I am one with the meme and the meme is with me

A jar? Jar!

Happy Wednesday, force superfans and Jedi wannabees! It's that time of the week. You know, that bright spot when we give you a slew of Star Wars memes to spark a little hope in your otherwise mundane life. What was your first exposure to Star Wars? This may seem like a silly question, but the fact that the massive franchise spans generations, answers are bound to vary. Maybe you're an OG fan; old enough to have seen “Return of the Jedi” in theaters. Maybe you're a brand new fan; recently hoppin…

Star Wars fans, I have a complaint. I am still pretty devastated about the imminent closure of the immersive LARP Star Wars hotel, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser . When I say this had a short shelf life, I mean it. It opened on March 1st, 2022, and will close permanently on September 30th, 2023. It's like Disney didn't even give this hotel a chance to thrive by making some changes and decided to cowardly quit while they were behind. I'm not going to act like this hotel didn't have problems. Th…

Happy Monday, sci-fi nerds, geeks, and everything in between! It is, once again, that time of the week when we deliver the content for your necessary nerdy hankering . What's your favorite sci-fi franchise ? The obvious choices are either Star Trek or Star Wars—Trekkies versus Star Wars fans, a tale as old as time. Whether or not you are partial to any side of fandom, you have to admit there are some pretty stellar sci-fi franchises besides the big two, right? Me? I'm a huge fan of The Matrix s…

Happy Wednesday, prequel-lovers, sequel-lovers, and every other appreciator of the galaxy far far way! It's once again time for your mid-week helping of Star Wars memes and force-based funnies. I don't care what anybody says about the last decade of Star Wars movies. Sure, they're not particularly consistent in plot or tone, but they were the first opportunity many of us newer fans had to see the universe in IMAX. A Star Wars flick is an event! Sure, the prequels weren't the best received as th…

These are strong with the force

This week, the trailer for the new Peter Pan & Wendy movie came out. I'm shocked that Disney is attempting to do a Peter Pan live-action remake; If they think they can compare to Hook , they are out of their minds. Personally, I was obsessed with the made-for-TV live-action Peter Pan starring Mary Martin in 1960. It was an adaptation of the Peter Pan Broadway musical, so Disney didn't get their greasy paws on it. My favorite thing about Peter Pan the musical is that they cast a middle-aged woma…

I don't know if there's ever been a better toy in existence than the lightsaber toys that dominated the shelves in the 2000s. They are 1000% cooler than those silly Harry Potter wands could ever be. They lit up, made cool noises, and were the perfect tool for accidentally whacking your sibling in the throat. When you're a child, whether you're an avid Star Wars fan or not, you feel an almost primeval urge to get into sword fights with other children. You could use sticks, flimsy foam swords, or…

Adult Yoda is included!

Yikes.

If you are a young Gen Z, your vocabulary is probably rotted because of your exposure to the internet. Trust me, I would know. The way I speak has so man colloquialisms you'd think I was a character written by a boomer for the expressed purpose of making fun of young people. I say words like stun, werk, and fierce as if I was a robot programmed to do so. Friends have told me that because they hang out with me, they've started accidentally calling people “gorg” in corporate environments, much to…

Get wet.

Once you leave school and get into the regular routines of life, it can be hard to find new things to do that make you think. It's often difficult to find something exciting to stimulate your brain. Many people use little games and puzzles to keep their brains challenged and active, which is admirable. While doing a crossword every day probably won't make you a genius, it can imbue little nuggets of knowledge into your mind that previously might have just stayed in the newspaper. Personally, I…

One of the best things about memes is they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It doesn't seem like memes are in danger of extinction, but you never know. As a kid, I was anxious about the entire internet deleting itself in a burning of the Library of Alexandria-esque crisis. This dilemma kept me up at night; If the internet got deleted, how would I watch the newest episode of Annoying Orange and Charlie the Unicorn? As I've grown older, I've found much more reasonable end-of-the-world scenario…

May the memes be with you
