  • Disney & the Shakespearean Formula

  • Star Wars: Snoke was THAT little boy?!

    HERE’S WHAT I WOULD’VE DONE: EPISODE 2 SNOKE THEORY (waaaaay past it’s expiration date, I know!) I think my favorite thing about the sequel trilogy was all of the thought experiments that it gave me. I mean, if it had been completely perfect then there would’ve been nothing for my…
