I’m feeling pretty shitty about being a Star Wars fan right now, in light of the horseshit that Kelly Marie Tran has had to endure by anonymous fuckwits that think it’s totally cool to harass a young woman because she’s … Continue reading The Toybox: Open Action Figure Collecting Discussion
Feel free to discuss anything in the comments below related to your dollies. Me? I came to realize that the best realization of the toyetic potential of Star Wars may have been the Clone Wars series, and its supporting toy … Continue reading The Toybox: Open Action Figure and Toy Discussion
Okay, so Solo is coming out this weekend, and the predictions are that i’ll well, but not STAR WARS well. There’s a lot of competition for Nerd Dollars, and The Last Jedi was less than six months ago, so maybe … Continue reading Finding New Paths in the Star Wars Universe

I was and am a big fan of Prometheus. I saw it on blu ray, months after the rancor of the Internet response had become calcified. My expectations were low, figuring it was another middling but proficient late period Ridley … Continue reading Old Dressings, Big Ideas: Prometheus and Alien: Covenant
Star Wars. Without a doubt, the most ubiquitous pop culture juggernaut of the past four decades, Star Wars has given the public endless material to chew on and spit out. For years, there was the original three films, a few … Continue reading May the Fourth Be With You
