This week’s episode sees the first appearance of the not-so-quick-draw Greedo as he’s hired by Nute Gunray and Count Dooku to kidnap the daughters of the new Chairman of Pantora, Papanoida. Read More

Watching this film reminded me of the famous passage from the Gospel According to Mark that asks, "What good is it for a man to gain the world and lose his own soul?" Believe me, the irony isn't lost on me that such a passage would be attributed to a Read More

For this week’s episode, we travel back to Ryloth, which is once again under siege from the Separatists. With a blockade in place and the Republic fleet destroyed, General Ima-Gun Di and Cham Syndulla (from Season 1’s “Ryloth” trilogy) are fighting a Read More

All in all, this episode somewhat redeems "Clone Cadets," which was a necessary lead-in given the involvement of characters like Ninety-Nine, Fives, and Echo. It had more than enough combat to make up for the previous story too. This was a great way to Read More

This week's premiere gives us more perspective on the lives the clone troopers as the show takes us through the clone army's basic training. More specifically, the episode follows the actions of "Domino" Squad, and from their first scene, we learn that Read More

This was another set for which I had been waiting a long time, in part because it was a new version of Boba Fett’s ship, but also for the unique, new minifigures. If you don’t buy many other sets, but do like the spaceship, this is absolutely one to add Read More

This was a cool set to build for multiple reasons. I admit, the main thing I wanted was the snowspeeder, but this also had a Hoth Luke minifigure and A WAMPA!!! Seriously, a Wampa! Endless hours of fun with this set. Read More

For months I stared it in the shop. Every time I walked into the LEGO Store in the mall, the Death Star set was perched on the shelf, a $400 plastic behemoth just out of reach. Every time I looked at it, I could hear the voice of Wayne Campbell saying, Read More

I saw Despicable Me with a date and several friends from school, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the film despite being in our mid-to-late-20s. It's great today to see a children's animated film that leaves enough humor to appeal to parents and the "big Read More

Just like the main characters in this film, Predators drops the audience right into the story. It was suspenseful, action-packed, and everything I could have wanted in a Predator film. Read More

I have a look at the first issue of David Petersen's Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard, a bookend mini-series with contributing stories in the Mouse Guard universe by Jeremy Bastian, Ted Naifeh, and Alex Sheiman. Read More
