What I Love: Return of the Jedi
"Return of the Jedi isn't a full conclusion so much as a satisfying one, and that's a mistake that a lot of roleplay campaigns make."

What I Love: Solo
"Solo does a great job of showing why Han is who he is instead of just telling us. It shows us what forged Han into who he is."

Rogue One Series: Galen Erso and Bodhi Rook
"That kind of trust - a trust based on what one cannot see - is what all of the characters develop during the movie, and the Ersos show it."

Rogue One Series: Chirruit Imwe and Baze Malbus
"Throughout the movie the tension of who Baze used to be and who Baze is now is visible. And Chirrut's devotion stands in contrast."
