Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
The Worst of the 'Star Wars' Fan Base Are at It Again
A long time ago in a galaxy really quite near, George Lucas gave us the first Star Wars, and thus caused all nerds everywhere to explode with B-movie glee as the rest of the world started to think their weird shit was actually cool.

Running 'Solo'
Admittedly, I grew up on the "original three" Star Wars films. Admittedly, I had high hopes when the prequels came out, especially given the casting choices with Canadian actor Hayden Christensen playing the younger adult version of Anakin "Darth Vader" Skywalker. He is an outstanding actor—as seen in the TV series Higher Ground—but unfortunately, wasn't truly given a chance to shine in the films.

What Went Wrong with 'Solo' and What Does It Mean for Star Wars?
When Star WarsEpisode I: The Phantom Menace was announced, everyone became giddily excited at the prospect of a new adventure in the galaxy far, far away. However, when the movie released, fans were immensely disappointed at the lackluster acting, over the top drama, and of course, Jar-Jar Binks. Little did they know that such a display was to be the status quo for Star Wars for the next six years, as two more prequels came out that people were not very kind too. Naturally, people were disappointed that their beloved saga had been reduced to a melodramatic stage show in space. The fear that Star Wars would never recover would have surely been in people’s minds ten years later, as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was announced. Yet, as we all know, the movie exceeded all expectations and gave the fans a glimpse at how Star Wars could live on and not let itself be defined by an era long past.

Han Solo Movie Review
Don't get me wrong I think Ron Howard put in some great work into making a great Star Wars story after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were taken off the project. I think there is much to be said about the work that they started on and I felt like a lot of the reshoots were done to eliminate some of the comedic dialogue and made the writing feel kind of awkward to me.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD) Solo: A Star Wars Story is one of the biggest box office disappointments in recent history. Currently, Solo: A Star Wars story is sitting at a paltry domestic earnings of $127,745,692 per (Box Office Mojo). Let's just say this is an underwhelming amount especially compared to the main Star Wars films. The question is, why?

'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.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Movie Review (Spoiler Edition)
When I walked into to see this movie, I was astonished to see that the theatre was almost completely empty. I double checked my ticket, convinced that I was at the wrong theatre. After all, this was no ordinary Hollywood flick: it was a Star Wars movie, for crying out loud! The seats should be filled with eager audiences chattering about what they expected from the movie and how it would change the rapidly expanding lore of the revitalised franchise. However, to my great dismay, for the entirety of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the theatre was only filled to one-fourth of its maximum capacity. After seeing the movie, however, I understood why, but at the same time, I felt like its not really the movie's fault.

Spoiler Review: 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
After years of rumours, actor hunting, and behind the scenes problems, Solo: A Star Wars Story finally hit cinemas worldwide last week. The only question is... did it live up to expectations? If you don’t want the big points of the film ruined for you before you go to see it, turn back now! Although the chances of you turning back at this point are probably like... hey, no, I’ll never tell you the odds. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. No, seriously, consider this your warning to remain spoiler free.
