Page Turners They Were Not

Perhaps the most frustrating creation in all of cinema, Jar Jar Binks has cemented himself as the poster child of annoying side characters. But is there more to his idiocy than meets the eye? Join with me as we discuss how one Gungan brought down the Galactic Republic.

Last week, Lucasfilm unveiled information regarding the red stormtroopers known as Sith Troopers which will appear in The Rise of Skywalker. With Kylo Ren claiming to reject the Sith, what could these mysterious soldiers imply for the future of the First Order and indeed the future of Star Wars?

In 1967, a young USC student released the short film Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which proved to be a significant step on his long journey to become the leviathan of the film industry he is today. In honor of George Lucas, let's talk about the two theatrical films he made prior to the release of Star Wars.

Much has been said of the crappy alterations made to the Star Wars Original Trilogy over the years. While I agree that most of the changes have been to the detriment of these classic films, there are a few that I enjoy. Let me share with you which ones...

This iconic droid, counterpart to the prissy protocol-keeper C-3PO, has saved the day in every episode of the Star Wars Saga. Join me as we discuss this oft-overlooked hero.

Given its critical and financial success, it would seem that the Star Wars franchise will be with us for a long time. With that in mind, let me give you a list of five directors, plus one runner up, who I would love to see direct films in this beloved saga.

Chris Taylor's phenomenal book was one of the most compelling things I've ever read. Today I would like to tell you why a sequel would be a fantastic idea!

In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a character named Saw Gerrera made his film debut, played by the brilliant Forest Whitaker. Saw made his first appearance on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is an animated show. Let's talk about times when it was rumored that other animated characters in the Star Wars universe would be making a transition to live-action. Did these rumors hold water? Let's discuss.

In honor of this 4th of July, let me share with you my favorite films of all time. Though not completely devoted to Star Wars, several films in the franchise may appear on my list. Tune in to find out which ones!

Now that I've finished discussing the planets of the Star Wars films, I would like to begin cataloging the major characters in order of appearance. With that said, let us begin with "Goldenrod" himself.

With "The Mandalorian" and "The Rise of Skywalker" on the horizon, let's take this time to get excited about all the new Star Wars content heading our way, with particular emphasis on the Benioff and Weiss Trilogy.

With The Rise of Skywalker on the horizon, I'm beginning to wonder if Kylo Ren and Rey will end up as a couple. This got me thinking about how love has played a pivotal role in shaping the Star Wars galaxy, for both good and ill.

For the 20th Anniversary of Star Wars in 1997, special editions of each film of the original trilogy were released in theaters. Though this was generally met with much enthusiasm, there was some consternation in regards to the changes made to the films. Let me share with you my thoughts on these new releases, and the subsequent changes made to the DVD editions.

In this concluding episode of our catalog of the planets of the Star Wars films (at least for the time being), we discuss the sandy world of Savareen. Tobias Beckett and Han Solo have brought the unrefined coaxium to be refined so that they may present it to Dryden Vos and regain his favor. But things don't go exactly as planned...

At the time of the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Peter Cushing had been dead for more than 20 years. Instead of recasting the character of Governor Tarkin, Lucasfilm decided to digitally recreate the original actor. Was this a good idea? Let me share with you my thoughts.

Throughout the Star Wars films, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader has been brought to life by the talents of nine actors. In honor of these gentlemen, let us celebrate the contributions they have made in the creation of one of the most iconic characters of all time.

Because I was too young to have experienced the Kenner Star Wars action figures, my childhood as a fan was dominated by the Micro Machines line of Star Wars toys. I still have them, and it's wonderful to see my nephews and niece experiencing the same joy with these toys that I did in the 1990's.

In Star Wars, C-3PO mentions the spice mines of Kessel. That was in 1977. It was not until Solo: A Star Wars Story in 2018 that we actually got to see this infamous world. Let's now discuss what happened there, and whether I would like to call this planet home.

Yesterday, I heard a fan say that Anakin should not have been redeemed in Return of the Jedi. I completely disagree with this position, and therefore I've decided to take this opportunity to explain my feelings on this matter.

In 1997, the American Film Institute (AFI) made a list of what they considered the 100 Greatest American Movies. Star Wars placed 15th. In 2007, the AFI released a 10th Anniversary list which placed Star Wars at number 13. I had assumed they would do a 20th Anniversary list in 2017, but they did not, which left me a bit surprised. So for today's episode, let us imagine where Star Wars would place...

Have you ever wondered how the Galactic Empire, a mechanized superpower, could be defeated by a ragtag group of rebels and their teddy bear cohorts? The answer may lie with the Emperor himself, and his knowledge of the Force.

In Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, we are presented with two major questions in regards to the Sith. One, why do the Sith choose to reveal themselves at that particular time; and two, how does Yoda know that there are only two Sith Lords at a time?

After Han Solo and Chewbacca joined Tobias Beckett and his crew, they traveled to the snowy world of Vandor to steal a shipment of coaxium from the Empire. Of course, this leads to an interesting series of events to say the least.

A new canon Star Wars novel gives us the prophecy of the Chosen One in exact detail. How does this new bit of information further enhance our understanding of Anakin Skywalker's role in that galaxy far, far away...

I've been watching the Star Wars movies for so long that I don't remember my first time. There are, however, two moments from the original trilogy that really caught my attention, and caused my childhood imagination to go wild.
