Some Star Wars Birthday Superlatives!

2026/10/08

Today is my birthday, and in honor of the occasion I would like to share some of my "best of" parts of Star Wars. Join me!

The "Truth" Behind Joseph Campbell and Star Wars

2026/10/07

Over the years, many myths have developed concerning the making of Star Wars. In the last little while, some of those simplifications have been corrected. One of them is the effect of American mythologist Joesph Campbell on the saga. Join me as I explain.

The Only "Special Edition " Change I Can't Stand

2026/10/07

29 years ago, Star Wars celebrated its 20th Anniversary. The occasion was marked by the re-release of the Original Trilogy in theaters. This was also the first time that George Lucas made significant alterations to the films. Join with me as I share the only change that he made that still bothers me to this day...

Celebrating the Lightsaber!

2026/10/05

One of the distinctive characteristics of Star Wars is the concept of the lightsaber. Every child wants to have one of their own so they can fight their own epic battles. This was certainly true of me. But as I've gotten older, I've come to realize that the ultimate paradox of the lightsaber that it is a weapon best not used at all. Join me as I explain!

The Last Jedi and the Interpretation of Force Visions

2026/10/02

Several times in 2017's The Last Jedi, characters receive premonitions through the Force. We discover that even though these predictions turn out to be correct, the way the individuals in question chose to interpret them was incorrect. This is because they allowed their own personal feelings to get in the way of the truth. Join me as I explain...

From American Graffiti to Star Wars

2026/10/01

The 1970's was an amazing time for American film. And being part of that generation, George Lucas was able to bring his own unique flavor to the mix. While his crowing achievement will always be Star Wars, I wanted to take some time to talk about his 1973 classic American Graffiti. Join me!

Why More than One Actor Can Play a Character

2026/09/30

Several Star Wars animated characters have been brought to life in live-action. Most of the time this requires recasting from their original voice actors. While some fans have difficulty with this transition, I do not, and I would like to explain why. Join me!

Random Trek: "Spock Vs. Q"

2026/09/30

The child-like, mischievous entity known as Q is one of the more popular characters to appear in the modern era of Star Trek. Actor John de Lancie injects so much energy into this "trickster god" that he is hard to resist. But what if he were to come up against an intellectual giant like Mr. Spock? That's exactly what they did at a convention several years ago. Join us as we take a look at this memorable moment.

What is the Significance of the Mortis Gods?

2026/09/25

Way back in Season 3 of The Clone Wars, our heroes found themselves transported to another plane of existence wherein they encountered three powerful entities that represented aspects of the Force. Those same three beings have been referenced in a major way in the Ahsoka series. Join me as I speculate responsibly.

Filling Out "The Lost Years"

2026/09/24

There are 10 years between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Aside from a few details, we don't know a lot about what happened during these years. Join me as I explain what is known and discuss why I would like to see theses stories fleshed out.

Why Haven't We Seen More Podracing?

2026/09/24

The Boonta Eve Podrace is one of the most memorable scenes in The Phantom Menace and indeed all of Star Wars. As iconic as it is, my question would be: Why haven't we seen more podracing in the saga? Join me as I think on this subject.

My Three Favorite Star Wars Video Games!

2026/09/21

With the recent release of Star Wars: Zero Company, and Galactic Racer on the horizon, I thought I would take a trip down memory lane to tell you about my three favorite Star Wars video games. Join me!

Is Shmi Skywalker Force Sensitive?

2026/09/19

One of the characters that has always stood out to me in the Star Wars saga is the mother of the Chosen One, the quietly courageous Shmi Skywalker. It was she who was responsible for raising the good man that was Anakin, and was selfless enough to let her son go to become a Jedi. But one question has not yet been answered: Was she Force sensitive? Join me as I address this question and a few others.

The Ancient History of the Darksaber!

2026/09/17

The Star Wars shows have shown us the "recent" history of the darksaber in detail. The ancient history of the blade has only been hinted at throughout the franchise. Join me as I piece together what we know and speculate responsibly about what could be in the long tale of this particular relic...

From Lucas to Milius to Kurosawa!

2026/09/16

When George Lucas was a young film student at the University of Southern California, he met another aspiring filmmaker named John Milius. The latter introduced Lucas to the cinema of a prolific Japanese master named Akira Kurosawa. The effect this brilliant sensei has had on Star Wars cannot be overstated. Join me!
