Commentary by Arezou Amin and Dr. Nora Williams We’re Not Mad, Just Disappointed: A Star Wars Story It’s that time again. Time for Nora and I to read a for-fun adaptation of a well-loved classic, and take it far too seriously. But you know what? Something being for fun is absolutely no excuse to notContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: William Shakespeare’s The Jedi Doth Return”

Biweekly Book Review: William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back
Commentary by: Arezou Amin and Dr. Nora Williams I ask you, Ian Doescher, who is this for? The Empire might strike back, but I guarantee it doesn’t strike back quite as hard as two art-major Star Wars nerds who’ve spent a year in quarantine and have nothing but time. That’s right, I am back withContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: William Shakespeare’s The Empire Striketh Back”
Biweekly Book Review: Aftermath: Empire’s End
War is coming. It’s time for the Battle of Jakku and the fall of the Empire. Today we’re going to be wrapping up the Aftermath series. From here on out, we will be firmly in the Sequel Trilogy timeline, and I promise I won’t let my Episode IX feelings out too much (because I’ve beenContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Aftermath: Empire’s End”
Doing My Part to Stay Engaged

We can enjoy the media for what it is, we can love the villainous charactersContinue reading “Doing My Part to Stay Engaged”

For the next three reviews, I’ll be feeling the pressure in a whole new way as we look at a new take on a Legends-era favourite. It’s timeContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: Thrawn”
Biweekly Book Review: A New Dawn
I read this book about a year after I saw 2 episodes of Rebels, and gave up on it. It’s a testament to this book that I associated it with vague positive feelings even after I’d given up on the media it was clearly meant to accompany. I’ve since seen the entirety of Rebels (andContinue reading “Biweekly Book Review: A New Dawn”
Writing Wednesdays
If you know me at all, you know there’s nothing I like better than a schedule. So from now on, Wednesdays posts will be writing focused. I am lucky enough to have a job that allows me time in the mornings to work on my own projects, and I am going to keep myself accountableContinue reading “Writing Wednesdays”
Welcome to the blog!
Not gonna lie, I’m a little scared. It’s not the writing itself that’s got me scared. That part is fine. It’s remembering to update this semi-regularly. I’ve started and abandoned blogs before, so I’m hoping by putting this out there I’ll keep myself accountable (watch me abandon this in 2 weeks HA) But in theContinue reading “Welcome to the blog!”
