Your home for entertainment
Over the past decade, the entertainment industry has seen drastic changes. There has been the rise of streaming services, a focus on big-budget films based on recognisable intellectual property, and an increase in digital media sales at the cost of physical media. In 2023, the Hollywood business model suffered from the detrimental effects of short-term […]
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, […]
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.

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 […]
A bit of housekeeping before diving into the review of the first two episodes of Ahsoka. While I have seen every live action piece of content in the Star Wars universe – and read a number of the novels that included Grand Admiral Thrawn – I have only seen a handful of Rebels episodes (just […]
