Here we are, at the end of the Skywalker Saga, almost ready for Episode 9. It’s been a long process with good movies, bad movies, and some that floundered in between. Today, I’m taking another look at Episode 8 – The Last Jedi, arguably the most controversial film in the Star Wars series. Critics lavished … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Episode 8
Ten years passed between the release of Revenge of the Sith and The Force Awakens. Walking into the theater, the anticipation for the film was palpable, and I don’t think I’ve ever been in a more nervous/excited crowd for a film. Where the prequels stumbled and blundered their way through a wonderful universe, Force Awakens … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – The Force Awakens
Finally, after making my way through the ‘extended flashback’ that was the prequels, it’s back to the mainline trilogy. As a quick check-in, that means I have three films left to review in the fourteen days until Episode 9 releases. I’ll do my best to get a review for Episode 7 soon and Solo/8 following … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Return of the Jedi
The light at the end of the tunnel is near as I have reached the end of the much-maligned prequel trilogy. Coming hot off the heels of Attack of the Clones which was a wholly painful experience, Revenge of the Sith felt like a breath of fresh air. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t touch … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Revenge of the Sith

As a huge fan of Stephen King, I can say this is one of his best. IT stands as a unique … Continue reading Book Review in Brief – IT – Stephen King
Hello and welcome back to my re-review series for the wonderful Star Wars Skywalker Saga, and a few spin-off movies along the way. So far, I’ve reviewed Rogue One (3.5/5), A New Hope (4.5/5) , The Empire Strikes Back(5/5) and The Phantom Menace(2/5) which unfortunately means it’s time for… Attack of the God Damned Clones. I’ll be … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – Attack of the Clones
Well, with The Mandalorian coming out tomorrow, it's time I get back to my reviews, and here we are, the prequel trilogy. You will never find a more wretched hive of bad dialogue and poor plot decisions… Or at least that’s what some people say. The prequel trilogy has provided the internet with fantastic meme … Continue reading Star Wars – The Re-Review – The Phantom menace
For being the movie that most hail as the best in the series, I think Empire might be the one I’ve watched the least from the original trilogy.
This is a movie I’ve seen easily twenty times, if not more, throughout my life, and that makes it difficult to look at it through an objective lens.
That's right, I'm reviewing all the Star Wars films leading up to IX. Buckle up, stay on target, and fly casual, because I've got some opinions.
