Ewoks Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
If your still waiting on finding out what that cryptic statement in my Ewoks post was, wait no longer. Now is when I discuss my involvement in Star Wars. It begins before my earliest memories. As far as I know I've always had this VHS, I assume my parents recorded it at some point when I was very you. This VHS had several movies and specials recorded of television on it, and I loved it. I watched it several times a week in my early years, and later it was always included in the VHS binge watching sessions I would have with my brother on weekends and holidays. Needless to say we wore the tape our several times and my father kept repairing it until it was a useless hunk of plastic. Among the programs recorded on this tape was The Caravan of Courage. So I have the rare …show more content…
All I knew was my father was very excited to share this with me. Its all a blur after that. I wasn't long before I started borrowing Star Wars books and audio tapes for my local library, and my and would buy me the trilogy box sets as they came released and she would buy my the LucasArts Archive collections. Before new it I was know to be a local expert in all things Star War. From that point on friends, family, schoolmates, co-workers, even acquaintances would seek me out when they had questions or just wanted to talk Star Wars. While being our local keepers of the holocron isn't an uncommon theme for EU fans; I'm given to understand it was not always a certainty. While many of my fellow EU fans sought out forums to discuss their Star Wars fanaticism, I was content to teach those around me. My knowledge and opinions on all things Star Wars and LFL was welcomed and respected. Or so I thought.

    As I look up at the sky, which is blood red like the sun stabbed it so it could get away from its eternal partner,I begin to hear the horrible noises of these sky creatures. Their horrible squealing draws everything's attention because it sounds the an incantation to summon the devil from the pits of the underworld. The howling wind joins in trying to make the summoning happening quicker but instead it makes me feel like my ears are going to bleed and starts to cast a sleeping spell on anyone caught in this siren song. The trees become alive to this bewitching tunes as their rodent inhabitants begin to run around trying to attack one another like wolves attacking a deer. Next door the neighbor’s rowdy brats come outside, probably because this is their favorite tune, with their wild and atrocious dog to play game of run around and destroy the yard or as most call it fetch.…

    When I first started Crossfit, everything seemed foreign. Going to the gym left me feeling as if I had entered an entirely different dominion--one in which men and women became beasts, knowing only how grunt loudly while lifting heavy weights at incredible speeds. I started off frightened by the prospect of being isolated in such an unfamiliar setting, but as time progressed, my sense of detachment slowly dissipated. Outgoing as I am, I sought out ways to strike conversation with the “locals.” The first topic I found a mutual interest in was Star Wars; who knew such jock-like people could be such geeks like me?…
