Lucasfilm Has No Idea What They're Doing With Star Wars
I realize that it’s beating a dead tauntaun at this point to assert that things have not been going well since the transition.

Let's Talk about Star Wars...
Okay... we've been along for the ride since the beginning. We were Luke Skywalker and Han Solo's geek group. But what the heck!? Somehow we've taken a left turn into an alternate reality. Let's look at a few things from the new movie that make NO SENSE! (In my humble opinion).

What We Learn from Star Wars
Ask anyone who knows me: I have been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. As a child, I didn't really consider much beyond the fun factor. As I got older, though, and as I progressed in my own journey, I kept coming back to the series for inspiration and sagely wisdom. Now that we've concluded the Skywalker Saga, I've compiled five of my favorite lessons; pearls of wisdom we can apply not just to fandom, but to life as well.

Han Solo’s 15 Most Iconic Quotes from ‘Star Wars’
He’s a smuggler, a scoundrel, and a pilot who doesn’t take orders well. He’s also brash, cocky, and a bit rough round the edges. Yet to those who know and love him best, Han Solo is also “the good guy” who would not necessarily be “in it for the money,” such as the many times the former scrumrat from Corellia has proven himself to be a great ally to rebels fighting for a better world in a galaxy far, far away.

Princess Leia's 10 Most Iconic Quotes from 'Star Wars'
"To us, she is royalty." A funny actress, witty author, strong advocate for mental health awareness. Carrie Fisher was all that and more. Yet, the daughter of Hollywood royalty couple, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, will forever be remembered most for her iconic role as the feisty Princess Leia / General Organa of the phenomenally popular Star Wars saga.

Gungan’s Advocate
Across movies, books, games and comics, many interesting characters have made their mark in the Star Wars universe. Few are quite as interesting as a certain Gungan. The village idiot turned war hero turned junior senator known as Jar Jar Binks has the unlikeliest story arc in the Star Wars universe, one that would rival that of Forrest Gump. And yet, this extraordinary figure is often vilified, not just by fans, but by the very people that reside in his universe. How can such a humble and well meaning character fall to such depths of resentment from multitudes of people? What did he do to deserve such unfair treatment?

My Review of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker"
I know it took me a long time to watch Star Wars Episode 9. That's because the movie has been sold out for the longest time and I finally got to see the movie last weekend. How could a movie that's so divisive do so well in the box office? After watching it I know why.

Sheev Shot First: A “Star Wars” Obsessive’s Review of “The Rise of Skywalker”
As a reminder ... WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD I can die now. No, not really, but when Disney announced its acquisition of Lucasfilm on October 30, 2012, for $4.05 billion dollars, my honest first thought was this:

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.
