I remember when I first saw Boba Fett. It wasn't onscreen, it was special offer on the back of the box of a Star Wars toy my parents had gotten me. And it was in between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. I thought 'who is this guy?' because he wasn't in the first … Continue reading Review – The Book of Boba Fett
The State of Star Wars
Us Star Wars fans find ourselves at a very interesting place at this point in time. Just a year ago it wasn't looking so great. The final film in the Skywalker saga landed with mixed reviews at best and the negative ones were way louder than all. The Rise of Skywalker, despite grossing over a … Continue reading The State of Star Wars
Review – Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
Am I seriously gonna review this?Well yes. That wasn't the original plan but then I saw some pretentious jerk on Twitter say it was awful and a sad attempt at salvaging public opinion for the sequel trilogy, etc. And I said to myself, what in the hell is wrong with these people? For real you're … Continue reading Review – Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
Movie Review – Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker
I went through a few different 'final chapter' movies in 2019 to prepare for this one: Back to the Future III, The Matrix Revolutions and of course Return of the Jedi (which isn't a final chapter any more but at the time it came out it was). Then I gave my thoughts on Avengers: Endgame. … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker
My Own Skywalker Saga
So the work of finishing the Skywalker Saga is all done. Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker is in the theaters and killing it at the box office, much to chagrin of some loud dissenters who have been a thing going back to the prequel trilogy, and now the future of Star Wars that does not … Continue reading My Own Skywalker Saga
Final Chapters – The Matrix Revolutions
We are now at the 20th Anniversary of The Matrix being released in theaters so I figured it would be fitting to add the final installment in that trilogy to my list of Final Chapter reviews. We're only a few weeks away from Avengers: Endgame as I do this so I got time for one, maybe two more after … Continue reading Final Chapters – The Matrix Revolutions
Final Chapters – Back to the Future Part 3
As I mentioned in my piece on Return of the Jedi, I'm going back and looking at some of the finales of previous film series to get ready for Avengers: Endgame this May. The next final chapter I'm looking at is from the Back to the Future trilogy, executive produced by George Lucas' best bud … Continue reading Final Chapters – Back to the Future Part 3
Final Chapters -Return of the Jedi
In a few months Avengers: Endgame will be upon us, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be closing out not just it's third phase but the entire run that began in 2008 with Iron Man. While the movies will be continuing a new arc focused on newer characters - namely, the ones introduced throughout phase … Continue reading Final Chapters -Return of the Jedi
Movie Review – Solo: A Star Wars Story
Solo: A Star Wars Story was the first Star Wars to not do so well at the box office. The final box office was a very disappointing $392 million dollars worldwide, which is less than the domestic box office for four of the other films in the Star Wars film franchise. And we don't know … Continue reading Movie Review – Solo: A Star Wars Story
Don’t Trust the Fans!
I'm writing this largely in reaction to the reaction a lot of folks have had to The Last Jedi. Way too many people are mad on the internet because writer/director Rian Johnson did not go with wish fulfillment of any of the multiple fan fiction speculation theories that were out there for the last two … Continue reading Don’t Trust the Fans!
