I’ve agreed with a lot of the shade thrown at the show. After all, no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans – amirite? But today I think I finally was able to put my finger on what unites all of us: the flashback scenes have been better than the “present day” story. Fans seem to agree that the Tusken Raider backstory has been excellent. It has added depth to both Boba Fett and the sand people, and we’ve gotten some really great scenes like escaping the sarlaac pit, the train heist, getting back Slave I, and others. The present day crime lord story seems to have fared less favorably. We got a weird slo-mo chase scene with Power Rangers, an odd fight sequence with Black Krrsantan, and overall a Boba Fett that is a lot more passive than what many fans want to see. With the droid’s…

Book of Boba Fett: Thoughts on the negativity toward Episode 3.
This episode has caused quite a stir in the fanbase. Ultimately I get why people are upset. Whilst you should never have to perform mental gymnastics to make sense of something. I do think that there are ways of making these things understandable with just a little thought. Work: They just joined Boba in an instant without thought: The thing is though desperate people will do anything if it means work. Besides they’re no doubt gonna cause trouble if you don’t control them. Why risk being enemies when you can turn them into an asset by hiring them? Punk kids with scooters: Often called 1970’s Vespas as I’ve seen people call them. Comments have been made they would fit more on Coruscant. Well these street kids could very well be from Coruscant or somewhere similar where they’re speeder and dress sense fit in or perhaps at least bear resemblance to…

The Beginner’s Guide to Esports and Gaming: Starcraft & Starwars
StarCraft is a defining point in electronic sports, better known as esports. Together with the game’s expansion, StarCraft Brood War, StarCraft has formed esports as we know them today.

Remembering Old Star Wars Games
If ever there were a movie franchise to get the video game treatment, it was Star Wars. The first film in the saga revolutionised the sci-fi genre when it came out and also defied audiences’ expectations in the process. It was fitting that video games would eventually be released that gave players control of some of these beloved characters they had seen on the screen for so many years and allowed players to experiment with some of their powers. To kids growing up at the time, this was one of the coolest things ever as they could essentially be a Jedi or a Sith, depending on what games were played. While Star Wars games used to be massive in the 2000s, they have recently seen a resurgence in the last decade, most likely due to the ‘rebirth’ the universe is experiencing right now. Those who are fans of the franchise…
