“Back to the Future” and “The Goonies” take place on the same day

October 23, 2020

We’re back with a new one, and this time we’re bringing you a little something about two movies from 1985 that are so loved by my generation. If you were a kid in the 80s, you probably love Back to the Future and The Goonies. But what you probably didn’t know is that they share something in common: they take place on the same day. Both of these films were released in the summer of 1985, and have the same producers, but despite these films being 35 years old, nobody has every pointed this out! As a kid, I watched these movies more times than I can count, but I never noticed this until now.

Why Palpatine’s return was inevitable and predictable, and a horrific theory of how he did it.

January 4, 2020

When this theory first occurred to me, it sent chills down my spine. That’s right Star Wars fans. I’m about to drop a major theory that, if true, would be mega spoiler that would send ripples throughout the entire saga. These ripples have huge implications for movies and TV that we’ve seen, as well as what’s yet to come. It’s about to get ripply, believe it or not. Beware of spoilers. Proceed with caution, and strap yourself in if you do.

That Last Dangling Thread From the Prequels That Could Tie the Saga Together

December 18, 2019

Some people have seen the film at early showings, but I’m still in the group that hasn’t seen it, which gives me a little more time to speculate about Rise of Skywalker. As we approach the release of Rise of Skywalker, I have one last thing on my mind. Its a plot point that was kind of left open in the prequels. It is just my humble opinion, but this one little piece could explain everything that people complained about the sequel trilogy, and serve to explain why it exists in the first place. Spoilers and speculation below. Let’s get to it!

The Latest Theory of Rey’s Parents

August 14, 2018

Rey’s parents were dismissed as “filthy junk traders” in The Last Jedi, reinforcing the idea that the Force is not connected to family lineage. Not everybody needs to be the offspring of an established character. This point about Jedi potential coming from anywhere is well and good, but from certain points of view it leaves a lot of questions about some events of The Force Awakens.  A new theory has surfaced from Film Threat, which takes a different and exciting approach to Rey’s parentage. Let’s break it down.

The I Ching and the Tension in the Force

July 7, 2018

Greetings, Star Wars fans. It’s a pretty slow news time for Star Wars. We have a few pieces coming for next week’s recap, but today I’d like to discuss something more fundamental to Star Wars–The Force. There was a line from Luke in The Last Jedi that we should bring up. Perhaps the best way to learn about the Force is through characters that learn about it in the film, and the symbolism surrounding that.
