I think I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating: I love the music challenge posts because 1) there’s not as much writing to do, and 2) I get to relisten to tracks that I adore. Not that I don’t have the soundtracks to the Star Wars universe playing at least once a week anyway,…

I saw Revenge of the Sith in the theater three times, two of which were by myself. The first two times were for a journalism class, the second of which a friend tagged along because he wanted to see the movie but was embarrassed and needed an excuse (“she didn’t want to go alone” was…

Damn, this one is actually hard. Attack of the Clones is my absolute least favorite movie, as you well know, so picking a scene that isn’t completely full of suck is the opposite of Sophie’s Choice: which one isn’t the worst? One of the major problem with AotC – and the entire prequel trilogy, for…

The night I walked into the theater with my family to see The Phantom Menace, I had a huge, excited smile on my face, fully prepared to be wowed by the mind of one of my major creative influences. Instead, I was jealous of my mother, who’d somehow fallen asleep near the beginning of the…

Sigh, I wanted to love Padme Amidala. I mean, come on, she’s the democratically-elected queen (I don’t think “queen” means the same thing in my head as it does in George Lucas’, but whatever, moot point) of a gorgeous garden planet that ends an invasion of her home and then becomes a senator in the…

Obligatory May the Fourth Be With You! And yes, that statement is exactly why I am doing this challenge this month. Anyway, for anyone who knows me, my answer to today’s challenge is not going to be any sort of surprise. It’s the character with whom I identified starting as a kid and especially now,…

Oh, yay, another easy day for me! Without a doubt, Attack of the Clones is the one Star Wars movie that I usually just kind of keep in the background when I’m doing a series marathon. I’ll probably start cleaning – including vacuuming – or doing something random, like organizing my makeup or skincare collection,…

I don’t think it will be a surprise that The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the entire series of movies because I’m not the only one who holds that opinion. It’s the best-directed (may your memory be a blessing, Irvin Kershner), has some of the best performances from the entire cast, has a…

I don’t ever remember Star Wars not being a part of my life. From as early as I can remember, my dad and I would curl up on the couch to watch the original trilogy when it came on TV – well before VHS tapes and DVDs were a thing – and I was transfixed…

For reasons? Honestly, I almost forgot I was doing a challenge until today because I got a reminder alert from my Google calendar and was like, “Oh. Whoops.” I guess that’s how my life is going to be for the next 16 months? Anyway, I’m doing a Star Wars challenge, starting May 1, and it’ll…
