Is Nostalgia Killing 'Star Wars'?
Nostalgia. What does it really mean? Why is it important? Why does it hold so much power over us? It is difficult to say. The past is the past, yet it affects our future in more ways than we realize at times, especially in the entertainment industry.

The Final Word, Maybe. How 'Star Wars: Episode 9' Can Work and Tie Together the Entire Saga
So you detested The Last Jedi, and you signed the petition to have that ill-fated episode stricken from canon. The effort will go nowhere, and though I’m one of those fans who abjectly loved the film, I’d of course have to admit it left many of us in a teeth-gnashing uproar.

Star Wars TV News
Hey, what's up everyone? So unless you've been living under a rock your entire life, you've seen Star Wars. Ever since Disney acquired the rights to Star Wars, they have been pushing it. Some say too much, while most even those who say that will still go and see whatever it is they make. Because heck, it's Star Wars!

It All Comes Together Where It Began: 4 Ways How Rest of the Star Wars Canon Enhances the Viewing Experience of 'A New Hope'
When a troubled indie movie called Star Wars took the world by storm in 1977, it created an enthusiastic fandom united in their love for the galaxy far away. However, as this galaxy expanded, so did the divide amongst it's fans to a point of having one of the most divisive fandoms out there. Now, while it's hardly a surprise considering we're talking about 40 plus years of hugely varying content, one still can't help but to wonder: is it even possible for the fandom to return to that uncompromised love for all things Star Wars that defined these early years?

Project Blackwing
With the success of Abeloth: A Star Wars Dark Side Story & The Sith Triumvirate: A Star Wars Dark Side Story I decided to proceed to the EU storyline that I have always thought should be adapted into a stand-alone film. When I first conceptualized this series I debated on which topic to cover first, the three leading contenders were Abeloth, The Sith Triumvirate, and the Blackwing Virus.

The Sith Triumvirate
Back in May, we were treated to the second standalone Star Wars with the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Unfortunately, Solo was quickly slammed by fans soon after its announcement as a story we didn't need to see play out and was met with empty theaters upon its release. Star Wars fans are ready for something new, and they made this clear in their rejection of what was meant to be an act of good faith by the powers that be at Disney and Lucasfilm.
