Colour me animated I’ve seen it twice now and I’m going to be honest – I really want to watch it again before writing this. I mean, I could, but it wouldn’t exactly be a first reaction style piece then would it. And at the end of the day, I’d be willing to bet a…

Rey, Kylo and Sequel Trilogy Cohesion
The dyad at the centre of a fundamentally cohesive story *TROS spoilers ahead* Social media’s been an interesting place since The Rise of Skywalker hit cinema screens around the world, and considering the polarising effect of The Last Jedi, avoiding a degree of discourse was always an impossibility. It seems to me, a fan of…
First Impressions of The Rise of Skywalker
Non-Spoiler Thoughts Maybe it was spending nine hours in the cinema for the sequel trilogy triple bill, or the fact that it was 3am. Regardless, when the credits rolled after the midnight screening of The Rise of Skywalker, I knew I liked it but the question was to what extent. After all, this was a…
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…

That has been the question triggering consternation among the Star Wars fanbase over the past two days, as rumours swell regarding which Monday Night Football match broadcast will feature the premiere of the final trailer for December’s The Rise of Skywalker. Based…
The Rise of Skywalker sizzle reel breakdown
Six of the most beautiful (and thought provoking) shots from The Rise of Skywalker sizzle reel I arrived home from work on Monday afternoon to find that Dark Rey, C-3PO, Palpatine and Kylo were all trending on Twitter. Turns out that D23’s The Rise of Skywalker sizzle reel had sent social media into a frenzy…

No one’s ever really gone Disney’s D23 expo continues to deliver for Star Wars fans, as the convention has proceeded to steal internet headlines for the second day in a row, (and this one is a biggie), with the unveiling of the first poster for December’s The Rise of Skywalker. We knew from April’s teaser…
