The newest Ahsoka trailer was released this week. I was expecting a new trailer soon given how close we are to the premiere date. This trailer is loaded with first looks from live-action Thrawn to purrgil. In case you missed it, here it is to watch it repeatedly.
There are rumors that Hayden Christensen may be in this series, probably returning as a Force ghost. I am very excited for this series and we are getting two episodes on the first day!
It’s June 1st which means another Star Wars month has ended. I kept things pretty basic this year; I didn’t have much to post about. No new projects were announced nor any new trailers (I was hoping for a new Ahsoka trailer).
This post also stands in for the Monthly Movie wrap-up post I do after each month. May’s theme should be obvious. Every year, during the month of May, is my Star Wars movie marathon. I managed to squeeze in all 11 movies but not on Disney+. My home theater has a pretty decent HD setup and I own all 11 movies either on Blu-ray or 4K.
I also watched the Kenobi series, again. Listening to the soundtracks is also on the list every May. In fact this year I even wrote a couple of posts about the music of Star Wars.
Bonus and Special Event Movies
There is a special event movie in May. On the 25th we celebrate Geek Pride Day. On the 25th I break from the Star Wars marathon to watch Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy in honor of Towel Day.
Watching 12 movies in a month, and only during the work week, is pretty tough. Therefore there wasn’t a bonus movie. It really puts into perspective how many movies I can manage and sets a precedent for future movie selections for the other months of the year.
I bought [a copy of] the soundtrack for all 11 Star Wars movies and listen to them regularly. If there is a day at work when I need to buckle down, the music of Star Wars gives me focus. Despite the divisive fandom, the one thing we all agree on is that the music is fantastic.
Therefore, as part of my Star Wars movie marathon this month I thought I would share my favorite tracks from each film.
This is an unusual topic for a “How Much Do You Know” but this one is interesting. I recently watched Episode 1 as part of my Star Wars marathon for Star Wars month. The music in Star Wars is, undoubtedly some of the best music in cinema. John Williams is a legend. The origin of this track from The Phantom Menace score is really cool. It truly illustrates John Williams’s genius. How much do you know about Duel of the Fates?
To all of my fellow Star Wars Fans, Happy Star Wars Day! Let’s be kind to all of the different types of fans. It shouldn’t matter if you’re an OT/EU fan, PT, ST, Lucas only, or everything (like me). We’re all fans and we love what we love. Be Your Own Fan and don’t give in to the haters.
If you know of any deals please post them. So far Disney is already posting new collections and products at shopDisney. There are also two new animated shows available on Disney+: Young Jedi Adventures and Visions Volume 2.
Gamespot has a decent list of available deals here.
Title: The Return Director: Rick Famuyima Runtime: 41 minutes
This is it, folks! The season three finale! I can’t believe it’s already been eight weeks since the season started. There are no Easter eggs this time. If you watched the episode last week then you know exactly where we left off, so let’s discuss it.
Chapter 24 picks up right where the last episode left off, obviously. Bo-Katan and the rest of the Mandalorians are fighting to retake their home world and Din Djarin has been captured.
