Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Thoughts and Final Opinion
"This is not going to go the way you think!" Luke Skywalker pretty much summed up what the movie said to fans of Star Wars right there, and I, like majority of the people in the theatre, sat in shock and confusion as the credits of The Last Jedi rolled across the screen. It took me a couple of hours to process the events of the movie, weigh out the pros and the cons, before sitting in front of my laptop and writing a spoiler free review that I posted on futurism.media that same night. I knew that I needed to see the film one more time in order to get my thoughts sorted in a coherent and proper way. And so, having seen the film today, here I am.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - A Review
Let me just say one thing before I get into the review: this is going to be spoiler free, so have no fear of me crushing your hopes and dreams for this movie. That being said, without giving away any pivotal plot points, it's going to be difficult to convey everything I want to, so a follow up analysis of the movie will probably be coming up with spoilers, but this is going to be an overall look at the film, what I thought of it, and what it means for the franchise.

Five Night's at Freddy's: The Global Phenomenon
It’s become increasingly common for games to blow up over the Internet due to the growth of gaming channels on YouTube and other live streaming services such as twitch, but before 2014, such a phenomenon was only seen for games like Minecraft. However, a game developer by the name of Scott Cawthon released a game on Steam that would change the face of gaming as we knew it at the time.

The Mirror of Endless Sight
The night was quiet and still, the leaves rustling all around the forest, temporarily breaking the silence that enveloped the place, like a whisper in a church hall. The road was empty — not a single vehicle in sight, and the sky was pitch black, the moon hiding itself behind an endless number of clouds. Mark Freeman walked slowly and steadily, his eyes downcast and a curious air of melancholy and acceptance around him. He wore a black trench coat and his hands were tucked into his pockets. His glasses dangled loosely from his face and he had to push them back up every few minutes. His shoes scraped against the cement of the road creating a rather unpleasant sound, but Mark paid no heed to it. He continued along his way, undisturbed.

The Chinks in 'Game of Thrones'' Armour
(SPOILER WARNING FOR ALL SEVEN SEASONS OF GAME OF THRONES) No franchise is infallible. There have been several stories that have been told through the course of books, movies, TV shows, and even video games that have touched both the heights of glory and the depths of monotony and boredom. However, every once in a while, there emerges that story that seems like it can do no wrong. For many years, the series that, in my opinion, occupied this position was J.K Rowling’s masterful Harry Potter. As of late, though, one series has risen to take on the mantle that everyone’s favourite boy wizard left, and that series is none other than George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, or, as it is more popularly known, Game of Thrones. And while it is no exaggeration to say that the show has become one of the icons of the entertainment world in recent years, I say that it suffers from key problems that, while not reducing the quality of the show, definitely takes it down from what it used to be back when it first came on the air.
