Star Wars: Battlefront

In Star Wars: A New Hope by George Lucas contains many fantasy elements, one of the strongest being magic. In fantasy and science fiction movies, magic may be introduced as supernatural powers, the use of a paranormal energy, wizardry, god or god-like force. When a magic element is present, the characters can enhance their natural ability which results in an unexpected plot twist. In Star War: A New Hope, the primary source of magic is the Force. The Force helps Jedi’s and Sith’s develop and…

“When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself”- Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg was very inspired by filmmaking while he was young. He took this inspiration and made his dream come true. After dropping out of college, he worked as an intern at Universal Studios. Then,…

From my experience during the stock market game I found out that the market is very random and could take the wrong turn at any moment. There will be days where the market will just crash on you or it could go the other way around and you could accumulate a ton of profit. At the beginning of the game I didn’t know what to do so I just bought random stocks that the website suggested to me. I got my friend, who was already familiar with the stock concept because he was in Mr. Barton’s Finance…

Leonard Nimoy was 83 years old when he died February 27, 2015. He was known for many things, but acting as Spock in the Star Trek movies was his most famous role. Nimoy decided to pursue acting at a rather young age. He was not afraid to put himself out there and he did by starring in many of his school plays. Although his acting career did not take off immediately he eventually was in many films. Some of the shows he starred in were The Twilight Zone, Sea Hunt, and Bonanza. Leonard Nimoy’s…

For years I have been watching the Star Wars movies, never thinking I would actually see one for the first time in theaters. The last Star Wars movie to hit theaters in my life time was Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in 2005, and it was stinker. If you ask anyone who considers themselves a fan of the Star Wars movies, they will tell you the first trilogy was some of the best cinema ever created, and the second trilogy was in comparison just completely awful. In fact a lot of people wish the…

Jediism is vastly different form Christianity. Let's start with the view of God. Christians believe in a triune God who created the world and is still working in it. Jedi believe in a force that connects everything in the universe. The best definition I have seen is in episode 8 of the StarWars movies when Luke explains it to Rey. There is also no mention of creation just the force. Jedi also believe that when we die we become one with the force no matter what you believe or how you lived your…

look up to the sky and see millions of stars, and I wonder to myself. What makes them light up so bright, and what makes them a star? What does it take to create a star; they just don’t pop out and shine bright. I want to know the process, and how long it takes for a star to be born. I am also curious to know if the star can die. I plan on finding the answer. I believe that they are created by gases and that they die when they use up all of their gases. Stars have had an impact in our society…

There are many theories for how life started on earth. After reading many theories, I found the Lighting and Panspermia theory the most interesting. These two theories made the most sense to me even though they don’t have much in common. The Lighting theory is the idea of chemicals from earth’s early atmosphere working together with chemicals and lighting from erupting volcanoes in order to create the first life on earth. The second theory is the Panspermia theory, the idea that earth’s first…

Astronomy in Yosemite The Sun The sun is a star located at the center of the universe, and without it, there would be no life on Earth. It is the most important source of energy for humans as it provides us light, heat, and more. It can reach surface temperatures of about 5,276 degrees Celsius, and 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit. The composition of the Sun changes slowly as hydrogen is converted into helium in its core; however, it is currently made up of around 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and less…
