Current Affairs Paris Attacks Written By: Eddie Hodgkiss As you may know, on 13th November 2015 the group known as IS, used suicide bombers to destroy venues and kill 157 people. ‘IS’ or ‘Islamic State’ is a radical militant group who use violence against anyone who doesn’t agree with their extremist views.

Other attacks include a restaurant and a concert. One of the footballer’s family members died in the attack.

The next Tuesday England played France. This was the first event after the attacks. Wembley stadium was lit up in red, white and blue, the colours of the Suicide bombers are people who French flag.

Films Written By: Louie Bailie INCLUDES CONTENT THAT YOU WILL NOT KNOW AND IS NOT IN THE MOVIES. Found out by my research and books. Don’t worry, if you found the report on Star Wars IV troublesomely tiresome, then you’re in luck, as I’m not going to speak about the screenplay, I will just simply blabber about backstory. (mainly). So three years after the events of Star Wars IV things are not going well. The rebels have been pushed back planet by planet, and have to escape to the desolate planet of Hoth, inhabited by very few species, two of them being the docile tauntaun, a lizardhorse, and the wampa, an aggressive carnivore, which doesn't show up on very many life form scanners. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca and the droids, not to

mention a rebellion garrison, are preparing for battle, personnel and some droids evacuate, and troops build primitive trenches, Anti-infantry turrets, and Antivehicle laser batteries. Then in come imperial walkers (ATAT’s). If the Rebels had stayed on Hoth any longer they would have become a dying fire that eventually would turn into ashes. Once they had evacuated, the Rebels were pushed back once again, and Luke went to the swampplanet of Dagohbah to train with the 900-year old master Yoda. (voiced and puppeteered by Frank Oz)

Films Written By: Louie Bailie Yoda trains Luke, and sets up a test. He invited a droid bounty hunter to attack Luke, but Luke defeated it, and sent it back to it’s ship to leave the planet. He was unsure whether he succeeded in the test, as Yoda never mentioned it again. Luke is about halfway through his training when, through the force, he hears his friends, Han, Leia and Chewbacca, cry out in pain. He tells Yoda he must go and leaves, to go to Cloud City, where his friends are. It is a trap, however and just as everyone (except Luke) is confronted by Darth Vader! The Sith Lord captures them all, and freezes Han Solo in a material called carbonite. He does this to test whether a Human can survive the process, as he only freezes Han to see if he survives, because Darth Vader

wants to do it to Luke, and send him directly to the most sinister being in the galaxy, The Emperor. The only reason Vader wants to send Luke to the Emperor, is because he believes that the Emperor can turn Luke to the Dark Side. Otherwise he would train him evilly himself, but Luke is too strongly willed. They have an ultimate showdown, in which Darth Vader reveals that he is Luke’s father, and cuts off his sons’ hand. Luke only just escapes with his life, and once again, the Rebels are pushed back. It’s a bad time for them! See y’all next issue!

Vehicles Slave 1 Written By: Matthew Spires The article and the next is in honour of Star Wars The Force Awakens which comes out soon. Anyway the Slave I was first piloted by Jango Fett, then piloted by his son Boba Fett, but we are going to focus on Boba Fett and when he piloted it. First, Boba was a bounty hunter like his father before, so this ship was mostly used for going to other planets or fending of people who did not like him killing for money. He bought the ship of a black market dealer because that is were every bounty hunter gets most of his equipment. His weapons are quite simple, they have two ion torpedoes, six blasters and that is it. If you have no idea what those are do not worry, just think of them as really powerful weapons. This Vehicle has featured in the original trilo-

gy, the prequels ,some videogames and much more which is why this is one of the most frequently appearing vehicles in the Star Wars universe. It also appears in the game that came out a week ago called Star Wars Battlefront and is one of the special vehicles that you can play as. Read the other scribbler articles for more information.

Vehicles AT-ST Written By: Matthew Spires Today we are going to discuss AT-ST. AT-STs first appeared in the 6th movie of star wars and some lego video games and nonlego video games. The AT-ST was an extremely powerful worthy to call a tank. Probably one of the empires most powerful land vehicle right next to the AT-AT. This vehicle was quite fast for a metal human like thing and was piloted by two me one driving one shooting for increased accuracy of both instead of one driver having to focus on driving and shooting which was quite an ingenius idea if you think about. the AT-ST would have guns mounted on its side and its what we will call chin (for a better look at the guns look in the picture below) of course like mostly every vehicle it has went through a “trial and error stage”

a obvious trial and error stage was its feet it probably went through a stage where it could not walk because it had no feet and it was walking around on chubby things, But obviously it fell then they probably added toes it could walk just it could not run very well. Then they came to this design a circular shape with toes on it a perfect design to walk and run with. Read the next vehicle article for more information.

