Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Thoughts and Final Opinion
"This is not going to go the way you think!" Luke Skywalker pretty much summed up what the movie said to fans of Star Wars right there, and I, like majority of the people in the theatre, sat in shock and confusion as the credits of The Last Jedi rolled across the screen. It took me a couple of hours to process the events of the movie, weigh out the pros and the cons, before sitting in front of my laptop and writing a spoiler free review that I posted on futurism.media that same night. I knew that I needed to see the film one more time in order to get my thoughts sorted in a coherent and proper way. And so, having seen the film today, here I am.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review
Hayden's Overall Grade: B Finally the wait is over as Star Wars The Last Jedi has officially arrived in theaters. Star Wars fans around the world have been waiting for this moment since the end credits of Force Awakens two years earlier. The anticipation was at an all time high and people were counting down the minutes until the opening crawl began to move across the screen. Surprisingly, what followed in the next two and a half hours was a shocking, twisting rollercoaster ride of emotional distress and jubilant celebration.

The Last Jedi
So obviously there might be some spoilers ahead. With the crowd and critics so divided about the movie, it's hard to not be on one side or the other. If you watched Star Wars for the first time, this movie was probably super amazing and you have no clue why some people are hating on it. However, if you're a true fanatic you're sitting there wondering how Disney managed to mess up your whole life's devotion to this one thing. I get it. I get both sides.

Why I Love the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm scum. Perhaps rebel scum for daring to utter the opinion that the Star Wars prequel trilogy is anything but utter garbage. Maybe you're right, maybe you're an authoritarian sack of shit that can't handle someone having a different opinion to you. I dunno, just a thought I guess, but here's my coming out story; I LOVE the Star Wars prequels.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': A Review
Last night I went with a friend to see the much anticipated second film in the latest Star Wars trilogy, mysteriously sub-titled The Last Jedi. In typical Disney fashion, the secrets of this movie were on lockdown. Nobody knew what to expect other than what was fed to us by the posters, images, and trailers authorised for release by the studio. There was many a theory about what the posters signified, what the brief flashes of scenes in the trailers showed, many just wanting to know precisely what really was next in store for the Skywalker saga. I will note once again at this point, that this is my review of the movie, I'm making the decision not to steer clear of spoilers as I will be touching upon scenes and moments that really caught my attention and made me go "WOW!" that are ultimately spoilers.

The People vs. 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'. Top Story - December 2017.
'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Well…you just had to want different, didn’t you? You just had to call The Force Awakens predictable and formulaic? It seems Rian Johnson was listening and said fair enough everyone, not-your-father’s Star Wars it is, then. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is what you deserve.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - A Review
Let me just say one thing before I get into the review: this is going to be spoiler free, so have no fear of me crushing your hopes and dreams for this movie. That being said, without giving away any pivotal plot points, it's going to be difficult to convey everything I want to, so a follow up analysis of the movie will probably be coming up with spoilers, but this is going to be an overall look at the film, what I thought of it, and what it means for the franchise.

Rogue One Review: The Force Was Strong With This One
Fresh off of my movie theatre experience of seeing this movie, this usually cynical and unenthused writer must admit that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is perhaps the best in the series since The Empire Strikes Back. Last Christmas we obviously got the present of The Force Awakens, which turned out to be, in my opinion, a regurgitated mess of A New Hope all over again. However, this was an all new story put to the screen, and it certainly lived up to the hype. I'll be breaking down the (mildly non-spoiler) ups and downs of the new movie, and I hope that this review will influence your opinion on the movie as well.

Carrie Fisher, 'The Last Jedi,' and Nuance
I will preface this by saying that there will be #nospoilers in this post about Carrie Fisher and #TheLastJedi. Watching The Last Jedi was a surprisingly emotional experience in some respects. I've always enjoyed watching Carrie Fisher as everyone's favorite galactic princess; she was feisty and tough and every bit the fearless female that I hope my girls grow into being. Certainly, as my family and I were lined up for the 9:30 pm showing of The Last Jedi, I was not particularly thinking that this would be Carrie Fisher's last cinematic ride, but the moment she stepped on screen, it hit me.

This Week on the Internet: Dashcam Captures a Crashed down TIE Fighter!
Over the years, Dashcams have served as an immensely helpful tool in capturing hurricanes ripping apart urban development projects and meteors lighting up the Russian skyline. Well, this time, a dash cam of a moving car has captured what looks like a crashed down Tie Fighter on a German highway. Holy shit!

Darkness Rose and Light Met It
Do you feel it? The anticipation building in the auditorium. The murmurs of questions unanswered. The feeling buzzing in your fingertips. And then it begins. The triple notes. The dark screen and the preface of a distance time and a galaxy not our own, children of all ages inhale a collective breath and cheering erupts from the seats. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. It is not the first and it will not be the last time. Yet this time is more exciting than the last.

Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens Teaser: Everything You Wanna Know About!
Within few seconds of the trailer, we meet up with this guy... Where am I? Now I understand that he is super excited to be part of the movie, but he's in deep shit. Stranded in the desert planet (maybe Tatooine), he's either on the run or maybe he's a de facto member. Hard to say whether or not he stole that Imperial Stormtrooper suit. He's messed up..
