Upcoming Review Series: Star Wars

For all two of the people who bother to read this blog- my apologies for the long absence. I've had a very busy life. But now I'm back, as you see.

In light of the recent release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, about which I have some...strong feelings, shall we say, I've decided to do a review series of each and every one of the Star Wars films, in order of release. For this series, I will be focusing exclusively on the theatrically released installments. This means that I will not be addressing the infamous Holiday Special or either of the Made for TV Ewok films. Nor will I be discussing any of the various animated series, for the blatantly obvious reasons that they are TV series, not films. I will be reviewing the 2008 pilot film for the CGI series The Clone Wars, however, because it was released in theaters.

 Star Wars fans are an opinionated bunch, and I'm no exception. However, I do pride myself on my opinions being my fully own, irrespective of whether they line up with the majority. Some of my views may be what you'd expect, but others may not be. If I wind up slaughtering any of your sacred cows in the process, I make no apologies for doing so. I've had more repeat viewings of these films than is probably healthy to hone my opinions, and to counter the inevitable counterarguments. Obviously, you're free to disagree with me to your heart's content. All I ask is that you hear me out and try to understand where I'm coming from before you condemn anything I have to say.

With that being said, please enjoy the reviews as they come.
