Last Shot: A Han and Lando Novel
By: Daniel José Older
A Star Wars adventure with Han and Lando seemed just what was needed these days and while overall it was an okay fast read the book itself reminded me about why the Star Wars book world in recent years only infuriates me.
As we get ready for all the new 2020 movies I thought I’d wrap up my movie year in a one sentence for each film post 🙂 I had fun looking back and doing this for 2018.
Though to keep it simple I am limiting it to 2019 theatrical releases mostly in the order I saw them.
I was rewatching the Rise of Skywalker and I think elements of the Mandalorian could have perfectly explained the return of the Emperor!
Then I started thinking about my how it should have ended head canons and some fantasy spin-off ideas and thought why not?
Obviously spoilers for the Rise of Skywalker below. Also I’m in the middle on the movie so whether you loved it or hated it this is meant in good fun 🙂 But onto how the Emperor returned!
Instead of talking about The Rise of Skywalker I wanted to endlessly speculate about my favorite piece of Star Wars media in ages- the Mandalorian. Whose season finale airs this coming Friday.
Obviously spoilers through the most recent episode 7 below.
I was thinking about a list of things that would make a perfect holiday film for me. It was a childhood dream to be an elf in the North Pole- so there’s that… But then my mind went – Jason Momoa or Tom Hardy can be Santa and then I started thinking…
Hey why shouldn’t Venom 2 be Christmas movie?
And it pretty much went downhill from there 🙂
September is finally ending.
Generally speaking it’s always been one of my least favorite months. Miserable heat while everyone else gets to start Fall (so it seems) and always without fail endless sinus infections and migraines that make a meeting with Pennywise look like a pleasant alternative.
Yeah, I am obviously ready for October.
We made it to the half way point! Cheers to us!
Thinking back over all the entertainment books, television and films over the last couple of months all I can do is hope that there are some nice surprises to come. I mean don’t get me wrong there’s been some good stuff even some gems but nothing that really surprised me.
But there are definitely some great options ahead. Especially in books!
Spring is here and April was a very good month in entertainment. I watched my nephew for a week this month and despite predictions I did not sell him for books.
However I’m grateful we weren’t doing a swear jar or anything because even trying to watch myself I’d probably be broke.
I’ve been so busy waiting for Endgame and that It Chapter 2 Trailer I didn’t even realize we were getting Star Wars today. Of course my feelings about Star Wars have been mixed recently so that could also be the reason.
So I thought I’d do some recommendations for those of us who aren’t watching the Super Bowl but who are stuck where everyone else is- or just recommendations period for a Winter Sunday. Then it sort of turned into a Super Bowl themed tag and includes books, movies, shows.
The whole nine years… which is a football thing right? Or golf? I don’t remember.
