Just so you know, I wrote this post a week ago prior to the announcement of Star Wars: Resistance on Thursday. I’ve decided to keep this post because it just shows how our speculation can be wrong and not get belligerent over it. Am I disappointed that the following theories are wrong? Not at all.Continue reading “Speculation: Filoni’s Finale”

Well I Got That Wrong Didn’t I!
Created by Dave Filoni and set before The Force Awakens, this new series will follow the adventures of Pilot Kazuda Xiono who is recruited by the Resistance and sent on a top secret spy mission. The series will feature new characters and also include fan favourites Poe Dameron, BB-8 and Captain Phasma. The series willContinue reading “Well I Got That Wrong Didn’t I!”
Toy Tuesday: Lego Ski Speeder
Every Tuesday I aim to write about/review a toy in my collection, be it Lego, Funko or a random action figure I will write about it. For the inaugural post, this is the Lego Ski-Speeder from the ‘Defence of Crait’ set released as part of the Winter 2018 wave of Star Wars Lego. “I don’tContinue reading “Toy Tuesday: Lego Ski Speeder”
Review: Star Wars From A Certain Point Of View
I have finally finished this book. It has been tough going. I loved the idea behind the book, retelling A New Hope from the perspectives of background or minor characters. 40 stories for 40 years of Star Wars, another great idea. In execution, not exactly my cup of tea. Overall, the Mos Eisley sequence goesContinue reading “Review: Star Wars From A Certain Point Of View”
Fan Speculation: Fun Fandom or Dangerous Path
I thought that I had better address this before continuing with an idea I’ve had for some upcoming posts. Fan speculation. For years, as we watched the Original Trilogy, be it as far back as 1977 or as recent as 1999 (pre May) all of us Star Wars fans have speculated on what could/would happenContinue reading “Fan Speculation: Fun Fandom or Dangerous Path”
Collecting: Lego and POP! Vinyl
One of the best things about buying a house, for me, was getting myself a little room that I can call ‘my own.’ And for the first year or so I didn’t have much to fill it with. I put up six shelves and filled them with odd bits and pieces. My wife bought meContinue reading “Collecting: Lego and POP! Vinyl”
Musings: The Star Wars Podcasting Community
After The Force Awakens came out I felt the desire to be involved with as much Star Wars conversation as I could, but I didn’t really know anyone with the same passion for it as me. So I turned to the one place I could get as much Star Wars talk as I could manage.Continue reading “Musings: The Star Wars Podcasting Community”
#NotMyLukeSkywalker
Ugh! If I have to read any more posts on Social Media by people who wanted the same old Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi I may have to vomit. I don’t think I saw or heard one complaint about how the characters of Han and Leia had developed from the Original Trilogy toContinue reading “#NotMyLukeSkywalker”
Musings: Canon vs Legends
One of the most frequent and diversifying topics in the Star Wars fandom has been the removal of the EU from the Star Wars Canon and calling it ‘Legends’ whilst restarting the EU with books, comics and games where it’s now all part of the ongoing Star Wars continuity. I understand the vitriol that cameContinue reading “Musings: Canon vs Legends”
God Speed Rebels
In a matter of hours we will be witnessing the end of an era, the end of Star Wars Rebels. Rebels has been a divisive element of the Star Wars Universe in the years since Disney took over, having The Clone Wars be cancelled mid-way through the production of Season 6 and then given what,Continue reading “God Speed Rebels”
