Song for Ultimate star wars

#16 Song for a book

Song
The Imperial march is written and conducted by John Williams for this version which was in Star wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. In the book it mentions the Galactic Empire a few times. The empire plays a crucial role in the star wars universe and the song represents the might of the empire and control over the galaxy. It is also a really nice piece to listen to. The book is overall very interesting to read.

Review of Ultimate Star Wars

Review of ultimate star wars


This book is a reference book for star wars. It is really good because it tells you most things that are not in the movie, and the layout is really easy to use. For example:

Example of characters and creatures part
There is an appearance tab, and a manufacturer tab if it is a droid or species tab if it is living. It has a type tab or homeworld tab and an affiliation tab example: Galactic republic, Rebel Alliance.
At the start of the book, there is a foreword by Anthony Daniels who played C-3PO in all the movies, and was the only one to be in all the movies.

There are three parts in the book, Characters and Creatures, Technology and Vehicles. The main characters in both the two trilogys have a timeline.

Goodnight Mr Tom Obituary and How it was hard to write characteristics of Will


Goodnight Mr Tom

In this book, many characters die. Five People die in the book making it a really sad story.
(George’s brother, Mrs Hartrige’s husband, Zach, The mother of Will,  Will’s sister)
Will’s names: Wille, William, Will

Obituary of Zach

ZACH DIES
This morning, the Littles reported that their ex evacuee, Zach, got killed going home to see his father after he was injured by a bomb. The news hurt Zach’s friends (William, Carrie, Ginny, George) and please do not remind William about this. He is going through a hard time due to his loss and has to have some time alone. Please also do not mention to the Littles about this news.
The village times, Little Weirw­­­­old

 How it was hard to write the characteristics of Will (In the opinion of the author, Michelle Magorian)

I thought it was really hard to write the main character Will. He dramatically changed throughout the story. I think he was really hard to write because he kept on changing, getting happier, and doing unexpected things. I also found it hard to do Tom because he also had one thing in common. They both had losses that would be hard to accept, but they both accepted it in the end as before they pretended their loss didn't ever exist. Will keeps on changing, even his name! He was originally called Willie Beech. When his happiness shatters it was hard imagining what he would be after since he thought he killed his younger sister. Sad or really sad. But then he got happier again, until Zach dies and they both have to accept their losses.
