Next year will be a massive one for Star Wars streaming, and it's The Mandalorian and Ahsoka that will figure to be the most significant pillars of that. That's not just because both of them feature fan favorite characters and have already-established audiences, but also because these shows will quite possibly - even very likely [...]
One of the big reveals from Star Wars Celebration this year that seemed to fly under the radar a bit was the confirmation that Hera Syndulla will be appearing in the Ahsoka series, meaning the character will be making her live-action debut. But unlike with Natasha Liu Bordizzo as Sabine Wren, which was officially announced [...]
We're officially into the second half of the season for Willow, and episode 5 slowed things down to focus more on the characters and set up some of the stakes and emotions that have been simmering. The episode included some action, but the big developments came by way of reveals and confessions between the characters [...]
Disney+ has recently been promoting the wealth of content that's coming to the streaming service in 2023, and there's a ton of it. So much so that not everything can fit into a short promo like this one, but Star Wars and Marvel take center stage (as you'd expect). And in the process, we actually [...]
The first season of Andor is done, and it's become abundantly clear that the series has been incredibly well-received. In fact, it's managed to receive critical acclaim unlike much of the franchise before it. Polygon ranked the series as the best TV show of the year. Vulture did as well, placing it #1 on their [...]
Five years ago, on December 15, 2017, the eighth chapter of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga was released, The Last Jedi, to a successful box office run and impressive critical acclaim. Three months before the film's release, in September, Lucasfilm made a director change for Episode IX, the sequel to The Last Jedi, and reportedly [...]
It was recently the fifth anniversary of The Last Jedi's release, and as such I've been writing several pieces reflecting on different aspects of the film. I wrote about why it's treatment of Luke Skywalker was so brilliant, then wrote about why Rose Tico's famous line is such a fitting summary of one of the [...]
At the end of The Last Jedi, Rose Tico does something rather rash: she crashes her speeder into Finn's, saving his life in the process. As he asks her why she did it, she utters these beautiful words: "That's how we're gonna win. Not fighting what we hate, saving what we love." This is an [...]
The treatment of Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi has sparked no shortage of controversy. Some people hate the movie because of it. Others mostly like the movie, except for it. And then there are others, like me, who love the movie in large part because of it. I'm not intending here to re-litigate the [...]
We're halfway through the first season of Willow, as the fourth episode was released today, entitled "The Whispers of Nockmaar." The title is appropriate, and as viewers familiar with the 1988 film will no doubt catch, it takes place around Nockmaar: the fortress of Bavmorda, the evil queen who was defeated by Willow all those [...]
