'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Provides Fun Story and Stellar Performances
A lot of us Star Warsfans have been very apprehensive about the newest anthology film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, myself included. I feel like most of us have just been very hesitant about someone who wasn't Harrison Ford playing Han Solo.

The Hunt for the Hunter: 10 Actors Who Could Star in the Boba Fett Solo Movie. Top Story - May 2018.
Ever since the resurgence of Star Wars, fans have been begging for a Boba Fett solo movie, and it seems that the time has finally come. Back in 2014 this movie was rumored to happen with director Josh Trank and Michael B. Jordan as Boba Fett, but after the disaster that was Fantastic Four, it came as no surprise that the whole project was scrapped. However, it seems that under the steady hands of Logan director James Mangold, the film will finally come to fruition. With no actors rumored to be attached to the project yet, that leaves a clean slate to start from, and I think I have a few select people who could play the part uniquely well.

How ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Fails to Capture the Ethos of the Franchise
Han Solo, intergalactic smuggler and sometime rebel hero, is an icon of science-fiction cinema loved by many around the world. Yes, aspects of his personality are problematic, but fans have either chosen to ignore them or have accepted them as just a(nother) troubling inclusion in the beloved franchise. Like most Star Wars heroes, Solo’s origins are shrouded in mystery. But, in the hands of Disney, no character is safe from an origin story. Solo is just the beginning.

'Star Wars Rebellion' PC Game Review
Amongst my many forays into strategy games and science-fiction universes, Star Wars has been a topic—much like Dune—which raises its head over and over again. Understandably so, Lucas Arts and Lucas Film produce such copious amounts of product that one might spend their lifetime enjoying and understanding it all. As such, it was with great pleasure that—when preparing to do a review series on games from 1998—I happened across Star Wars: Rebellion.

The Stigma Around the 'Star Wars' Prequels
Star Wars fans are a tricky people. Even if you’re not a fan yourself, a person could be pretty familiar with the caricatured portrayal of Star Wars / Trek fans in the media. Which is not to say some portrayals aren’t accurate, the general population has come to the point where being dorky is almost just cool. Star Wars is a huge franchise based on an amazing science fiction story. But there is one part of this story that a lot of fans would like to forget and have seen a lot of critical scrutiny over the years, the Prequels. These films would be; The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002) & Revenge of the Sith (2005). But a funny thing has happened as years passed; the younger generations seems to have adopted a love for these films that was lost on the generation before.

The Star Wars: The Tale Before the Force. Top Story - May 2018.
Greetings, young ones. May the fourth be with you. And if for some reason this article comes out the next day, then long live the fifth. Either way, for Jedi and Sith alike, today is basically one of the largest pop culture holidays of all time. I can't think of any others so widely celebrated. As padawans and their masters celebrate more than 40 years of the force, it’s important to look back where it all started.
