Last month I tossed out my idea for a Boba Fett movie followed by a subsequent live action Netflix series following the best known Mandalorian Bounty Hunter from a galaxy far, far away. We’re all still taking in the revelation of Forest Whitaker’s role as Clone Wars character Saw Gerrera in the upcoming “Rogue One”….
I should come right out and admit, I’m not too keen on Disney’s standalone films. Rogue One looks promising; but even with the team behind the “Lego Movie” attached to the Han Solo film, I’m still wary. Rumors also abound of a younger Yoda film or some sort of Obi-Wan Kenobi story. I cannot say…
I have and always will be a Star Wars fan. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t have a thought of or make reference to or use Star Wars. People I work with and interact with during the day all know that I’m ‘that guy’ and into Star Wars. Star Wars Celebration…

The Force Awakens presented two very succinct and definite questions. Is Luke Rey’s father? Who left Rey on Jakku? While I have no direct knowledge of the answer to either, I do intend to narrow the list of suspects down on the mysterious child abandoner. What I’ve surmised may surprise you and may, in fact,…
In the mere weeks now since Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens came out, many of the bloggers here and especially, Mike & Joao on the Podcast have all spoken its praises. We have all fixated on the storyline, the questions that have been brought up and some of our favorite moments of the…
… General Who? … In the original trilogy we were introduced to Princess Leia. She was a spunky, forthright, upholder of freedom and seeking to end the oppressive rule of the Empire. She was taken captive by Darth Vader aboard the Death Star, presumptively tortured, to some degree by him and yet, never gave up…
Over twenty years ago, I attended the New York Comic Con, at the Jacob Javitts Center. I schlepped 2 short boxes of comics on the train ride from Providence RI. I spent a weekend chasing down the hot artists of the time to sign my books. One thing that was not present was anything Star…
