Hiatus Talk
This is the end of the first season of King of Video Games (and you) on Blogspot. Just kidding. I must take a break from blog, it ends me. I need to make content that is informed, prepared, and edited. This is just a talk that is not that sort of thing. I will return. Most likely starting March 2018 with a few until the summer which is the biggest area of blogs. Just to have prepared and edited blogs. Different kinds will come out as well, I am looking into prospects such as TV reviews, History, and politics. The half year of the blog has been fun. I think it can improve. I'll try to "rebrand" with a logo or something we'll se how that turns out. There will be video game reviews that is my main thing here as well as Star Wars which is why my last real post is the last jedi impression. There was to be a christmas special, it never came to be, the idea must go on though and it will happen. That and many other blogs will be posts that are not the same as other blogs.! I remain the king. Also I will be happy blog review copies of games or any other material. Just comment below. Really everyone should comment their thoughts and I will consider for the later blog. Thanks, stay connected.

Last Jedi Impression

Last Jedi Impression
(I saw the last jedi a long time a go I will blog now, I blog when I want, I own this blog.) (There is also no spoilers in this blog.)

The Last Jedi is in my opinion a great motion picture. I really enjoyed it. It brought a lot to the world of star wars and had interesting new force abilities. I would rank it as my third favorite star wars film. There were some epic moments. I really want to learn about more of the lore. The characters were great, one of the best was the supreme leader, can't wait to see him in IX. There is talk of oscar nominations for Daisy Ridley and Mark Hammil as Rey & Luke. I agree and think Adam Driver should also be considered for Kylo Ren. The film is very divisive amongst fans, I don't get the hate and suspect it might be trolling. There was a bit of cringe and one moment that disappointed me. Other than that it was great. Also Canto Bight, I read and reviewed the book, so what did I think of it in the film. Many say that it was one of the worst parts, it's really not in the films that much but the book really enriched it for me and spotting the cameos of the characters was good. The point of the books is to zoom in on small things so I didn't mind it's brief appearance in the film. I enjoyed DJ, a new character at Canto Bight I would like to see him in episode IX. The porgs are not too bad, they aren't in the movie that much and have funny moments with Chewie. Andy Serkis is really good as snoke similar to his planet of the apes cg appearances he rocks it in his role. The movie rocks the name of Star Wars by being a continuous epic war. The battle of Crait is awesome. It goes without saying for every Star Wars movie the music was great. This is an epic blog, the last jedi is an epic film. Thanks for reading my compliment track. 11/10 Stay Connected

Star Wars Canto Bight book review

Star Wars Canto Bight book review
Canto Bight is a star wars collection of 4 novella miniature short story books that takes place before the force awakens. The book however ties into The Last Jedi, with Canto Bight being a location that will be visited in the film. I would like to thank Del Rey for a digital copy of the book to read and review.
I'm going to go through each of the stories, give a small summary and my thoughts and review and overall at the end.

Rules of the Game- Saladin Ahmed;
Kedpin Shoklop is a over hundred  year old non human salesman that comes to Canto Bight on a won vacation from his company. He is very excited at first, but as a new visitor and tourist he gets scammed quickly. He realizes he is part of an assassination attempt and everything goes wacky. Read the book to find out more. I really liked this story. It showed a lot of Canto Bight and the whole world of Cantonica. An aspect mentioned often is fathier races which is races of centaur like horse creatures that are gambled upon similar to podracing in Canto Bight. The characters are nice and they are mostly nonhumans which is different even for most star wars novels. There are callouts to a small green fellow that was in the Star Wars films, very much appreciated by me. If I must identify something wrong with the story, it isn't the best Star wars literature I've ever read, but I didn't expect that because I really just wanted an early read about Canto Bight before the last jedi. It is also noteworthy that this story gives reference to the next in a manner that shows they both take place at the exact same time. Which I find great that the authors communicated and connected the novellas.

The Wine in Dreams- Mira Grant;
Derla Pidys is a sommelier, wine seller working on Canto Bight with the Grammus sisters, Thrawn like identical twins that manipulate the whole situation into a star wars worthy wacky masterpiece. Read the book to find out more. I found it to be quite fascinating and bold to have the whole story about wine selling. That made it a little more chill, but that doesn't mean anything because this is Star Wars and it is all wacky. This story at it's height quite reminded me of Mos Eisley and the bar, Ubialla's is an awesome location that should be included in a movie. One complaint is that the story is somewhat too descriptive and drags on about one place, item, or topic but that wasn't very bad. Anyways how could the story be bad when it mentions the Yuzzum of Endor making wine with the Ewoks.

See Nothing, Hear Nothing, Say Nothing- By Rae Carson;
This story was about a masseur on Canto Bight whose daughter was kidnapped by Big Sturgg Gana and has to go wacky to get her back.
I thought that the story really was most interesting, with canon aspects about Canto Bight and Star Wars that were cool. It was shorter than the others so a little less of a story. I will be honest the plot is somewhat generic. That said, it really is enthralling and kept me entertained. I wouldn't expect any less from the best franchise in the galaxy, Star Wars.

The Ride- John Jackson Miller;
From the author of A New Dawn is a story about the main purpose of Canto Bight, gambling. Kal has lots of debts and must pay them off and he meets 3 brothers that are possibly force sensitive that help him with that. This is my favorite story of the bunch. It is also the longest. I really like how everything mattered and came back around as well as huge connections with the other stories and the canon in general. There isn't much more I can say without spoilers, but the book had me going ooooooh.
In all this was a very entertaining collection of stories. All of it took place during one night and showed the details of Canto Bight and Cantonica. There were flaws and the story of the characters is still up in the air, but it showed Canto Bight and is the most epic way to prepare for the last jedi. I would rate it a 9.3/10. Thanks for reading my blog and stat connected.
(As a side note the official star wars wiki confirms that all of the main characters of Canto Bight will be in the last jedi in some capacity. :)
