“Fly Casual” Return of the Jedi For all of the swashbuckling, edge of your seat action, some of my favourite Star Wars moments are smaller details. Innocuous lines of dialogue and witty quips can sometimes be just as memorable, quotable and memeable as the big set pieces. And my 45th favourite moment of the Skywalker…

#46 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
March of the Resistance The Force Awakens Our heroes have been disarmed. Maz Kanata’s castle is in ruins. The First Order has descended upon Takodana and cast a wave of destruction. Just as hope fades, John Williams’ score begins to stir once again. Looking to the horizon, Han Solo spots what we all hoped to…
#47 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Meeting Rey The Force Awakens Movie soundtracks are my jam. The majority of the albums that populate my Spotify feed are film scores and John Williams brilliance is never far from my recently played. It’s often suggested that without Williams’ music, Star Wars would not have risen to being the cultural phenomenon that it is….
#48 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Yoda Returns The Last Jedi We’ve got 48 days to go before The Rise of Skywalker – including this one, 48 more entries on this list. Today is the first of many scenes from my favourite Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi. For me, it’s a Star Wars flick that feels deeply embedded in a…
#49 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Padme’s Ruminations Revenge of the Sith Genie pops out of a bottle and grants me three wishes. One of them is for me to be as witty as the dude who does the Screen Junkies Honest Trailers voiceover – or at least, the team of writers that pitch that comedy gold. As much as I…
#50 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Assembling Vader Revenge of the Sith I was a youngling when I first watched Revenge of the Sith. Back from a long awaited shopping trip, my parents walked through the door with a DVD I’d been desperate to watch. The next day we gathered round the TV, popped the disk into the tray – yep…
My Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
The Rise of Skywalker approaches. Just as Rey and Kylo’s journey nears its end – at least according to our favourite croaky old fossil Papa Palpatine – our journey through the Skywalker saga is also reaching its end. This silly story about space wizards, weird aliens and a moisture farmer desperate for a life of…
The Mandalorian second trailer reaction
So beautiful it hurts…. The Mandalorian promises to be ground-breaking Star Wars content. The first live action TV show set in a galaxy far, far away and on a box-fresh streaming platform in Disney Plus. Star Wars in a decidedly 2019 flavour. The second trailer for the series dropped overnight and it had all of…
Kylo Ren comic to cover the real downfall of Luke’s temple?
The truth is out there… One of my favourite elements of The Last Jedi was the unreliable narration provided by Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren as they recounted the events of the evening in which Luke’s Jedi training temple was burnt to the ground. We’ve been presented with three versions of the story. One in…
The Rise of Skywalker final trailer reaction
“Taking one last look, sir, at my friends” I have a love/hate relationship with trailers. There is nothing quite like going into a movie on opening night with the lid firmly on the mystery box. Since the Sequel Trilogy began, and the plot thick Revenge of the Sith trailer all but a distant memory, Lucasfilm…
