The 12 Days of Star Wars: Day Eleven
I woke up this morning and drank my coffee out of my Star Wars cup. I showered and got dressed in my Millenium Falcom t-shirt. I put on my Empire Strikes Back vans and now I’m waiting for my brother-in-law to pick me up and take us to San Francisco to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We will be in line around 4 hours early, my and my fellow nerds. I am in full movie geek mode and couldn’t be more stoked. But this week has been...
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS (Japanese Trailer)

Abrams and Rian Johnson, Colin Trevorrow (he of Jurassic World financial success and sloppy movie fame) will be taking on Star Wars Episode 9 as director. Is it true? Time will tell. It is Comic-Con time though and if news is going to be...
Here Comes solo Han Solo
Things are about to get zany in the world of the Star Wars franchise and frankly, I’m not sure how I feel about it. Today on StarWars.Com news broke that filmmaking duo Christopher Miller and Phil Lord, two of the hottest directors (one of the hottest directors? Do the two equal one? I’m confused.) have been hired on to direct the Han Solo standalone feature. Hmmm. While undoubtedly it’s silly of me to question: A) The Star Wars...
