The 6 Coolest Wookiees (Who Aren’t Chewbacca)
Is there any cooler, more appreciated character in science fiction than Chewbacca? We all know there’s an awesome actor in that costume, but we also all totally treat Chewbacca as a real person. It’s one of my favorite things about the human race.
Women want him, men want to be him
But Chewbacca isn’t the only wookiee worthy of our attentions. The Star Wars Universe is a wide and impressive place, filled with all manner of delightful aliens and crazy people. And after Chewbacca made wookiees so cool, the brilliant minds behind Star Wars went out and created a bunch more! The Star Wars Universe is filled with fun and fascinating Wookiees, and here are the coolest ones (who aren’t named Chewbacca)!
The Inevitable Star Wars Love Continues
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is closer than ever now! And that means the parodies ain’t about to stop anytime soon!
Everything wrong with The Empire Strikes Back.
Everything wrong with Return of the Jedi
Oh Cinema Sins, you almost never disappoint. I think I’m even going to get in on the act. Tune in tomorrow for a Star Warsian List of Six!

6 Possible Star Wars Netflix Shows
The success of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and hopefully the rest of the Netflix Defenders has got me thinking: Why not mimic this success for Star Wars? This was definitely an experimental move for Marvel and Disney, but I’d like to think it’s paying off. And Disney clearly has no plans to ever end their series of Star Was entertainment. We’ll have a new movie and a new spin-off movie every year from now on, not to mention all the cartoons and books and video games we could ever possibly want. That’s just life from now on.
So what if Disney started making a bunch of live action, prestige Star Wars shows for Neflix?

What’s to stop them? An article I saw the other day pointed out the very real fact that few of us will live to see the final Star Wars movie. Disney will outlive us all, and they will continue making Star Wars products from now until the end of time. Rather than be angry with this, I will embrace the inevitable and brainstorm some awesome TV show ideas! Join me after the jump!
And So the Star Wars Parodies Continue
We’re only a few short weeks away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and sure enough, all our favorite parody sites are getting in on the act! Honest Trailers knocked around A New Hope the other day, and now it’s time for the rest to start their no doubt massive preparations!
First up, here’s Everything Wrong With A New Hope.
And here is how Attack of the Clones should have ended!
Good times, people. We’re in for some quality comedic takedowns!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 11/21/15
This is the week. There are a lot of good comics out this week, and I wish I’d found the time to get to even more of them, but this week is special because of the return of two of my favorite comics: Ms. Marvel and The Mighty Thor! These are some of the best in the industry right now, and their returns are most welcome!
But surprisingly, Comic Book of the Week goes to Astonishing Ant-Man #2! Another one of Marvel’s gems, the new issue of Ant-Man delivers a wonderfully entertaining issue that edges out the two more hotly anticipated comics because of the return of a recent favorite character of mine!
Let’s welcome back Miss Thing!
Many happy returns!
And as a special bonus later today, tune in to the Geekamole Youtube channel this afternoon as I join frequent Henchman commenter Maus Merryjest for his weekly pop culture podcast! We talk about Teen Titans, Iceman and much more! If you’ve ever wanted to listen to me talk about comics instead of reading them, now is your chance.
Doubly also, we’ve got some big Gamer Girl & Vixen news coming soon! And if you helped out my Kickstarter last summer, then your comics should be arriving very soon!
Comic Reviews: Astonishing Ant-Man #2, Huck #1, Mighty Thor #1, Ms. Marvel #1, Spider-Woman #1, Titans Hunt #2 and Vader Down #1.
