“You’re no Vader” The Last Jedi It’s a credit to Rian Johnson as a filmaker that in a movie with so much action, some of the best moments in The Last Jedi come in the form of dialogue heavy scenes. It’s also a credit, in this case, to actors Adam Driver and Andy Serkis who…

#42 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Sarlacc Tussle Return of the Jedi A plan is about to come to fruition – or perhaps, just the backup plan. Whatever Luke Skywalker’s strategy was to free his friend Han Solo from Jabba The Hutt’s clutches, the course of events had ultimately led to a final battle over The Great Pit of Carkoon –…

Petranaki Arena Attack of the Clones Every Star Wars fan has at some point been asked to rank the movies. It’s all part of the fandom gig and I always love to answer the question, even though, just like the force, the answer is always in motion. I’ll give you a different order every week….

Rey’s Vision The Force Awakens JJ Abrams loves a mystery box. His trailers rarely give the game away – just take a look at the veiled plot in the final The Rise of Skywalker trailer for proof – and with The Force Awakens mysteries only thickened as we dived deeper. When a curious Rey takes…

Just as hope fades, John Williams’ score begins to stir once again. Looking to the horizon, Han Solo spots what we all hoped to…

It’s often suggested that without Williams’ music, Star Wars would not have risen to being the cultural phenomenon that it is….

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…
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…
