  • The Rise of Skywalker

    The Rise of Skywalker

    Continuing my fine tradition of filling my author blog with ramblings about films, here’s some ramblings about the ninth and final (until Disney wants to cash in again) film in the Skywalker saga. I won’t be writing too much about it for now, as I haven’t had time for it…

  • Uplifting of Starkiller

    Uplifting of Starkiller

    I didn’t intend to stay up until 3am to watch the new Star Wars trailer, but when Twitter was full of ‘only 2 minutes until the trailer’ for an hour, it just happened. And it was good.

  • Not Dead Yet

    Not Dead Yet

    You may once again be forgiven for thinking that I might have finally succumbed to the enticing pull of the hereafter. But I haven’t. I just haven’t written anything. Which is different.

  • My Last Jedi Questions

    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…

  • My 11 Force Awakens Questions

    My 11 Force Awakens Questions

    These might not be the most burning questions everyone has, but they are ones that I hope will be answered in the next film – but some I fear won’t be answered at all.

  • The Force Is Awake

    The Force Is Awake

    This will be a pretty short ‘review’ anyway,but before I mention any spoilers, I will say that The Force Awakens is very good. It does suffer from some pacing issues, though, so that it feels too rushed and doesn’t contain any of the more relaxed, slow scenes that the originals…

  • The Force Is With Leia – But Which Side?

    The Force Is With Leia – But Which Side?

    There are some reasons that it would have been potentially disastrous to train Leia as a Jedi. Though she grows as a person throughout the films, she certainly doesn’t display any kind of personality traits conducive to being a Jedi. In fact, could she have ended up being too tempted…
