Choices Luke Skywalker Made (That Could Have Doomed Everyone)
Luke Skywalker was the ultimate hero of the galaxy: coming from humble beginnings, he learned the shocking truth about his family history, learned to master the Force, defeated the Sith, and led the Rebellion to victory over the First Galactic Empire. He did what his father Anakin could not: he resisted the lure of the Dark Side and the temptation to give in to his own desires, and became the honorable paladin who kept the spirit of the Jedi alive and led them into a new, post-Imperial age.That's not to say that it was an easy road, of course. Luke's resolve to stick to his principles was tested many times over the course of his journey, and while he stood firm in the face of adversity, the fates of both the Rebellion and the Jedi could have gone up in smoke like the Death Star is Luke wasn't up to the task. This book looks at eight major turning points when he could have dropped the ball, dooming everyone he cared about to certain death in the process.This book also includes the Luke Skywalker FAQ!
How the Force Can Fix the World
From widespread unemployment and mounting international hostilities, every day we are swept into more political chaos—so one brave man looks to the Star Wars universe for answers to our most urgent problems. “You can’t stop the change — anymore than you can stop the sun from setting.” Anakin Skywalker was never able to live with this wisdom shared by his mother on the day he left home to train as a Jedi Knight. That failure led him to becoming the fearsome villain we all know as Darth Vader. We’re living in a time of unprecedented and rapid change. An age of chaos. Democracies are in decline worldwide. Dictators are ascendant. Civic organizations are crumbling. People feel lonelier and more rudderless than in any other time in recent history. We’ve tried to slow down, and in some cases we, like Anakin, have tried stop the change, but failed at every turn. The fears that come with living in an age of disruption have produced public anger, and that anger has swelled movements of hate. Author Stephen Kent believes part of the solution is hiding in plain sight. A story that binds together multiple generations with a common language, a moral framework, and a sense of wonder. It’s Star Wars. What if we looked to Star Wars for more than just entertainment? How the Force Can Fix the World takes this challenge on by analyzing the core principles of the Star Wars franchise: HOPE, CHOICE, HUMILITY, EMPATHY, REDEMPTION, BALANCE and rejecting FEAR. Together, these are the Star Wars roadmap for living better lives, and maybe even fostering a better politics. The path that we’re on — where fear leads to anger, and anger to hatred — will only end in suffering. But Star Wars shows us the way back from the brink. Shared stories of virtue that are beloved across cultures and political divides are hard to come by, but Star Wars is one such story. Turn on the news; things are pretty broken right now — but the Force can fix the world.
