I love Star Wars day, don't you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sunMBA651Xw This clip accurately represents my feelings for Star Wars every May 4th To mark the celebration, I viewed one of the few remaining arcs of the Clone Wars I hadn't seen yet -- The Shadow Collective, composed of the following episodes: ‘Revival’, 514 ‘Eminence’, 515 ‘Shades of...

Sunday Star Wars: Kanan First Blood – Comic Book Review
Somehow I managed to miss out on talking about the final issue of the previous volume, The Last Padawan, reviewed last week here. All the more power to me, as it was very open-ended - I'm lucky to be able to read both volumes practically in bulk, I'd have chewed my leg off if I... Continue Reading →
Saturday Star Wars: Kanan The Last Padawan – Graphic Novel Review
I read this on the recommendation of a dear friend. The first volume of Kanan, The Last Padawan is another excellent, heartbreaking story of the Jedi Purge and its consequences on those few padawans that made it through the cracks after Palpatine's Order 66. The first issue presents a very classic Clone Wars era story,... Continue Reading →
Star Wars Sunday: Wot I’ve Got to Catch Up On! Comics and Books!
No matter how widely you read, there's always new Star Wars titles to check out. I have no ambition of reading all of them; I don't even have the desire to do so. Not all Star Wars releases are good - something the latest movie has reminded us all too well. But I refuse to... Continue Reading →
Sunday Star Wars: Kreia, the One-Woman Critique of the Force
Concept art of Kreia. At the heart of the best-written video game based on the Star Wars universe is Kreia, a complex character who serves to voice criticism against, and complicate, the way we perceive the Force. Kreia, known also as Darth Traya, was a Jedi Master turned Sith after her exile at the hands... Continue Reading →
Sunday Star Wars: March Meme-A-Thon
It is a dark time in the galaxy. So what better way to alleviate the darkness than via a selection of memes based on everyone's favourite space opera?! DISCLAIMER: I've made none of these memes, I've merely saved them over the years. We all know the bothans are incompetent, Admiral Ackbar Just Confirms it. Here... Continue Reading →
Sunday Star Wars: Enough With the Crappy Retconning!
Star Wars fans on Twitter, Reddit and all over the Internet have had a field day with all kinds of interesting tidbits, courtesy of Episode IX's novelization. Virtually all of it has to do with Palpatine clones - which is one nightmare I'd hoped we had collectively turned away from after Disney's wiping of ye... Continue Reading →
Month in Review: February 2020 at the Reliquary
Greetings, Reader! Join me once more as I reminisce about the last month at the Grimoire Reliquary! I've read wonderful books, I've read good novellas, I even read a couple of forgettable but I regret that not at all - few things offer as many teaching moments to the aspiring writer as mediocrity does! But... Continue Reading →
SATURDAY STAR WARS – The High Republic Imprint Has Me Excited!
Here's a little something you might've learned about me over the last few weeks, reader, if not the last few years. I am...quite fond of Star Wars. Yes, it's true; I know, I know, you are shook to the core of your being, considering the title of this post. Bear with me as I gush... Continue Reading →
SUNDAY STAR WARS: In Celebration of the Clone Wars!
I want you to seriously consider what you're about to read. Even with the first season of The Mandalorian available for streaming, the Clone Wars is still the definitive Star Wars experience on the small screen. "What? No!" I hear you say. "The Mandalorian was so good! How can a 3D animated series that ran... Continue Reading →
