Star Wars – A Galaxy of Daddy Issues

January 28, 2020

Daddy issues. What would Star Wars be without them? And how many Star Wars movies center around this one big Oedipal question? I have to wonder about George Lucas’ extreme father fixation. Darth Vader even means ‘dark father’, which is a seriously big clue right off the bat. Daddy Issues are a huge thing in […]

The Star Wars Holiday Special …Is it really that bad?

January 13, 2020

Is it really that bad? Yes. Yes it is. With a few moments that were faintly amusing. Created using the real-to-goodness original cast of Star Wars from A New Hope, The Star Wars Holiday Special was an earnest 1978 TV movie featuring awful production values, clearly stoned actors, and some really cracked-out looking Wookiees. Really, […]

I have a bad feeling about this… Who said it in Star Wars and When?

November 3, 2018

In the far away and long ago galaxy of Star Wars, everyone’s a prophet. Who hasn’t said they have a bad feeling about something? Well, except that one time Han said he had a good feeling. It’s the franchise’s longest-running gag, at least through the 10th film of Solo, A Star Wars Story. Updated now […]

Movie Rewatch Review – Solo (A Star Wars Story)

November 3, 2018

I don’t know why so many Star Wars fans have a problem with Solo. All I can think of is that it was released too close to The Last Jedi, which really incited the fan base. Otherwise, I can’t imagine why this excellent film was panned. I loved it, and I’m not sure yet where […]

Everyone loves Harrison Ford’s Han, so people were excited and curious to see a different actor’s take on the iconic character. [pullquote]Geek that I am, I looked around for a party full of fellow fans to share […]

Star Wars Last Shot – A Han and Lando Novel

May 19, 2018

With the arrival of Solo —the newest Star Wars Story set to splash on cinema screens — pretty much the entire galaxy is primed to learn more about Han Solo. Just how did he fall from expert Imperial pilot to a petty criminal in a seedy underworld? Lots of pre-canon material is out there in book […]

New Solo Featurette: Becoming Solo

May 17, 2018

Han Solo is everyone’s favorite space rogue. Star Lord is kind of funnier, and might be almost as cool, but no one can top Han, or — at least — Harrison Ford’s version of him. He still had what it took to make us love Han all the more, in the Star Wars sequel trilogy […]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie review

December 19, 2015

Grade: A- I can safely say that SW:TFA is the 3rd best Star Wars movie in the franchise. And let’s be clear, it would take a miracle for JJ Abrams to create something better than New Hope or Empire Strikes Back. This is easily the funniest movie in the franchise. Almost, but not every, funny […]
