Star Trek: The Story Behind The Enterprise’s Name

The 1960s were a wild time for many reasons, but it was also a great time for scientific discovery and exploration, the moon landing being at the pinnacle of all this in 1969. Before this, however, the interest in what lay among the stars had been fascinating humans since prehistoric times. It only makes sense that one massive leap for mankind in the distant future will be to explore the stars — or as a wise captain once put it: ‘boldly going where no one has gone before’....

Star Wars: The Sequel Trilogy Tried to Give Rey A Hero’s Journey But Failed

TheStar WarsSequel Trilogy tried to give Rey a hero’s journey and set up said journey very well, but the chosen ending, back on another desert planet and alone, didn’t really deliver a full-circle moment for the character. Instead, it felt forced and unnatural.Rey’s journey started with so much promise of growth: a young girl, abandoned and alone, but powerful, much more powerful than she could have ever imagined. The potential of what she could be wasn’t about her heritage, or why her parents had left her behind, it was about the idea that the force, the story ofStar Wars, could extend beyond the Skywalkers....
