Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.

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..

Snoke Is Not Dead in the Last Jedi
*Spoilers for the latest Star Wars movie. If you haven't seen it stay away So you just came back from the Last Jedi. You saw it, liked it but can't figure out how Supreme Leader Snoke, the ultimate badass villain since Palpatine, became shish kebobed by his traitorous apprentice in the ultimate betrayal by a dark sider since Palpatine killed Plagueis. Kylo assumes the mantle of the supreme leader, and henceforth we see no more of Snoke....

Thank You, Mark Hamill
Mark Hamill - thank you. I have been a fan of your Star Wars work from the moment you stepped on screen, and I will admit, I felt cheated at the end of The Force Awakens. Your entrance just 58 seconds before the end credits started rolling left me stunned; just what the hell was happening?

My Thoughts on 'Star Wars'...9 Hours Before the Premiere
On the morning of The Last Jedi premiere, I am beyond excited. My thoughts are scrambling to decide what wonders will happen in this hyped up movie. Will Luke die? Will Kylo turn to the light side of the force? Who are Rey's parents? Why is Snoke here? A whole lot of questions are running through my mind, all of which will be answered. Though I want to delve into these questions and theorize about the possibilities of these questions. These are spoiler-free theories to try to solve the upcoming questions about the movie.

The Last Jedi Review (Non-Spoiler)
Now, I'm not Variety or Holly Willoughby, so you'll find no spoilers here. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the eighth film in the Star Wars franchise and the sequel to 2015's very successful The Force Awakens, but does it match that? Does it surpass it? In some ways yes, and in some no.

The 'Star Wars' Radio Dramas
'A New Hope' Perhaps one of the greatest science fiction movies of the twentieth century, Star Wars has captured the hearts of millions and lost a few of them along the way as the series went back in time. Of course, I’m talking about the prequels, but that’s not the purpose of this review.

Mark Hamill Confirms 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Will Revisit 'The Chosen One' Prophecy: What Does It All Mean?
When George Lucas returned to the Star Wars saga in 1999, he introduced a whole host of new concepts, many of which were never really defined. Perhaps the most enigmatic were prophecies of a mysterious Chosen One, who was destined to somehow bring "balance" to the Force. The Chosen One appeared to be Anakin Skywalker, and the prophecy seemed to be ultimately fulfilled with the redemption of Darth Vader and the death of Palpatine.

Nobody Realized How Many Shots 'Rogue One' Recreated From The Original Trilogy — Until This Beautiful Fan Video
Rogue One was probably the riskiest Star Wars film of all time. Lucasfilm took a huge gamble with the movie; it was a trailblazer for a new range of spinoffs, but also so closely linked to 1977's A New Hope that it needed to stick with the same aesthetics and designs. The end result felt like watching a modern movie that came from a different era.
