The cries and fires in the enemy army came from the fact that while the order of Napoleon was being read to the troops, the emperor himself was riding around his bivouacs. The soldiers, seeing the emperor, lit bunches of straw and, shouting: vive l "empereur!, ran after him. Napoleon's order was as follows:
"Soldiers! The Russian army comes out against you to avenge the Austrian, Ulm army. These are the same battalions which you defeated at Gollabrunn and which you have been constantly pursuing to this place ever since. The positions we occupy are powerful, and as long as they go to get around me on the right, they will expose me to the flank! Soldiers! I myself will lead your battalions. I will keep far from the fire if you, with your usual courage, bring disorder and confusion into the ranks of the enemy; but if victory is even for a moment in doubt, you will see your emperor exposed to the first blows of the enemy, because there can be no hesitation in victory, especially on the day on which in question about the honor of the French infantry, which is so necessary for the honor of their nation.
Under the pretext of withdrawing the wounded, do not upset the ranks! Let everyone be fully imbued with the idea that it is necessary to defeat these mercenaries of England, inspired by such hatred against our nation. This victory will end our march, and we may return to our winter quarters, where we shall be found by the new French troops which are being formed in France; and then the peace I will make will be worthy of my people, you and me.
Napoleon."
At 5 o'clock in the morning it was still quite dark. The troops of the center, reserves and the right flank of Bagration were still standing motionless; but on the left flank, the columns of infantry, cavalry and artillery, which were to be the first to descend from the heights in order to attack the French right flank and push it, according to the disposition, into the Bohemian mountains, were already stirring and began to rise from their lodgings. The smoke from the fires, into which they threw everything superfluous, ate the eyes. It was cold and dark. The officers hurriedly drank tea and had breakfast, the soldiers chewed crackers, beat shots with their feet, warming themselves, and flocked against the fires, throwing the remains of booths, chairs, tables, wheels, tubs, everything superfluous that could not be taken away with them into the firewood. Austrian columnists scurried between the Russian troops and served as harbingers of the performance. As soon as an Austrian officer showed up near the regimental commander's quarters, the regiment began to move: the soldiers ran away from the fires, hid their tubes in the tops, bags in the wagons, took apart their guns and lined up. The officers buttoned up, put on their swords and knapsacks, and, shouting, went around the ranks; convoys and batmen harnessed, stacked and tied the wagons. Adjutants, battalion and regimental commanders mounted on horseback, crossed themselves, gave their last orders, instructions and assignments to the remaining convoys, and the monotonous tramp of a thousand feet sounded. The columns moved, not knowing where and not seeing from the surrounding people, from the smoke and from the growing fog, neither the area from which they left, nor the one into which they entered.

Who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars
The role of the brave Jedi in all three episodes was played by actor Mark Hamill. Before participating in the film "Star Wars" he did not have significant roles in the cinema, the actor mainly worked in the theater. Interestingly, George Lucas immediately approved Mark for this role. Hamill's open face and demeanor appealed to the director: that's how he imagined the young Skywalker. Luke performed by Mark Hamill liked the audience so much that the actor instantly became popular. After the first film, the question no longer arose of who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.
But, unfortunately, the role of a young Jedi became the only significant one in Hamill's career. Unlike Harrison Ford, who, thanks to the role of Han Solo, has become a constant favorite with directors. After finishing work on episodes of the saga, where the main character was Luke Skywalker, Hamill practically disappeared from the screens. Trying to get rid of the stamp of the image of a space hero, he played in musicals on Broadway. He acted in serials and was engaged in dubbing cartoons, tried his hand at TV shows.
Thirty years have passed, and the public is having a hard time remembering who played Luke in Star Wars. And finally, a new movie came out - "The Force Awakens". For the audience for a long time the plot of the film remained a mystery. The studio kept it a closely guarded secret. Various options for the further development of the saga were discussed in magazines and social networks. Shortly before the show, information appeared that the hero, disillusioned with the Force, decided to go into exile forever. Therefore, the very presence of Luke Skywalker's character in the frame was the biggest intrigue.
Until the last moment, kept the secret of "Star Wars" 7. Who plays Luke? When the film was released, fans devoted to the hero finally breathed a sigh of relief. Luke is back, now a powerful Jedi, as ever, played by Mark Hamill. Let's hope that the hero has many more adventures ahead, and that Hamill has acting work. Moreover, the universe is again in danger, which means that the history of the Jedi continues. After all, when according to the plot of the film it became clear who Rey from Star Wars was Luke, the audience realized that they would meet their favorite characters more than once.

