A Spoiler-Free Parent’s Guide to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 Lauren 1 Comment Movies

As soon as the early reviews for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story started hitting the internet, I knew I had a problem.

So instead of listing our favorite Trek characters or episodes, we’ve decided to […]

April 13, 2016April 13, 2016 Sarah 1 Comment Books, Movies

I’ve long since come to terms with the fact that the star Wars EU I grew up with has been regulated to Legends status (we even did an entire eu-logy for it on the Boldly Going Somewhere podcast). And I even started to get excited that the arrival of The Force Awakens was ushering in […]
