Surprising
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The acting was good with interesting characters. The cinematography, imagery, effects were all very well done. The story unfolded ok but had a lot of very predictable parts. This was a "Steam Punk" future world with a lot of cool stuff in it but had just a bit of a "Star Wars-esque" feel to it. Not in a bad way, though. But the story, simplified, was that someone opened Pandora's box and the heroes had to shut it down. Anyway, if you enjoy a good sci-fi/action/adventure tale with just a smidge of love story thrown in, you'll really enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

What a disappointment. I'm so bummed out that the first novel in the new canon about Padme was so boring.
Firstly, they should have given Padme to Claudia Gray, who has proven she gets the Star Wars Universe; her characterization of Leia has been amazing. Secondly, this would have worked as a political novel, had it been written for adults, rather than for the Young Adult crowd. I didn't have a problem with Johnston's Ahsoka novel, because it was Ahsoka. This is Padme for Christ's sake. I'm just so fricken disappointed because I've been waiting for more about Padme for 20 flipping years. I'm so glad I borrowed this from the library.

I get hooked on a multitude of feelings by Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014) #Review
Do you remember when summer SciFi blockbusters were unashamedly fun? Do you remember how you felt watching “Return Of The Jedi”? Before you got all old and cynical and ironic. Before your “Star Wars” heart was hardened by special edition vandalism and successive soulless prequels? Before the angry words and bitter sentiment of a million revisionist websites convinced you the Ewoks were irredeemably lame and that “Jedi” was when the rot started? Do you? Well, that’s what’s waiting for you on the other end of the tickets to Marvel’s “Guardians Of The Galaxy” that you’re going to buy...

Collecting Marvel's Star Wars issues #33 through 37, this is more-or-less a compilation of one-shot stories rather than ant on-going story threads: as such, some of these are better than others.

The same can be said of the art-work.

With stories running the gamut from Luke and Leia trapped on a water(y)-planet, to R2-D2 rescuing C-3PO from the Empire and even from the Point of View of members of the Empire's SCAR squadron, there is plenty of variety here: none, however, (to my eyes) match the impact of the earlier issues (maybe because they were fresher back then?), or even of the cross-over event 'Vader Down'

Basically, this is Star Wars, done right, taking it back to its Western roots with The Mandalorian of the title a bounty hunter hired to capture or kill ("I can take you in hot … or I can take you in cold") a package: a package that proves to be more than he was expecting (and that becomes an internet sensation).

With each episode roughly 30 minutes or so, it never really outstays its welcome, including - during the course of it's 8 episode run - a welcome visit to what must be the most travelled to 'planet that is furthest from the bright centre of the galaxy' aka Tattoinne!

More, please ...
