The Greatest Palpatine Moment You never Saw

There can be little doubt that Emperor Palpatine is one of the greatest villains in all of cinema. Everything from his hooded robes, his devious voice, to his ability to summon lightning, his debut in Return of the Jedi was one of the most memorable moments in the original trilogy. The prequels expanded the character even further, showing us a different side of the character. Palpatine is a master of duality: on one hand, the hooded, sinister figure who pulls the strings from the shadows, often appearing only as a hologram. On the other hand, his public facade is that

After all, Andor Season 1 had been universally praised by critics and audiences alike for its complex characters, mature storytelling, and unflinching exploration of morality.

The Most “Average” Films of 2022

Despite theaters returning to pre-pandemic capacity, box office reception has been lacking overall this year. While we still had thrilling experiences like Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water, the overall draw to the theater has been lower and lower over the past few years. Unfortunately, this leaves us in a position where we, as a media blog, are unable to actually put together a “best” list for 2022, and are ultimately forced to only rank the “average”-est films of the year. Part of those reasons could be due to franchise fatigue, and when a movie does become
