Nothing But Star Wars Episode Eight (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, 2017)
I will be be honest. Walking out of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I had no idea just how controversial this film would be. I wrote my first review and then rewrote it due to a spoiler claim. I watched as the film seemed…
Nothing But Star Wars Episode Three and a Quarter (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, 2016)
The Force Awakens, in spite of conflicting reviews had made Disney enough money to feel confident in going forward with their game plan. Disney had set a goal of a Star Wars movie every Christmas. Since films of the blockbuster nature often can take…
Nothing But Star Wars Episode Seven (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 2015)
After the prequels, Star Wars appeared to be…well, complete. Lucas was no longer talking about a third trilogy. All had gone quiet on that front. Instead, Star Wars thrived in animated fare like the Cone Wars cartoon and in comic books through Dark Horse….

Nothing But Star Wars Episode Six (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, 1983)
It took three agonizing years for the audience to get the answers to our questions. Excitement built with the initial announcement of Revenge of the Jedi. A bold and powerful title, it had fans eager. Before long, the title shifted to Return of the…
Nothing But Star Wars Episode Five (Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980)
Star Wars became a world wide phenomenon. This meant that Lucas would get to build on his adventure. Already there were comics from Marvel, novels inspired by the first film and toys galore. How could they deny giving the audience more?! And so, Lucas…
Nothing But Star Wars: Episode Four (Star Wars: A New Hope, 1977)
