Welcome Back, Darth Vader!
I just recently watched “The Siege of Lothal,” the one-hour second-season premiere of Star Wars Rebels. It’s a terrific episode, the best Rebels has done so far. The main reason why it’s so good? The welcome return of Darth Vader. And when I say the ret
Catching Up! Josh Reviews Powers Season One, Star Wars The Clone Wars “Bad Batch”, and Batman vs Robin
On my desk I keep a list of the various movies and TV shows that I’ve watched that I intend to write about here on the site. Lately that list has been growing very long! I have fallen somewhat behind on my blogging. So I’m going to try a new format here and post some
Josh Reviews Star Wars Rebels Season One
The first twelve episodes of the first season of Star Wars Rebels were entertaining, good-not-great pieces of all-ages fun. The thirteenth and final episode of the first season was terrific and really made me sit up and take notice, and I started to get excited for the potential of
Catching Up on My Cartoons: Star Wars Rebels and a Return to The Simpsons
Well, the jury is still out on the over-all success or failure of Disney XD’s new Star Wars animated show, Rebels, but boy, including the droid Captain Rex from Star Tours in the second episode sure makes it hard for me to dislike the show!! More on that in a moment. Star Wars
Attack of the Phantom! Josh has seen a brilliant fan edit of Star Wars: Episode II!
Earlier this year I wrote about The Phantom Edit of Star Wars: Episode I. Michael Nichols was a fan of Star Wars who, like sane people world-wide, was tremendously disappointed with Episode I when it was released in 1999. While the rest of us just whined to our friends, Mr. Nichol
Han Shoots First! Josh is astounded by Adywan’s Fan-Edit of Star Wars: A New Hope!
I have just seen the definitive version of Star Wars. And it wasn’t created by George Lucas or anyone at ILM. It was made by one fan. For years I have been reading about the variety of “fan-edits” of the six Star Wars movies that have been floating around the inter
A Vergence in the Force — The Phantom Edit of Star Wars: Episode I
I have been reading, for years now, about the mysterious Phantom Edit of Star Wars: Episode I. Apparently, some time after Episode I was released, a fan who was as dissatisfied as all the rest of us were decided to take matters into his own hands and re-edit Episode I in an attempt
“I fought with your father in the Clone Wars”
After much debate, I decided to skip the animated Star Wars Clone Wars movie that was released to theaters in late August. It is almost unimaginable to me that I wouldn’t rush out to see a new Star Wars ANYTHING on the big screen. But as I read bad review after bad review, c
Unlearn What You have Learned: Looking back on Star Wars: Episode I
There’s a weird phenomenon that affects me sometimes (and I know I’m not alone in this) where I so fall in love with a story, or a group of characters, that I will watch those characters even in something really really bad. I know Star Trek V is a terrible movie. Terrible. The
Scum & Villainy: Star Wars Episode I
So. Sigh. The Star Wars Prequels. Its interesting to me to look back now, some years distant, on Episodes I-III. For someone like myself who grew up with the Original Trilogy but who has no memory of seeing those films released, it was an incredible thing to be able to experience
