Class Experience

Have you ever wondered where the Millennium Falcon and The Ghost came from and how they became such vital parts of the Rebel Alliance? Have you ever wondered how those giant starships were made and how powerful they really were? Have you ever wondered about the similarities and differences between tie fighters and X-wings? This class will take you on the historical and amazing voyage of some of the coolest ships in Star Wars. We will explore many of the ships' historical facts from the beginning to the end of the Star Wars saga. We will learn about some of the owners and pilots of the famous ships and how they came to acquire them. We will discover the importance and significance of these ships in the Rebel Alliance, the Empire, the New Republic, the Resistance, and the First Order. We will also uncover some very interesting facts about the ships, many of which are not well known. 

This class will be a discussion type of class and will be presented using teacher made slideshows and videos. Learners will have the opportunity and are highly encouraged to share their thoughts on these ships and compare them to other ships in the Star Wars saga. Learners should have some form of Star Wars knowledge and background, but they do not need to be an expert by any means.
