June 11th, 2018146I have liked Chewbacca since I first saw him speaking with Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Mos Eisley cantina in A New Hope. I liked how big yet gentle he seemed to be, how he stood out in a cantina full of amazing looking aliens, and how he seemed to have a quiet confidence.

I’ve got a really good feeling about this, and we haven’t got time for anything else...
May 8th, 2018039Well, things are definitely getting interesting when it comes to Star Wars literature! I have had the privilege of reading/listening to written by Daniel Jose Older. These new books are getting more similar to the old Legends style of writing. I felt myself lost in the story and emotionally connected like the days of old. The voice of...
May 8th, 2018093And how did you celebrate your Star Wars Day? Me? As soon as I woke from a not-very-good-night’s sleep, I turned on my computer, launched my Internet browser, and learned that tickets to Han Solo: A Star Wars Story were indeed on sale. My suspicion was correct. Tickets for the upcoming cinematic offering that centers on that much...
