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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Well, that was an utterly anticlimactic episode of television. In truth, it felt much more like an episode of Law and Order than an episode of The Mandalorian (complete with the guilty party being the most famous actor who appears at a seemingly inconsequential moment in the action). Sure, we got some big named – […]
After last week’s detour to see how Doctor Pershing was acclimating himself to his new life in the New Republic (not great, Bob!), this week returns us fully to the action of the Mandalorian cult as Grogu begins his Mandalorian training and Bo-Katan further enmeshes herself with her new family through orchestrating a successful rescue […]
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 […]
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 […]
If I didn’t know going in that “From the Desert Comes a Stranger,” the sixth episode of The Book of Boba Fett was the series’ penultimate installment, there’s no way you could convince me of that fact simply from watching the episode. Now, if you told me it was the second episode of The Mandalorian, […]
As eagle-eared viewers likely deduced last week, part of Fennec Shand’s plan to fight off the Pyke Syndicate involves getting our friend and their’s Din Djarin (aka Mando) to join team Boba Fett. I mean, when The Mandalorian theme music plays immediately following Fennec mentioning buying muscle, it’s kind of a foregone conclusion. The return […]
