EXCLUSIVE: Arkhaven Blog Interview with Star Wars Celebrity; Geode

We are deeply honored to have a Hollywood legend with us today. Geode the Rock. TDH: Geode, thank you for taking time out your very busy schedule for us today. I can’t say how honored we are to have you here.  Let’s get right into it. Your joining Star Wars: The High Republic has been likened to Sir Alec Guinness being cast in the original Star Wars film. You bring that much gravitas to any project you are a part of.  Your career in...

Note for Codex

I forgot to include Speedy Gonzalez in my article on Trickster Heroes. He is being canceled again. Latinx's named Kyle Jimenez are pretty cool with the cancelation. But actual Mexicans are pretty pissed about it because Speedy alway beat the gringo gatos. He is their Bugs Bunny.

New Star Wars Book Features “The Rock”

Apparently the "High Republic," was referring to the writing process. They are doing the good shit at LucasFilm. Claudia Grey is the author who ended the big Zoom marketing push with a Vulcan salute. Which possibly explains where she came up with her brilliant edition to the High Republic; "Geode, the rock." For once I am actually quite curious as to what rock's prefferred pronouns are. This new character is literally a rock. Here is a situation where pictures are worth...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend WandaVision

Arr Maties!  Captain Herald has returned from the high seas to tell ye a tale of…well…basic, acceptable mediocrity. So far that is all that Disney Plus has proven itself capable of providing.  But at least they are still capable of delivering that.  Given how converged the company has become it’s only a matter of time before even this low bar is beyond them. And that is all that Wanda Vision is.  Acceptably mediocre.  The fans came up with much more interesting theories than the show eventually delivered...

Appendix N Heroes: Fafhrd and Gray Mouser

Each discerned something inexplicably familiar in the other. Fafhrd said, “Our motives for being here seem to be identical.”  “Seem? Surely must be!” the Mouser answered curtly, fiercely eyeing this potential new foe, who was taller by a head than the tall thief.  “You said?”  “I said, ‘Seem? Surely must be!’”  “How civilized of you!” Fafhrd commented in pleased tones.  “Civilized?” the Mouser demanded suspiciously, gripping his dirk tighter.  “To care, in the eye of action, exactly what’s said,” Fafrd explained. Without letting the Mouser out...

Rumors: Cara Dune Has Been Recast

Not the character you understand. Expect a few, vague references to Cara Dune's tragic but heroic death. No, the slot she was supposed to fill on Rangers of the New Republic is allegedly being handed to yet another Dave Filoni character. In this case, Hera Syndulla from Star Wars Rebels. I was vaguely familiar with the character and I suppose if Thrawn is going to be the main villain going forward it makes sense for Syndulla to be...

Blogs and Ends: The Absolute State of…

FIRST The Absolute State of Netflix Nothing I can say will make this funnier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NRmXIcYx28 I think this is supposed to be comedy but the fact that there is question mark in my mind says a lot. NEXT The Absolute State of Disney World. This scene from the old Epic Mickey game has became terrifyingly meta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lqeGxNW5uU NEXT The Absolute State of Tom Clancy Amazon is doing Without Remorse. Starring (*long tired sigh*) Micheal B Jordan. After the aforementioned sigh, I decided, okay, that doesn't mean it has to...

The Wokeiest Place on Earth

Going to Disney World was just a dream when I was little kid.   My Dad was very clear on that point. It was just a dream. It was going to stay a dream. A trip to the Happiest Place on Earth was out of the question.  Even if he could scrape to together enough cash for a flight and a big enough hotel room, we couldn’t afford to actually go inside the park once we were in Orlando.  It. Was. Not. Going. To....

RE:View – Stargate

This intellectual property has passed its quarter century mark and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be swept under the pop cultural rug any time soon. One movie, two long running series, a couple of straight to DVD flicks and a single season disaster.  And, oh yes, Stargate Catherine. Since (I can state with perfect conviction that) you never saw it. The plot has something to do with Nazis just before the start of WWII.  The lead for what has always...
