To summarize(总结), there are rebels(反叛),emperors(皇帝), princesses, robots and many more fabulous(惊人的)creatures. There is also a power source(源头)called “The Force”. It is used by the Jedi (the good ones) but also by the dark side (the evil ones). Only the dark side uses the destructive(毁灭的)power of “The Force”, which is based on negative(消极的)emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy(妒忌)or hate. A Jedi masters(精通)“The Force” and uses it for knowledge and defense by learning to control his emotions.
