After a bit of a break, I’m back with another Star Wars book review. Well sort of… Dooku: Jedi Lost isn’t actually a book, per se. Yes, you can purchase it in paperback form. But what you’d be buying isn’t actually a novel. Instead, it would be a transcript of an audio drama. (Which is the proper form of this...
Several months ago I made a post where I discussed Star Wars: A New Hope. I talked about my personal history with the film and how much it influenced me growing up. All of the things I mentioned in that post were true. But I’d be amiss if I were to claim that A New Hope was the only film...

Ever since I was a child, Star Wars fans have wanted to know more about the elusive character of Boba Fett. For nearly two decades, the only official glimpse we had of the character came from brief scenes in two of the original three movies. Other than that, fans had to rely on semi-official novels to fill in the gaps....
The last time I reviewed a Star Wars novel it didn’t go very well. The book in question was A Crash of Fate. This was a novel created for the sole purpose of drumming up hype for Disney’s new Galaxy’s Edge theme park. The story itself wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly good either. In the end, the book appeared...

I’ve been hinting at discussing some of my favorite films on this site for quite some time. Well, the day has finally arrived! This post is going to the be the first of many where I share my thoughts on the movies that opened my eyes to things like science fiction, fantasy, and just badassery in general. The first film...
When Disney originally announced the reboot of the Star Wars Expanded Universe project, fans were excited. The promise we heard was that all future Star Wars novels would be vetted for quality and every release would be canonical. This was good news because as any old school Star Wars fan will tell you, there was more than a few stinkers...

It look a little longer than I wanted for me to get this post out. But as they say, better late than never! It’s been over a year since I shared my thoughts on Star Wars: Resistance. Resistance was a show that didn’t really tickle my fancy. Maybe it’s because it was aimed at younger viewers, I don’t know. But...
Love him or hate him, it cannot be argued that Grand Admiral Thrawn has proven to be an extremely popular character in the Star Wars universe. And since his reintroduction to the new canon, his popularity has only increased. Today I’ll be taking a look at the third book in Timothy Zahn’s new Thrawn series, Thrawn: Treason. Before I get started,...
Since the formation of the new canon, Lucasfilm has kept a pretty tight lid on the events that take place between the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy era. I’ve been reading/reviewing the new novels by publication date, and so far only the Aftermath trilogy and Bloodlines have taken place during this period. Since there’s a thirty-year gap between these...
While I can certainly appreciate Star Wars novels that focus on some of the more mundane characters and locations in the galaxy, my favorite books always tend to be about the people and places made popular by the films. Especially when the book provides a lot of backstory. For this reason, I was very excited to finally get a chance...
