better than the prequels by a long shot. (3 more)
Fun little callbacks to the originals
Acting is actually quite good from the newcomers.
The direction is spot on.
This is a fun time at the movies.
This is a very solid addition to the Star Wars franchise. Here's an amazing alternate movie poster in the style of stained glass, which I kinda LOVE.

WOW! What a waste of time and effort.
Contains spoilers, click to show
Well, my review of being shoddy is due to mixed feelings. The story line up until the last 25 minutes was good. I like the cast. the soundtrack, sound effects, special effects and costumes. But that the main characters died doing the right thing I believe is below Star Wars.

One of the earliest official Star Wars tie-in novels, I remember reading this when it first came out in about '94.

What's interesting is how perception changes: at the time, I remember thinking it was one of the best books I'd read, but now (with time behind me) it's not quite as good as I remember. Still worth a read, though!

"I know this is Joseph Campbell for Girls, but when you remember that the Star Wars Trilogy started the popular version of Campbell’s hero’s journey, and that women other than Princess Leia speak for 63 SECONDS of the films’ 386 MINUTES, then, boy oh boy, do we need this great, smart, empowering womanopedia of myth and what to do with it."

This was one of the first, new-canon Star Wars comic runs. It's part of the 'Journey to Force Awakens' series, and picks up right after Return of the Jedi ends. It was a good start to new canon, and helped fill in some gaps. This run also introduced us to Poe's parents.
I also love the art for this series.

Spaceballs is the most accessible of Mel Brooks' films as it seems to be the least dated as of today. Having rewatched it recently, it still holds up as a great parody of not only Star Wars, but Star Trek, Alien and Planet of the Apes as well.

I raised my 3 kids on the film, so we often will have Spaceballs "quote-a-thons" back and forth through text or message.


There is something in it for everyone; however, Dark Helmet is the greatest.
