Favorite Songs

Just to have something to sort of write about -haha- here are some of my favorite songs and respective music genres.  I'm sure you'll notice that Country Music and Christian Contemperary Music is at the top, but the music I am listening to is expanding.

So if you read this and watch some of the videos don't forget to subscribe and +1 this page.  Leave a comment at the bottom to let me know what are some of your favorite songs.

So here we go:


      Now this first one comes from the group Mighty Oaks.  It is called Brother.  In case you haven't caught on yet, the concept of Brotherhood is extremely important to me.  Brothers aren't based on blood, they are your closest friends who have been there for you through everything.  Now I love my two blood brothers a lot, but I also have best friends who are brothers to me.
      One of the surprising things that I have learned is that there are very few country songs that are about Brothers, which I think is weird.  If you know of any other songs about brothers, drop them in the comments.

      This song comes from the group Downhere and is called How many Kings?.  This song was recommended to me a couple months ago, but it is still one of my favorites.  It talks about the love that God has for his creation, by sending his one and only son to die on a cross to become the perfect sacrifice for humankind.  This is a really good song.

      Well as a history major - haha - I gotta put one of my favorite Billy Joel songs on this list.  It's called We didn't start the Fire.  I love this song so much.  It is fast paced and has so much history packed into this song, describing stuff that happened in the world starting at the end of World War II to more of the modern era.

      I just really like this song by The Animals called The House of the Rising Sun.  It is an interesting song, that has just the right pacing.  The lyrics are very interesting to listen to as well.  I also love the instruments they use in this song.  Plus The Animals are pretty good anyway.

      Gosh I love this song.  It is called Drive by Alan Jackson.  I love listening to this song when I'm sitting up here in my dorm room thinking about home, or when I go on a long road trip.  This song reminds me of home so much.  It makes me happy to listen to this one - haha.

      Oh George Strait is definitely one of my favorite Country Singers.  This song is called True.  I just love the lyrics and the music to this song.  It has a nice beat and good theme, like all good old real country songs have.  George Strait is the best - haha.  What are some of your favorite Country Songs?  Drop them in the comments.

      Then of course there are The All-American Rejects.  This song is Move Along and I love it.  This song has a really good life lesson in it.  Leave that up to you to decide what that it is though :)
The All-American Rejects are one of my favorite bands.  They have a lot of really good songs.  But this one is probably my favorite one by them.

      I think that most people would agree with me that the Tarzan's songs were some of the best in the Disney Movies.  This is just one of the great ones by Phil Collins called Strangers like Me.  This song has a lot of good themes in it, and just really good music; and the lyrics are spot on.  What are some of your favorite Disney movie songs?  Put them in the comments :)

      David Crowder is amazing, and has always been one of my favorite Christian Contemporary artists.  This song is called Come as you Are.  This song speaks deeply to me and the story of how God has worked wonders in my life.  I love this song so much.  It reminds me that yes, I have a loving God who does care about me, even though I live in a broken world.  Yes, David Crowder's song is a very good one.

      Oh, how I love this song.  It is called Grace Wins by Matthew West.  I really love this song.  The song starts kind of looking down on yourself, as we often do.  However, when you get to the chorus it reminds us of hope and the grace of a loving God.  This song speaks a lot to me and to the journey that I have walked so far in my life.  I especially love towards the end of the song how it lists all the people who were saved by Grace.  This song is fast paced, but so spot on.  I love it a lot.

So yeah.  Those are some the songs that I really like listening to.  Don't forget to subscribe to this page and +1 it.  If you found this post on Facebook, share it to your timeline.  Comment down below or on Facebook some of your favorite songs that you love listening to.  If there are a few things in the world that can bring people together, it is music.

HAVE AN EPIC DAY!!! :D

Top 10 things I love about Indiana

Indiana is my home.

So last weekend, my home county was celebrating the Indiana Bicentennial.  I unfortunately could not be there to celebrate in person because of school.  Thanks to technology, I was at least able to watch some of the things they were doing back home on a live stream.

The thing I was watching was a celebration put together, that brought multiple bands and choirs in my home county to Grace College.  I was able to listen to this concert.  It was from this concert that I was truly reminded why I love my home - why I love Indiana - so much.

So start the video for some background music :)   and read on :D

Here are just a few things that I love about my home:

1.
When stuff begins to get harvested.  I have always loved how the light brown color reflects the sun off of the crops.  It looks like a sea of gold, shinning beautifully throughout the day.  Surprisingly, it took me a while to find a picture that shows this.

