Star Wars explained by a CNET intern who's never seen it

My Name is Pea: A Beginner's Take on Star Wars

I'm Pea, and I have to admit that I've never seen Star Wars before. I've seen posters of Star Wars, lightsabers and other related items at the store when I go to Disneyland, and I've been on a few Disney rides in Tomorrowland. Today, I'll be answering some questions and seeing what I know about this beloved franchise.

The First Impression

As we begin our journey through the world of Star Wars, I'm immediately struck by the robot that leads us through the galaxy. This robot is accompanied by Darth Vader, who seems to be against the Light Side. The term "dark side" makes me think of the Dark Side of the Moon, a concept that's more familiar to me from Pink Floyd's album of the same name. It appears that the dark side refers to a specific ideology or philosophy within the Star Wars universe.

The Jedi and Their Quest

I've heard of Luke Skywalker, who is apparently a Jedi. The Jedi are individuals who practice with the force, fighting on the light side against Darth Vader. As it turns out, Darth Vader is the leader of the dark side and has a unique voice due to his mask. He's also Luke's father, which adds an interesting layer to their relationship.

The Death Star: A Space Station or a Ship?

I'm still trying to understand what the Death Star is. Is it a space station or a ship? I've heard that it's used by Darth Vader to carry out his plans, but I'm not entirely sure what its purpose is. Perhaps it's like a black hole, killing people and destroying entire planets.

The Supporting Characters

There's another robot who seems to be friends with Luke Skywalker. This robot makes a "beep beep" sound, which is kind of familiar to me. Unfortunately, I don't know who made this robot or what its name is. It's also clear that there's a character named Princess Leia, who has been spotted wearing the same hairstyle as mine when I went for Halloween.

Han Solo: The Comedic Relief?

I've seen Han Solo mentioned in conversation, and it seems that he's part of the dark side. He's also known for his comedic relief, which is interesting given his character's reputation. It's possible that he's like a horse-snail mix – a combination of two different creatures.

The Indiana Jones Connection

As I continue to explore the world of Star Wars, I've noticed a connection between it and Indiana Jones. In fact, there seems to be a character named Captain Jesus, who has been spotted alongside George Lopez in some scenes. It's unclear how this connects to the larger universe, but it's certainly an interesting observation.

A Final Thought

I must admit that Star Wars is a pretty intense franchise, especially when compared to other pop culture phenomena. I can see why fans would be justified in spending hours watching all the movies and sequels. As for me, I think I'll stick to my beginner's perspective on this beloved universe – at least for now.

the main protagonist of the Light Side and he's fighting for the good of the world it's a robot that's friends with Luke Skywalker and he does a lot of things I know how he sounds he's like beep beep he looks like Wally not and I'm not really sure who made him or what his name is but he's a friendly Little Robot I don't know what you're talking about that's Princess Leia I've seen her hair everywhere I'm pretty sure I was Leia for Halloween she like married to Darth Vader and then falls in love with Luke Skywalker but that would be weird cuz that'd be like his mom marrying him she turns to the light side I think she was on the dark side I have no idea what his name is he's kind of like the robot like I automatically know who that like that that guy is in Star Wars that's the noise he

Annoying high-pitch voice that doesn't even look like it's from Star Wars I he's like probably a funny character um plays some comedic relief but other than that I have no idea he's probably on the good side too cuz he looks pretty like a good guy I have no idea who that is here is that the guy in IND indana Jones I've been on the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyland that's it Captain Jesus I've never seen that guy before he looks like the comedian George Lopez he's probably a bad character because of those eyebrows and that like really deep Furrow between his like that but it like stretches

Wars is Major in pop culture and there's a lot of sequels and movies I know that I would have to take at least a full day if not like two to watch all those movies and I would like to do that soon May
