Ever since the release of the eighth instalment of the Star Wars Franchise, The Last Jedi has been ridiculed beyond measure on the World Wide Web, not only by the newbie followers but also by the most hard-core, veteran Star War Fans. Although, instead of looking at TLJ from the restricted perspective of a good movie or a bad one, let’s adopt a neutral temperament and analyse the movie a little. ** Warning: Spoilers ahead!** Luke’s Character: – Luke Skywalker’s character arch in TLJ was an eyesore for many viewers and that is quite obvious given that he is probably…

This change is not simply limited to the creative process of this series but it will also have wide-spread effects on the casting of other nerdy and geeky series of the Sci-Fi genre. Maybe we are at such a point of social…

As of now, I would like to bring the reader’s attention to the fact that Stranger Things is an effective analogy for the tech-run world that we currently live in. These are the times when our scientific…

Every Apple product, may it be iPhones, MacBooks, iMacs, iPods, iPads, has always had a fan following of its own. Fans line up in front of the Apple stores, at every new launch, just to make sure that they get to be one amongst the first few to get their hands on the amazing new piece of technology. Just like ‘George Lucas’ and ‘Star Wars’ have independent identities of their own, Apple has always claimed a celebrity status that was separate from that of its CEO, ‘Steve Jobs’. Although, the fact still remains that it was Jobs, who made Apple…
