Well, that was far and away the best episode of this season of The Mandalorian, and it is a tad worrisome that such a strong episode relied very little on any of the Mandalorians (although, there was a nice bookend of scenes that were the strongest outing we’ve had from Mando in a story and […]
Well, it looks like we found the one person who can break through Bo-Katan’s tough, too-cool-for-school exterior: Grogu. Because when that little guy came rushing back to her throne room, all worried for his dad, she was pretty quick to jump into action. She was also pretty quick to pick up that dark saber and […]
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 […]

He is the creator of Star Wars Resistance and Star Wars Rebels, and supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. This series was produced by Lucasfilm Animation, which has headed all Star Wars-related animated […]
Of course Cassian and the inmates on Narkina 5 were helping to build the Death Star. Of course they were. Because, like everything else in this exceptional first season of Andor, each moment – each line of dialogue, each carefully constructed speech, each key character beat – is leading our central characters to their ultimate […]
After last week’s tour de force installment, this week’s Andor pulls the story back a bit, allowing the characters and the series’ game board to reset for one final showdown on Ferrix. And, honestly, I think we all needed this small respite – a chance to catch our breath, take stock of where each character […]
What a spectacular hour of television. From the thrilling prison break to the revelation of a double agent within the midst of the Imperial Security Bureau, this episode really had it all. And that included the chance to see two great actors – Stellan Skarsgård and Andy Serkis – really get the chance to show […]
I’ve complained in the past about Andor feeling more like a film cut into episodic slices, with endings that didn’t push the narrative forward, leaving us with a lack of momentum leading into the week-long wait until the next episode. But “Nobody’s Listening!” absolutely crushed it with its end of episode button and I cannot […]
There are few things I enjoy more than when a series pulls together an episode that allows us to see just how a seemingly disparate group of characters – scattered around a country, planet, galaxy – are all interconnected in ways you wouldn’t have anticipated when the series begin. “Narkina 5” was that episode for […]
After the highs of “The Eye,” it would have been easy for Andor to take a beat, allow its characters to collect themselves, and take a week off before delving into the next great set piece of the series. So, it says a lot about the series that “Announcement” felt almost as tense as the […]
