Talkie Tuesday: Obi-Wan Kenobi

"The time of the Jedi is over."

Hello everyone!

How excited are you?

Very?

Beyond imagination???

I hope you are at least! Because the past month and a half has been ALL about Star Wars, baby, and I am SO here for it!

If any of you know me at all, you'll know that I've said before I enjoy the Prequel Trilogy quite a bit, and that's mostly because of two characters, Padmé Amidala ... and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This is helped along immensely by Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman, of course, but in general these are the stories I'm into the most.

So naturally, when Disney+ announced its limited series, I was stoked.

Let's dig those lightsabers out of the sand, everyone, because Obi-Wan Kenobi needs them!

Talkie Tuesday: Star Wars Celebration 2022

 

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ..."

 

Hello there!

 

 

Bet you didn't see this one coming, did you?

In favour of the very simple fact that it was almost literally Star Wars week going from last week to this one, and because I'd basically been streaming the news and keeping tabs on it pretty much all weekend, I decided to skip the traditional movie review.

Instead, I'm going to be chatting (briefly) about what happened over this past weekend, or what we KNOW happened, because there's bound to be stuff in the background that we have no clue about either.

And you know me - I'm a Star Wars fan, have been since the Prequels.

Also, you already know I'm going to say the Prequels are AWESOME. Your argument is invalid to me, because those were the movies I grew up with.

So without further ado, it's time to dig up our lightsabers from wherever we buried them (middle of the desert included), grab our astromech droids and head on out among the stars.

Because the Star Wars Celebration just happened, guys, and it was AMAZING.

 

Synopsis Saturday: The Mandalorian

"This is the Way."

Hello everyone!

Switching it up a little this Saturday, because really, how could I not?

I may be doing this a few upcoming Saturdays as well because there's been some really great things on television that I couldn't fit into my Talkie Tuesdays, but I just might be able to find them a place on Saturdays!

I am, of course, talking (among other things) about His Dark Materials, the first season of which concluded just before Christmas.

I'm undecided if I should do an episode by episode recap of those, or just a general Saturday one, so I'll figure it out eventually.

First, however, it's time to travel to a galaxy far, far away.

The Mandalorian raced out the gate as strong as it could possibly be, gained momentum around all the tight corners, and finished off with an explosive bang.

Talkie Tuesday: Rogue One

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ..."

Hello everyone!

It's time for another movie review, and I was actually reminded of this one yesterday while shopping with my mother for our bi-monthly groceries run. 

I know, right? Talk about a place where you think about movies!

But in the store, I ran into the DVD shelves they have (not numerous, as a rule, but occasionally you'll find movies there that come at a slightly cheaper price than in some specialised shops) and lo and behold, what DVD would my mother pick up but Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?

Then it was my turn to go 'Oh, snap!' about the fact that I'd actually already seen it - but never sat down to write a proper blog about it. 

I should be ashamed of myself. I know this.

Anyway, seeing the DVD last night reminded me that I have the summary in my faithful sheep notebook, ergo, without further ado, let's head into the review!
