In every Generation there is a Chosen One – He alone will stand against The Men Behind The Curtain, The Lord of La Mancha and The Legend of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master
He is, The Man Who Killed
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Master
This Cannot be Stressed Often Enough —
The Actual, Historical and Literal Meaning of ‘Hero’ specifically refers to a DEAD Man Who is Worshipped, Venerated and Appealed-to in The Afterlife.
So, as George Lucas has always been absolutely explicit in stating, The Star Wars Saga is NOT about Luke Skywalker or Han Solo,
Star Wars is about Darth Vader.
So The Hero of The Star Wars Saga, Episodes IV-VI and for the first 6 Episodes as a whole is Anakin Skywalker, because he is a Dead Man who is idolised by his son to the extent that he journeys into The Underworld of The Death Star (Hades) to release him from eternal torment inside his own broken, mutilated reanimated corpse of a body, after being cast down into a lake of fire and clawing his way back up from Hell by his fingernails and cast iron will.
As of 2017, for the first time, Luke Skywalker became The Hero —
Because he is now DEAD.
“I dreamed that I was running through a mall parking lot, trying to escape from something. I was running through the parked cars, opening one door, crawling across the front seat, opening the other, moving to the next. The doors on one car suddenly slammed shut. I was in the passenger seat. The car started to move by itself. A voice said harshly, “there is no way out of here.”
I was on a journey, going somewhere I did not want to go.
I was not The Driver.”

Healing Yourself and Protecting Your Children From A Toxic Upbringing
"I'm not sure if it's a coincidence that Me and Stephen [Spielberg] grew up in the same environment - same with Marty [Scorsese]. Well, a Director is just someone who has a fetish about making The World the way he wants it - Sort of Narcissistic." That's you....? "All Directors.... They're vaugely like Emperors."
"We are all Redeemed Through Our Children.... I GenuinelyBelieve That." - Lucas.
George Lucas is Crazy.
He identifies with Don Quixote,
An Old Man with Dementia who thought he could Save The World from an epidemic of incivility simply by acting like a Knight.
His Religion was Decency.
And he spent a lifetime fighting its Enemies.
I wish he could be here to learn the name of his successor like I just did.

Well, no, we don’t actually arrest people — we just investigate.

POLLY:
UK Security Helpline.
This is Polly. How can I help?
Our Lady :
I'm sorry, what?
POLLY:
UK Security Helpline.
How can I help?
Our Lady :
Get me Kate Stewart at UNIT.
This is a code zero emergency.
POLLY :
I don't know what that is, I'm afraid.
Which organisation did you say?
Our Lady :
UNIT. Unified Intelligence Taskforce.
This is incredibly urgent.
The fate of the entire planet is at stake.
POLLY:
Checking for you.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
UNIT operations have been suspended pending review.
Our Lady :
What? No, it can't have been.
UNIT is a fundamentally vital protection for planet Earth against alien invasion.
POLLY:
Yes, but when did that last happen?
Our Lady :
Now! Right now!
What happened to it?
POLLY:
Just checking.
All UNIT operations were put on hold following financial disputes and subsequent funding withdrawal by the UK's major international partners.
Our Lady :
You're kidding.
POLLY:
Other Armed Forces are available if you can answer a couple of questions to help me best direct your call.
(The Doctor ends the call.)
Our Lady :
We're on our own.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was the ideal model of a Police State.
It copied (and perfected) the French model refined during the Revolutionary, Napoleonic and post-Napoleonic eras.
It was said of the Hapsburg Empire of Prince Metternich, it was maintained by —
A Standing Army of Soldiers
A Sitting Army of Bureaucrats
A Kneeling Army of Priests
and
A Creeping Army of Informants

It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done.
It is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known...

MEL:
Never mind the Sydney Carton heroics!
You're not signing on as a martyr yet.
The Colourful Jester :
Go away, Mel. Go away.
MEL:
That trial was an illusion...!

The Colourful Jester :
Ow! You've ruined everything!

A young Police Constable approaches two squabbling women. Her attitude to policing seems to channel Sgt Cawood from Happy Valley.

She smashed it with a hammer!
JANEY:
Cos you keyed me nearside door!
SONIA:
Because you parked in my spot!
JANEY:
It's not your spot.
There are no spots.
YAZ:
Ladies, please!
Thank you.
Can I suggest a simple solution?

You pay for her cracked window,
you pay for her scratched door,
and we all agree that parking round here is a nightmare —
But that grown-ups really shouldn't need to call The Police to sort it out for them.
Now, if we're all agreed on that,
there's no need for me to take any further Police Action and we can all get on with our lives.
What do you reckon?

YASMIN:
I'm just saying, I am capable of more than parking disputes.

— She was sent out to attend the parking incident solo, so she already knows “The Basics of Routine Community-Policing”, well enoughto do it unsupervised, without additional officers or back-up, whilst sleep-walking underwater, and with the lights off for the entire street, as well as the next 3 streets on either side.
She Doesn’t Need Supervision
And They Know That.
Because She’s unpartnered — and out there on her own.
YAZ :
I want to do more.
Can you not get them to give me something that'll test me?
Something a bit different.
RAMESH:
There is something that just came in....
If you want ‘different’....

