Episode IX Theories: From a Certain Point of View: Pt. 2 The High City and Kylo and the Rens.

Thanks for joining me for part two of my Rise of Skywalker theories. Part one theorized about the desert planet at the beginning of the trailer. Today we look at the city pictured below and Kylo Ren deciding not to get the band back together. I also want to repeat that I have not seen […]

Ep. IX Theories…From a Certain Point of View. Pt 1: On the Desert Planet

The Rise of Skywalker!!! What a trailer! To say I am excited would be an understatement. After a long wait, we have finally gotten our first images and clues as to what may be happening in Episode IX. I know fan theories are everywhere, but I’ve been thinking about it a while and here’s my […]

10 Things Star Wars: Battlefront Needs.

I played Star Wars: Battlefront I and II more than I can possibly imagine. When Xbox 360 came out, I talked my wife into the purchase because ” Battlefront III was coming soon.” Years went by and that didn’t happen. Now EA and DICE have released the new Star Wars: Battlefront and it is not […]

The More You Know: 10 Things I Want to See in the Sequel Trilogy Updated

A while back, I wrote this post about what I hoped to see in the new movies. Now that we’ve seen some trailers and a poster or two, I thought it would be interesting to revisit this list. Just so you know, I stay away from spoilers. I watch the trailers. I read the magazine […]

Why Luke Skywalker has not Turned to the Dark Side.

We are less than 50 days away from the most important event in the galaxy since… since… well a long time ago. The last few days have given us fanboys and fangirls a lot to chew on with the new poster and trailer. Nothing however has sparked as much interest as: WHERE THE HECK IS […]

Some Original Trilogy Guests Confirmed for Celebration

News on Star Wars Celebration had been pretty light. No big names or much of anything. This week things are starting to heat up. The first big guests have been announced. Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels and Kenny Baker (better known to SW geeks as Princess Leia, C3PO and R2-D2) will be attending and signing autographs […]

New Star Wars Arcade Game

If you’re like me, you’ve blown up the Death Star… a lot. Especially in the original Star Wars arcade game. Real sound effects. Real Star Wars music. Totally unrealistic vector graphics! I played the Hoth out of that thing. It was great. Take out the TIEs, take out the towers, go for the trench, “Use […]

The Magic of Matte

Gizmodo has an amazing feature on the matte paintings used in the original trilogy. There is some gorgeous work there. Some I didn’t know were full paintings. Check this one out with Slave I. I assumed the background was painted but not the ship itself. Pretty amazing work. Of course, now this is basically a […]

Rumor: The Force Awakens Will Feature Female Stormtrooper(s)

According to BBC journalist Lizo Mzimba, English actress Amybeth Hargreaves is playing a stormtrooper in Ep. VII. Some conjecture says she is a double for Gwendoline Christie (of Game of Thrones fame.) Who knows, but this is so awesome. We need more diversity in Star Wars. It’s not enough to have 50 alien species if […]
