Favorite Star Wars Movie: Episode VII: The Force Awakens
The Force Awakens was the first Star Wars movie I experienced at a midnight screening, so it will always be special to me. It also gave us the icon that is BB-8.
Favorite Star Wars Character: BB-8
Like I said, BB-8 is iconic and is the unsung hero of the franchise. Get yourself a droid who will carry a secret map across the galaxy, hijack an AT-ST to save your life and still look good in orange.
Why I joined The Direct...
I love keeping up with news about my favorite movies and TV shows and I’m super excited to be able to do that for other fans as a writer for The Direct. It’s an exciting time in the pop culture world right now and I’m looking forward to seeing where Disney takes its franchises beyond just feature films.

Lauren's Thoughts
- I’m not sure about them choosing to kill Kate Kane off. Obviously Ruby Rose has left the show and they need a new lead, but killing the character entirely will change everything about the show including all the supporting characters they spent the whole season building into Kane’s story. It is the Arrowverse though so anything is possible in the multi-verse.
- The directors from the first season of the Mandalorian all brought something unique to their episodes so it's exciting to see who they're bringing on for season 2. Robert Rodriguez is definitely an interesting choice and I can't wait to see if he brings some of his awesome visual style to Star Wars.
