For today's episode of Page Turners They Were Not, I sent out a simple question: would you choose the Light Side or Dark Side of the Force? Let us examine the responses we received...

The Star Wars saga is amazing in terms of how many entry points exist for fans. Yesterday I sent out a tweet asking listeners to explain how they first came to that galaxy far, far away. Join with me as I share their responses, as well as tell you how I first came to George Lucas' space opera.

Today I present to you a fan theory that I've had swirling around in my head for some time now, that being that Palpatine aka Darth Sidious may have arranged for the Tusken raiders to kidnap and ultimately cause the death of Shmi Skywalker. This, as we know, drives Anakin into a frenzy in which he slaughters an entire village, leading him further down the dark path which eventually leads to Darth...

From Rey's terrifying interrogation by the sinister Kylo Ren to the passionate kiss amid the ruins of the Final Order, the Star Wars sequel trilogy is full of iconic Reylo moments.

One of the most memorable if not downright confusing scenes of The Last Jedi was Rey in the dark side cave on Ahch-To. Giving into the temptation to learn more about who she is, Rey journeys into a strange realm where she sees countless duplicates of herself. Join with me on this episode of One With the Force as I give you my interpretation of this controversial moment.

When I was a kid, the only Star Wars were the original crusty VHS tapes. Though there were a few other entries in Star Wars, such as the Ewok Adventure movies, the only ones that mattered to me was the original trilogy. As the years have gone on we've seen a major increase in media that can introduce kids and new fans to that galaxy far, far away. Join me as we discuss...

On this inaugural episode of my Friday shows, we ask a simple question: what Force powers would I like to have in real life? Join with me and I'll answer...

From its very inception, Star Wars has been influenced by the political landscape. When George Lucas was in the process of creating his space opera, counter-cultural movements were gaining a foothold in the United States as a result of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. Like many filmmakers of that time, this political upheaval made its way into the films of Lucas. Join with me as we discu...

The Empire Strikes Back had a budget three times the size of the budget for the original film. As a result, George Lucas and company were able to expand the Star Wars galaxy in ways they had not been able to in A New Hope. Today, on this inaugural episode of A Larger World, we will discuss the vehicles and vessels introduced in the second installment of that galaxy far, far away...

Today I inaugurate my new Tuesday show: Certain Point of View, where we discuss all manner of controversial topics pertaining to that galaxy far, far away.

Entering the Star Wars universe in 1985's Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, Wilford Brimley was a beloved star of both big and little screen. Always appearing as a stodgy old curmudgeon, he built a career that has endured for 50 years. He is known to many today as the spokesman for the American Diabetes Association, and has completely changed the way we pronounced "diabetes" in our modern time. Join wi...

Today we ask a simple question: in Revenge of the Sith, did the Force lightning damage Palpatine's face, or did it reveal what he truly looked like underneath? During his climactic battle with Mace Windu, Palpatine releases a massive onslaught of lightning that rebounds off of Mace's lightsaber blade. At that moment it seems that the Chancellor's face is disfigured, but some fans theorize that the...

In April of 2014, Lucasfilm declared that all Star Wars expanded material released prior to that point (except The Clone Wars) would be considered non-canon and be dubbed "Legends". A few fans felt put out by this decision, as many of them had a very emotional connection to the old material. Join with me as we discuss this decision, as well as discuss how the general perception of the Sequel Trilo...

One of the things Star Wars is best known for is its motley collection of spaceships. Each film in the saga has introduced new capital ships as well as small fighter craft. Today we will begin cataloging the spaceships of the Star Wars saga by discussing the ships introduced to us in the movie that began it all, Star Wars: A New Hope.

Reylo is the concept of the romantic relationship that may or may not exist between Ben Solo and Rey in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. While there are many fans who believe in Reylo, there are many others who do not. Join with me as we discuss my own personal feelings on the matter, as well as try my best to explain the situation as a whole.

Join me as we continue our film commentaries with the third entry in the Star Wars saga: Return of the Jedi!

Now that the Star Wars sequel trilogy has been concluded, the question becomes: what will people think about these movies in the years to come? It is my contention that the sequels parallel the original trilogy in terms of audience reaction; the first one gets people in, the second challenges them but they come to accept it, and the third may remain somewhat divisive even many years from now. That...

There are many reasons to love that galaxy far, far away. To me, the two pillars of Star Wars are the lore of the Force and wars in the galaxy. While some fans prefer the latter, I prefer the former. The lore of the Force and its wielders are what draws me to George Lucas' space opera. Join with me as I discuss my preference, as well as explain why these are not mutually exclusive loves.

Lucasfilm just announced a new animated series set to debut next year. The new show will be a spin-off of Star Wars: The Clone Wars entitled The Bad Batch. Join with me as we discuss...

From the Ewoks of the Forest Moon of Endor to the Loth-wolves of Lothal, the animals of the Star Wars galaxy seem to be agents by which the Force itself strikes back against those who would disrupt the balance. Join with me as we discuss the power of nature in Star Wars.