Wildlife Basilisk Lizard Written By: Luca Silva This lizard is sometimes called the Jesus lizard because this lizard runs on water, now how does this lizard do this? Well it’s light and fast but that is not the whole story, the lizard has long toes on there rear feet and fringes of skin that unravel to meet the water this makes little air pockets that give the lizard lift and its tail is a counter weight this is its super power.

and berries but there predators are snakes, ameivas, birds and coatis. They can run at 50 feet per second ,they can grow to 22.5 feet (61-76cm), they weigh 7oz (200g) and their life span is 10 years (in captivity).

They normally live in streams and river beds in central America and when people saw them they would call it the basilisk because basilisk means demonic lizard These are some facts about this or venomous lizard which is Latlizard. These lizards are very in but don’t worry this lizard was skittish and jumpy, on top of that called basilisk because of the unthey are quick so they are escape natural ability to walk on water. artists as well as having there own super power. The males have crests on there back and head and they are very territorial when it comes to females. They manly eat insects

Wildlife Green Python Written By: Luca Silva These fellows are good at strangling small prey but who would have guessed that in captivity they are so docile and calm. These green reptiles actually are more yellow than you would think first of the babies are a little coward although there size gives them a disadvantage they are yellow as well as yellow... Yellow as a coward and yellow as literally yellow fun to think.

get medical attention just in case of an infection as its teeth are sharp. They live in New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia but they might live in many more places but we haven't found them yet.

They love claiming trees and getting wrapped up in themselves and on the occasion hunt a small snack but they are nocturnal so Now moving on to the adults, the they hunt at night and that is green pythons can live up to 20 where they do most of there years, but the longest-lived rec- hunting. orded is 28 years and 3 months green pythons can grow up to 7 foot.

Fantasy Origins Super Star Destroyer Written By: Louie Bailie The Super Star Destroyer is at least 10 times larger than a normal Star Destroyer, but in the image the Star Destroyer looks half as big, but that’s just because it is close to the camera. The large ship in the middle is 19km long, and named The Executor. In fact, Lord Vader himself is in charge of it, along with lots of other overpowered superweapons. The ship can hold a countless amount of one-man fighters and bombers and has 5000 laser turrets. It’s tractor beam is one of the most extreme in the galaxy and it has 13 super charged engines, each one can annihilate over 45,000 tons of fuel per second at full power. It is, in fact, sometimes classed as a space-station because it is so large and powerful. Its’ only known weakness is it’s main bridge, which, if destroyed

may cause the ship to steer into a planet causing a catastrophic explosion and wiping out anything within hundreds of miles. Overall, this all but impregnable warship is the largest capital ship in the Star Wars galaxy and has brought the rebels to their knees. Only the supreme skills of the Empire could manufacture such a beast. The power of this ship is second only to the Death Star, which I shall do, at some point. See you soon...

Fantasy Origins Luke Skywalker Written By: Matthew Spires Luke Skywalker first featured in the first Star Wars film ever made and has also featured in many books and the rest of the films (not including prequels) and has featured in loads of video games making him one of the most famous people ever to be on anything. I am almost certain, whoever you are, you have heard of him. Of course he has a origin and ,like every normal person, his origin it quite simple. He was boy on a planet called Tatooine, on this planet he was raised by his aunt and uncle until one day they buy two droids one is C3PO

come a Jedi but sadly he dies at the hands of Darth Vader with his last words being this “if you strike me down I shall become more powerful then you can possibly imagine” then Darth Vader strikes him down, not surprisingly. Then the second film and the third film happened and then The prequels ,the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars, because Luke Skywalker was not in it but sadly we cannot fit in all of Luke Skywalker’s origin in this page because it is simply too long and the sequels haven’t come out . Read the other scribbler articles for more inforand the other droid is called R2- mation. D2 (personally my favourite is C3-PO) but anyway, the droids realise he has the potential to be a Jedi. Obi Wan Kenobi leads him to be-
