‘Andor’ episode 7 is a masterful demonstration of consequences
By Ben Konuch
“As long as everyone thinks I’m an irritation, there’s a good chance they’ll miss what I’m really doing.”
With audiences still reeling from an explosive sixth episode, “Andor” demonstrates that the galaxy is reeling also. Episode seven is a masterful demonstration of how something seemingly as small as an isolated theft of Imperial funds at this point in history isn’t just a theft, but a statement. Just like the clanging alarms on Ferrix in Episode three, ...
Is ‘Midnights’ Taylor Swift’s Best Work Yet?
By Caroline Stanton
As a new Taylor Swift fan, I’ll admit that I didn’t know what to expect with the release of “Midnights.” I didn’t grow up a die-hard Swiftie, but as I have gotten older, wiser, and more learned of the ways of the world I can see that her wisdom rivals that of Socrates, her writing rivals Hemingway and she’s scarily relatable. I am pleased to say that she lived up to all my expectations.
To be completely transparent, I was underwhelmed by my first ...
“Only A Monster” is a supernatural romance riddled with ethical dilemmas
By Sophia Monastra
I’m the last person to give love advice, but generally speaking, if a guy kills your family, kills several other people, threatens to kill you if you time travel with mystic powers you only just learned you have, and has this prophecy that he’s destined to wipe out your entire race, this might be a red flag for your relationship.
To be fair, Joan didn’t know that her boyfriend Nick is the Hero, a mythical figure destined to end the line of monsters. She also ...
Dave Filoni once again exceeds all expectations with ‘Tales of the Jedi’
By Chris Karenbauer
I have waited a long time for “Tales of the Jedi” to drop, and let’s just say Dave Filoni has been exceeding my expectations since “The Clone Wars. “Tales of the Jedi” has six 15-minute episodes, and although I wish Filoni gave us more, it’s so well made that we don’t need more.
“Tales of the Jedi” follows two main characters: Count Dooku and Ahsoka Tano. But I think the most interesting arc is Count Dooku. Yes, Ahsoka is a great character, and I ...
Will Neom City live up to its expectations?
By Esther Fulz
Innovative ideas have long captured the attention of individuals and organizations across the globe. Neom City, currently being built in Saudi Arabia in preparation for the 2029 Asian Winter Games, is no exception. The linear city will be over 175 km long and just 200 meters wide, and house the Gulf’s first outdoor ski resort and a man made freshwater lake. It’s planned to be powered with renewable energy.
Despite the novelty and excitement surrounding the idea ...

Cedarville Women’s Soccer Loses G-MAC Championship Rematch vs. Ashland
By: Maggie Fipps
2-1
Just two numbers.
November 13, 2022.
Just one date.
These simple numbers have been bulletin board material for the Cedarville women’s soccer team since the last GMAC Championship. In this rematch, they repeated their failures, losing to Ashland University 1-0.
Teams have hopes and expectations, and of course, every coach would give you the cliché answer: “We only play to win.”
But this team has played to its full potential, not losing a game ...

‘Till’ tells the gut-wrenching story of Emmett Till and his courageous mother
By Anna Harman
This story was extremely difficult to translate to the big screen. Director and co-writer Chinonye Chukwu was very careful in telling the horrific, indubitable truth of the crimes committed against Emmett Till. “Till” portrayed the true story of 14-year-old Emmett Till (Jalyn Hall) who was brutally murdered by white supremacists in Mississippi. The director didn’t stop at telling Emmett’s story, he also told the story of Mamie Till (Danielle Deadwyler), who became an ...
Women’s Soccer Team’s Offensive Onslaught Sends Yellow Jackets to Conference Final
They say defense wins championships, but an explosive offense worked just fine for Cedarville.
The Lady Jackets’ defense has played historically well this year, and the conference semi-final was no exception. But the real action took place at the other end of the field. The Yellow Jacket attack scored six goals against the Findlay defense.
Six different Cedarville players combined to produce the avalanche of goals: Megan McClish, Aleah Martone, Audrey Nelson, Payton Fraley, Taylor ...