BILL MOYERS: We downloaded something from your Web site the other day and there you were talking about how you wanted the Jedi to be more than just fighters. You wanted them to be “spiritual,” but you didn’t say what you meant by that? GEORGE LUCAS: Well, I — I guess they’re like ultimate father figuresor negotiators.
And — and at this point in time they are —
They’re sent out to negotiate a — a deal.
They help to put forth answers where people are in the middle of a dispute.
GEORGE LUCAS: They’re aren’t an aggressive force at all.

meter (n.1)
also metre, "poetic measure," Old English meter "meter, versification," from Latin metrum, from Greek metron "meter, a verse; that by which anything is measured; measure, length, size, limit, proportion," from PIE root *me- (2) "to measure."
Possibly reborrowed early 14c. (after a 300-year gap in recorded use) from Old French metre, with specific sense of "metrical scheme in verse," from Latin metrum.

Email to the Universe
"Dreams of flying appeared in the collective unconscious before the reality of flight existed in technology, and I suspect that
if we understood our dreams better we would use our technology more wisely . . .
I suggest that we contemplate what our children look at every Saturday morning on TV.
One of the most popular jokes in animated cartoons shows the protagonist walking off a cliff,
without noticing what he has done.
Sublimely ignorant, he continues to walk - on air - until he notices that he has been doing the "impossible," and then he falls . . .
Daedalus who, imprisoned in a labyrinth (conventional "reality"), invented wings and flew away, over the heads of his persecutors; and Icarus, the of Daedalus, who flew too close to the Sun Absolute and fell back to Earth.
HE PUSHED HIS LUCK
&
TEMPTED THE FATES
Like Porky Pig walking off a cliff, Icarus' fall contains a symbolism many have encountered in their own dreams . . .
Daedalus means "artist" in Greek . . . Daedalus, inventor of wings that took him from Earth to Outer Space - Why does he represent Art, instead of Science? . . .
The genius of an artist, Aristotle says, lies in his texne, the root from which we get our word "technology"; but texne basically means skill or craft, or the ability to
make things that never existed before.
Negative entropy,
i.e., information . . .

Please remember that shamans in most cultures are known as
"They Who Walk in The Sky,"

Han Solo (for example) isn't ANY of those things -
He's a Pirate King :
a Plunderer.
Leia is The Hearth.
But I can't believe She was so foolish to think that She could send Her Son away, and for any good to come of it.... Yes I Can, though.
The ironies of Swift and Aristophanes, and the myths of the fall of Icarus and Donald Duck, indicate that
Your Point Being...
The Collective Unconscious contains a force opposed to our Dreams of Flight.
This appearsinevitable . . .
But what if we begin to regrow healthy organs of Poetic Imagination and flight?
What if we
"put on wings and arouse the coiled splendor within,"
as Liber Al urges? . . .
Joyce did not name his emblematic Artist merely
Daedalus, but Stephen Daedalus
-- after St. Stephen the Protomartyr,
who reported a Vision and was stoned to death for it . . .
Those of us who have no avocation for martyrdom must learn, when we realize how much neophobia remains built into the contraptions of "society" and "the State," the art of surviving in spite of them.
"Even Back When You Had Two Eyes..."
In a word, we must
"get wise"
in both the Socratic meaning of the phrase and in the most hardboiled street meaning.
Neophobia functions as an Evolutionary Driver,
forcing The Neophiliac to get very smart very fast."
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy states: "There
is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how
to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second
part, the missing, that presents the difficulties."
You must learn how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day and try it. The first part is easy. All it requires is the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt. That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. If you are really trying properly, the likelyhood is that you will fail to miss the ground fairly hard.
Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.
One problem is that you have to miss the ground accidentally. It's no good deliberately intending to miss the ground because you won't. You have to have your attention suddenly distracted by something else then you're halfway there, so that you are no longer thinking about falling, or about the ground, or about how much it's going to hurt if you fail to miss it.
It is notoriously difficult to prise your attention away from these three things during the split second you have at your disposal. Hence most people's failure, and their eventual disillusionment with this exhilarating and spectacular sport.
If, however, you are lucky enough to have your attention momentarily distracted at the crucial moment by, say, a gorgeous pair of legs (tentacles, pseudopodia, according to phyllum and/or personal inclination), or a bomb going off in your vicinity, or by suddenly spotting an extremely rare species of beetle crawling along a nearby twig, then in your astonishment you will miss the ground completely and remain bobbing just a few inches above the ground in what might seem to be a slightly foolish manner.
This is the moment for superb and delicate concentration.
Bob and float. Float and bob.
Ignore all considerations of your own weight and simply let yourself waft higher.
Do not listen to what anybody says to you at this point because they are unlikely to say anything helpful.
They are most likely to say something along the lines of "Good God, man, you can't possibly be flying!" It is vitally important not to believe them or they will suddenly be right.
Waft higher and higher. Try a few swoops, gentle ones at first, then drift above the treetops, breathing regularly.
DO NOT WAVE AT ANYBODY.
Landing
With more experience, you will learn how to land properly, which is something you will almost certainly screw up, and screw up badly, on your first attempt.
Flight School
There are private flying clubs you can join which help you with the all important moment of distraction. They hire people with surprising bodies or opinions to leap out from behind bushes and exhibit and/or explain them at the critical moments. Few genuine hitchhikers will be able to afford to join these clubs, but some may be able to get temporary employment at them.
