Samurai Androids: Firmware Upgrade
The old suburb was quiet as the sun set; the sky a watercolor palette of oranges and reds bleeding together. The area had once been a full of life, but now only the mournful houses and rusting cars were witness to the slow decay. And they watched wordlessly, their silence a pouting condemnation of the afterlife to which they had been doomed.

I Can’t Stand Corporate Star Wars
I Can’t Stand Corporate Star Wars It’s kind of weird observing this new era of Star Wars films. I was 3 when A New Hope was released, but it wasn’t called A New Hope then. It was just Star Wars, and it changed everything. Star Wars was so popular that Kenner toys was able to sell an empty box as a Christmas present because they hadn’t made the figures yet.

My viewing this Stevening... 'Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker'
On December 5th 1995, The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular aired on television. It was an episode created to act as a satire of all the episodes of American sitcoms that existed merely to show a compilation of clips from prior episodes to remind you of what came before. If the show was long-running enough, it would act as a nostalgia trip, reminding you of the good things that came before, but this episode did so in a way that still added something new that didn't make it feel like a clip show, and had it presented as a kind of inception of Simpsons episodes. Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker basically served as the Star Wars equivalent of a clip episode, except they decided that The Last Jedi just didn't happen, unless they absolutely had to acknowledge it. Spoilers ahead, by the way.

The AI hath written
Before we begin... What I used was OpenAI's GTP2 AI model. You simply type a couple of sentences and the AI continues the text, possibly revealing more about your story/idea you never thought of. Yes, when I do say OpenAI I'm indeed referring to the company that Elon Musk now has his hands on (which I don't have a problem with by the way).

'The Mandalorian': Season 1 Review
I have never written a review for a series before simply because I prefer watching and reviewing films, but since I got Disney+ and I'm a major Star Wars nerd, I decided that it was time to start reviewing a show. And I picked the perfect one.

"The Mandalorian" is Perfect.
There is absolutely nothing NOT to like about Disney's "The Mandalorian" on Disney Plus. It literally checks all the boxes. The show manages to be gritty without being too dark, while making you feel all warm and fuzzy without being cheesy. It's scientifically designed to psychologically push all the right buttons. A badass bounty hunter battles to save an adorable, force wielding, Baby Yoda from what's left of the Imperial forces.
