Obi-Wan & Anakin vs Count Dooku - Fight Scene | Star Wars Revenge of the...

Got to love the great Christopher Lee as Count Dooku. One of the best castings in Star Wars and Dooku was another awesome character. Also ironic since Lee was good friends with Peter Cushing who played Grand Moff Tarkin in the original and kind of in Rogue One via CGI.
With this and Saurmon, Christopher Lee has his own signature late in his career, playing fallen characters who go from major villain in the second film to getting killed off immediately in the third.


Star Wars Episode III: Obi-Wan vs. General Grievous

To me, General Grievous is one of the coolest and underrated characters in Star Wars history.
By the way, got to love Obi-Wan saying in the original Star Wars how a blaster is clumsy and random when it saved his life here. Also, not a bad shooter.

Every Time R2-D2 Saves the Day

Today would've been the 85th birthday of actor Kenny Baker who played everyone's favorite droid R2-D2 for the first six Star Wars films and was a consultant for R2 in The Force Awakens. He passed away in 2016 at the age of 81 due to illness.

Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul | Star Wars The Phantom Menace (1999) Mo...

n my opinion, the best lightsaber battle in the Star Wars movies. No talking, just action.



Duel Of The Fates from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (Official...

Happy 20th Anniversary to Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Say what you will about it and many rightfully have but I find it underrated as Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor have great chemistry as Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the lightsaber battles are among the best in the series, and John Williams provides an awesome soundtrack.

Fighting the Frizzies at Eleven (RESTORED - HIGH QUALITY)

Also, Happy Belated Anniversary to the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special which had it's 40th Anniversary back on November 17th. The special originally aired on CBS and saw the original cast reunite in nice story where they took Chewbacca back to his home planet for Life Day which I believe is their form of Christmas. I've never seen it but it's considered awful as George Lucas even disowned it and it's never been released on video outside of recorded bootlegs. Still, it did have the debut of legendary bounty hunter Boba Fett and I'm sure it's now a masterpiece compared to the trainwreck of The Last Jedi. Yeah, I said I enjoyed it last year but I was in denial I was watching a big budgeted version of Highlander II: The Quickening.
Of course, this special is also famous for this CBS bumper.

Star Wars Characters Who Should Have Their Own Movie August 22, 2017 By Ryan Porzl

Since acquiring Star Wars, Disney has had a lot plans for new Star Wars movies. By now it's well known that one of those plans is to make a Han Solo prequel movie. Should the movie be successful, it could open the door for other films. The Star Wars universe has had many great characters but we've never got to see more of their stories. So here now is a list of characters that should one day get their own movie and expand their stories..

In Defense of the Star Wars Special Editions

In Defense of the Star Wars Special Editions
June 1, 2017 
By Ryan Porzl

The original Star Wars Trilogy is one of the greatest trilogies and series of movies in the history of American film. They had everything from entertainment, great characters, great stories, excellent soundtracks, and special effects that were unheard of for their time that could be considered breathtaking. In 1997, George Lucas decided to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Star Wars by re-releasing the Star Wars trilogy into theaters but wouldn't release the classic films the way people remembered them but rather newly enhanced versions called "The Special Edition". These editions not only featured better sound and quality but new scenes and some alterations. While the films were hugely successful in theaters, they've been extremely polarizing in the two decades since their releases with many believing that Lucas soiled his masterpieces. Speaking of Lucas, the Special Editions would be the beginning of the end for his reputation as many would argue Lucas ruined the series with them, the prequel trilogy, among other things to the point where it wasn't until the sale to the Walt Disney Company and the release of Episode VII: The Force Awakens that many believed the series began a comeback. However, we're the special edition really that bad. I'm among those who doesn't believe so and to celebrate the recent 40th anniversary of the original Star Wars' release as well as the 20th anniversary of The Special Editions, I'll explain why The Special Editions are not only not bad but at times had benefits. Before I begin, I don't agree with every change they did. I agree that "Han Shot First" and he should always shoot first especially when he's defending himself from a bounty hunter named Greedo who's holding him at gunpoint trying to collect a bounty on his head. I think that's what you call "self-defense".
