Star Wars (Disney)

For fans whose interest goes beyond the films, Disney continues to sap the fun out of ‘Star Wars’ (Commentary)

May 4, 2014August 14, 2025 John Hansen Books

Disney has been doing a great job of sucking the fun out of “Star Wars” since it purchased Lucasfilm in October 2012. First, it canceled “The Clone Wars,” leaving many storylines dangling. Now, to judge […]

December 22, 2013April 16, 2021 John Hansen Bates Motel/Psycho

These were my 10 favorite shows of 2013: 1. “Bunheads” (Season 1, ABC Family) — I know “Bunheads” was the best show on TV in 2013 because it appealed to both the heart and the mind. And […]

30 reasons ‘Return of the Jedi’ rocks (and no, ‘Jedi Rocks’ is not one of them) (Movie commentary)

May 21, 2013August 14, 2025 John Hansen Featured

“Star Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi” turns 30 on Saturday, and it’s still looking good. So much so that George Lucas recently gave the nod to a sequel. But the J.J. Abrams-helmed “Episode […]

With ‘Veronica Mars’ and ‘Clone Wars,’ companies show different ways to treat fans (TV commentary)

March 18, 2013August 14, 2025 John Hansen Featured

Two of my favorite franchises, “Star Wars” (which regular readers may have noticed I’m obsessed with) and “Veronica Mars” (my No. 6-ranked show of the Aughts, and on my to-do list for “rewatching and reviewing the classics”) showed different […]

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ gets mysterious heading into 5th-season finale (TV commentary)

February 24, 2013April 18, 2021 John Hansen Star Wars (Disney)

Although the four-part “droids in the void” arc was by far the worst in the series’ run, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” Season 5 (8:30 a.m. Central Saturdays on Cartoon Network) nonetheless ranks as the best season […]

‘Felicity’s’ J.J. Abrams seems like a solid choice to direct ‘Star Wars — Episode VII’ (Movie commentary)

January 25, 2013April 18, 2021 John Hansen Movies

I’ve never fully jumped on the J.J. Abrams bandwagon; he just doesn’t excite me that much as a director, or as a writer. That having been said, I think he’ll do a fine job directing 2015’s “Star […]
