Disney’s Star Wars: Characters and Effects
What does it take to make a true Star Wars movie? Relatable characters? Stunning effects? Memorable music? Or does it take something more? Find out if Disney’s Star Wars films make the grade in today’s post!
Disney’s Star Wars: Stories and Themes
So George Lucas sold out to the Mouse, and Star Wars will never be the same. Whether you find that good or bad depends on what you expect from the Star Wars universe. I tend to be a bit more critical of these four films, so feel free to disagree with my take on their stories and themes.
(PS: If you haven’t watched Disney’s Star Wars movies, you may want to scamper off and do so, because you’ll find some spoilers in the post. Reader beware!)
The Favor of Flavor
Have you ever considered how much better life is because we can enjoy flavors? I’m no foodie, but if I lost my taste buds, my world would instantly turn to grayscale. Grab a tasty snack and join me for this celebration of one of God’s kindest gifts: the favor of flavor!
(PS: If you’ve been missing the George Lucas series, fret not! It will start back up next time!)
“One-Anothering” for Introverts
“Sorry I missed your call. I was staring in horror at the screen, wondering why on earth you couldn’t just text me.”
Whether you’d be the one staring or the one calling, you’ve certainly noticed all the recent attention on “introvert awareness.” And that’s all well and good…unless it’s changing the Christian view of “one-anothering.” Want to know how God changed the heart of this thoroughbred introvert when it comes to reaching out? Read on, my friends. Read on.
The Shortcomings of Star Wars I-III, Part 2
In the last post, I was so busy talking about what I liked from Episodes I-III that I didn’t even have time to talk about their shortcomings. Today, I’m making time. Join me as I look at some common sentiments as well as (maybe) some unique ones. As always, feel free to leave questions, comments, or bitter diatribes!
PS: Next time, I think I’ll post something that isn’t about Lucas or Star Wars, just to give you non-geeks a break. You’re welcome. 🙂
The Shortcomings of Star Wars I-III, Part 1
You weren’t surprised to see “Part 1” at the end of today’s title, were you? You know me too well by now. Characteristically, I’ve written an article that was way too long to publish as one post, so I was forced to split it in half. That left a manageable list of “pros” for today and a manageable list of “cons” for next time. Curious? Read on! I’d love to hear your thoughts as well, so feel free to comment!

Sweet, sweet summertime is here! I’m sure you’ll be busy camping, hiking, fishing, sunbathing, and generally having a grand time, but if you happen to wonder why your inbox feels a little roomier in the coming months, this post holds the answer. Also, I reveal the not-so-secret that my husband is actually Superdad, but you’d have to read it to believe it.
