Star Wars Creative Writing Examples

One of the most known movie lines of all time is “Luke, I am your father”, found in the movie Star Wars, The Empire Strike Back. In fact, Wizard magazine awarded the Empire Strike as the best cliffhanger of all time. Unfortunately, currently not anyone can share the same thrill as of the people who heard the line when the movie just came out in 1980. The reason for depreciation of the thrill is that everyone is aware of the amazing quote even before watching the movie. In addition, everybody knows that Darth Vader (The warlord of the Dark side) is also Luke Sky walkers (the hero) biological father. Do the two realizations hinder us from the shock that the audience had 30 years ago? What if we could make our own twist? Wouldn’t that be entertaining?
Star wars: The Empire Strike Back was the second movie of the whole Star Wars saga. Empire Strike Back was succeeded by both a sequel and three other prequels. However, the Empire Strike Back is regarded as the element that shaped the Star Wars series. Personally, I owe it all to that one line in the Empire Strike Back. It might sound cheesy nowadays, but when you really think about it, details coming after that one line are like the minor missing pieces of assembling a puzzle. Without the remaining details after the line, one can already imagine how the big-picture would look like. Therefore, changing that one line could completely change the whole saga.
Lets go back to the part where the line takes place, in order to get an idea of how the line affects the whole drama. It is in a Cloud City where Vader and Luke engage in a brutal light-saber duel. Vader cuts of Luke’s hand, disarming him, and reveals he did not kill Luke’s father, but actually he is his father; or in a different scenario Darth Vader is both Luke’s father and mother. Instead of being all “butt-hurt” about the new revelation, Luke begins to feel his ‘father’s’ pain. Luke begins to see through the hate that people feel against his father. The Dark Side term is only used by the Jedi members in reference to those who go against the Jedi’s conservative ways.
Luke could not bear the sight of a grown cyborg weeping. For sure, sympathy was taking a toll of Luke. Moreover, the fact of being introduced to his biological parent, both a father and a mother, wrapped up within a futuristic fully functional hijab was quite disturbing and odd moment, but beautiful nonetheless. Moreover, for the first time, unlike the Jedi’s, instead of going against Vader and labeling him as a bi-curious tyrant, he actually took the time to sit and listen. Luke wanted to know why the Jedi’s were so strongly against the ‘Dark Side’, and the reason for that dreadful name. Luke also wanted to find out who was Yoda, the interesting little green monk that trained him and gave him the skills to vanquish his life giver, and what could he ever have had against his father/mother.
Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) was first seen by the religious group (the Jedi league) when he was nine years of age. He was a slave at a planet called Tatooine, and being raised by his mother Shmi Skywalker. Apparently, there were claims that Anakin had no father, implying he was born through a miraculous birth. At first, the Jedi league showed no interest in the boy, judging by the fact that his mother was known to have an active social life. However, Obi-Wan had a different idea, after realizing that Anakin was a talented engineer and pilot, who could see the future at such an early age. These realizations made Obi-Wan believe that the young boy was the next Christ, and also the fact that the boy showed totally no sign of testosterone, assured him that the boy had no father and was born miraculously. Although the boy was a bit feminine, Obi-Wan volunteered that he would teach him everything he knew, until the day the young boy was old enough to lead the galaxy as the new messiah.
Obi-Wan sticking to his promise tried every drop of his force to stop Anakin’s Bi-curious self. Sadly for him, as days went by Anakin went on endless series of un-ethically disturbing activities, such as; playing tea parties with his android companions, collecting Barbie dolls, knitting pink power-ranger suite and wearing it for Halloween. Obi-Wan despite fighting hard to keep his promise got to a point where he also lost all hope in the next “messiah”.
Living as an outcast, Anakin really needed a friend, a real none robotic male friend, that he never had. Padme Amidala (Luke and princess Lea’s biological mother) was nice to Anakin, but he always thought that she was getting all the attention from the other Jedi’s, so she was more like a “Whore” to Anakin, but a “whore” that she idolized. Anakin really needed someone to talk to, while at the same time scrutinizing Padme’s every move. Therefore, Anakin decided to get himself a pet. He developed a bit of interest in “toy-dogs” while hanging out with his ballet crew. Toy-dogs aren’t really toys, but tiny dogs that the rich girls from her ballet used to dress, carry in bags and then later dump in glitter; practically treating them like royalty for no apparent reason. It felt like love at first sight when he saw the little green pug. With its’ bright shiny eyes, Anakin knew it would become his best friend; he would train it and call it Yoda. As days passed, Anakin’s love for his one and only companion grew and grew every day. The fact that Yoda could not say “I love you” back was unbearable to Anakin. Therefore, Anakin attempted to give Yoda some vocal cords through surgery so he would hear his best friend say those magic words. While he was doing the surgery, he thought of all the things that he would gain if Yoda gained speech. Yoda could become part of Anakin’s “Let’s pretend to be Padme” game and actually act and not just watch, and he could help him decide what to wear by stating his opinion. Anakin couldn’t wait to hear Yoda’s first words. He stood there looking at his trusty companion coming back from the anesthesia only to hear “grow balls, you must!” Young Anakin could not bear what he just heard; he sent his one and only friend to the wild swamps and freed him.
