卢卡斯电影公司使这位21岁的英雄迷永垂不朽
Riley Howell – a 21-year-old hero who died while saving fellow classmates in the UNC Charlotte shooting – has been honored as a Jedi Master in the new Star Wars universe book. The college student, along with another 19-year-old classmate, took the bullets and thus prevented more injuries and deaths after a gunman opened fire in one of the classrooms of the University of North Carolina. Riley has been hailed as a hero by the local police, who praised his quick thinking and courage that “saved lives.”
21岁的赖利·豪威尔在北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校枪击案中，在救同学时牺牲。他在最新的《星球大战宇宙》系列小说中被授予绝地大师称号。这名大学生和另一名19岁的同学一起，在北卡罗莱纳大学的一间教室里，在一名枪手开枪后，他们接过了子弹，从而避免了更多的伤亡。赖利被当地警方誉为英雄，他们称赞他敏捷的思维和勇气“拯救了生命”。
“He loved Star Wars, birds, cards, snowboarding, going to the lake, Kentucky Hot Browns cooking from scratch with cast iron while listening to the Feel Good Classic Soul playlist, and his Lauren,” Riley’s family told the media. “He could also put away a pizza.” Following the tragic death of the college student, people commemorated him in many different ways. But Riley’s family feels that the most recent commemoration is the most fitting one.
莱利的家人在接受媒体采访时说:“他喜欢《星球大战》、小鸟、纸牌、滑雪板、去湖边、肯塔基州的Hot Browns餐厅，一边听着Feel Good Classic Soul的歌单，一边用铸铁从头开始做饭，还有他的Lauren。”莱利的家人告诉媒体：“他还可以放一个披萨。”在那位大学生不幸去世后，人们用许多不同的方式来纪念他。但莱利的家人认为，最近的纪念活动是最合适的。
Lauren Westmoreland, Riley’s girlfriend of almost six years, recently announced a heartwarming tribute to the late hero in a TikTok video. Apparently, Riley is immortalized in the new book named Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — The Visual Dictionary. In it, Riley becomes “Ri-Lee Howell – a Jedi Master and historian of the Jedi Order.” Lucasfilm, the studio behind the Star Wars movies, has created a new character in its storied mythology, and let the Howell family know by sending them a heartfelt letter.
与莱利交往近6年的女友劳伦·威斯特摩兰最近在一段TikTok视频中向这位已故英雄致以了温暖的敬意。显然，莱利在新书《星球大战:天行者的崛起》中有不朽的形象——视觉词典。在这部电影中，莱利成为了“绝地大师和绝地武士团的历史学家——Ri-Lee Howell”。《星球大战》系列电影的制作方卢卡斯影业在其传奇故事中创造了一个新角色，并给豪厄尔一家寄去了一封衷心的信。
“Riley’s courage and selflessness brings out the Jedi in all of us. We hope you may rejoice in his memory, and we join you in honoring his life and example,” the letter went. “All of us here extend our deepest condolences. The Force will be with Riley, and all of you, always.”
“莱利的勇气和无私激发了我们所有人的绝地精神。我们希望你们为他的死感到高兴，我们和你们一起纪念他的一生，为他树立榜样。”“我们在这里表示最深切的哀悼。原力将永远与莱利和你们同在。”
Lauren says that Riley grew up watching the Star Wars films and was a huge fan of the franchise, therefore this tribute is especially moving to the hero’s family.
劳伦说，赖利是看着《星球大战》系列电影长大的，是该系列电影的超级粉丝，因此这部致敬电影特别感动了这位英雄的家人。
In the TikTok video, Lauren said: “Thanks for giving my love the perfect Christmas present ever, and making him a part of the Star Wars universe perpetually.”
在TikTok的视频中，劳伦说:“感谢你给我的爱一个完美的圣诞礼物，让他永远成为星球大战宇宙的一部分。”
“Having this positive thing come out this time of year, it’s just the best Christmas gift any of us could’ve ever received given the circumstances,” she added. “It makes it just a little bit okay,” Lauren told the media.
她补充说:“在这种情况下，每年的这个时候，这件积极的事情出来了，这是我们所有人收到的最好的圣诞礼物。”劳伦对媒体说:“这让一切都好了一点。”
