There Is Another Skywalker

“There is…another…Skywalker” Though she’s not a Jedi Knight The force is strong in her She fights darkness with the light A woman unafraid of danger Princess Leia is her name The kingdom is at stake She’s out to win this game She has wit, charm and beauty A treat for Jabba the Hut She kills that slimy sick beast Will not sink down into smut She wins the heart of Solo Handsome rebel on the run He brings to life her feelings For his smile rivals the sun She fears her evil father But her brother knows how to save For he is a Jedi knight The force in him makes him brave Star Wars is NOT a movie That you view on some grand screen It is not merely fiction Thought up in someone’s daydream There IS a mighty battle That is fought out every day The good tries to win the fight The bad tries to have full sway The “FORCE” is ever present To give strength to overcome Sure victory is in sight Won by the only true SON We all can be Skywalkers Every day we can decide To join forces with the good And to shun the evil side So, be brave and strong of heart The saber is yours today Go in with a rebel yell FIGHT in the galactic play!

HI EILEEN, yeah, Star Wars Rules:) I agree, I just got stuck with the Star trek contest" Sadly I'm not the oldest one, or else I'd probably would have hosted this one instead. Anyways, I had fun with the Star trek theme LOL, I kid you not. CONGRATS! Love ~SKAT~

:) Thanks Marquis, the religious twist might not be my winning ticket, but....I do believe that Star Wars is a portrayal of the great controversy between good and evil portrayed in the Bible...The saber? The Bible mentions the sword of truth....the discernment that a Jedi Knight has...the awakening of the Holy Spirit speaking to the soul. The Emperor...a fallen being...Satan....So so much in there...Oh well. Thanks for the good wishes! :)

This is fabulous. Love the way you compare Star Wars to the battles we face in real life. A winner for sure :)

Minx...why not? I like any title you give me, Richard...EXCEPT MORBID ORCHID. Use that one and I will pretend I NEVER knew you! ;) You have a lot of explaining to do, Mr Seal...Disappearing for such a LONG time...Hmmmmmmmmm...Yes, I am pulling your ear. Be good!

Nerd poetry. There needs to be more of this. The nerd in me bows to the message here. The force is strong with this one. Well done, my Jedi!!! =D

Yea, you are right, my dear. We see what we want to see! I think I saw bits and pieces of that. I take your word for it! :)

Honestly, rip off of the bible or not, it doesn't matter to me. I watched it because it took me to another place & I loved it there, which is all I care about in a movie. Perception is a funny thing. For me, this is nerd poetry because of the topic matter (Star Wars! Need I say more?!). :) For you, it goes way deeper. And that's totally good too! If you only saw Return of the Jedi, you're doing a disservice by not watching the other 2. Empire Strikes Back is the best of the 3, personally.

BY THE WAY??? Don't tell anyone, but the whole story is really a rip off of the Bible...Hmmmmm...the basic plot. The FORCE? Seriously? You mean the Holy Spirit? OK...I know I'm going to get grilled for this comment, but it's true!!! The great controversy between good and evil...Ok, I can be a nerd too...but not for sci fi! Sorry to burst that bubble! Educate me!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! A HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! NERD POETRY?????? WHAT? Oh Drake!!! I'm laughing out loud here in my room! O OK....the idea came while I was hanging laundry! I have only REALLY watched RETURN OF THE JEDI! BUT BUT BUT....IT BLEW ME AWAY! We watched it MANY times! Was in the States then! That line from YODA! The MYSTERY, I hope the force will see it through to the end!
