May 16th, 20170185"One fighter with a sharp stick and nothing to lose can win the day!" is an absolute statement from Saw Gerrera passed down to his cadre of followers, including Jyn Erso. In the wake of other releases in recent weeks, the audiobook by Beth Revis was released this week, somewhat under the radar. To be honest, I did not even know this...
May 10th, 20171249This review of Star Wars: Rebel Rising contains minor spoilers. There's a sense of wonder, and dread, as you make your way through the opening chapters of Beth Revis' finely crafted and exquisitely paced story of Jyn Erso that plays out through the pages of Star Wars: Rebel Rising.

January 21st, 20171419 "The strongest stars have hearts of Kyber." -- Chirrut Imwe There’s something to be said about this quote or dialogue spoken by the Guardian of the Whills, Chirrut Imwe. It’s amazing what one line can do and how it can trigger a plethora of thoughts; not much different from saying a picture is worth a thousand words. These words...
January 11th, 20172274 During my first viewing of Rogue One I noticed that there some obvious connections and tie-ins with Return of the Jedi. For example, in both movies there are Mons (Mothma and Calamari), shield generators that need to be destroyed, Death Stars that become operational, and stolen Imperial ships and codes that the rebels use to...
