Rise of Skywalker spoiler free review: Overall we enjoyed the movie and liked it. There was some things we didn't see coming but a few others we either guessed at before or figured out during the movie. They could have explained some points a bit more but overall liked where they went with the story. Light saber battles were cool, good to see more of them inserted into the sequel trilogy. It was good to see Finn having a solid role in this movie instead of really staying the same in character development in the last two movies. Did a fairly good job of using old Carrie Fisher footage for Leia and it worked well. Thought the entire cast did a great job in their particular roles and I'm sure a lot of them put a lot of physical work into it. John Williams did a phenomenal job with the music and really hope he gets awards for it. Glad he saw through it to the end. And he even made a cameo as a character. Know we missed some of the Easter eggs but there was a good number of nods and cameos, so that was fun. Will enjoy looking for them on next viewings. Final thoughts, good action adventure with the right amount of emotion and comedy. Overall a good, satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga.

However, after seeing this entire trilogy it is obvious that Lucas film really didn't have a plan for these movies and as a result they don't feel as cohesive and flow together as the other trilogies do with inconsistencies and such. While we have liked and enjoyed each of the movies in the sequels and they certainly feel like Star Wars movies, they have not felt like they were one part of a cohesive three part story. Hoping they will see that and when they start working on another movie or trilogy in a few years, that they plan it out better creatively and plot wise, etc. Anyway, those are some of our thoughts, may leave a more detailed review later, maybe when we drop a final review on Mando once the season concludes next week.

Kenobi Tv show: It is finally happening!!! Officially announced at D23!!!! It was really cute with Ewan walking onto stage, then asking Kathleen Kennedy if he is playing Obi-Wan Kenobi and he can finally say yes!! The place went nuts! She confirmed the scripts are done and filming starts next year. Star reports that it takes place eight years after ROTS. We think this will be a great show to explore how Obi-Wan dealt with everything that happened with the war and how he becomes the master we see in Rebels and New Hope. We are really hoping we see/hear Qui-Gon and have at least a Satine reference, but flashback would be better. It has been confirmed that Deborah Chow (did a fantastic job on epi 3 and 7 of Mando) is doing the entire series and will start shooting this summer, being 6 or 8 episodes. So hopefully it will air on Disney plus sometime in 2021.

Madalorian (spoilers) We have now seen the first 4 episodes of the first Star Wars live action tv show. Overall has a great western, lone gun slinger type of vibe and it is working really well. Even though we have yet to see him without his mask, there is so much emotion in scenes with him and the child, ie baby Yoda. It certainly feels like its a part of the Star Wars universe, but in areas/time we haven't gotten that much info on. Each episode seems to tell us a little bit more about what is going on in that time or the past of the characters, so hopefully that trend will continue. As for "baby Yoda", he is so cute and adorable and a great way to get serious and casual fans really interested in the show as you are wondering what is going to happen to this little one, especially when he uses the Force. It also has had great little easter eggs, like the ice cream maker looking container that the mando received his payment in and last night's episode contained a loth cat! We were expecting longer episodes but everyone assumed they would be closer to an hour instead of half an hour. However, so far, each episode has told a complete story and it doesn't feel dragged out but leave you wanting to see what happens next. The humor has been good as well as great action sequences. It has been slightly disappointing, while the supporting cast has done phenomenally, you hadn't seen them in every episode, like they only appear here and there. But other than that, we have thoroughly enjoyed watching it and are looking forward to seeing what they do with the rest of the season. Disney has already announced that season two is in the works and might be already filming. At first we thought this was a huge risk as the public had yet to see the first one. However with adding a Yoda species character that uses the Force, they knew it would be an instant hit. Great idea for Lucasfilm to pair Favreau and Filoni together. We hope to see more of them working together!!

Last Jedi review: Overall the movie was very well done and we enjoyed it emmensly but at times didn't feel like it completed matched with TFA. There were a few things we didn’t like, Canto Bite and several things we were completely surprised by, mainly the ending. There are several shots/scenes that were phenomenal with the sound and cinematography. Johnson did a good job of putting it together. Both Mark and Carrie had their best performances or one of their best. The porgs are sooooooo cute. I want one, a real one. Lol anyway great addition to the Star Wars franchise.

Rogue One Review: Overall it felt like a Star Wars movie, was well done and fits into the Star Wars universe. All the actors did great in each of their roles, though it would have been nice to get a bit more background on some of the characters. Of course there was some cheesy lines, but what would a Star Wars movie be with out them? LOL! We are watching A New Hope right now and they did a great job of blending in elements from it into Rogue One and scenes from both movies just blend perfectly together now! They were able to include things without it being overly too much. There was some shots from the trailers that wasn't seen in the movie but sometimes things do get cut or the reshoots might have changed some things. It did very much have a war feel to it that hadn't been in the other movies. We definitely liked it and think Disney did a good job with the first stand alone film.

