Star Trek and Star Wars in Trouble…?
It’s been something of a rough week for my two favorite franchises with “Star” in their title. In last week’s big Star Trek news, the show-runners for Star Trek: Discovery were fired mid-way into production of season two, and replaced by Alex Kurtzman… wh
Josh Reviews Solo!
Solo takes place in the years prior to the original Star Wars, when the galaxy is still under the thumb of the Empire. Young Han and his friend Qi’ra (pronounced like Kira, which makes me think of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) have grown up in the slums of Corellia, scrounging

Josh Reviews Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written and directed by Rian Johnson, is not at all the film that I expected it to be. It is very different from The Force Awakens, but a satisfying continuation of the story that film began. The film is exciting, suspenseful, and emotional. It is funny

Back in 2009, I watched and fell in love with the fan-edit of the original Star Wars created by a Star Wars fan known on-line as Adywan. This fan-made version, called Star Wars: Revisited, blew me away. It is at once a restoration, stripping away some of the dumber changes made by
