October 16, 2025 | Jared Samuel
There’s the scene in Star Wars Episode IV where the X-Wings are making their first run to try to destroy the Death Star. The Red Leader keeps saying “almost there” as all of the escorts around him are getting picked off by Darth Vader. How is it that I immediately thought of this when I […]
