Review: Star Wars Legacy Volume One: Broken

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

Luke Skywalker; last of the Jedi.  Destined to return balance to the Force.  That’s a difficult legacy to be a part of.

Son of Anakin Skywalker and twin brother to Leia Skywalker, raised as an Organa, a lot was expected from Luke.  You see, the Empire had [...]

Review: Knights of the Old Republic Vol 1-Commencement

3,964 years before the Battle of Yavin, the Old Republic was embroiled in a galactic war.

It is a time of upheaval for the galaxy.  The Mandalorian Wars have strained the Old Republic’s resources to the breaking point.

With so many forces at the front, systems in the outer rim teeter on the edge of lawlessness – [...]

If it’s not canon, you can ignore it, right? (Star Wars)

Well.

It’s all over the net (io9, TVSquad, IGN) that Lucasfilm Director of Fan Relations Steve Sansweet suggested that a new animated series would continue the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa.

How, isn’t quite clear yet.

People are kinda confused, to tell you the truth.  Including me – which is why I’m posting [...]

Excerpt Day 2: Fan Fiction-Star Wars

I think we all enjoy writing a little fan fiction.  For me, there was a lot of different, well known universes that I played in as I was learning to write.  Sometimes, it’s easier to write in well established worlds because you know them so well.  Hopefully, you do them justice.

In the 90′s, a comic [...]

Influences Part 3

Star Trek: The Original Series.

Probably one of the strongest influences on my life from a very young age was the original Star Trek.

Rerun in syndication almost endlessly, the original Star Trek was huge in my life growing up.  I knew the characters so well you’d think they were family.  I could quote episodes like the [...]

As I mentioned before, I’ve decided to start going through my comic book collection one box at a time and see what I find, then talk about it here.  I invite you to tag along with me cuz I hope it’ll be fun – I’ll even tag pictures with my iPhone and share em.  And [...]

Trolling my comic book collection-Box 1

So.  What with all the SDCC talk of late, I’ve been feeling more and more nostalgic for comic books then ever before.

Short story – true story.  I don’t buy comic books anymore because I had a problem.  I spent waaaay too much money on comics.  I mean, we are talking serious money here.  I joke [...]

10 Things Hollywood Should Not Reboot

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then surely Hollywood duplication, rehashing, rebooting and out right copying must be the key to big box office bank, right?

With the ‘reboot’ (I am really coming to hate that word now) of the ‘Star Trek’ franchise and the elimination to all references Roddenberry, Holywood has a new [...]

The Clone Wars

So, I’m confused by Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  Both the movie and the new Cartoon Network TV show.

Okay – Episodes 1 – 3 were about making George Lucas tons more money.  As a side note, they were also intended to show us the descent of Anakin Skywalker from annoying little child savant to evil [...]

The Best Space Battles Part 4

Star Wars: Episode IV

This was it – the battle to end all battles.  The Rebel Alliance sending snub fighters against the Empire’s most powerful weapon ever: The Death Star!

What?  You telling me you couldn’t bullseye something the size of a wamprat with your T16?

This battle set a tone for every space battle that [...]
