From Matt Lawson....
And so we reach the final episode of the original six film series. In 1983, The Return of the Jedi tied up the loose ends, and we saw Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker’s character come full circle.
As Emperor Palpatine continues to use Vader as a pawn to entice Luke to the dark...

Matt Lawson's series continues...
The first Star Wars film: A New Hope, released in 1977, did not feature the Imperial March. Far from there being a deeper musical reason, Williams simply hadn’t composed the leitmotif yet, and instead Vader and the Empire was accompanied by a simpler, less...

The final component of the prequel trilogy, Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith (2005), sees Anakin once again having premonitions about death, but this time about his wife Padmé. He continually has visions of her dying in childbirth. During this film, he learns from...

I'm delighted to present this unique and fascinating series of guest posts about the Star Wars film series by musicologist, Matt Lawson.

Sorry I didn't have a movie review Friday. Hubby is on his second fighting round with the nasty cold going around, so we were home locked. Did watch a bunch of episodes of Protect The Boss though. :P It blows my mind that I found a Korean drama on NetFlix. Heh heh.

Getting crafty on some of these! Floaters and dangling pig troopers. :P

I'd heard (and read) a lot of negative reviews about this movie, so I approached it with great trepidation. After all, who wants to pay $11.50 per ticket and sit through an almost-three-hour film if it's terrible?
