Over (Luke and Callista)

Some of you Star Wars fan out there might find this new video interesting. It's a video about the love between Luke Skywalker and Callista Ming. For those of you who don't know, Callista is a character in the EU books set after Return of the Jedi. Callista is a Jedi from the Old Republic era who's spirit got trapped inside an Imperial ship, called the Eye of Palpatine. Many years later Luke found his way onto the ship (through a series of events) and met Callista. She revealed what she looked like using the ships hologram system, and was freed when a character named Cray gave up here body, which Callista entered through the Force. Luke and Callista fell in love but there was one problem, Callista had completely lost her connection to the Force, and felt she could no longer fully connect with Luke because of it. She did discover one way to use the Force, but it was through the Dark Side, which she refused to use. Eventually she left, leaving Luke only a note saying she loved him but she had to find her own way of reconnecting to the Force. She came back for one or two more books. The final time Luke and Callista ever saw each other was on the planet Nam Chorios. They only shared one look but it was enough to let them both know that what they had was over, and it was for the best to go their separate ways.

Even though I hate Callista, even more then I hate Mara, I really couldn't help myself. While looking for a song for my next Luke and Mara video (which I'm sure a lot of you will be excited to see) I came across this one and all of a sudden it struck me that this song could work really well with Luke and Callista. There are no Luke/Callista videos out there so I thought, why not? It's from Callista's point of view about how she fell for Luke and how much he was becoming apart of her, but she knew deep down they could never be together. Scarlett Johansson plays the old Callista, the one trapped inside the ship, and Amanda Tapping plays the Callista in Cray's body. Nicole Kidman makes a very tinny appearance as Mara Jade and, of course, Mark Hamill is the amazing Luke Skywalker xD

And yes, I know Scarlett also plays Siri Tachi in my Star Wars videos, but I didn't have any footage of any other beautiful woman who fit the part good enough (unless you want me have used Natalie Portman but I figured that would just be wrong). So just deal with it :P To fully grasp the video 100% you have to know Callista's story, which is why it is written above, but it helps to have read the books. But if you haven't you can still enjoy the video, though some of the clips may seem a little confusing.

Very Cleverly put together. Must have taken a long time with all the fades and the search time for bits of scenes that meshed together well. And one other bit, this is just a personal deal and not an attack, but I can't see how you can dislike her or Mara for that matter. I know it's a personal preferance. And did anyone notice that she makes a short appearance in the pre rebel alliance stories. Order 66 I believe. I felt that Callista got a raw deal in the stories.

@drifter01z Callista became too whiny. I liked her at first but then her sob story got old and pathetic. I liked Mara at first too but then the character just became too bossy and domineering. It was like Luke became half the man he was before she showed up. It was fine at first, their banter was cute and I thought they were good friends. But when she was first introduced I NEVER they would actually become a couple. There was no chemistry between them, they should have stayed friends

@WormieHerMajesty Well, I think you need to put yourself in each of their shoes to understand thier feelings and why they acted the way they did. Callista had everything taken from her when she came off that ship. She lost everything that she felt made her special. Mara on the other hand was a strong up front character from the get go. She was taught to be strong in all situations, and therefore to take control. They ended up fighting together alot, and sometimes that leads....

@drifter01z That idea worked for Han and Leia. There is no better love/hate relationship. But Luke doesn't need someone to protect him, or tell him what to do. After ROTJ he was his own man. He was strong and brave and independent. He should have stayed that way... But to be completely honest Mara was only a small part of the problem. The main problem was the way the writers portrayed Luke. He became so... weak... and sappy. I never liked the way he was portrayed in the books.

Wow!! Sorry i whrite in french but.... Choix étonnant, et j'aime beaucoup. J'aurais jamais jamais pensé a Amanda Tapping dans l'univers Starwars, surtout que j'ai pris l'habitude de la voir en brune depuis Sanctuary Lol.

Finalement, le rôle de Calista lui va asssez bien, et votre montage video et vraiment bien fait.

I have no idea who Callista is but this was a very well done video!

@SWFANFILMZ10 Natalie Portman as Mara Jade.....*laughs hysterically* negative on that.....for Mara Jade I'm leaning more on Angie Everhart JUST because they used her picture for Mara Jade on the cover of Star Wars: Survivor's Quest....Natalie Portman *giggle*

[SWFANFILMZ10]

@RandomChick842 I agree. I think that Natalie Portman could be Mara even though we know her as Padme.
