Are Storm/Clone Troopers Good or Evil?

I got an e-mail today from a boy named Josh, who asked me: Karl, were storm or clone troopers ever good ? I think they were good in the second movie but my dad says they were always evil. From Josh It’s a great question! Sorry, Josh, but your dad, (who will remain safely annonymous on Alderann), is wrong. In fact, it is such a good question, I decided to post my answer here: Josh, When I met George Lucas at the Star Wars Convention, a kid actually asked him whether the storm trooper are good guys or bad guys. His answer was, “They are good guys who follow orders from a really bad guy.” That is the shortest answer, but rather simplistic, but good enough for the little kid who asked. But there is more to that question, and unfortunately, George Lucas is still confused on what he believes about right and wrong. But there is more to the question that I’ll attempt to answer here. (non-Star Wars fans can stop reading here) Here is my a-little-bit-longer answer: It is important to know that there are two types of troopers. (very different and the difference is significant!) The first…

A Monster Truck… for REAL!

Star Wars met Earth on my drive to work yesterday! There I was, drivin’ along in the PK Cruiser, listening’ to talk radio mindin’ my own bizness, when suddenly I see in my rear view mirror great clouds of smoke and explosions and cars careening off of the road… what could be causing all the choas behind me?!?!? It is an alien attack? Will I need a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy?!?!? I whipped out my camera to record what could very well be the end of the earth as we know it… What is that THING?!?! (note camera in shades) With cars flying off the road in every direction, I knew this would be on the evening news, this was my chance of a lifetime to get some rare photos of an alien attack on our planet! Would I survive to tell the tale?!??!! I hit the PK-Nitro-Turbo-Booster, but it was no use this monstrosity of a truck was gaining on me every second! What would I do? Would this be the end??? Surely the Galactic Empire is conquering Earth! Look at the SIZE of those PINCHERS!!! As it got next to me, I prepared to fire my fender-anchored…

It’s great to have friends…

No greater love has a friend, than he (or she) will dress up and go to a movie with you… You will never see a more wretched hive of scum and villiny. For this third viewing of Star Wars Episode III I went with my K.C. Krew (and some adult staff/friends) and several dressed up. We had 30 people at our last count, give or take a kid. Here are a few of the pictures we took. (Not Pictured: The ones not in the pictures) Even the Evil Emperor showed up! And battled his own daughter! I got caught between two dueling wanna-be Jedis! Gotta love these princesses It was great to get to see my Krew before hittin’ the road again in the morning! Off to Michigan for our last church visit and then Cedar Point Roller Coasters! I’m really “Stuck” on this family. :) I’d love to clone this guy… but he already is a clone.

You were like a brother to me!!!!

I, Kar-Dewbenobi, went to see Episode III again on opening night with about a dozen friends. Again, my brother Qui-Jar-Jordan went with me. However, we were glad to be first in line this time so that we would have first choice at our seats. It was several hours before the movie, I knew this would be a good trial for my young padawan brother. Test his patience it would. Failed to notice, did I, my brother brought some dark side with him! As I suspected, the trial proved to be too much. I could sense impatience growing within him. At some point, he said he wanted to be first in line, and I said no. I could see him getting angry. But I wanted to teach my younger brother patience. (and I wanted to be first) When he asked why, and Yoda’s “Ask not why” line failed to have the same effect on Qui-Jar-Jordan as it had on Luke, I explained that I bought the tickets, I drove, and I was the older more experienced Jedi. That seemed to set him off, without warning he pulled out some dark Sith lightening. Turned to the Dark Side my brother has! I’ll…
