Review: The Mandalorian, Season 3, Eps. 6-8 (Disney+)
Let’s call a spade a spade: this season of Mando was more uneven than my heart rate, and the last three episodes really exemplified a lot of the problems I had with this season as a whole. I put off writing this review because, honestly, I just didn’t find the end of the season…

Review: Andor, Eps. 11 & 12 (Plus Full Season Score)
Who ever thought a prequel to a prequel could be this good? Honestly, the first season of Andor feels like a prequel to a prequel to a prequel, but (shockingly enough) it’s an excellent show on a standalone basis.

Review: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Part 6

Review: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Part 3
This installment wastes little to no time in introducing Vader to the mix. I gotta say, the guy’s morning routine looks rough. And what if he has to piss in the middle of the night? That said, it is pretty metal that he hangs out on the same planet where he got high-grounded and turned…

Review: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Parts 1 & 2
Hello there. A lot of folks have been eagerly anticipating this – hoping that it would have engaging writing, artistic presentation, and respect for the audience. I think it met these expectations, and, in some cases, exceeded them. What I’m saying is that, yes, this article was worth the wait. I don’t like to toot…
