Leonard Nimoy was 83 years old when he died February 27, 2015. He was known for many things, but acting as Spock in the Star Trek movies was his most famous role. Nimoy decided to pursue acting at a rather young age. He was not afraid to put himself out there and he did by starring in many of his school plays. Although his acting career did not take off immediately he eventually was in many films. Some of the shows he starred in were The Twilight Zone, Sea Hunt, and Bonanza. Leonard Nimoy’s…

For years I have been watching the Star Wars movies, never thinking I would actually see one for the first time in theaters. The last Star Wars movie to hit theaters in my life time was Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in 2005, and it was stinker. If you ask anyone who considers themselves a fan of the Star Wars movies, they will tell you the first trilogy was some of the best cinema ever created, and the second trilogy was in comparison just completely awful. In fact a lot of people wish the…

Jediism is vastly different form Christianity. Let's start with the view of God. Christians believe in a triune God who created the world and is still working in it. Jedi believe in a force that connects everything in the universe. The best definition I have seen is in episode 8 of the StarWars movies when Luke explains it to Rey. There is also no mention of creation just the force. Jedi also believe that when we die we become one with the force no matter what you believe or how you lived your…

How Stars Came to be and Their History The radiance of the stars is masked in secrecy. Only those who wish to ponder the vastness of the stars can be enlightened to their true beauty; their ability to create something from nothing is astounding. People revel at the beauty of the stars, generally enjoying a night under the twilight sky. The stars hold so many mysteries that are seldom ever questioned, but how many people ever wonder where the stars come from? How long a star’s lifespan is or why…

The Star Wars Series is a saga of films loved by just about every person in the United States. From middle-aged Sci-Fi nerds to middle school jocks, you’d be hard pressed to find somebody that “just didn’t get the hype.” The first Star Wars film, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, was released in 1977 and the last film of the series (so far), Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, was released in 2005. Though the original movie was a pop culture phenomenon and has changed film forever, the…

Science Fiction is an extremely popular TV genre, with its proof being its long-running longevity through the history of television. There can also noticeably be three forms of science fiction; ‘stories of travel through space (to other worlds, planets, stars), stories of travel through time (into the past or into the future) and stories of imaginary technologies (machinery, robots, computers, cyborgs and cyber culture)’ (VIII, Roberts, Adam. 2006) it is through these three categories that…

I was lucky to grow up in a predominantly screen-free environment. Watching television was a deliberate activity, not a default. I was not reliant upon external stimuli and I rarely experienced boredom or a lack of creativity. Living in the country, I had the space and freedom to explore in nature and to live an active lifestyle. I had the privilege of experiencing childhood and play as it was “in the good ol’ days” before Western culture developed a screen dependency. The benefits of growing…

What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever…
