Review: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI

For the last three decades of my life, Star Wars has been an integral part of who I am.  I remember watching the Original Trilogy on VHS with my father and being in awe of how amazing and fantastical those films were.  They were some of the very movies that made me fall in love with the sci-fi/fantasy genre and film as a whole.  So, of course, when a new film in the franchise hits the big screen, I will absolutely be there to experience it.  I did it with all the prequels, and I’ve done it with all the new films.  Which brings me to the topic at hand -- The Last Jedi.

Movie Review: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Ever since I was a little kid, Star Wars has been a big part of my life.  Some of my best memories are of sitting on the couch with my dad watching the original trilogy, or going to the theater with my dad to see the prequels.  I've spent countless hours reading Star Wars books and comics, playing video games, watching the movies and TV shows, and even playing Star Wars table-top role playing games.  So when I heard that a new film was coming, I instantly told my father, and we made plans to continue our tradition of seeing these films together in the theater.
