So, it looks like the prayers have been answered and we're going to (possibly) be getting the Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie. With Director Stephen Daldry in very early talks about directing the film, we are left with a single burning question on our lips. "What's going to happen in the movie?"

Well, I have absolutely no connections to Hollywood, so I can't say. But I can find myself pondering a lot about movie. Above all, "What story is going to be told? Is there a story to even be told?"

Well, the obvious answer is a story sometime in between episodes III and IV, with Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the Jedi Master. I however see a potential problem with this. Story wise and canonically. Obi-Wan spent that time on Tatooine, a desert planet looking after Luke Skywalker before Episode IV occurred. That's a time period of roughly 19 years or so. With this in mind, there is very little wiggle room. That's not to say there isn't a story to be told, but I just don't think it's going to be the one what everyone expects. There isn't going to be a massive lightsaber duel or the galaxy isn't going to be jeopardy at all.

But rather, I think it's going to more smaller scale story line, likely very character driven. A possible story line being Obi-Wan's journey across Tatooine to save Luke from something. With this in mind, I heavily doubt we'll even see a lightsaber appear, given how the character wants to keep such a low profile to protect Luke.

Now, what I've described isn't exactly what we'd expect from a Star Wars film. What the franchise has built itself upon is massive space battles with countless lives in danger. If the Obi-Wan movie goes the route with Ewan McGregor and taking place in between episodes III and IV, it's going to be a very different star wars film. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's probably going to be very refreshing and unique if it's handled correctly.

But still, this is all pure speculation. The director is simply in talks, and nothing has been finalized just yet. But the overall reaction from the internet is clear. We want this movie to happen, Ewan McGregor is open to returning to the character. And if the movie comes out? I'll be among the first to get tickets. But, people just have to realize this is probably going to be a very different Star Wars movie. And that's a probably a good thing.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
