I’m not saying I’m old, but I vividly remember watching Return of the Jedi in theaters as a wide-eyed kid, completely blown away by speeder bikes and Ewoks. From that moment on, Star Wars wasn’t just a movie series to me—it was the series. I begged my parents for the original trilogy on VHS and pretty much wore them out from non-stop rewatches. My room was a shrine to the galaxy far, far away : toys, books, posters, even the John Williams soundtrack on vinyl. Star Wars was life. Then the preque…

Resistance to these memes is futile

Being kind of an old geezer, I grew up on the original trilogy. I saw " Return of the Jedi " in the cinema when I was 7 and was completely hooked ever since. I made my parents buy the first two movies on VHS (which I wore out from watching on repeat). I also had the illustrated books, the toys, the soundtrack on vinyl, and whatever else Star Wars I could get my hands on. So when the prequels arrived, I was already too old to enjoy them for what they are—fantasy movies for kids, just like the or…

"Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The memelord? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. he's a meme legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the meme, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the Internet culture to create jokes… He had such a knowledge of the meme side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from having the sad. The meme side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… hilarious. He became so powe…

Stay on target... Stay on target!

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On one hand, I love the convenience —rolling out of bed, throwing on a decent shirt, and attending a work meeting from the comfort of my home (yes, I may or may not still be in pajama bottoms). It saves time and effort, and I definitely don't miss the daily commute to hear things that could have easily been summed up in an email. On the other hand, the constant barrage of Zoom meetings can sometimes be overwhelming—does anyone else feel like we're just…

I have mixed feelings about Zoom meetings. On the one hand, I love that I can attend work meetings from home in my underwear (with a nice shirt on, of course). It's convenient, saves time, and means I don't have to drive to the office every time the boss shares news that could have been an email. On the other hand, it sometimes feels like all we do now is Zoom meeting after Zoom meeting. It's kind of insane how much time we spend on Zoom calls . However, one way to make these meetings more fun…

Sometimes I think about all those young Star Wars fans back in 1978, sitting at home in front of their 12-inch TV screens, waiting with bated breath for the Star Wars Holiday Special to come on. Just put yourself in their shoes for a second—the only Star Wars they have ever known is the actual "Star Wars" movie they went to see again and again in the cinema because home video isn't even a thing yet. And now they get the promise of an all-new Star Wars adventure. Will it be a continuation of the…

Geronimo!
