January 1st, 20191222It's the end-of-the-year blowout spectacular special with a less-than-loquacious Jeff comparing and contrasting with Matt what was great about Star Wars comics in 2018 (Doctor Aphra, Poe Dameron and Tales From Vader's Castle), what wasn't so great (questionable editorial decisions) and what was just plain forgettable (looking right at...
December 31st, 20180142Wow! 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...
December 23rd, 20181171Star Wars has many memorable partnerships, mentor relationships, friendships, and pairings. Artoo and C-3PO were the first that audiences ever saw on the big screen. The fussy droid and his wise-beeping, if you will, counterpart charmed audiences in A New Hope. Han and Leia took bickering and banter to new places with The Empire Strikes...
December 3rd, 20184427With the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story new characters were introduced to us that will forever be a part of the Star Wars galaxy. There was also an old character that took on a new appearance: the Millennium Falcon. But from the vast amount of characters in Star Wars, the unsung hero of that group, in my opinion, is the Falcon. The...
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...
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, 20183224This 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...
August 3rd, 20184443“I desperately wanted to die,” Ford says. "I thought it would give the myth some body, and that Han Solo, in fact, really had no place to go. He would have best served the situation by giving it the weight of sacrifice, but that was the one thing that I was unable to convince George of. George has a predisposition to happy endings....
July 31st, 20180188We're so deep in smit with Doctor Aphra right now it's not even funny. The latest issue, #22, found Jeff and Matt enjoying the rollicking tale, despite the awkwardness of having not one but two lovers show up! The same with Lando: Double or Nothing #3, which is proving to be a worthwhile addition to Lando's long history and is required...
July 23rd, 20182778Ever since its inception, one of the key elements of Star Wars has been the droids. R2-D2 and C-3PO were the original iconic droids of the franchise. When Disney purchased Lucasfilm and began producing new Star Wars movies, more iconic droids joined the franchise. The Force Awakens delivered BB-8. Next, Rogue One debuted K-2SO. Finally,...
