Moved to Tears by Return of the Jedi

This is an embarrassing post. However, it’s been a trying week and I’ve promised I’ll always be honest with you.

Another Unanswered Question from Return of the Jedi

I made available again a post that had stayed locked when my blog went active again recently. I hadn’t realized it was locked down still until I referred to it in a conversation with a pal. I think I made a joke in there somewhere but…whatever. The important point is, it’s called Luke Skywalker: Crisis Manager, and […]

Naked Yoda

Don’t worry, I’m not going to go too weird with this post about Yoda. Well, not “sexual weird,” at least.

A Random Unanswered Question from Return of the Jedi

A lot of debates can be had about the Rebel strike team’s plan, or the Empire’s, for the moon called Endor in Return of the Jedi, One that I see consistently overlooked, has to do with C-3PO.

Han Solo, The Tin Man and Inception

When in such a predicament, the mind will develop one way or the other. It can either snap into madness or, like the Buddha, reach ultimate enlightenment.

Why I Love the Original Return of the Jedi soundtrack LP so much

This past Christmas, I purchased a vinyl edition of the Return of the Jedi soundtrack for my good friend @TheInsaneRobin. It was partially a gag because he’s super-hipster about his vinyl collection (or as I’ve named them, “less-convenient MP3s”), but the album was carefully selected as a nod to a very important album in my personal history both as a Star Wars fan and a developing human being.

Luke Skywalker: Crisis Manager

It’s not that Luke had a convoluted plan, it’s that things constantly went sideways and he kept trying to adapt the plan.

Can Droids See Force Ghosts?

Netflix recently unleashed the entire run of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, including the sixth and final never-before-seen season, which dominated my weekend watching habits and has doubly reinvigorated my mental pursuit of esoteric Star Wars questions on top of the recent exchanges on Words With Nerds. Often I promise these sorts of blogs will […]

Hot Wookiee Love

On the February 20, 2014 episode of Words With Nerds, I posited an ethical question rooted in Star Wars, the answer to which may carry implications for all of sci-fi, really. Is it bestiality to make love to a Wookiee? I suspect the initial response around the table would be an emphatic “no!” While I’m […]

AT-ATs of Endor

Recently, Craig baited me into an argument about AT-ATs on Endor, and then felt the need to enlist Jar Jar Hater into his losing arguments.

Luke n’ Carbonite

Recently, regular blog commenter and occasional influencer Tom (who really deserves a proxy vote at any meeting of the Convocation) asked the question, “Why does Luke need to be frozen in Carbonite?” The stock answer is, so the lil’ scamp won’t cause problems on his way to the Emperor. You have to imagine that a […]

Flashback Blog: I Must Obey My Master

Yep. 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 […]

Five Star Wars Memes That Need to Be Retired Permanently

This is going to be a bit therapeutic for me. As a Star Wars fan, one of the crosses to bear is the memes that spring up and seem to be reborn every so often. Like weeds, you think you got them all but then some root spits out an ugly strand and before you […]
