Thoughtful Reflections on Faith and Life
Having recently watched the previous Star War series, Skeleton Crew, watching the second season of Andor was a bit of a whiplash in terms of tone and maturity levels. While Skeleton Crew was definitely aimed at young audiences, Andor is for maturer audiences, dealing with some very dark themes. This season picks up where the … Read More “Andor: Season Two – Review” »
The latest Star Wars series, The Acolyte has just completed its first season (we don’t know yet if there will be a second season). This series is unique in that it takes place during the High Republic era, thus making it chronologically the earliest stories, far earlier than Star Wars: Episode One. The story revolves … Read More “The Acolyte: Season One – Review” »
There has been a shift in Star Wars content from movies to television series, with some being better than others. The most recent of these series is Ahsoka. The live-action version of Ahsoka made her debut in a recent season of the Mandalorian but Star Wars fans would have known about her long before that. … Read More “Ahsoka: Season One – Review” »
This is a great time to be a Star Wars fan, as not only do we have some new movies, there have been a number of new television series set in the Star Wars. One of the best of these is the Mandalorian. I find it interesting that a new character like the Mandalorian could … Read More “The Mandalorian: Season Three – Review” »
I have been a Star Wars fan for about forty-five years (Star Wars has been around for about forty-five years). For a long time we had only three movies and a few other projects we don’t talk about. And now we have new Star Wars stories coming out on a regular basis. Andor is the … Read More “Andor: Season One – Review” »
One of the most important characters in the very first Star Wars movie was Obi-Wan Kenobi. Near the end of that movie, we see Obi-Wan being killed by Darth Vader. At that time, we did not know much of their story. This was filled out in the prequels as we watched the development and eventual … Read More “Obi-Wan Kenobi – Review” »
I am a big fan of the original Star Wars trilogy. One of my favourite characters was Boba Fett, even though he didn’t have a huge role. He just looked really cool and I was a bit sad when he “died” in Return of the Jedi. But we found out that he didn’t die in … Read More “Book of Boba Fett – Review” »
The Mandalorian is some of the best Star Wars story telling that has ever been told. It is even better than some of the original trilogy. One of the things that I love about it is that delves deep into the Star Wars mythology, including the animated series. You don’t have to know all that … Read More “Mandalorian: Season Two – Review” »
I have been a Star Wars fan for a long time. I have enjoyed the movies but I have not watched the animated TV series. I was excited when I heard about the possibilities of a Star Wars TV series. They could have gone in a number of directions with a Star Wars series. They … Read More “The Mandalorian: Season One – Review” »
There is a lot of pressure on the third instalment of a trilogy. It has to pull together all the plot-lines from the previous movies. Rise of Skywalker is not only the conclusion of one trilogy, it is the conclusion of a trilogy of trilogies. Some people have been critical of this Star Wars trilogy. … Read More “Rise of Skywalker – Review” »
I recently rewatched the original trilogy of Star Wars. I can’t exactly say how many times I have seen these movies. I know this won’t be my last. When I think about these movies, it is difficult for me to separate my nostalgia for the movies from their quality. I was 9 years old when … Read More “Star Wars: The Original Trilogy – Revisited” »
I recently rewatched the Star Wars prequels. I remember when they first came out and all of the excitement that came with it. Unfortunately many people were disappointed with the reality. Here are my thoughts on them after watching them again. Episode I is definitely the weakest of all the Star Wars movies (not just … Read More “Star Wars: The Prequels – Revisited” »
I went to see the latest Star Wars movie, this one based on a young Han Solo. I went into this movie knowing that it was a big disappointment at the box office. It was bad enough that it is making the studio rethink their plans for future Star Wars movies. At the same time, … Read More “Solo – Review” »
Before I saw the Last Jedi in the theatres, I heard reports that it was both the best and the worst Star Wars movie ever. Since then, I have heard more bad reports than good. Some Star Wars fans are outraged by the movie, wishing it had never been filmed. Some feel that it is … Read More “Is the Last Jedi Really That Bad?” »
In anticipation of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I heard reactions from others that ranged from best Star Wars movie ever to the worst. I would disagree with both reactions. I enjoyed The Last Jedi. It was visually very well done. The special effects we see in these movies make it hard to go back … Read More “Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Review” »
I was able to see the new Star Wars movie. I have been looking forward to it but also feeling a little worried. While I didn’t hate the prequels, I did feel that they did not live up to the original trilogy. I am limited on what I can say here as there are some … Read More “Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Review” »
Rogue One has been one of my most anticipated movies in recent times. I love Star Wars, with it being a huge part of my growing up. What I looked forward to about Rogue One was not just that it was set in the Star Wars universe, but it set up A New Hope, the … Read More “Rogue One – Review” »
We have now had a trilogy of trilogies of Star Wars movies, plus some stand alone movies. Some are better than others. What are the best and worst Star Wars movies? This is how I would rank them best to worst. 1. A New Hope – Episode IV (I still think of this as simply … Read More “Star Wars Movies: Best to Worst” »
Tonight Justus and I went out to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I have loved Star Wars since I got my first Chewbacca action figure in my Christmas stocking almost forty years ago. Justus has loved Star Wars since I first introduced him to A New Hope (which I only knew by the name … Read More “Good News: The Force is With Us” »
You know that I was raised Anglican because when I hear someone say “May the force be with you,” I want to respond with “And also with you.” Today is May the fourth, which leads some people to celebrate the great Star Wars movies. I am a Star Wars fan, though mainly episodes IV, V … Read More “May the Force Be With You!” »
