“This is it then?” She turns to me with that smile, the cloudless, fiery orange sky behind her and that glow of blonde hair. What’s it been now since I first saw that smile? Five weeks? Five years? Who knows, we’ve been caught in a moment for so long now, the two of us, the road and the plan.

'The Last Jedi': Holding My Breath
I realize that when Star Wars: The Force Awakens bowed two years ago at around Christmas time, it was essentially a retelling of 1977's Star Wars, but with an updated storyline and a new cast. I know that, but I fell in love with this new series of Star Wars films and almost since the last frame of The Force Awakens, I've been eagerly anticipating the soft open of The Last Jedi, the next installment of this current trilogy, on December 14.

Star Wars-Crossed Lovers: John Boyega Teases Finn And Poe Relationship For 'The Last Jedi'
As the Lucasverse powers up its lightsabers once more for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, fans of the sci-fi spectacle are breathing heavily into their Vader respirators in anticipation of Episode VIII. However, even with two action-packed trailers, the plot of the film is still more shadowy than Kylo Ren's true intentions. That being said, we could have news of a fan-favorite pairing that could rock that galaxy far, far away forever.

Stellar Cruise Part 3
As the years long journey continues, tensions start to rise as the passengers and crew suffer through boredom... The game had not been as easy to program as Jesivel thought it would be.

Stellar Cruise Part 4
Kestra manages to make her message heard, the will of the bored zombies is begining to crumble... The past week Kestra had been under cabin arrest was the worst in history. She was so bored that she was about to rip her long furs out in frustration. The charge had been passenger harassment, which was fine, technically she had been harassing, well, everyone. But the sentence was unjustified, literally as soon as she was officially charged, she was sentenced. The captan was just after her to stop her religious crusade, just like every authority figure in the known galaxy.

Stellar Cruise Part 2
When there is nothing to do, people will find a way Rory shared a cabin with one of her best friends from college. They had shared a dorm for the better part of five years, and were now both on their way to new worlds, to make names for themselves in their respective fields. As recent grads, they had very little in the way of spare cash, so their cabin was the cheapest possible. It was barely big enough for the two racks and tie downs for their trunks. By far, the biggest problem, though, was that it lacked private facilities. But since they just got out of the dorm, and new each other so well, what was another 2 years of skirting the halls barely dressed before and after a shower. All in all, it was almost tolerable.

Stellar Cruise Part 1
Just another day on an interstellar cruise, we find some of the passengers getting to know each other... The darkness of space stretched infinitely in all directions. One could look out any viewport and see the same shimmering black velvet, broken only occasionally by brief flashes as a celestial body was passed. Though there were many similarities between the seaside and the starscape, it was mostly a contrast.

Stellar Cruise Part 5
When things finally come to a head, will the passengers and crew be ready... The Zala’s senior staff met every ship’s morning in the main conference room behind the bridge. The room was dominated by an oblong table that kind of resembled a fat plantain. The senior most of the staff sat around it while their aids and junior lieutenants stood behind them. Screens displayed ships status and viewports on either side showed the void of space in its ebony glory.

Outrun Stories #33
They creep in the night and the feast on the souls of men. At least that’s what they say, those are the stories they tell you when you’re a kid. Doesn’t change too much when you’re an adult either really, but you tend to believe it a little less. At least most people do.
