Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the United States. On that note, I would like to take this time to thank a few specific people for their contributions to the original Star Wars film.

Bodhi Rook, the reluctant Imperial cargo pilot, is absolutely essential to the story of Star Wars. As the whistleblower who revealed the existence of the Death Star to the galaxy, Bodhi ultimately saved the galaxy.

Since the end of the Skywalker Saga two years ago, the Star Wars franchise has turned its attention to the small screen to great success.

Join with me and special guest Chris Ingle as we discuss the state of both franchises as they...

With a live-action Boba Fett series on the horizon, I'm going to allow myself a bit of responsible speculation as to what we might see in this highly anticipated story. The question I would like to pose is: will we see Emelia Clarke's Qi'ra in The Book of Boba Fett. At the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Qi'ra was commanded by Crimson Dawn's leader, Darth Maul, to come to him on the planet Dathomi...

2005's Revenge of the Sith brought to a close George Lucas' Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. While it was generally well received, there were still many elements that met with consternation and disappointment. One of these elements was the line "only a Sith deals in absolutes", spoken by Obi-Wan just before the epic duel. Join with me as we discuss what this line means, as well as how it applies to the...

On the big Disney Investor Day, it was announced that several live-action Star Wars series would be leading to a epic crossover event. It is my opinion that this event will be Thrawn vs. the Republic. Join with me as I explain why this may be the case.

One of the major points of discussion in the Star Wars fandom when the Prequel Trilogy was released was how some of the points established in the Original Trilogy didn't add up to what we saw in the prequels. Particularly Obi-Wan's statement about Anakin wanting Luke to have his lightsaber, and Leia remembering her birth mother. From a real-world standpoint, these are inconsistencies - plain and s...
