Well, technically Han shot.  Period.  Because Greedo didn’t really have a chance to shoot back. But two different instances this week have solidified what Star Wars fans knew all along.  Questionable morals are part of Han’s roguish charm.

Back in March, I wrote about a European Medieval Beer and Whiskey tasting happening in the DC metro area.  A bunch of readers went and reported back that it was a lot of fun. I’ve since been to the Medieval Wine tastings they do, and it was a great time. …

It took the Machete Order to make the prequel of Star Wars finally fit into the rest of the episodes–well, except for the-episode-we-should-not-speak-of. The Machete Order, for those unfamiliar, involves watching the movies in the following order:  IV, V, II, III, VI.  His argument is that you don’t lose anything from not …
