This 'second tenth' has touched on a range of aspects; Kylo Ren, Snoke, The Resistance, Poe Dameron, Maz Kanata, the new iStormtrooper conditioning, the... Continue Reading →
15/100 : Who is Maz Kanata?
A mysterious alien, quirky at first but wise, small but incredibly ancient, with knowledge of the Jedi and the Force, and somehow with knowledge that should be impossible given that they are a stranger to the main character. Maz Kanata, definitely not similar in any way to anyone I can think of from the original... Continue Reading →

Star Wars The Last Jedi: Back on the right track
---->SPOILER ALERT<--------->SPOILER ALERT<--------->SPOILER ALERT<---- Saturday afternoon I entered the theater not knowing what to expect from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Jeremiah and I had discussed what we thought might happen previously and where we thought certain characters would go, but I wasn’t particularly excited.

An End of an Era
Since Memorial Day 2011 (5/30/2011) Bombad Radio has existed as a voice to fans.

Over the next... Continue Reading →

Though it is never said explicitly, Rey is already suggesting that he's a coward, that he is abandoning duty out of fear and running away from his problems. Perhaps she's right.... Continue Reading →
