One of the top Star Wars highlights of the year was the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which saw Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen return to their roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, and saw them face off twice more. The series was packed with connection to the Skywalker saga, so much so that it [...]
The Bad Batch season 2 is right around the corner, premiering on Disney+ on Wednesday, January 4. The season, much like the first, will feature 16 episodes, meaning that it will run through March. In fact, Star Wars recently released the full list of episode titles and premiere dates for the full season, which is [...]
George Lucas is a brilliant storyteller. That's not a controversial statement, but I want to mention one aspect of that here that I think has often gone overlooked. And it pertains to the way each of the three prequel films end. In his subtle genius, Lucas subverts our natural thoughts and feelings by suggesting there's [...]
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.

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 [...]
