Contrary to popular belief, not every Star Wars fan is a complete and utter hater of the prequels. If you're a bitter, Gen X original trilogy purist who watched the first Star Wars in theatres before one could even dream of it one day being called “A New Hope," I can understand how the prequels might have been a bit disappointing.

Greetings, nerds. Not sure if I'm alone in this, but I've been feeling a disturbance in the force. It's a strange feeling, almost like a void that was created over the past couple of weeks, a void that gets larger every day. I search and search through the Disney+ menu for some sort of comfort, and it's nowhere to be found. I tried watching the Eternals , utter garbage. I tried rewatching the Mandalorian . I even tried to distract myself with the insanity of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Mad…

When I was a kid, there was one consistent force that was always in my life. One thing I could always count on being there, with all of its wisdom and beauty. I'm talking, of course, about my father's Lego Yoda , fresh in the box. Now I'm not talking about one of those tiny Lego people with Yoda printed on it. Oh no, it is far more glorious than that. My dad won a sizable recreation of Yoda constructed solely with Legos in the late 90s. You might wonder how he won such a prize at a Target in Il…

“You employed the use of a double negative in the title of this article. It shows a command of the English language that is subpar at best and frightening at worst.” If some variation of that thought ran through your head when you read this headline, you're a regular Young Sheldon. Or you're adult Sheldon; knowing pedantic weirdos, you're probably an adult Sheldon. Young Sheldon is at least cute enough to find slightly bemusing, but regular old elder millennial Sheldon can be a real irritating…

Some memes are just better than others. There's a conspiracy theory amongst older generations that because millennials were given participation trophies, they feel like they are way better than they actually are. Boomers fail to realize that kids could, and still can, tell the difference between an award everyone got and one they earned. For instance, when I was in high school, I won the award “Most Likely To Fall Off Of The Risers” in choir class. I wish I could tell you that earning this most…

We are staunchly in the summertime , which means there's no escape from the indomitable orb of the sun and the atmosphere's various strategies of humidifying. Remember, this isn't the hottest summer of your life; it's the coldest summer of the rest of your life. While summertime might be the seasonal favorite of many, I tend to prefer autumn. My favorite thing about September, October, and November is guessing what will be seasonally appropriate to wear. Every day is a different story, resultin…

It's only been a month since Disney+ debuted its latest limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the internet had been talking about it long before its May 22nd premiere. Much of the hype and hubbub existed on Reddit's r/PrequelMemes subreddit, where users make and exchange memes related to everything but Star Wars' first three releases. While the subreddit is known for its devotion to the critically panned prequels, it's also a place where people get excited about the latest shows and movies. As on…

Happy holidays, Star Wars fans. May the 4th is upon us, and we're loving all the Star Wars-related solidarity. It should come as no surprise that we're commemorating this day by sharing a crap ton of Star Wars memes. Fortunately, it's a lot easier to find them than it is to locate a smuggler like Han Solo. The reward, however, is one you really can't put a price on - bringing memes to people who love them is a labor of love. And as much as we'd love the credits, I don't think there's anywhere t…

Peak nerdery

Fan accounts on Twitter are insufferably cringe about 99% of the time, but once in a while they drop some absolute gold. Ewan McGregor fan page @ewansobi really delivered with their recent thread of beautiful early 2000s desktop backgrounds featuring the ever-dashing Obi-Wan Kenobi . We've collected our favorite pictures from the thread (that we may or may not be using to decorate our own desktop backgrounds).

Wyaaaaaa

Ewan McGregor is an international treasure. And today happens to be his 51st birthday. Before he dazzled our screens as the somewhat salty version of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Scottish actor appealed to my more…alternative preferences in his earlier films. I'm talking about the David Bowie-inspired Velvet Goldmine , in which McGregor plays a character based on Iggy Pop. His acting is great, but my friends and I were more interested in the full-frontal nudity he displayed during a raucous rock and rol…

Lightsabre optional

Unlimited memes!

The force is strong with this one

Love him.
