December 31st, 2018034Wow! Sitting here this evening, looking back over 2018, I can’t help but grin at what a Star Wars studded year this was! It began riding the high of The Last Jedi still in theaters. The wave continued with the May release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. While I was sad to see it come to a close, the last season of Rebels was a fitting end...
December 11th, 2018156Star Wars is a source of many real life lessons like learning to fail, knowing how to keep a balanced life, learning to be selfless, and being loyal. With it being the holiday season I thought it would be a good time to talk about other lessons learned in Star Wars: what to do (and not to do) during the holidays. Many gifts are given and...
December 3rd, 2018456With the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story new characters were introduced to us that will forever be a part of the Star Wars galaxy.

November 22nd, 20182104Attack of the Clones was on TBS the other day. I dutifully and joyfully put it on. This under-appreciated episode of the Saga is much maligned, and I think that is wrong. While viewing this visually stunning masterpiece, I realized that I was reciting all of the lines along with the movie. Like some people sing along to "Bohemian...
November 12th, 2018294To celebrate No Shave November I thought it would be a good time to honor the best beards in Star Wars. Like the Star Wars movies, it is too hard to rank the beards of these characters, so let’s just appreciate them as a group.
George Lucas:
Did George Lucas create the beard? Probably not. Did he perfect it? Absolutely....
November 3rd, 2018046Chewbacca: A two-hundred-year-old Wookiee and copilot of the Millennium Falcon. That’s how he is described inside the Return of the Jedi storybook, and that’s how I grew to know him for most of my childhood. But Chewbacca is so much more.

October 11th, 2018031Fan X 2018 (Salt Lake Comic Convention) was a Star Wars-studded affair with Star Wars actors, panels, and even a Star Wars-themed wedding. This year I was able to meet two of the nicest and most talented actors in Star Wars and I even got to host a panel, making this Fan X one of my favorites.
On the first night of Fan X 2018,...
