Thirty Years of Waru
On December 8th, 1994, Bantam/Spectra published Star Wars: The Crystal Star, which has since become known as the worst Star Wars novel of all time. Looking back, thirty years on, does it still take that title? Did it ever?

Book Review | The Bounty Hunter Wars
Do not read these books. I cannot recommend them to even the most devoted Boba Fett fan, much less to anyone else. These books are miserable tedium to read. The story told is convoluted, amoral, and ultimately inconsequential. Feature little bounty hunting and less war. 3/10, 2/10, 3/10

Television Review | The Acolyte
The Fauci of Star Wars TV. There's clearly been a lot of effort put towards making something great. But it isn't great, not least because it isn't really complete. I don't think the show deserves scorn so much as it deserves pity; I wish that it had achieved its potential. 5/10