One of the main goodies fantasy of George Lucas Luke Skywalker joined the ranks of the Jedi, playing a key role in the Galactic civil war, defeating the Galactic Empire and overthrowing the Sith.
Biography of Luke Skywalker
Luke was born with his twin sister, Leia, in the medical center of the asteroid Posis Massa at a time when the Old Republic disappeared and the Empire was formed, and the Jedi were being destroyed. The mother died immediately after giving birth. Luke Skywalker's father Anakin, known as the Sith Lord, shortly before the events switched to the side of evil. Jedi family friends Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to separate the children and hide them from their enemies.
Luke grew up under the care of his uncle and aunt on the desert planet Tatooine, dreaming from childhood to leave his native land to drive a spaceship. For the time being, the boy had no idea about his origin and destiny.
Life changed dramatically when two droids R2-D2 and C-3PO were in the hands of my uncle with blueprints for the secret weapon of the Empire called the Death Stars. Imperial stormtroopers in search of documents came to Tatooine and killed the young man's relatives. Luke went on a dangerous journey to the rebels to give them the blueprints for a superweapon.
On this dangerous journey, young Skywalker, under the guidance of Kenobi and Master Yoda, learned the basics of using the Force, met members of the Rebellion and his sister, Princess Leia Organa. And Obi-Wan Kenobi contributed to the fact that the young man joined the ranks of the rebels.
Being a member of the Rebel Alliance, the hero, along with Leia and Solo, fought against the oppressive regime, participated in several battles with the forces of the Empire, led by Darth Vader. The Sith Lord has been hunting Skywalker for a long time. As a result, the son fell into a trap set in Cloud City, where a duel took place between Luke and Vader. During a lightsaber battle, Dart left his son without an arm and revealed to him the secret of birth.
The fateful battle happened when Vader brought Luke to Emperor Palpatine. Together they tried to convince the young Jedi to turn to the dark side of the Force. However, Skywalker managed to defeat his father and even awaken bright feelings in him. In the fight, the young man refused to obey the Emperor's order to kill Vader. The Dark Knight threw the ruler of the Empire into the mine and died from a mortal wound himself, but before that he accepted redemption and became Anakin Skywalker again.
After the victory of the Rebellion, Luke built a new temple and Jedi academy, was going to revive the Order of those who stand on the light side of the Force, almost destroyed by Palpatine. But after the betrayal of his nephew and student Ben Solo, who preferred the camp of the dark side and destroyed the entire academy, the hero went into self-imposed exile.
In the following episodes, Luke Skywalker will again come to the fore. According to the preliminary comments of the creators of the paintings, the character of the character will get stronger and become more rigid.
Luke fell in love with a member of the opposing side, Mara Jade, who later became an ally, and then the wife of Skywalker, and bore him a son, Ben. After her marriage, Mara dedicated her life to the New Jedi Order.
Image, powers and abilities
A short young man (Luke grew only up to 172 cm) with early childhood he was distinguished by irrepressible daydreaming and wandering in the clouds. Over the years, this was supplemented by recklessness, impatience and impulsiveness. The young man did not know how to lie at all. Over time, I learned patience and restraint, wisdom came. The environment noted that he was smart beyond his age. Skywalker responded to any request for help, even if it would get him into trouble.
The character easily learned the skill of fighting with lightsabers. Luke Skywalker's sword, inherited from his father, was blue, a shade associated with the Jedi Guardians. Having lost his weapon along with his hand, Luke assembled a new sword, only with a green blade. Usually such swords belonged to scientists, diplomats and orators.
Skywalker is the owner of a strong connection with the Force. Kenobi taught the young man the skill of controlling it and obtaining information about the world around him. Luke began to feel the approach of his father, independently revealed the secrets of telekinesis and began to use the opportunities that opened up, later he learned the secrets of influencing the minds of enemies. With the help of the Force, he even did the unbelievable - he destroyed the Death Star.

- Star Wars might have been released under a different name. The 20th Century Fox film company did not like the name of the future tape, and a competition was announced among the members of the film crew. However, no one dared to go against the idea of the screenwriter and director.
Actors of the Star Wars saga - The image of Luke Skywalker haunted the author. At first, George Lucas was going to create a Jedi girl. Then I thought that it would be nice to make the main character a dwarf, and later the idea came up to turn the character into an elderly general. The surname of the Jedi was even in the midst of filming - in the script, Luke was listed as Starkiller.
- A funny episode is connected with the filming of the space opera. The planet Tatooine, where Luke grew up, is named after the city of the same name in Tunisia. A large-scale film was filmed in the same country. Once there was almost an international conflict: the Libyan government was worried about the abundance military equipment on the border and was even going to announce a general mobilization. The Tunisian authorities asked the creators of the picture to move to the center of the state so as not to embarrass the neighbors.
