It’s very enjoyable to experience the journey of a teenage heroine that actually has something to offer in terms of investment and personality. Heather isn’t a microphone for screaming, a pithy empowerment message or blank slate. Heather Morris (the original voice actress, I know Amanda Winn-Lee was the HD voice but Morris is the voice I automatically think of) really […]

[The following article gives heavy spoilers for Knights of the Old Republic I and II.] “There’s a lot of lost people out there scattered ever since the Mandalorian Wars. Sometimes it’s like you can almost hear them, like an echo calling out for each other. And maybe, just maybe by finding them I can start putting the galaxy back together.” […]
The sound of running rainSet tufts of gold and greenUnruly as my own hairAnd beckoningTo be mowed and tidiedConsistentlyLike the other chores and challengesTo elevate my life.

[The following article gives heavy spoilers for Knights of the Old Republic I and II.] Still the best Mandalorian in my view, a hard-bitten companion in two very good games. You owe it to yourself to listen to John Cygan’s excellent voice acting if the fictional warrior culture appeals to you. I can’t sell it enough. If Jon Favreau wants […]

At the culmination, in a scene as long as two sentences and a song, the old man speaks to a portrait coming into view. After helping a would-be […]
