Cool, I feel inspired alittle to make my own but I forgot the format. It's 5, 7, 5, for syllables in each line right?
"We believe in Vader, the Darth almighty, destroyer of Alderaan and the Sith. We believe in Luke, his only son, our Jedi. He was concieved by the power of the Force, and born of the senator Padme. Suffered under Darth Sidius, electrocuted, survived and partied with Ewoks. He descended to the Death Star, on the third hour he flew out in an Imperial ship and landed on Endor. He is seated on the right hand of Obi-Wan's ghost. He will come again to train Leia to be a Jedi. We believe? in Yoda.........:D

Yep, I checked wikipedia --you're right --5 - 7 - 5. It's an interesting challenge to express the essense of something in so few lines --or is it writer's block? :)

I know III had a hard time.

good luck
