Star Wars: Rebels (2014-2018)

 

Taking place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope this series follows the crew of the Ghost: Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Sabine, Chopper, and Ezra. Kanan and Ezra are Jedi and they go on missions to save the galaxy. At one point we meet up with Ahsoka and Rex. We have a mission with Leia. C3PO and R2D2 meet up with our heroes at one point. Really it’s just a great series. Although I do have one gripe. If you haven’t seen the show, I suggest you stop reading right now. I saw Ahsoka (2023-present) before I watched this show. I will talk more about that later…The point is I knew about Jacen and that Hera and Kanan “got busy” at one point. I know that the main character of Rebels is Ezra and that it is written for children. Still it seemed that the fact that Hera and Kanan were in that kind of relationship just seemed to come out of left field. Maybe some hand holding? A kiss? Something? And that’s my rant…

Like previous entries in this series, this movie doesn’t have much plot, but if your only wish is to see Godzilla stomp on cities? Well check it out.

Autobots Mourn Too by The Assassin’s Pen

 

Set shortly after the end of the first movie, this one shot basically goes over the differences between how humans and autobots mourn. Sam thinks they should mourn more like he does and Optimus Prime tells him that they are mourning, they just don’t do it the same way as humans. It’s really a great story.

Cinder by Marissa Meyer

 


A dystopian Cinderella retelling and the first book in the Lunar chronicles. Cinder is a cyborg and works in a repair shop. Being a cyborg she doesn’t really have autonomy fitting into the whole Cinderella must work for her stepmother even though this is the future thing. One day, Prince Kai comes to her shop for help repairing one of his favorite droids. The book doesn’t end though with the traditional Cinderella ending, but continues through the rest of the series with books based on Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White. I love a good retelling (especially if it’s Cinderella) and fully enjoyed this book.