2.
Autumn in Indiana is one of the coolest seasons.  Stuff starts to get a little chillier, but the life around us begins to change from lively green, to all sorts of colors.  The top picture is more what it is like in Northern Indiana; the bottom is more what it is like in Southern Indiana (Brown County).

3.
Another beautiful part of life here are the bonfires and campfires.  Fire is a beautiful thing to watch; it's very calming to watch the flames licking the air around it.

4.
When winter hits, and the trees are covered in snow, and the branches are encased in ice.  When this happens, mixed with the white color of the snow, the sun reflects beautifully on it - almost blindingly.  And occasionally there are few wild turkey's lol :D

5.
Spring time.  Haha, spring is probably the best season of the year!!  My favorite tree starts to bloom.  I can start getting ready to plant my garden.  Basically it is the rebirth of life.  Haha, Indiana is a metaphor :)

6.
And then there is summer.  Where we go camping, enjoy nature, and enjoy the company of our friends and families.

7.
And of course the best things about Indiana are the Sunrises...

8. And Sunsets!

9.
But I could never forget about the wildlife.  The birds, the squirrels, the wild turkeys, the raccoons, the deer, and so many others.

Yes I have a fascination with cardinals :)

10.
 The blue skies, speckled with white clouds.  The calming breeze of wind brushing over your shoulder.  The rustling of the leaves on the tree.  The birds singing in the distance.  The coolness of the green grass.  The life all around you.  The place that I call my home.  Indiana

Two hundred years old,
She will forever be home,
My beloved home...

Indiana.

Top 10 Characters from the Star Wars Universe (cannon and noncanon) - June 20, 2016

****SPOILERS****

It should be noted that most of the following information has come from multiple sources, the biggest of which is Wookiepedia - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
There are over a thousand different characters in the Star Wars Universe, so to narrow them to a top 10 is fairly difficult.  The following are some of the more interesting characters that I think play some of the most significant roles in the Star Wars Universe:

10. Ashoka Tano

• I believe that Ashoka Tano plays a significant role in the Star Wars Universe because she was one the founding members of the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire.  Ashoka Tano was once a Jedi who fought during the Clone Wars.  She was the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker.  Near the end of the Clone Wars she was framed for bombing the Jedi Temple, and though she was proven innocent, she left the Jedi Order which further contributed to Anakin Skywalker's distrust with the Jedi.  After Order 66 and the fall of the Jedi Order, along with the Old Republic, Ashoka returned to help her friend Bail Organa, which would eventually set up an amazing confrontation between her and Vader.
• More Information: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Ahsoka_Tano

 9. CT-7567 aka Captain Rex

• CT-7567, nicknamed "Rex," was a veteran clone trooper captain who commanded Torrent Company of the Grand Army of the Republic's famed 501st Legion during the Clone Wars.  He fought alongside General Anakin Skywalker and Commander Ashoka Tano.  After the Great Jedi Purge, he and a couple other Clone Troopers retired to the Planet Seelos.  Eventually he got involved in the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire.
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/CT-7567

  8. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader

• Anakin Skywalker was a force-sensitive human male who served the Galactic Republic as a Jedi Knight, and later the Galactic Empire as the Sith Lord Darth Vader.  He was believed to have been conceived by the force itself and at a young age was made a member of the Jedi Order.  Skywalker was hailed as the "Chosen One" who was destined to bring balance to the force.  Anakin was the apprentice of Obi-wan Kenobi and the master of Ashoka Tano.  Anakin was a great General of the Clone Wars, and was the General over the 501st Legion - led by Captain Rex, until his retirement and Commander Appo replacing him.  Anakin was seduced by the dark side and became Darth Vader.  Vader helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights.  Darth Vader's master was Darth Sidious.  Vader led a group of soldiers called Vader's Fist - which was originally the 501st Legion. 
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker

  7. Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious

• Sheev Palpatine at an early age became the apprentice to Darth Plagueis, eventually taking on the persona of Darth Sidious.  Sidious killed his master in his sleep, and became the next Dark Lord of the Sith.  Darth Sidious, under the persona of Palpatine, became the senator from Naboo, and eventually elected as the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.  Darth Sidious organized the war that became known as the Clone Wars - in order to destroy two enemies with a single stroke (the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic).  He had three apprentices - Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku), and Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker).  At the end of the Clone Wars, Palpatine made the Galactic Republic into the Galactic Empire; and declared himself the Emperor.  He used the remaining Clone Armies and Darth Vader to wipe out the Jedi Knights in what was classified as Knightfall, and became known as the Second Great Jedi Purge - when the clones inhibitor chips (in their brains) were activated with the Order 66 contingency protocol.  Emperor Palpatine led the Galactic Empire until he was killed by a redeemed Anakin Skywalker.
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Sidious

