Mani Sitaraman: Mike Johnston doesn t have a darkroom? Truly, we are living in the end times.
Well, we might be, Mani, but me not having a
dark room is only because all the rooms in my small Gothic Revival farmhouse (built c. 1888) have windows. As for a
darkroom, I don t think my lack of what my friend Nick Hartmann once called the room-sized photo accessory is quite as portentous as the rough Beast slouching toward Bethlehem or the birds flying backwards and like that.
Looking back, it s been the norm. I seldom had a darkroom in my life. I ve used a parade of workspaces, from professional and school facilities (some of which were very nice, some of which were dank and cavelike) to the most crude and rudimentary workarounds.
Star Wars Hints At How Long Master Yoda Was On The Jedi Council
The High Republic publishing initiative, titled
Light of the Jedi, hints at the fact that Master Yoda has held a seat on the Jedi Council for several centuries.
Of course,
Star Wars fans have always recognized the green alien as one of the most powerful individuals in the entire galaxy. The character originally appeared in
The Empire Strikes Back, serving as Luke’s mentor after Vader killed Obi-Wan on the first Death Star during the events of
A New Hope. And even in the Original Trilogy, which chronicled Yoda’s final years in exile, he was a force to be reckoned with. The canon has already revealed, in fact, that the only person who could potentially wield more power than the Grandmaster through the sheer use of his Midi-chlorians was Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One.
As Star Wars fan movies mushroom globally, a new era of alternate storytelling comes to fore on YouTube Far from the amateur, camcorder-in-the-woods aesthetics of some past efforts, recent productions range from intricately plotted live action to digital shorts made with motion-capture suits.
For the first time in half a decade, a year has gone by without a new
Star Wars film, a planned pause that happened to coincide with the pandemic. But across YouTube, there are plenty of movies set in a galaxy far, far away: those made by fans. Instead of the sci-fi saga’s familiar title crawl and brassy score, though, their work usually begins with notices affirming that rights to the story belong to Lucasfilm.

Star Wars fans were truly thrilled by the Disney Plus series The Mandalorian this year. One of the standout moments in the second series was the arrival of Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who helped Mando (Pedro Pascal) courier his child, Grogu, to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). During Ahsoka’s arrival, however, she did mention she was looking for Admiral Thrawn - a noted villain from TV show Star Wars: Rebels.
