This Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi article contains spoilers.
Like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett before it, Obi-Wan Kenobi is full of both Prequel and Original Trilogy easter eggs. But “Part III” also has several callbacks to the old Legends continuity that was erased from canon after Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. Most intriguingly, the episode suggests that a few Jedi Knights from the old timeline have been brought back to canon and into the history of the galaxy far, far away in a way that could hint at their future involvement in this Disney+ series or future Star Wars stories.
It’s possible you missed these references during the action-packed episode that finally sees Obi-Wan come face to face with the monstrosity Anakin Skywalker has become 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith. Before the fight where Darth Vader absolutely demolishes his old master, we get...

When Brandon Sanderson wrote The Way of Kings, the first book in The Stormlight Archive series, he was ready to give up on publishing. Throwing away any ideas of what the market wanted, he decided to write something instead for himself. Now, 18 years later, Rhythm of War, the fourth book of The Stormlight Archive, marks Sanderson’s 25th novel, and something over seven million words of published fiction. He is, of course, not the only person who has enjoyed the epic fantasy saga.
That success was never a guarantee. Sanderson wrote 13 novels before he sold one: Elantris, in 2003. (It was published in 2005.) “The Way of Kings was number 13, the last of those unpublished books,” he recalls to Den of Geek. When trying to write for the market, he produced what he feels were some really awful novels, and beginning The Way of Kings was a...

Review by Mark Longden
If you’re a generation X kid (mid 30s to late 40s?) you will have encountered He-Man at some point. Whether it was the ubiquitous TV show or the even more ubiquitous figures, he was everywhere in the 80s. I loved the TV show, but was never a big toy guy, so it’s been interesting in recent years to listen to friends of mine who became collectors, talking about the various directions of the toys and TV shows over the years.
That’s why I was really pleased to discover the existence of this documentary, made by Randall Lobb and Robert McCallum, who’ve also made a bunch of other nerdy documentaries. Can it keep the interest of an at-best distant fan such as I?
Before I start: if I suddenly sound a lot smarter, that’ll be thanks to the input of my friend Alex,...

Many of the early Star Trek novels, especially a few of the 1970s Bantam line, where generally written by fans of Tos. Authors like Sandra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath were huge proponents of the Kirk and Spock relationship, and more so it seemed a lot of the time, just Spock himself. Many of those Bantam titles and the early ones by Simon and Schuster’s Pocket Book line after Star Trek: The Motion Picture, were heavily Kirk, Spock and McCoy centric and a good percentage were written by women.
Which was not bad, just a rather interesting statistic. Back in 1985, author Barbara Hambly released her first Star Trek novel, Ishmael. And for the last 26 years, it has sat in either a bookshelf or in a box, unread. When I started collecting the Star Trek novels back in the 1980s, I had a lot of good intentions of reading them. But somewhere along the line,...

Since the dawn of the fantasy genre, which should properly be attributed to J.R. R. Tolkien, there have been many, many attempts by many authors to replicate what he did. Sure there has been many fantasy books published before and after, but most were more magical realism –setting them in our world, and then adding fantasy elements (such as the King Arthur stories, or even Homer’s The Odyssey) – than what Tolkien created with his The Lord of the Rings. He was the first World Builder, outside of science fiction, who created a universe so different, with new words, new phrases and new creatures. Sure, these stories were basically retelling of ancients myths most of learned about in school, with their battle between good and evil , but to create a world filled with so many new things, with so many new cities, religions, people it seemed the author was...

Yes, the book reviews continue with sequels. Dark Delicacies II was originally released in 2007, followed by Dark Delicacies III in 2009. Dark Delicacies II is a horror anthology, with a total of eighteen stories, from various authors (listed above). Del Howison is the editor of this novel and he is also the owner of a horror curiousity store in Burbank, California. Full of tales of demonic dogs, zombie wars, cursed violins and much, much more, Dark Delicacies II is a bloody good time, with only a few stumbling missteps.
This review will focus on a few of the macabre highlights, before, briefly, mentioning some of the more avoidable tales, in this series.

The perceived “blackening” of Broadway continues
Thespian Jeffrey Wright will be bringing his Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning acting skills to Broadway once again, this fall, to star in the world premiere of John Guare’s epic stage drama A Free Man of Color, which is set in New Orleans, in the year 1801, and centers on Jacques Cornet (played by Wright), “a new world Don Juan and the wealthiest inhabitant of this sexually charged and racially progressive city. Jacques thinks all is well in his paradise until history intervenes, setting off a chain of events which no one, much less this free man of color, realizes is about to splinter the world.”
Of course, said chain of events would more than likely be the Louisiana Purchase.
Actors of note joining Wright will be Mos Def (who also co-starred with Jeffrey in Suzan-Lori Parks’ Tony Award-winning play Topdog/Underdog), Nicole Beharie...
