Who is really winning the streaming wars and is Obi-Wan Kenobi a cultural phenomenon like two other media entries this summer? If you've been visiting That Park Place very much, you know that there is a bit of controversy surrounding Stranger Things and Obi-Wan...
Sympathy for the Disney Devil Recently, reviewing Obi-Wan Kenobi has put me in a bit of an awkward position - not only with the fan community in general, but myself. My review of the third episode put me on the opposite side of most fans who lost interest in Star Wars...
Every single thing points to Disney's decade-long project with Star Wars being dead. It has utterly failed. Follow along as we detail just how spectacularly it died this week. It would be hard to have missed all the developments surrounding Lucasfilm, Star Wars...
Aside from being a fan of Star Wars (and lots of other series), I have a particular soft spot for westerns. Westerns have been made since Hollywood first started churning out movies, and there's a healthy dose of western DNA in Lucas' movies, particularly the movies...
