March 25th, 20181116We’re swiftly closing in on the latest entry in the Star Wars film series, so you will soon get a break from my monthly ramblings on this subject. However, until that time comes, strap in, I’m about to jump to Hyperspace! In 2016, Disney and Lucasfilm took what some called a HUGE gamble and released a film that takes place outside...
February 25th, 20181142We have almost caught up with Lucasfilm’s output! Up until now, I’ve been discussing films that have been in my life for a decade or more, so my thoughts and opinions have been pretty well solidified. This month, we are entering new territory. This month, I’ll be sharing with you my thoughts on what it is about Star Wars Episode...
January 25th, 20181123This latest entry in my retrospective of the Star Wars films is one that I have wrassled with for a bit. I say “wrassled” instead of “wrestled” because it’s been a real fight. In 2008, The Clone Wars television series was set to premier on Cartoon Network. George Lucas was SO impressed with what he saw, that he decided to give...
December 25th, 20172133You guessed it, it’s time for MORE of my thoughts, musings, and ruminations on the Star Wars films. As I continue my movie-by-movie discussion about what elements keep me coming back, we’ve reached the point in the journey where we talk about Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, which is my favorite of the prequel trilogy. As I’ve...
November 25th, 20172102Wow, this series is speeding by MUCH faster than I anticipated, we’re already to number 5!!! Thank you for sticking with me and indulging my rememberries. It’s time to discuss another of the most divisive entries in the Star Wars saga: Episode II: Attack of the Clones. This is the lowest-performing film at the box office, and I think...
October 25th, 2017473Ok, here goes. We’ve made our way through the original trilogy, so that means it must be time to go back to the very beginning. It’s obviously not ALWAYS a very good place to start, since George Lucas didn’t start there, which is why we’re discussing it now. And I promise that’s the last Sound of Music reference I’ll make for...
September 25th, 2017260It’s that time again! Are you guys enjoying these? I know I am, so even if you’re not, they’re gonna keep on coming. So strap yourselves in. The next film in my discussion of the things that bring me back to the Star Wars films is the most hotly-debated film in the original trilogy: Return of the Jedi. From the script to the Ewoks...
August 25th, 2017263Hi folks! It’s that time again. We all know I’m a fan of Memory Lane, so here’s another round of rumination for you. As I continue my exploration of what keeps me coming back to each Star Wars film individually, I’m taking a look at The Empire Strikes Back this month. As much as I talked about nostalgia last time, the second film...
July 25th, 2017349Hello there! You may have noticed I was M.I.A. for a couple of months. Or, maybe you didn’t. If you didn’t, good. Just don’t tell me that you didn’t. Anywho, I’m back, baby, better than ever, and I’m ready to inundate you with thoughts, feelings, and remembrances. What you are about to read is part 1 in what will be an...
