Bonus Episode #0012 - Full Length SOLO Review

If you haven't grown tired of online nerds yammering on and on about Solo yet, then we have the show for you!  It's an hour long discussion and review, full of spoilers, insights and fun!  Have a listen as I am joined by my old pal from The Expanded Fandomverse, Jason Collier, AND, show Patron and all around cool guy, Ryan Dassing.  We all come to the table with different takes and opinions, and that leads to a great conversation.

Warning!  This episode is an hour long.  Not your normal episode of LT12P, by a long shot!  So, pace yourself, take your time, and enjoy!

Weird Star Wars

This episode started out as my "Gut Reaction" on the latest episodes of Star Wars Rebels, but it turned into my treatise on what Pablo Hidalgo has called "weird Star Wars".  Have a listen and let me know what you think.  Thanks!

Gut Reaction: SOLO Trailer... Kinda

Here are my initial thoughts on the new trailers for SOLO. 

Sorta, kinda. 

I start on this topic, but actually spend most of the episode discussing another topic that's been on my mind quite a bit recently...  Is Star Wars still special?  Have a listen to hear what I mean, and then let me know what you think!

Gut Reaction: Star Wars Adventures

After spending too much time online this past week, I needed something fun, simple and pure Star Wars.  And I think I found it in the Star Wars Adventures comic book published by IDW.  Here is my mini-review, in only 5 minutes!





ALSO... I am experimenting with a video edition of the show.  I have a great deal of technical details to work through first, but here ya go, this is my "rough draft".  Please, let me know what you think!

The Last Jedi Review

Today’s episode is more than just my typical Gut Reaction, it’s the closest thing to a review I can accomplish in under five minutes.  Warning, spoilers ahead!

The Last Jedi: Declan McMahon's Initial Thoughts

Just moments after we got out of the theater tonight, after seeing the premier of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I turned on the recorder to get my son's first thoughts on the film.  I'll be working on my own review this weekend, but for now, here is what Declan, the 14 year old casual Star Wars fan, thought of the film.

Warning, spoilers ahead!

Gut Reaction: Forces of Destiny

I'm a little late on this one (late in posting a new episode and late in talking about this topic) but today I finally get around to reviewing this years animated Star Wars micro-series.  Have a listen to hear what I though, and then let me know if you agree or disagree.  I wanna know!  ;-)

Gut Reaction: Battlefront 2

I had preordered Star Wars Battlefront 2, which gave me early access to the game.  So, today's episode is a bit of my personal history with Star Wars video games, along with my initial thoughts on BF2 (which was officially released today!).  And I keep it spoiler free, so feel free to listen even if you haven't play it yet.  Enjoy!

Gut Reaction: Star Wars Rebels: Season 4, Episode 9 "Rebel Assault"

Gut Reaction: Twin Suns

 I don't do a lot of review episodes here on Less Than 12 Parsecs.   Reviews are not my strong suit. However, from time to time, I like to share my "Gut Reaction" about something in the world of Star Wars.

Well, ever since Saturday, all anyone is talking about is the episode of Star Wars Rebels titled "Twin Suns".   Everyone and their brother is sharing their reviews of this episode online!  So, I decided to jump on this band wagon.  So here are just a few of the things that came to mind after I watch Twin Suns.  Please enjoy my Gut Reaction!