  6. Bastila Shan

• Bastila Shan was an extremely gifted Jedi Knight from the Old Republic era.  She had a powerful Battle Meditation ability - making her able to use the force to give courage and bravery to those she fought with.  She lived during the end of the Mandalorian Wars, and became a key leader during the Jedi Civil War.  She and a Jedi Strike Team captured an injured Darth Revan, and brought him back to the council - where they used the force to reprogram his mind.  Bastila watched Revan regain his former power as she and his companions hunted star maps that would lead to the ancient Space Factory/Weapon called the Star Forge - which the Sith Empire was using to create an infinite number of battle cruisers.  Bastila was captured by Darth Malak (Revan's former apprentice) after Malak revealed to Revan who he truly was.  Darth Malak tortured Bastila until she fell to the Dark Side of the Force.  She fought for the Sith during the final battle of the Jedi Civil War.  She was confronted by a redeemed Revan, who in turn redeemed Bastila from the Dark Side.  As Revan went to defeat Malak, Bastila used her Battle Meditation to allow the Republic Fleet to defeat the Sith and eventually destroy the Star Forge.  Bastila and Revan eventually became married.  But Revan disappeared when Bastila gave birth to their son - to fight a bigger threat (the True Sith).  Bastila would eventually seek out the Jedi Exile Meetra Surik, and after Meetra saved the galaxy from the remnants of the Sith Empire under Malak, would send her into deep space to find Revan.  Neither were seen for a long time. 
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bastila_Shan

  5. Yoda

• Grand Jedi Master Yoda was a legend to say the least.  He was one of the most powerful force wielders of his time, and lived for over 900 years.  He trained Jedi for hundreds of years.  His last formal apprentice was Count Dooku.  He led the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars and gave council to those he fought alongside with  - taking great care of his clone troopers.  He valued life, but only towards the end of the Clone Wars he became troubled.  He believed that he and the Jedi Order had become the very thing that they sought out to destroy - the Sith.  He believed that the Jedi were consumed by fear - and in so doing, they were consumed by the Dark Side (As fear is the path to the dark side...).  Yoda watched as heart breaking events unfolded around him during the Great Jedi Purge, as the Jedi Order was virtually destroyed.  He fought with and attempted to kill the new Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), and lost.  He exiled himself to the Outer Rim world of Dagobah.  In the last days of the Clone Wars (before he arrived on Dagobah), Yoda trained under the guidance of the Force Spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn - to learn the path to immortality.  Yoda would eventually train the son of Anakin Skywalker - Luke Skywalker - to become the last of the Jedi.  Yoda would become one with the Force right before the last battle of the Galactic Civil War - the Battle of Endor; but would live on in his Force Spirit form to continue training Luke.
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Yoda

