Throughout the Saga, we see this theme of Great Disturbances: from Obi-Wan in A New Hope, to Yoda in Revenge of the Sith, and now to Leia, in The Force Awakens. This theme signifies a major event, a major turning point in time for our beloved characters. As heartbreaking as these events can be, they are…
Do you ever feel like your life is spiraling out of control? I know that I have…many times and under different circumstances. As difficult as that can be to go through, it is even more difficult to see a loved one go through this and nothing that you do can help. Sometimes the event/events that…

More specifically, my thoughts have drifted toward the issue of sportsmanship. For me, my love of all things Star Wars takes front and center,…

This is not going to be a blog about the redemption of Darth Vader or Anakin…a subject that I have seen discussed and debated almost ad-nauseum. Rather, this is a blog that is going to touch on a subject about Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side and his Re-Awakening that I have not yet…
I have been working on this post, my first post for The Cantina Cast, for a couple of weeks now. Crazy things in life happen, but now I am off to a new start. My son started school for the first time four weeks ago, and this milestone got me thinking about parallels in the…
