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 Six: Far, Far Away Review
After last week’s adventure into the past of Ahsoka herself, this week the series provided the character (and Rosario Dawson) a bit of a respite as the bulk of the story moved on to Peridea and the arrival of Grand Admiral Thrawn to the world of live action Star Wars (portrayed here, as in animated […]
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 […]
Ahsoka – Part One: Master and Apprentice/Part Two: Toil and Trouble Review
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 […]

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 23: The Spies
Well, I guess we all knew it was too good to be true. Just when it looked like the Mandalorians would be able to band together, putting aside their differences and uniting to return to Mandalore once more, Moff Gideon had to arrive and spoil the party. And with his return, a number of lingering […]
