Gospel of Luke

Before Luke became a Jedi and savior of the galaxy he was a simple farm boy on a moisture farm. He was completely unaware that his actions would change the world around him. As the R2 unit his uncle chose had a malfunction he picked out R2-D2. This little droid would cause him to change his perspective and meet his father. When Old Ben (Obi-Wan Kenobi) ask him to go to Alderan with him he refuses because his Aunt and Uncle still need help on the farm. Luke finally goes when stormtroopers kill…

Marvel brings us to the close of Kanan's Clone Wars experiences with issue #11 of the fierce Jedi's monthly title. The talented Greg Weisman (Starbrand & Nightmask) is the storyteller.

The inevitable conflict with General Grievous and another mysterious warrior occurs! It's a Star Wars adventure which takes us from the Republic to the…

In both Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Star Wars our protagonists Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker can each be considered a “chosen one” due to their characterizations. Each creator has followed a similar framework that structures their emergence to becoming a chosen one which results in noticeable parallels between the two. Neither of the boys have a comprehensive understanding of their own history, as they are both considered orphans who were raised by extended family, they also…

Things changed after Order Sixty-Six…fall of the Republic…the fall of the Jedi…and the rise of the Galactic Empire. I remember that day, my parents were both Jedis in love, but they kept their love a secret along with my existence. By the age of eight, my parents always told me after the war, they would leave the Jedi order and be a real family. Then that day came, peace talks began; the war came to a close. My parents took me to the Jedi temple to face the Jedi council when the war ended, but…

This archetypal model is reflected in Star Wars: Episode 4. The returning wanderer is Obi-Wan Kenobi, as until Luke found him, Kenobi lived in isolation. This was due to the loss of a battle with Darth Vader. Through conversation Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to guide Luke, because of his past relationship with Luke’s father. He is now returning not only because he feels he owes it to Luke and society to deal with the evil he let fester, a.k.a Darth Vader but also because Princess Leia requests his…

Accessibility will bring in the masses initial, but depth keeps players around for the long term. The Beta suggests that Dice may have crafted a beautiful and enjoyable experience, but not a truly engaging game. Controlling Both Vader and Luke was a fun novelty feature, but this doesn't change the overall feeling towards my time with the Beta being a little underwhelming. Fun, fast but lacking a real identity or focus. Battlefront could quite easily end up becoming another flash in the…

The book Star Wars: Thrawn by Timothy Zahn is a well written book about Thrawn and Eli Vanto, two soldiers in the Imperial Navy. It is a canonized twist on the story of a popular character, Grand Admiral Thrawn, in the Star Wars fan base after Disney bought Star Wars from Lucasfilm. (In this case, canon means what did or didn’t happen in Disney’s Star Wars universe, not Lucasfilm’s.) Eli Vanto wanted to be a supply officer in the Imperial Navy, but on an assignment to a backwater planet, his…

is all about the arrival of messaiah, the savior, his birth, his suffering and his death. Whereas in the new testament, the Jesus of Nazreth called his listeners to repentance in anticipation of the imminent arrival of the God’s kingdom. There are gospels in the new testament indicating the Christ communicating the message that the god kingdom is arrived and it is to be…

Crucifixion represent Christ’s victory over death. In the uppermost panel of Christ seated with and aura and halo on his head, we can find some symbolism. Christ is surrounded by a man, eagle, ox, and a lion, symbolizing Matthew, John, Luke, and Mark, the four gospel writers. (St. Louis Art Museum. “Lancet Redemption Window”) The “Lancet…

clinicals out of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics where there is a completely different flow to the day. At St. Lukes the first thing that I had completely forgotten about was free parking. At the University Hospital it can cost up to $18.00 a day. So parking at St. Luke’s was a pleasant surprise. The other big difference is the setup of the unit. St. Lukes has long hallways that are confusing to see the beginning and the end of the unit. I was not in the right place and was a…
