Before I dive into the review, I wanted to offer some kudos to Dave Filoni for that episode title. “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” absolutely made me chuckle. And, as I thought more about it, there were plenty of parallels to be found between this episode of Ahsoka and The Lion, the Witch, […]

Ahsoka – Part Seven: Dreams and Madness Review
There are two ways to structure a penultimate episode of a serialized series.* The first has the series’s climactic moment happen, allowing the characters the chance to breathe a bit and deal with the fallout in the finale. Think the final three episodes of Breaking Bad, where the climax of the series happened in the […]
Ahsoka – Part Five: Shadow Warrior Review
Deus ex Purrgil. That was my immediate thought as soon as Ahsoka returned from Jedi Purgatory (also known as the World Between Worlds, although this felt more like a test of her abilities than a portal through time like in Rebels) – how fortunate for her and the rest of her crew that a pod […]
Ahsoka – Part Four: Fallen Jedi Review
We’re now officially halfway through Ahsoka, and right one time we have the split between our two heroes. Huyang warned you guys to stay together, Ahsoka and Sabine. But no, you split up and now Sabine has given into her desire to see Ezra once more (who is decidedly not the now dead Marrok the […]
Ahsoka – Part Three: Time to Fly Review
After a premiere that did a lot of heavy lifting in terms of setting up the central arc of the series – and re-introducing* our central characters after some time away – the third installment of Ahsoka was more concerned with reinforcing a few key plot points and making sure that our central duo were […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 24: The Return
Is it just me, or did that feel like a fitting conclusion to the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu – not to mention the Mandalorians as a whole – until such time as other stories in the Star Wars universe require them to come out of retirement to help friends take down the latest […]
The Mandalorian – Chapter 17: Apostate Review
Well, that was a rather staid and uneventful season premiere, wasn’t it? Or, at least it was if you had dutifully watched all of The Book of Boba Fett and knew what transpired between little Grogu, Luke Skywalker, Ashoka Tano, and Din Djarin during the three episodes within that series that served as a season […]
Boba Fett – In the Name of Honor Review
I’ve said time and again in my season finale reviews that a good finale doesn’t offer up a million twists and turns – it should take the story to the natural conclusion the preceding episodes have hinted at. And if that’s how one judges a finale, “In the Name of Honor” was a pretty solid […]
