Jade Wind-Sun’s Spirit projection

THANK YOU to Maureen P., Cira S., Pepasaurus, meemz, and loli for their help today. I could not have written today’s article without each of your help.

Jade Wind-Sun is the protector of the Pyramid of the Storm Eye. She is trapped beneath the ground by the Shadow Queen. She has just enough energy to project her spirit to you.

I beg you to help me in my struggle against the Shadow! This is my most desperate hour! You’re my only hope.” Jade Wind-Sun

The first ten minutes of Star Wars: A New Hope is one of the most iconic openings in cinema history. From the giant Star Destroyer invading the entire screen, right through to the first appearance of Darth Vader and Princess Leia recording a plaintive cry for help and blasting an escape pod down to the deserts of Tatooine. Luke Skywalker comes a fragment of the message while cleaning the R2 unit.

Luke Skywalker and Oi-Wan Kenobi listen to Princess Leia’s holographic message.

The full text of Leia’s message is this:
General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now, he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret I am unable to present my father’s request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack, and fear my mission to return with you to Alderaan has failed.

I have fed information vital to the survival of all free planets into the memory of systems of this R-2 unit…my father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour … You must help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope.

Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references, I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
