star wars challenge

Oh, boy. I am about to ruffle some feathers. There are a lot of things that annoy me about the prequels, but one of my biggest issues with them is the shoe-horning of popular characters from the original series. Don’t get me wrong; using recognizable fan-favorites is a great promotional tool, and when it’s done

Good gravy, I just need to finish this challenge. Every time I pop on here to check on things or to update stuff, I’m reminded of how this is just hanging out, waiting for me to complete it. So be prepared to see a lot of this challenge over the next several days. Plus, I’m

Alrighty, this will be the last post for today because am tired. The plan is to work on at least two posts tomorrow, as well, but who knows with all the papers and projects and shit I have due in the next seven days. Sigh. Anyway, I was going to do fan art for this

Yep, I both underestimated how busy I would be with nursing school and overestimated how much effort I’d be able to put into this challenge, so! I’ll be working on this as I go, with a couple of adjustments. Today is obviously not what was originally on my calendar, but oh, well. I’ll be updating

Recently on Twitter, a friend of mine and I got into a brief discussion on The Rise of Skywalker, and both of us came to the same conclusion: we were apathetic to the movie, despite that fact we spent the majority of the film being alternatively angry at decisions made and confused as to what

As a writer, the second act is always the most interesting to me: this is the meat of the overarching story, expanding on the themes usually briefly touched in the first act but not resolving them in a manner that the final act does. The viewer kind of expects things to be open-ended, eventually leading

Alrighty, onto something I didn’t do the last time I did this challenge because the sequel trilogy I think had just started maybe? You’ll have to forgive me; the last decade has kind of melded together in my brain as just one bad period of time, so pinpointing things is not my strong suit. Now,

This set of soundtracks are such a huge part of my life and will continue to be probably until I die. I’m really hoping not to hear anything negative about John Williams – I’m speaking more in terms of like he’s a sexual predator or puppy killer – because if I can’t morally listen to

While Return of the Jedi might not have the character development of The Empire Strikes Back or the innovation that drove the success of A New Hope, it finished out the trilogy in an incredibly satisfying way, ending the Darth Vader redemption arc that we didn’t know was happening at the time. And it probably
