May 31st, 20181323It’s been one week since the opening of Han Solo: A Star Wars Story was released in movie theaters across the country.

May 8th, 20181429And how did you celebrate your Star Wars Day? Me? As soon as I woke from a not-very-good-night’s sleep, I turned on my computer, launched my Internet browser, and learned that tickets to Han Solo: A Star Wars Story were indeed on sale.
