Sequel Month - Mini Review: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens




And now we’re doing a sequel to one of my earliest franchise reviews, Star Wars: The Force Awakens


Released at the end of 2015, this movie received great reviews and surpassed expectations, making $2bn at the box office, a tidy profit for Disney’s investment into the film (although with the merchandise they've probably made their money back on buying LucasFilm many times over) however time has divided fans on certain aspects of this movie which I’ll get to. Do these critiques break this movie? Well, here are my thoughts.

4 issue test #6 - Star Wars

It’s a Star Wars comic, how could it not be one of the most popular comics out there? But does that mean it’s any good? Well, let’s see if it passes the 4 issue test.

It’s another Marvel comic so be prepared for extra-expensive issues with bonus unnecessary digital versions. Here’s an idea Marvel: Most people who buy digital versions of comics are those who can’t get to a comic book shop, and might be a little far away to get them on ebay (my no. 1 comic source)

But let’s dive into the story of the comics

Mini-review: Lego Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles

It's Star Wars Month


Whoops, no it isn't, but one last loose end to tie up

We return to Lego star wars one last time, as we look at the Yoda Chronicles, a 5-part mini-series with Yoda as the titular character, with continuity from the Padawan menace considered part of it. For the purposes of this review I will be doing reviews of the first 2-parts, which were featured on a DVD (I got a triple pack including all these Lego Star Wars shorts, if you are to try buying them, I recommend this as it's the best value)

Mini-review/Commentary: Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes out

It’s Star Wars Month!

OK, no it isn't, but due to the rescheduling of Legend of Korra, I still have some loose ends to tie up. So join me is we trail through another Lego star wars short (which someone thought belonged on its own DVD for some reason)

Star Wars Month: TV Retrospective: Star Wars: The Clone Wars


After the similarly titled Star Wars: The Clone Wars film, a TV series of the same name came out. It followed on from the film with the same cast (minus Samuel L Jackson and Christopher Lee) and following on from story-lines planted from the film. Let's dig into Star Wars the Clone Wars and see whether it's any improvement over the movie.