Fantastic Beasts Review: Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it and we both want a niffler as a pet! He was so cute, though slightly destructive! Anyway, they did a great job adding to the wizarding world without it being over the top with too many references to Hogwarts or Dumbledore. The beasts were incredible and we liked it that Newt was trying to return the creatures to their natural habitats as well as educate the public about them. The main four did a great job together and there was good chemistry with them and with the couples. As for Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, perfect casting. We had always discussed Johnny was one actor who could pull off being a wizard from England/Europe and glad we finally could see it.

Force Awakens Review: We've seen the movie couple times now and still overall think it was good, well done. Very much liked the references to the originals and had just the right amount of humor. ("You're cold.") The movie felt like Star Wars, blended in well with the others in looks, costumes, music, sounds, the opening crawl, etc. However, it left us with questions we hope the next movie answers, who Rey is, what really happened with Luke, etc. On that note, we think Rey is more likely Luke's than Leia's and a good possibility she is also a Kenobi. It would be great if they did that, all the interesting possibilities.

Meagan and I(Sasha) are sisters who love to hang out together and we also love Star Wars. I was hooked when I saw the originals in the theaters when they were re-released and then I got Meagan hooked. From Earth to Star Wars was our first fanfiction and is the result of two over active imaginations and of course that has stretched onto other worlds. Let's see here, we also enjoy reading/watching Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Scrubs, Reba, Murdoch Mysteries, game shows, and much more. We spend hours discussing this stuff!

The Star Wars concert was totally the best!! It was worth the ticket prices. We were close enough to hear the music and Anthony Daniels. It was pretty cool with the big screens and sound and light effects. The videos you can find on youtube don't do it justice! We of course took pictures of the props they had on display and even R2D2 was spinning around and beeping!! Great time!!! Certainly was the best concert we've been to, even rivaling the one with George and Reba!

The Earth to Star Wars stories are about an Earth woman, Meagan, that magically comes to the Star Wars world to accomplish a goal. Along the way she meets many new friends and eventually she and Obi-Wan Kenobi fall in love and marry. Follow their lives together as they strive to uphold their values in a changing galaxy while protecting their family. These stories are an AU and does take some twists and turns. Part one is completed and part two is in progress. (It is recommended to read part one before starting part two.) We are now completely into the Clone Wars! We are quite excited about what we have planned for during the war, you'll just have to wait to find out what! We have watched the Clone Wars series, so you might be seeing things that seem familiar, but yet different.

The Covered Past: A Harry Potter story that centers around our character Lizzie as she travels to Hogwarts, becomes friends with the famous marauders as well as Lily Evans. As she gets older, she does become closer to a certain young man! The story will go through at least the first war, maybe somewhat beyond that, depending on the ending! It is an au, so anything might be possible. Currently they are in their sixth year at Hogwarts and it will be a big year in more ways than one! So stay tuned!

Welcome Home, Obi-Wan: Is a short story about what might have happened if Obi-Wan had left the Order as a teenager and never returned, leaving Qui-Gon stinging from it. So after ten years, the two meet again, getting the chance to reconcile. Since there has been such a great response, there is a sequel, called The Killing Game, which is now posted! The basis of the story is with a dangerous criminal breaking out of prison, vowing revenge on Obi-Wan and his family! Qui-Gon, of course makes an appearance as well as two other Jedi. Hopefully there will be an update coming soon, but not sure when!

The Lady and the Lord: Here is the first attempt at a Lord of the Rings story. The idea came from watching The Two Towers recently and Kelley walked into the picture and refused to leave! The story is a series of snippets about a Lady of Rohan and her journey before and through the events of The Two Towers and Return of the King with maybe a little afterwards. The main story line stays the same, but it is a slight au. It is a combination of book and movie verse, taking the best of both worlds. We really hope you enjoy this journey to Middle Earth with us.

Videos: We have gotten into making videos about our stories and posting them onto YouTube. We'd love for you to check them out and enjoy! Our Harry Potter video was pulled off and now it's back up, but it still might not have access for everyone...Anyway, we have also had the thought of making a video about the Welcome Home Obi-Wan stories but haven't found someone that could possibly be Deidre, so that might not ever get off the ground! There might also be some more Earth to Star Wars stories for after the Clone Wars!
