-
As with ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’and ‘Star Wars: Rebels‘ I can’t claim to have seen every episode of this animated show. At the time…

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I have been somewhat unsuccessful in my attempts to watch every episode of every show in the Star Wars…

Day 23 of me writing exclusively about Star Wars, purely on the basis that it’s currently May and I can entitle each post ‘May the…
-
I’m not sure too many Star Wars movies would pass the Bechdel test, but there’s no denying that there have been some great female characters…

There are still quite a few days left of May. Which is surprising because it feels like I’ve been writing about Star Wars forever. Although…
-
So, what’s the worst Star Wars movie in existence? Many people will have their views. A lot will tell you it’s ‘The Phantom Menace‘ and…
-
Not to be confused (but very easily confused) with ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’, which is a different cartoon (and movie), this series of animated…
-
Eighteen days into my month-long homage to Star Wars and I appear to have lost all reason. Not that I had much of that at…

Today is not Star Wars Day. That was yesterday. But I’m still writing about Star Wars. Because I’m doing that all month. Or for as…
