GREETINGS FROM AIRSHIP GLITZVILLE!
The splendiferous exciting adventures and inane ramblings of KT Glitz and his beautiful wife Toni Glitz. There will also be garbage talked about music, movies and Star Wars, a LOT of Star Wars!
If you can't be a good example, you'll just have to be a horrible warning!
Never forget your dreams, they are the hopes of the future!
The dust has now settled, and the twin suns of Tatooine are setting as The Book Of Boba Fett has reached its grand finale. There are certainly very mixed feelings out there on the series. Like The Last Jedi, The Book Of Boba Fett took a different approach to Star Wars storytelling. However, with The Book Of Boba Fett, a lot of that was the fact that the titular hero was not the main focus of every episode.
With the conclusion of The Book of Boba Fett on Disney+, it is hardly surprising that the attention of the fans is once again focusing on The Mandalorian Season 3. This is expected given the prominent role that the titular Mandalorian played in The Book of Boba Fett. The question on everyone’s lips is, when will we get to see the return of The Mandalorian on Disney+?. According to a new report, we could be getting to see The Mandalorian Season 3 around Christmas time, so at the end of December 2022.
Star Wars and Marvel have just revealed Obi-Wan, a new comic series to be released in May that will delve deeper into key moments from the life of one of the biggest heroes in the Star Wars galaxy, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Written by Christopher Cantwell with art by Ario Anindito, the series finds the titular hero in the final days of his time on Tatooine, chronicling earlier adventures in his own journals (which were previously referenced in Marvel’s Star Wars series).
Coruscant is an ecumenopolis planet (where the cities have merged into one city across the whole planet) located in the Core Worlds quadrant region of the Star Wars universe. The first mention of Coruscant was in 1991 in the Timothy Zahn novel Heir To The Empire, but it didn’t make its screen debut until 1997 when it appeared at the end of the Return Of The Jedi special edition.
DC movies have always been quite epic and dark and often lacking humor. Enter James Gunn and The Suicide Squad. James Gunn not only managed to keep the dark and gritty DC feel while injecting a bucket load of humor into the mix. The Suicide Squad was to DC what Guardians of the Galaxy was to Marvel. This writer was very excited when it was announced that James Gunn would be taking on a spin-off television show using the Peacemaker character.
In A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, lightsabers were presented as either blue or red. Obi-Wan Kenobi's lightsaber had a blue blade, which became associated with the Jedi, as did the one that he gave to Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader, however, had a red lightsaber, which then became forever associated with the Sith. This all changed in Return of the Jedi when Luke Skywalker had built himself a new lightsaber. His new lightsaber broke away from the established color standard that everyone had come to expect as this one was green. However, all of the original posters and promotional material for Return of the Jedi had Luke Skywalker using the traditional blue-bladed lightsaber. Luke Skywalker's blue lightsaber even made it into the trailers. Based on this you can imagine the audience’s surprise when the actual film had Luke Skywalker using a green-bladed lightsaber rather than a blue one.
There is no denying that Star Wars and lightsabers go hand in hand. The lightsaber quickly becomes one of the most iconic weapons of all time. If you see a glowing blade anywhere these days, there are very few people that would not immediately think of Star Wars. Space wizards with laser swords are what it is all about. Across the Star Wars franchise, we have been treated to many glorious lightsaber fights. The debate still rages on as to which lightsaber fight is the best with each of the three trilogies offering up at least one candidate for the title. There is a lot less talk though about the deaths that were inflicted with a lightsaber and how that is represented in live-action Star Wars movies and television shows.
Anyone with even a passing interest in Star Wars projects will be well aware that the secrecy around them is phenomenal. There are many interviews with cast and crew members where they have shared information on how secrets are maintained and the lengths that Disney/Lucasfilm will go to maintain that secrecy.
Back in 2014, Marvel unleashed Guardians of the Galaxy upon the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Written and directed by James Gunn, the MCU started to head in a new direction with this chapter. Guardians of the Galaxy was a Marvel Cinematic Universe film, and so much more.
The Star Wars universe is packed with strange creatures and monsters. It’s because of things like this that it appears interesting and diverse. Over the years we have gotten to know these creatures and monsters and learn more about them through various layers of media. One creature/monster that we don’t know too much about however, is the sarlacc. The sarlacc was first introduced to the Star Wars universe in the 1983 movie Return Of The Jedi.
Back in September of 2021, Star Wars gaming fans were delighted to hear that Aspyr Media are going to be releasing a remake of the BioWare/LucasArts classic game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for PS5 and Windows PC, with release for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One at a later date . The initial announcement was made as part of the Sony PlayStation Showcase.
The new year is now upon us, and we are already two episodes into the much anticipated Disney+ Star Wars series The Book of Boba Fett. This is just the start of things, though, with Lucasfilm having lots of things lined up for us in 2022.
I cannot imagine there are many Star Wars fans who would not be absolutely thrilled to get some sort of role in a Star Wars movie or TV show no matter how big or small. Disney and Lucasfilm recently made some dreams come true as they invited some fans to be extras on the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
It was back to work today. New year, new job role. Weirdly I didn't really do that much on the new job front as I spent most of my time just dealing with straggling hangover bits from last year. I'll be easing into the new role gently but I am really looking forward to it.
I am loving this mild weather that we are having at the moment as it makes my morning walks very pleasant. I did my round today and wished many Happy New Year greetings to familiar dog walking faces before diverting to the Co-op for a few supplies.
When I got home it was time for the weekly roll baking so that Toni has her usual supply.
I then settled in with a cuppa and decided that the first books in my Goodreads.com reading challenge for 2022 would be all of the Harry Potter books, I haven't read them before and decided that it was about time I did. I'm rising above all of the noise about her online and intend to just read the books without undue influence from the internet. You can find me on Goodreads here:
We finished off season two of Canada's Drag Race this afternoon. Compared with the US and UK versions this one always seems a little lacklustre but there were some good moments in it. This one was one of those rate occasions where we didn't actually mind who won as Icesis Clouture, Kendall Gender and Pythia were all very good. Congratulations to Icesis Couture though on getting the win.
My Sunday roast was accompanied by Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, continuing our Wizarding World adventures.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Harry Potter films reunion special was made called Harry Potter: Return To Hogwarts. Featuring the main cast Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint alongside many other stars from the films this was a very heart warming trip down memory lane for the cast discussing their memories and experiences as part of this beloved movie saga. The show featured interviews with the cast, never-before-seen clips, special guests and a few surprises!
If you are a fan of these movies then this is definitely worth a watch. Here's one of the trailers.