After freeing Yoda, Vader ponders that perhaps freeing the pet was the same problem he was in. Vader realizes that he had been wrong all the time for deciding what and how Yoda should play with him. Vader also pitied himself after considering that Yoda had insulted him because he was to mean as he hindered him from playing in the wild like he would have wanted. Vader also consider the lifestyle he had imposed on Yoda, and he should free him in a swampy planted. Little does Vader realizes that he was doing more harm by freeing Yoda; as needed not to be set free. Due to this Yoda thinks that Vader had left him there to die; as Yoda is not aware that Vader does not realize he is not a wild animal to be freed.
Why everybody was against Vader’s regime became clear to Luke after he finally listened to the other side of the argument. The Jedi league or whatever it may be called was always against Anakin Skywalker’s (Darth Vader’s) bi-curious personality. At first, Obi-Wan thought of it as a phase, but each new day Anakin only became more and more odd in Obi-Wan’s eyes. Obi-Wan chose not to speak about it, as it had become something obvious. Young Anakin was showing that he had some interest in Padme, and which Anakin actually tried to like (interest in Padme); so that the Jedi thought maybe he was really into girls.
Anakin always Idolized Padme in a way that gave obi-wan along with his fellow Jedi’s, a sense of relief and made them think, maybe he is into females. However, the Jedi thought lasted until Obi-Wan heard about Anakin most recent project that didn’t end very well. The Jedi also never knew that Anakin wanted to be princess Padme: Cross-dressing using Padme clothes and going shopping for shoes. He loved the girl, but wasn’t really in love with her. Although, he did keep trying to love the natural way, he later realized that he wanted to be in the bottom. Therefore, he arranged his droids (R2-D2 and C-3PO) to do a sex change. Unfortunately, their ship went through meteor showers and in the process he lost two of his limbs alongside his “force”. Young Anakin screamed for help and Obi-wan rushed to save the next “messiah’, only to see that the Young Anakin was a mess, unbearable to look at. Obi-wan could not believe that young Anakin would go that far. Obi-Wan was angry with Anakin, as he wondered how the next “messiah” could be so gay. He asked Anakin if his actions were in deed of a true messiah. Anakin believed that the one who chose him as the next “messiah” would not let him become someone he was not. Therefore, he concluded that he was not doing anything wrong. The Jedi feared that people would follow this kind of “messiah”, and hence they started trying to ruin his image, in order to hinder him from any followers. Palpatine (the unnamed emperor of the Galactic Empire) offered to help Vader to escape by giving him a futuristic hijab (a dress used by the Muslims to cover up anything that might arouse the male). Young Anakin liked the idea as it made him feel precious, and they run off to their land of freedom. Anakin fell in love with the hijab and decided to wear it forever to hide his deformation. He also decided to change his name to Darth Vader because it was so “exotic”. Princess Padme was appalled by her lover-boy’s choice to leave her and his bi-curious hijab wearing ideology, and thus she committed suicide after having his babies.
The reason why the Jedis used Luke for their dirty-job was because Vader groused them out. They had been exposed to him a lot, which had turned them a bit homophobic. In addition, Anakin was almost unbeatable due to his mixture of ballet and sword fighting. The only one who could keep up with Anakin was Yoda, as Anakin had forced Yoda to train with him. However, they could not actually have an actual conversation with the guy because they did not understand anything he said. Therefore, they dumped everything on the orphan that they were stuck with (Luke). Due to his recent discovery about why people were all against “the Dark Side”, Luke decides that he should fight alongside his transgender parent against the universes conservative party to ensue freedom of choice, speech, religion and sexuality. Anakin and Luke fought for their own definition of good; as sexually confused father and son.
The reason for writing this story is to illustrate how change is indispensable especially in the modern society influenced by change and integration of culture and religion. People have different tastes, choices, ideas, principals; and it is only right if we respect the diversity of ideas as long as they cause no harm to the humanity that brought people to this world. Strike back is perhaps a good revelation of how going against the diversity of tastes, choices, ideas, principals can in reverse haunt us in the future.
