Find Your Way To A Galaxy Far Far Away – SWFOTF

Here is this week’s Star Wars Friends of the Force Page of the Week entry. Yeah, it’s another maze, but they are the funniest because they are so unrealistic for what they are trying to portray. If you ever wanted to know how to get to the Star Wars galaxy, here it is in all its glory. This would probably make a really funny Flash game like the Labyrinth Flash Game Challenger, but then again, most of these mazes would. I got a lot of comments that the Labyrinth Flash Game Challenger was tough so I think this one would be even worse. If you haven’t played it yet, you can play it here. It wasn’t a great one this week, still kind of funny, but I had a busy week and was low on...

Astromech Droids On A Borg Cube – SWFOTF

This maze is probably supposed to be from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn were getting Queen Amidala off Naboo. They were being attacked and sent the astromech droids to fix stuff. The introduction mentions that it’s good to have some astromech droids on your ship in case you get lost and you are supposed to use the droids to get through the complex maze. Well, compared to the other mazes this one is quite complex, but mentioning having them on board the ship implies the maze is the layout of the ship. But this layout looks somewhat familiar to me, perhaps not something that might seem familiar to a Star Wars fan who doesn’t like Star Trek. It seems to me the maze looks a lot like a Borg Cube from Star Trek. The maze could apply to looking at any of the six sides of the Borg Cube and it’s just as complex. That isn’t a Naboo ship you’re navigating through. I wonder how an astromech droid would do against a Borg drone. R2-D2 and C3PO didn’t do too well against the Cylons from the old timey Battlestar Galactica series. Then again, R2 can seem to hack...

Get Obscure Jedi Master To A Jedi Council Meeting – SWFOTF

So what we have here is simple maze with a reasonable objective, get the Jedi Master to the emergency meeting of the Jedi Council. Since it’s the only maze of its kind, one would think they would go with Yoda, Mace Windu or perhaps Qui-Gon Jinn. Instead, they go with one of the obscure Jedi Masters Yarael Poof. Robot Chicken shows what I think happens after you get him to the emergency council meeting. This is somewhere around Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace. This is somewhere in the latter half of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. This is sometime after Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith. Hmmmm, I guess that is why they used him in the maze. If you haven’t watched Robot Chicken, I suggest you check it out. Robot Chicken and co-creator Seth Green are awesome. Keep up the good work...

Death Star Exhaust Shaft Set To Jedi Master – SWFOTF

The Battle of Yavin was the battle in the first movie, first meaning Stars Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, to take out the first Death Star using the stolen Death Star plans. The Star Wars Friends of the Force activity book has you helping Luke destroy the Death Star by using the Force to guide the proton torpedo down the thermal exhaust shaft. Take a look at this. The Death Star plans from Star Wars Episode 4 were far simpler in the movie. A proton torpedo fired into the exhaust port on the north side had a linear path straight to the center of the Death Star destroying the reactor and subsequently the Death Star. Check out this nicely done recreation based on the movie. This is the kind of difference you might see in a video game where the easy setting would be the straight path, like in Star Wars: A New Hope, and a very hard variation which would be all over the place, like the maze in the Star Wars Friends of the Force activity...
