Star Wars: Rogue One Trailer Delivers Both Stars and Wars
It’s a real shame that ‘Star’ and ‘War’ don’t rhyme. But rather than dwell on the unfairness of life, let’s enjoy a new trailer for Rogue One!
Looks pretty snazzy! Characters are coming together, the jokes are landing. Here’s hoping this mission gets pulled off without a hitch! If we’re gonna get more of these films until the heat death of the universe, I’d like to know that the’re gonna be good.

Here’s Some Star Wars Stuff to Enjoy
Did you hear they’re making another Star Wars?
So the big Star Wars Celebration event went down in England over the weekend, with all manner of cool news from the new season of Rebels and the upcoming film, Rogue One. Obviously, I didn’t attend, but the Internet is always on the up and up about this sort of thing. We can enjoy the fruits of Celebration without having to actually go!
For example, here’s the new trailer for Star Wars: Rebels season 3! It’s a fine show. Nothing spectacular. Though I did enjoy the season 2 finale.
And while they haven’t released the new trailer for Rogue One just yet, here’s a nifty behind the scenes semi-trailer they put out.
Looks like a quality adventure! Here’s hoping Star Wars continues to be awesome and enjoyable in the years ahead.

6 Pop Culture Characters I Love For No Particular Reason
I think this blog is testament to the fact that I am a pop culture aficionado. I love movies, TV shows, books, comics, video games and all manner of storytelling and fiction. I hope to be a fiction writer myself some day, and am even working on my own comic book. And like all good people of this Earth, I have my favorite characters in my favorite media.
But sometimes, those favorites don’t make much sense.
Go, Green Ranger, go go!
Leonardo is my favorite Ninja Turtle because of his noble spirit and badass katana blades. The Green Ranger is my favorite Power Ranger because he was this cool, rebellious sixth Ranger. Multiple Man is my favorite superhero because I like his sense of humor, and because he was one of the characters who helped usher young Sean into a better understanding of superhero comics. I love Robin the Boy Wonder because I’ve always considered myself more of a sidekick than a leader, especially when compared to some of my more alpha male friends back in my youth.
But there are some characters out there whom I love passionately, but have no legitimate reason why. Join me after the jump to find out who!
Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has Sins, Too
Despite Cinema Sins getting knocked down a few notches a few weeks ago, they still have a good time with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You just gotta take everything they say with a grain of salt.
They’re definitely right about that ending, though…

Today We Enter An Age Unlike Any in Our History, One With Awesome Star Wars Spin-Off Movies
The first trailer for Rogue One hit the Internet today, and it’s a transformative experience. Up until today, the only real Star Wars movies were about the main Saga and the familiar characters. They’ve been big, blockbuster events, enjoyed by many. There have been tons of supplemental materials, like comics and cartoons, but the movies were special events.
Now, with Rogue One, we’re going to get big event movies that deals with material outside of the main Saga. After watching this first trailer, I say bring it on!
There’s just something so visceral about this trailer. I love it. I love the way it looks at Star Wars from a grounded, almost street-level perspective. I love the way it positions the Rebellion as a real, gritty, dangerous thing. That’s something I don’t know if I’ve ever felt with Star Wars.
I hope they can pull this off, and all their spin-off movies will be good. I’m not really looking forward to a Young Han Solo movie, but this sort of thing could be right up my alley.
