Battle with the Storm Troopers

The time has come , they have arrived. We stock up on ammo, grenades and guns ready to fight against the Storm troopers. I got all the kids and people safe as our enemies start marching forward. I gathered up my army and we stood firmly in front of them. Their ships started shooting at our houses, we got angry and fought back with our guns. We undertook the war and won with pride. Until this day we still remain owners of our land.