  4. Obi-Wan Kenobi

• Obi-Wan was born on the planet Stewjon, and was brought to the Jedi Temple to be trained early in life.  He eventually became the apprentice of Qui-Gon Jinn.  He participated in the Invasion of Naboo - and as a result met his future apprentice Anakin Skywalker.  After Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul - and Obi-Wan supposedly killed Maul - he took Anakin (the Chosen One) as his apprentice.  Obi-Wan found the lost planet of Kamino and the Clone Army that was made for the Galactic Republic.  Obi-Wan would track the Bounty Hunter and Clone Trooper template Jango Fett to the outer rim world of Geonosis, where the Clone Wars began.  He and Anakin would chase down the Separatist leader Count Dooku to bring an end to the Clone War.  Obi-Wan would help Anakin teach his own apprentice - Ashoka Tano - who eventually would leave the Jedi Order near the end of the Clone Wars.  Obi-Wan would become rivals with the Separatist general, Grievous.  Obi-Wan would also lead his own 212th Attack Battalion of Clone Troopers led by CC-2224 (nicknamed Cody).  The 212th and 501st would fight side by side in many battles during the Clone Wars.  By the end of the Clone Wars, Chancellor Palpatine was "captured."  Obi-Wan and Anakin would save him - ending with the death of Count Dooku.  General Grievous would escape, and become the leader of the Separatist.  Obi-Wan would track him down to Utapau, where he would destroy him.  At this time, Darth Sidious would execute Order 66 - initiating Operation Knightfall.  The Jedi Order was virtually destroyed.  Obi-Wan was given one final mission - to kill his fallen apprentice who had taken on the persona of Darth Vader.  They fought on the planet Mustafar, where Vader had his limbs cut off and left to be burned alive.  Obi-Wan then escorted the dying wife of Vader - Padmé - to Polis Massa, where she gave birth to twins - Luke and Leia.  The children were separated - Leia going with Bail Organa to Alderaan and Luke with Obi-Wan going to his family on Tatooine.  Obi-Wan would watch over Luke and protect him.  He would also learn from the Force Spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn the path to immortality.  Obi-Wan eventually left Tatooine with Luke, to return the tactical plans of the Galactic Empires Super Weapon (Death Star I) to Princess Leia Organa.  They were caught in the Death Star's tractor beam and brought aboard.  Obi-Wan went to deactivate the tractor beam as Luke and the smuggler Han Solo went off to save Princess Leia.  Obi-Wan entered into a final dual with Darth Vader, where Vader slayed him.  Obi-Wan became one with the Force and became a Force Spirit.  He would guide Luke throughout his journey to destroy the Empire.  Obi-Wan would also guide the redeemed Anakin Skywalker on the path to immortality.  Obi-Wan is probably one of the most uncorruptable Jedi Knight to ever live; and one of the most powerful - during the Clone Wars at least.  
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Obi-Wan_Kenobi 

  3. Meetra Surik/The Exile

•  Meetra Surik was a great Jedi General during the Mandalorian Wars, and a close friend of the Jedi Knight Revan. She was there during the final battle of the war, at Malachor V.  She authorized the use of the Mass Shadow Generator, which crushed the gravity surrounding the planet - killing everyone (Republic/Jedi and Mandalorian) who got caught in its grasp.  The large amount of death caused Meetra to cut her connection to the Force - nearly killing herself in the process.  She was then brought before the Jedi Council and put on trial - as the Jedi Civil War was beginning with Darth Revan at the head.  She was exiled by the council, and stripped of her title.  She left for the outer rim.  Then she returned to the Core worlds, en-route to Telos' Citadel Station, where Admiral Carth Onasi and Jedi Knight Bastila Shan would soon arrive to speak with her about finding Revan.  Meetra was sent on a journey to destroy the last remnants of Darth Malak's Sith Empire - led by the Sith Triune (Darth Traya, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Sion).  She killed Darth Nihilus over the Citadel Station on Telos.  Afterwards she spoke with Admiral Onasi about Revan.  She then left to finish off the Sith Triune.  It ended where Meetra's Exile had begun - on Malachor V.  She killed Darth Sion - who in a way loved her (and she in a way redeemed him before he died).  She then fatally wounded Darth Traya - who had pretended to be a friend throughout most of her journey.  Traya then gave Meetra a vision of the future that was to be - even describing parts of what would happen thousands of years later during the Clone Wars, with the death of the Jedi Knights.   After Darth Traya died from   her wounds, Meetra left Malachor V - activating the Mass Shadow Generator and practically destroying the entire planet.  Meetra disappeared into deep space, searching for Revan.  To which she found him - along with the True Sith Empire, led by the Sith Emperor Lord Vitiate.  She freed Revan with the help of the Sith Lord Scourge and attempted to kill the Sith Emperor, but Lord Scourge betrayed the two - killing Meetra and knocking Revan unconscious.  Meetra became a Force Spirit, who helped Revan survive during his imprisonment in the Sith Empire, until he was released by a Jedi Knight.  Then Meetra became one with the force.  
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Meetra_Surik

