Read More Another Way George Lucas Schooled Us AllYep. I’m still in the process of reclaiming my old blogs from their old origin points to protect them from being locked away from me for good. I’m also very tired and going to sleep pretty much immediately after I post this. This time, I decided to nab another one that explores the nature of […]
Read More Flashback Blog: I Must Obey My MasterTo wrap up the reviews, we turn to the third film released in the series, sixth in the chronology and a guaranteed fanbase-splitter. Return of the Jedi is essentially the second half of The Empire Strikes Back, which unfortunately gives it the great burden of resolving every plotline opened in the previous. Will Han Solo […]

I’m going to do more than the whining haters have done for the last decade plus, and that’s give this film an honest critique.
Read More My Honest Reviews of the Star Wars Films: Episode I: The Phantom MenaceWell, this series of blogs is likely to trigger some sort of reaction. What we will have, finally committed to some sort of medium, is my complete and honest critiques of the legendary Star Wars films. Instead of my obligatory defense of things people can’t be bothered to understand, or proving definitively which fan base […]
Read More My Honest Reviews of the Star Wars Films: IntroductionI started this reincarnation of ‘kessel korner’ with a revival of one of its original posts from its days at blogs.starwars.com/kesseljunkie. This is a feature that I’d like to keep going because every so often I pull back on a post slated to auto-publish so I can re-work it a little bit.
