November 23rd, 20181553Although Solo: A Star Wars Story didn’t perform as well as many had hoped at the box office, I am very fascinated by this movie. The new characters, environments, and story elements detailing Han Solo’s early life keep bringing me back to Solo time-after-time. My favorite scene from Solo is when Han, Chewbacca, and Beckett and his...
November 22nd, 20182318The Christmas season will soon be upon us, so the Coffee With Kenobi elves have been busy coming up with a unique, fun, and varied selection of gift ideas to help you out during this busy time of the year. We gathered around Santa's Workshop, chugged way too much hot chocolate (with marshmallows!), ate more candy canes than was...
November 13th, 20180205Heavy hearts as we mark the passing of Stan Lee, who co-created some of Marvel's most enduring characters and, thankfully, reconsidered his position against adapting a yet-to-be released sci-fi film that was to be called Star Wars by Marvel (thank you, Roy Thomas, for convincing him otherwise!). We remember Lee for the visionary that...
October 29th, 2018094In his latest piece for IGN, Coffee With Kenobi host Dan Z examines the symbolism surrounding Han Solo's fate in the carbon freeze chamber of Cloud City in a truly iconic moment from The Empire Strikes Back. What does this moment tell us about the man himself, and his growth as a character? Check out an excerpt below: Han...

October 3rd, 20180170The much-maligned (at least based upon the first impression) Lando Calrissian was the first character we were introduced to that walked the line of good guy/bad guy that we weren't sure could be trusted. Even Han didn’t try to screw over the rebellion, he just wanted to be left alone. Lando, on the other hand, always looked out for...

September 21st, 20183227This blog contains spoilers for the Solo: A Star Wars Story expanded edition novelization by Mur Lafferty. Star Wars is a plethora of content nowadays, and from the looks of it, I'd say that isn't going to change anytime soon. And why should it? Better yet, let me rephrase that, why would we want it to stop? To put this into Star...
September 14th, 20184889I saw Solo: A Star Wars Story twenty times during its theatrical run. Yes, 20 times. I wasn't even particularly excited about Solo, but it ended up being important to me and my fandom. That, as much as the film itself, took me by surprise. Oddly enough, without a clearly defined reason, my fandom had waned in recent years. I wish I...
