The Saga’s Endgame (Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker, 2019)
All things must end they say. It seems like May 4th is the appropriate day for me to put out my review of the final film in the “Skywalker Saga”. While I saw the film twice in theaters, December and January passed before I…

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….
