jedimara77 | 30 Days of SW

I found the original post at theadorkable.net, and even though I'm already going through my entries on another board, I wanted to post it here, too. :) I'm currently on Day 11, so this is long to get caught up:

Day 1: Your favorite character
Luke Skywalker. When all the other girls were fawning over Han Solo, I was head over heels for the good guy. I loved his earnestness in A New Hope. I felt his pain in The Empire Strikes Back. And I was blown away by his transformation to confident fighter in Return of the Jedi. The EU provided me with more adventures of Luke Skywalker, which is why I loved the EU so much, and why now I'm not as enthralled (I want the OLD Luke, not what he has become). His character is the hero's journey personified, and I cannot imagine ever loving and admiring a character as much as Luke.

Day 2: Your favorite villain
For me, this is easy. I love to hate Palpatine. He is so wonderfully eeeeeeeeevil. And Ian McDiarmid is just perfect. What else can I say?

Day 3: Your favorite diva
In honor of Celebration V taking place here in OrLANDO, I choose the one, the only, Lando Calrissian! Come on, he's got an awesome mustache and he wears a cape. Plus, Lando's not a system, he's a man! A MAN baby!

Day 4: Your favorite moment to mock
IT'S A TRAP!!!!

Day 5: Your favorite pirate
The EU dork in me is going to pick Talon Karrde.

Day 6: Your favorite political entity
And the EU dork in me is going to pick the New Republic.

Day 7: Your favorite creature
Tauntaun, followed closely by varactyl (Boga!)

Day 8: Your favorite movie
This is a hard one for me. I change my mind on this all the time. When I first got into Star Wars, it was ROTJ. But of course I changed my mind and it was ANH, and then ESB. When the prequels came out, all of them became my favorite at one point or the other...but it always went back to ROTJ.
I think my favorite movie has to be a tie between ROTJ and ROTS. I love them both for different reasons. For nostalgia's sake, I'll always turn to ROTJ because it reminds me of when I first got into Star Wars and devouring every single thing about Star Wars I could find, and then I'll put in ROTS because it reminds me of Celebration III, years of anticipation and build-up, and the emotions of watching the last Star Wars movie on the big screen.

Day 9: Your favorite movie character
Obviously it would be Luke Skywalker, but to stave off redunancy, I'm going with Leia. A strong woman in a sci-fi film? Who is allowed to develop a romantic relationship without being defined by it? And is kick ass in her own right? Yeah, I love her.

Day 10: Your favorite EU character
This one deserves it's own entry. Besides, it's long. :D

Day 11: Your favorite weapon
The lightsaber. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.