  2. Tenebrae/Lord Vitiate/Sith Emperor/Valkorion

• Tenebrae is old old old...  He is also probably one of the smartest Sith Lords to ever live in the Galaxy.  Tenebrae proved himself to the then Dark Lord of the Sith Marka Ragnos, and earned the new persona of Lord Vitiate.  Ever since the fall of the first major Sith Empire after the Great Hyperspace War, Lord Vitiate used his powers to wipe out all life on his home planet - including the lives of the thousands of Sith Lords that were tricked into coming to his planet.  This made Vitiate immortal.  He then gathered the remnants of the Sith Empire and brought them to Dromund Kaas - a planet deep in the unknown regions.  Lord Vitiate proclaimed himself the Sith Emperor, and construction of the new Sith Capital - Kaas City - began. The Sith Emperor created structure to his empire, and delved deep into ancient Sith magic - becoming more powerful.  He eventually tricked the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders to invade the Galactic Republic - to weaken them.  The Mandalorians were defeated at Malachor V - at the end of the Mandalorian War.  They survivors were pursued by the Jedi Knights Revan and Malak - along with their Republic Fleet.  Revan and Malak stumbled upon Dromund Kaas and planned on killing the Sith Emperor.  The Emperor corrupted them and sent them back to the Republic to find the Star Forge and to prepare a massive fleet to destroy the Republic - and they would be reinforced by the True Sith.  Revan and Malak left; and what the Sith Emperor wanted did not happen - as what became known as the Jedi Civil War had begun.  The war ended with the destruction of the Star Forge, setting back the Sith Emperor's plans.  Eventually Revan returned, in an attempt to kill the Emperor alone.  Revan was captured, but showed considerable resilience to the dark side.  Eventually Revan was set free again, by help of Meetra Surik and Lord Scourge.  The three attempted to kill the Sith Emperor - almost succeeding, until Lord Scourge betrayed them, killing Meetra and allowing the Sith Emperor to capture Revan again - this time imprisoning him in a deep sleep.  The Sith Emperor would feed off of Revan's incredible power for three hundred years.   Then the Sith Emperor invaded the Republic - the True Sith had returned.  After thirty years of war - known as the Great Galactic War - the Emperor made peace with the Republic, with the Treaty of Coruscant.  Then what was called the Cold War began.  During this, a Jedi Knight rose in power and eventually led the Republic Fleet to Dromund Kaas.  The Jedi Knight "killed" the Emperor's body, but his Spirit lived on and floated off.  The Sith Emperor later returned with a vengeance - and Revan was at the forefront of the fight - nearly losing himself in the process.  The Emperor was defeated again by the Jedi Knight and his allies - a mix of Jedi and Sith alike; as well as Revan.  The Emperor's spirit returned to his hidden body on the Planet of Zakuul - where he had built a hidden Empire known as the Eternal Empire.  He had actually been building this Empire for as long as he had been building the Sith Empire.  The Eternal Empire was his true Empire, and where his true body was.  On Zakuul he went under the persona of Valkorion, where he had twin sons and a daughter.  He sent his sons and armies into the Republic and Sith Space, to not only exact his vengeance, but to also show the Galaxy that he was not to be trifled with.  However, Valkorion's son - Arcann - was fueled by the Dark Side, and attacked his father - only to be countered by his brother Thexan, who was killed in the duel.  Valkorion kept Arcann close to him, but when an outlander and a Sith Lord were brought before Valkorion, they recognized him as the Sith Emperor Lord Vitiate.  The Sith Lord attempted to kill him, but was killed by Valkorion's guards.  Then the Valkorion offered the outlander a chance to take part in the glory of his empire if he kneeled.  It's unsure what happened, but whatever was said was cut short, as Arcann again attacked Valkorion - killing him and taking command of the military of the Eternal Empire while his sister became the Emperor.  Even though Valkorion's final body was destroyed, his Spirit lived on until it was destroyed in 67 BBY (before battle of Yavin) - possibly by another Sith of the Time - meaning that he lived for 5,046 years.  He was the only Sith to almost achieve immortality.
• http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Valkorion

