As a big Star Wars fan, I always get excited about each new movie, wondering how it will change things for the franchise and how we, the audience, will react. It’s tough to predict which films will be remembered fondly and which won’t, but Rotten Tomatoes does a great job of showing us which Star Wars movies really resonated with people and which ones didn’t quite hit the mark.

It’s just heartbreaking to think about. I always admired the relationship between the late driver and Kyle Busch. It was clear they had a really special connection, and it’s so sad to hear about his passing after a short illness, especially at just 41. His family announced it on May 21st, and it’s a huge loss for all of us fans.

These standout episodes strike a great balance between heartfelt emotion and thrilling action, keeping viewers hooked and eager to see what happens next, even if they aren’t flawless.
I’ve noticed that when anime characters are constantly at odds – scheming, battling, and seemingly fixated on each other – fans often start hoping they’ll become a couple. It’s funny, because so many popular pairings come from wanting to see enemies just… give in and fall in love. Some of those classic rivalries are so charged with romantic energy, you could drop them into almost any other story and they’d instantly be a couple.
