    My Last Jedi Questions

    I’ve written my non-spoiler review, my spoiler review, and now I’ll cover the things I didn’t mention in some questions left over from the hole-filled The Last Jedi. These are all SPOILERS!

  • The Last Jedi – Good or Bad?

    The Last Jedi – Good or Bad?

    I have still only seen the film once, so some things aren’t as strong in my memory as they could be and I may have forgotten things entirely. That said, the more time passes, the more small and big issues I think of. So, as usual, this isn’t really a…

  • The Last Jedi?

    The Last Jedi?

    I’m quite fond of Star Wars. I’ve watched the original trilogy perhaps literally more times than I can count, and I can count well into two digits. I even liked the prequel trilogy when I first saw them all – though subsequent viewings made me realise how foolish I was.…

  • Jedises? Ben & Rey Skywalker?

    Jedises? Ben & Rey Skywalker?

    The small bits of Star Wars: The Last Jedi artwork that we’ve seen have got people talking again – as though anyone needed an excuse to talk about Star Wars. Who is/are the last Jedi? Who are Rey’s parents? What is the connection between her and Kylo Ren? Why the…

    Wonder, Marvel, and Survival

    Still Alive

    You might be forgiven for thinking that perhaps I had died and decided that in this new state of unliving, I would abandon my blog. This is, you will be ecstatic to hear, not the case.

    BvS: Dawn of Unjustifiable Nonsense

    I have just watched the new Batman v Superman trailer for the second time and I wanted to rant about it. I needed to rant about it.

  • The Force Will Soon Awaken

    The Force Will Soon Awaken

    Are you ready to desperately want to be a Jedi again/still? Star Wars Episode VII is coming soon (December 17 in the UK) and we know little about it so far, aside from rumours and speculation. So here’s some more! I could babble on and on about it for ages,…

    E.T. And Earth 2.0

    “I would venture to say that most of my colleagues here today say it is improbable that in the limitless vastness of the universe we humans stand alone.”

  • Batman: Arkham Knight

    Batman: Arkham Knight

    Everyone is aware that I like games and I like superheroes, so it’s no surprise that I like games about superheroes. The best of these games (not that there are that many) is the Arkham series from developer Rocksteady. There is also the one that the publisher made themselves with…