  1. Revan

•  Revan was power; when you looked at him it was like looking at the heart of the Force - Kreia (Darth Traya).  Revan was a Jedi Knight during the Old Republic Era.  He led the Jedi Order to aid the Galactic Republic in their losing fight against the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders.  Revan and his friends Malak and Meetra Surik, became great leaders during the war.  Revan proved himself as a superior strategic commander, able to defeat his enemies quickly and with force.  Revan was incredibly charismatic, able to make hundreds of thousands of soldiers follow him into battle, and to their deaths.  Revan killed Mandalore the Ultimate - the leader of the Mandalorians - on Malachor V, right before the Mass Shadow Generator was activated and Malachor V was destroyed.  Revan and his Republic Fleet then chased down the remnants of the Mandalorians.  Revan and Malak then stumbled upon Dromund Kaas, and attempted to kill the Sith Emperor, but he was too powerful and corrupted them.  The Sith Emperor sent Revan and Malak (along with their Republic Fleet) to find the Star Maps that would lead them to the Star Forge.  They found the Star Forge and began creating a massive invasion fleet.  But Revan was able to break free from the Emperor's grasp.  He invaded the Republic, not to destroy it - but to save it.  He only attacked strategic planets - and placed military bases on them in defense of the eventual invasion of the True Sith.  Malak believed that Revan had betrayed the Sith Emperor and was forging his own Sith Empire - to which Malak betrayed Revan, and fired on his flagship while a Jedi Strike Team led by Bastila Shan had kept Revan occupied.  Revan's mind was destroyed, and he was nearly dead - but Bastila saved him.  She brought him to the Jedi Council, who reprogrammed his mind with the force - giving him loyalty to the Republic.  Bastila watched over him from the shadows, to make sure that he didn't fall back into his Sith ways, though at the time he had no knowledge of the Force.  When Malak began hunting down Bastila, he engaged the ship that she, Captain Carth Onasi, and Revan were on - The Endar Spire.  The ship was destroyed and Carth and Revan escaped in an escape pod to the planet of Taris below.  They began searching for Bastila and saved her.  They escaped the planet just in time, before Darth Malak reduced the Planet to ash with his Sith Armada.  Revan then arrived on Dantooine, where he was trained as Jedi - quickly mastering his training.  He was then sent on a mission to find the Star Forge.  Eventually they were captured by Darth Malak, and Malak revealed to Revan who he truly was.  With some of Revan's memories coming back, he watched as Bastila sacrificed herself for Revan and Carth to escape Malak's flagship.  They escaped and ended up on the planet where the Star Forge was located.  They eventually made it to the Star Forge, after learning that Bastila had fallen to the Dark Side.  Revan loved Bastila, and when he confronted her on the Star Forge, he convinced her to come back to the Light Side, claiming that their love for each other would save them both.  Bastila then used her Battle Meditation for the Republic to win the fight, as Revan fought and defeated Darth Malak.  Revan and his crew then escaped the Star Forge as it was destroyed by the Republic Fleet.  After the Jedi Civil War, Revan and Bastila became married.  Revan's memories began to return, and remembered something awful.  He began retracing his steps - to Malachor V - where he rediscovered the Trayus Academy - where Darth Traya spoke with him about the True Sith Empire that he had found.  Revan returned to the Core Worlds, and found his Mandalorian friend Canderous Ordo.  He helped Canderous reclaim the mask of Mandalore, so he could unite the clans against the True Sith Empire.  Revan then left known space and fought the Sith Emperor, showing incredible resilience to his powers.  He was imprisoned for a time, and was set free by Lord Scourge and Meetra Surik.  The three attempted to kill the Sith Emperor, but Meetra was killed and Revan was imprisoned - with the Sith Emperor feeding off his power.  This made a connection between the minds of Revan and the Sith Emperor - to which Revan exploited, to make the Sith Emperor not attack the Republic for 300 years; and even after he did attack, he managed to convince the Emperor to make a peace treaty with the Republic.  Revan was eventually set free by a Jedi Knight, and at first was mad - but he realized that the true war that he had been preventing had already begun.  Revan then left and activated one of his factories that made during his reign as Sith Lord - where his assassin droid HK-47 was waiting for him.  They were attacked by a Sith force, but when they seemingly killed Revan, Revan disappeared in a flash of light.  Revan returned years later - at the end of the Cold War, after the first death of the Sith Emperor.  Revan was trying to summon the Sith Emperor's spirit into a body host, so he could kill him once and for all - losing himself in the process.  Revan eventually realized his mistake, and aided the Coalition force of Sith and Republic forces in defeating the Sith Emperor again.  Revan then disappeared; whether he died, no one knows.  What made Revan so powerful was his ability to balance both his powers in the Light side and Dark side of the Force.  He was probably the most powerful Force Wielder to ever live.

Well that pretty much concludes my list.  Hope you enjoyed; I encourage you to spend countless hours wasting your time on Wookiepedia haha.  Oh and a quick story update; I've started planning out what I am going to do in each chapter so that I have more organization when I write the story - hopefully defeating writers block haha :)  So soon I'll start writing the story.


Well I leave you with one final picture of who I think is the most Powerful and important charcter in the the Star Wars Universe (probably would have a fan geek out moment if they made a movie about him) - REVAN.  Until Next Time...
