Andor Season 2 Review (non-Spoiler)
TLDR: Rushed, but still good. I quite enjoyed Andor season 1, in part because we didn’t have the caricatures and cardboard cutouts of characters. There were complicated figures and, frankly, some of those side characters stole the show. Season 2 comes in under a looming threat, and here I’m not talking about the Empire. I’m…

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker Movie Review
If you’ve already made up your mind about Star Wars, this review isn’t for you. Go ahead and move along, because if you’ve decided to love/hate it because of politics/gender/(insert stupid thing to care about with space wizards) then go elsewhere. I did my very best to leave all my preconceptions of Star Wars, other…

Solo Movie Review
As the year has been pretty busy, I didn’t get to see Solo while it was still in theaters. To be clear, I didn’t approach this movie expecting it to be the best Star Wars movie ever. I wanted something fun and light-hearted, something to distract and entertain. And coming away from it, that’s what…

I am one with the Force- Star Wars: Rogue One Review (No Spoilers)
Star Wars is at this point a factor of culture and a defining element of fandom within those who identify as geeks and nerds. The story, of hope, of good versus evil is something that almost everyone can identify with. Star Wars: Rogue One (Or is it Rogue One: Star Wars?) is very much a…

Review: Star Wars The Force Awakens (Spoiler Free)
After seeing that Star Wars: The Force Awakens was coming out the same weekend as not only my anniversary but also my move, I was pretty certain I wouldn’t get to see it until the following week. Fortunately for my sanity, my wife is also a fan and we managed to fit it into our…

Computer Games: Retro Mode: X Wing, Tie Fighter, and X Wing Alliance
I still remember the first time I bought X wing. I was in high school at the time. I spent $40 at the time, was so excited by the idea, couldn’t wait to get it home and hop in the cockpit of my very own spaceship. Of course, I didn’t know much about computers and…

Starfest Denver 2014
I had the opportunity to attend Starfest last weekend as an author and participant. It was a great time, all in all, with the highlight being the Combat in Science Fiction and Fantasy Panel. We had a great turnout for that panel (almost standing room only) and excellent audience participation. Sunday was May…
