Today you're stuck with me, your host. I went on the great interwebs and found some Star Wars news which I share with you all, along with my rants and ramblings about things I am upset with in Star Wars, Hollywood, and the world. You also get a glimpse of what I think "The Last Jedi" could be like if it was a Darren Aronofsky film, and then a Disney film at the end. Sort of.
