‘Lord of the Rings’ Fans Realize The True Power of Tolkien’s Stories

We all know the story of how The Lord of the Rings came to be. J.R.R. Tolkien was correcting his students’ papers one day when all of a sudden, he stopped to scribble something on the edge of a sheet; “In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit.” That little muse, combined with the author’s old passion for creating a mythological set piece to serve as a backdrop for his invented languages, ultimately gave way to Middle-earth, and all the stories found therein. Stories that have influenced and inspired tens of…

‘Star Wars’ Fans Realize The Sequels Don’t Make Sense

via Lucasfilm As hard as it may be to believe, there are actually some Star Wars fans who, despite all the hidden and meta brilliance of the sequel trilogy that has gone over all our heads, don’t think the saga makes a whole lot of a sense from a chronological standpoint. All jokes aside, Disney’s sequels have been bashed for everything you could possibly conceive of, with many veterans going so far as to suggest that they shouldn’t be considered canon. But while most of these issues stem from narrative…
