Movie Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story
After a year of behind the scenes drama that threatened to sink the project, Solo: A Star Wars Story has arrived in theaters. Famously, the directing duo of Lord and Miller were fired from Solo: A Star Wars Story following creative clashes with producer Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. Ron Howard was brought in to salvage the project and wound up reshooting most of the movie.

How ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ Fails to Capture the Ethos of the Franchise
Han Solo, intergalactic smuggler and sometime rebel hero, is an icon of science-fiction cinema loved by many around the world. Yes, aspects of his personality are problematic, but fans have either chosen to ignore them or have accepted them as just a(nother) troubling inclusion in the beloved franchise. Like most Star Wars heroes, Solo’s origins are shrouded in mystery. But, in the hands of Disney, no character is safe from an origin story. Solo is just the beginning.

'Star Wars Rebellion' PC Game Review
Amongst my many forays into strategy games and science-fiction universes, Star Wars has been a topic—much like Dune—which raises its head over and over again. Understandably so, Lucas Arts and Lucas Film produce such copious amounts of product that one might spend their lifetime enjoying and understanding it all. As such, it was with great pleasure that—when preparing to do a review series on games from 1998—I happened across Star Wars: Rebellion.

The Stigma Around the 'Star Wars' Prequels
Star Wars fans are a tricky people. Even if you’re not a fan yourself, a person could be pretty familiar with the caricatured portrayal of Star Wars / Trek fans in the media. Which is not to say some portrayals aren’t accurate, the general population has come to the point where being dorky is almost just cool. Star Wars is a huge franchise based on an amazing science fiction story. But there is one part of this story that a lot of fans would like to forget and have seen a lot of critical scrutiny over the years, the Prequels. These films would be; The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002) & Revenge of the Sith (2005). But a funny thing has happened as years passed; the younger generations seems to have adopted a love for these films that was lost on the generation before.

Star Wars the Clone Wars: Chapter Eight
~~Karri P.O.V~~ Lina. I gazed at Lina as she walked inside the command room quietly. Everyone's eyes were on Lina and quickly looked away. Lina walked slowly towards me. Her face was stern as if she was cold as stone. Her arms tightly held a strange metal box. I sensed Lina was very troubled. Cody and Rex exchanged glances.
