Wow! Sitting here this evening, looking back over 2018, I can’t help but grin at what a Star Wars studded year this was! It began riding the high of The Last Jedi still in theaters. The wave continued with the May release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. While I was sad to see it come to a close, the last season of Rebels was a fitting end...
“Which way should I go?” – Luke, to Yoda, in Star Wars Forces of Destiny’s "The Path Ahead"
Watching this episode of Forces of Destiny, listening to the conversation between Luke and Yoda during one of Luke’s early Jedi training exercises on Dagobah, I can’t help but think about the fact that in a few short days I will be...
It’s been one week since the opening of Han Solo: A Star Wars Story was released in movie theaters across the country. To date, I’ve seen it three times, and I have to tell you – I love it! Am I going to say more than that about the newest Star Wars movie? At this particular point in time, no. In the future, sure, but not now....
And 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. My suspicion was correct. Tickets for the upcoming cinematic offering that centers on that much...
I was 18, on the cusp of my last year as a teenager when this little space fantasy I had heard about hit theaters in 1977. At first, I wasn’t sure if I’d go see the film – mostly because it was touted as a sci-fi movie. Truth be told, that really wasn’t my cup of tea back then. However, I had seen American Graffiti four years...
Two paths. Two possibilities present themselves, each with the promise of immeasurable delights. One path steeped in tradition; one a new and exciting undertaking. Which to choose? Which to choose?
A bit earlier this month, Coffee With Kenobi put forth the inviting temptation to accompany our very own media specialist, Lisa D., to...
One’s a little bit light side. One’s a little bit dark side. They balance each other out. Which seems almost fitting since the co-hosts of the podcast “Star Wars Geek Girl” – California’s Lizzy Perales and Pennsylvania’s Zoe Hinton – pretty much bookend the country. Thanks to the internet, the two teens “met”, forged...
While I am a bit surprised that today, in late 2017, gender biases still exist in some circles, as I pointed out in the middle post of this series: the more things change, the more they stay the same. Still, it is heartening to learn female fans of Star Wars care not one whit about what anyone thinks. We like what we like, and we make no...
Where were you the morning of December 27, 2016 when you heard that our – yes, I’m using the possessive – very own princess had passed from this terrestrial sphere? It was two days after Christmas, and I was riding pretty high. I already had seen Rogue One a couple of times. Both my girls were home from their far-flung homes . I...
Can you feel it? There’s an energy pulsing through the air. It’s palpable. It’s electrifying. It’s so strong I can feel it coursing through every pore of my being.
Spring has sprung!
You might argue that I am a little behind the times. After all, the calendar marked the beginning of the season last month. But for those...
