Appreciating the Star Wars prequels
It’s 20 years ago this year that we saw the first of the prequels and as time has gone on I’ve come to appreciate what George Lucas was trying to achieve even the execution wasn’t all to my liking. When I saw them originally I was in University, an original trilogy fan and had high…

Star Wars- Always
Came across this great fan edit video today and it gave me chills. It’s one of the best videos I’ve seen showing all timelines and bringing on a central theme of the force in this case. If I didn’t know it was a fan edit I’d swear it was from Lucasfilm to be shown as…

Which order should I watch Star Wars movies?
I’m planning on some content changes and want to talk more about some of my other passions. A big one is Star Wars, it’s been a constant through my life and I wanted to share my love for the series more. In preparing for this year I wanted to do a rewatch, writing down my…

Could Avengers End Game introduce the Fantastic Four?
With End Game only a couple of months away I’m starting to think more and more about new characters we could see to move the MCU forward for the next 10 years. With the likely loss of Captain America and/or Tony Stark we need new figure heads that can lead the Avengers going forward. I…

Why I cancelled Netflix
It occurred to me whilst watching something on iTunes the other day, why am I not getting the most out of my Netflix subscription? I was paying for the 4K HDR package but I always fall back to the comfort food of watching a favourite film. So the next day I made a concerted effort…

Avengers End Game (TV Spot)
Well we didn’t get a Star Wars Episode 9 trailer last night but we did get a TV Spot for End Game. Wow, it’s easy to forget how close we are to the release (April). This trailer concentrates on our core characters and the general state of the world post the Thanos snap. Cap looks…

Could Apple put your content on it’s video streaming service?
I had a thought last night that I wanted to put down somewhere, thinking aloud so to speak. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I could leave Google and the main sticking point is how I get rid of YouTube. I have a smallish set of creators that I follow and want to see…

Bumblebee movie songs
There’s loads of great 80’s songs in the Bumblebee movie so I made a playlist in Apple Music.

Will Thanos be the villain in Avengers: Endgame?
I love this image of the Thanos armour in the new trailer. As per the comic books he looks to have become a farmer and stopped his desire for power. The comic plays a bit different to the movies where he loses the gauntlet after the snap thanks to his arrogance then retires to a…

Hawkeye becomes Ronin in Avengers: Endgame
This was a cool moment in the new Avengers trailer, Hawkeye appears to have embraced his dark side and become Ronin. I’m assuming that his family were dusted in the snap. In the comic books this happens after Civil War, it’s a samurai term and generally means going at it alone. Looks like he’s after…

How to watch Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures in the UK
Myself and my daughter sat down to watch Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures on YouTube only to be presented with this. I tweeted out to a few of my favourite Star Wars Podcasters and the social media team (thanks to Michelle Buchman) at Star Wars got back to me. Turns out if you’re outside of…

Will Chewie be in the Captain Marvel movie?
(Spoilers for Captain Marvel ahead …) Now I’ve been reading a lot of Captain Marvel, particularly the Kelly Sue Deconnick run I spotted something new on the Captain Marvel poster. If you look in the bottom left you’ll see what looks like the back end of a cat. This appears to be Chewie, her cat…
