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.

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!”
