Darkness Rises and the Light to Meet It

I recently published a brief post, The Star Wars Head Fake, in which I discussed my perception of what the Star Wars movies were about. The TL;DR: The Prequel and Original Trilogies were actually about Anakin and his redemption. The Sequel Trilogy is about Ben (aka Kylo Ren) and his redemption. Emma's Random Thoughts was kind enough …

Visions and Inevitability

So, tonight I finally sat down to watch The Last Jedi on DVD. I’ve had it for ages, but finding the time to watch it - well, it just hasn’t been there. This viewing brought me to a conclusion: Inevitability. Stick with me. Force visions in Star Wars always come true. They do, right? Has …

The Star Wars Head Fake

As you all may be aware, I have a small podcast (Say When: A Geeky Podcast on Soundcloud and i-Tunes) with my very good, no, check that, Best Friend Forever. Yes, I went there. I'm a Gen-Xer and I used BFF. Let's move along, shall we? Back to the point at hand. In our most …

Predictions for Episode IX

Well, we can all go home; someone figured out what happens in Episode IX. I read a blog post found here at A Handful of Dust It's worth the read. The author has taken all he's read about the Sequel Trilogy thus far and made some impressive predictions. If you take the time to read it, …

“Say When” Podcast…

Y'all...it's up on I-tunes as well as Soundcloud now. Our second episode, which we recorded before The Last Jedi dropped deals with our interpretation of The Force Awakens and Reylo. Because I'm me. And I've been on board this ship for months; at this point, I'm riding it into the sunset. Don't even send a …

*Spoilers abound* *Spoilers* *Spoilers* Major spoilers, turn back now if you have not seen this movie. *********************************************************************** The throne room, draped in red, guards virtually invisible against the violent backdrop. A tall, mishapen alien lounging on a throne with a golden robe. Say what you like about that gross child predator, he does have a …

TLJ: Instant Reactions

I wanted to love it. I really wanted to. But I liked it instead. It was a good movie; it really was. Spoilers ahead. Turn back now if you don't want spoilers. I warned you. Spoilers ahead....     Things that are canon: Reylo. If you don't like Reylo, you are going to need to …

A Podcast, you say?

Yes, I say. That's it...That's my next venture. My BFF of years, (let's just say that we are Gen Xers, and we have been friends since middle school) and I am starting a podcast! We believe that we have things to say. How conceited of us. In all seriousness, we think there's a space for …

Let’s Talk About Han

Yep. The man himself. Han Solo. Whether the name is uttered in guttural Huttese or shouted across a castle by a small alien with large eyes, the name evokes so much emotion in long-time Star Wars fans. He's a dashing smuggler with well-tuned (but not that well-tuned) survival skills. You get the feeling he's a Hufflepuff …
