REVIEWING THE SAGA
My magnum opus as far as this blog is concerned. An in-depth celebration as to why I love each and every one of these films.
1) This is so wizard!: An utterly unashamed adoration of The Phantom Menace
2) Good Job!: Attack of the Clones is a fan's dream come true.
3) I have waited a long time for this!: With Revenge of the Sith, the prequel trilogy goes out with a bang. A big one.
4) One in a Million!: Why A New Hope is simply child's play.
5) Wars not make one great!: It may be low on action, but that doesn't stop The Empire Strikes Back being one of the greatest movies
ever made.
6) Told you they'd do it!: Return of the Jedi is a fittingly magnificent conclusion to the Star Wars Saga.
EPISODE III
With this blog starting the year the final Episode was released, it was inevitable that a lot of my early entries would turn to that most Dark Sided film.
1) Just another Episode III review: A brutal, shocking and deeply unsettling film - Revenge of the Sith shakes the Star Wars saga to the core.
2) Be mindful of the Moment: Everyone loves Episode III and Star Wars is hip again. Make the most of it while it lasts, my friends....
3) Causing Grievous Bodily Harm: Lucas didn't make the most of the potential in the Obi-Wan vs. Grievous duel. Here's how it
should have gone....
4) The DVD Collection is Now Complete: Episode III. On DVD. In my clammy, little hands and reviewed throughout the day, as I watch it.
5) The DVD Collection is Now Complete (additional comments): My Episode III DVD review on Monday has proved unexpectedly popular, not least because of the easter egg questions! So, let the discussion continue....
6) Oscar, Shmoscar: Episode III gets overlooked at the Oscars. Am I surprised? Am I bothered?
MISCELLANEOUS STAR WARS
Everything else as far as the movies are concerned.
1) Learning to Know the Dark Side: A look into the hearts and minds of the Sith, in an attempt to unravel the Dark Side in us all.
2) The Light Fantastic: When you stop to think about it, Star Wars is pretty darn silly....
3) Not so Special?: Sometimes good, sometimes bad, always controversial - My thoughts on the Special Editions, and whether they should exist at all.
4) The Face of the Old Republic: ...is one Jar Jar Binks.
5) The Jedi With No Name: Know what AT-ATs and Y-wings are? Where you would find Theed or Tipoca City? Who Ki-Adi Mundi and Mon Mothma are? What an Ewok or a Wampa is? Not from watching the movies, you don't.
6) From a Certain Point of View: Lies, half-truths, continuity issues, and the death of Anakin Skywalker.
7) Undelete!: The case for restoring the deleted scenes - Well, some of them anyway!
8) Another Galaxy: Why do people keep insisting on re-writing the prequels?
9) A Blast from the Past: The last great wish of SW fans is fulfilled. Things will never be the same again.
EXPANDED UNIVERSE
"It's just a movie, you know." Oh, no, it isn't....
1) A Loose Canon: ....or, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Continuity and Love the Expanded Universe."
2) Always in Motion....: The Saga is complete. Where now for Star Wars?
3) Revenge of the Brick: That Star Wars LEGO game - Don't you just love it?
NON STAR WARS ENTRIES
Because even when you have SW, other things occasionally demand your attention.
1) Standing firm in the face of disaster: 7th July 2005 - Terrorism has struck close to home, but Britain and the world will not be beaten by the deranged actions of a handful of madmen. We are stronger than that.
2) Public Service Announcement: Something I don't understand about blogs.starwars.com
3) Remembering: Thoughts on Remembrance Sunday
4) RJ's Top Ten Movies of 2005: Shockingly, ROTS
isn't at number 1....
5) That's no moon! Oh wait....: The awesome experience of witnessing a total eclipse of the sun
