously disfigure them. The dark side of the force is associated with oppression, hate, anger, fear & hate. Abilities of the dark side include : force lightning, force poison, force choke, force push/pull, force vortex, force fire, force fire and force mind. These abilities are more for murder, whilst the light side abilities are more for peace. A huge thing for the dark side is red lightsabers. They pour all their anger and hatred into the kyber cristal which is what powers the lightsabers, and they shatter its soul. This is a process know as bleeding the crystal, because once the kyber is used in a lightsaber, the blade of the weapon is red.
The light side is shown as the good guy side. It is attributed with justice, hope and goodness. The Jedi, or “good guys” are users of the light side of the force. It gives them the ability to trick your mind, enhance their speed, jump higher, hit harder, manipulate objects (including humans and other beings), blind others with flashes of light, communicate through the force and many other things.
