How to Remake Attack of the Clones Part 14. Conclusion
I grew up watching the Star Wars prequel trilogy and love them to no end. But they are flawed films, so, like others before me, I’ve been working on my own fix. I’ve also become a little obsessed with creating a ‘no-spoiler’ version of the prequels. One that could be watched before the original trilogy…

There should be a Star Wars Movie about the formation of the Old Republic
I’d love to see a movie about the formation of the Republic For years, almost from the moment that Disney bought Star Wars, there has been speculation about an Old Republic movie, set during the ancient wars between the Jedi and the Sith Empire. I’m a big fan of that idea (especially since the main…

The Mandalorian season 2 was the perfect Star Wars epilogue. (Part 2)
This article turned out unintentionally long, so I split it into two parts. Part 1 is available here. In part 1, I discussed the problems that The Mandalorian has had since season 2 ended. I also had a few suggestions about what should have happened in season 3 or in a Mandalorians (plural) successor show.…

Andor Ends On A High Note. Season 2 Final Arc Review (episodes 10-12)
Major Spoilers for Andor Season 2 Phenomenal. Andor has released its last batch of episodes, and it went out on a high. In some ways, the finale arc was cleaning shop. The second season has been primarily focused on the Ghormans. But that story reached its culmination in the previous arc, with the Ghorman massacre.…

Andor Season 2 Arc 3 is Amazing (episodes 7-9)
Major Spoilers for Andor Season 2. Incredible. I could probably end the review there. I won’t. But that is the tldr. The most recent episode block of Andor season 2 is out (episodes 7-9). In previous weeks, I have had a few nitpicking complaints. Nothing major, just small things that didn’t quite work. Not this…

What Went Wrong with The Mandalorian Season 3? (Part 1)
This article was unintentionally long, so I’ve split it into two parts. Spoilers for The Mandalorian The Mandalorian was a course correction for Star Wars after the disappointing Rise of Skywalker. It became something of a cultural phenomenon, and its second season ended on a high note. Hopes were high for season 3, but it…

Star Wars: Andor Season 2 Kicks Off with a Bang.
Spoilers for Season 2 Episodes 1-3 Andor is back! ‘Star Wars for grown-ups,’ as Stellan Skarsgård calls it. Fair play to him, I guess. Andor is probably the best piece of Star Wars media since the Original Trilogy, and season 2 has kicked off with a bang. A New Episode Structure They’ve changed the formula…

The Acolyte Finale
Spoiler Alert for Star Wars: The Acolyte The final episode of The Acolyte was released last week and was the definite high point of the series. My previous critiques of the show do, I think, still stand. It still has some creaky dialogue and awkward plotting. Erasing Mae’s memory, for instance, so that she can’t…

Mad Respect for The Acolyte Episode 5
After The Acolyte episode 5, I have a lot of respect for this show. Spoiler Alert In my previous post about Star Wars: The Acolyte, I essentially said that it was flawed but had potential. I was critical of the sometimes awkward dialogue and generally thought that the plotting/episode structures weren’t great. After another 2…

Star Wars: The Acolyte So Far
It has interesting ideas but the execution could be better. There’s room to grow. Spoilers for episodes 1-3. I feel like we’ve been hearing about The Acolyte for years. I could swear I first heard about it during the Mandalorian season 1. Or around then, anyway. Sure enough, a quick Wikipedia search reveals that work…

The Lost Clone Wars Arcs
The Clone Wars TV show is amazing. It took a little while to find its feet, I admit, but once it did (and often even before it did), incredible! But that’s hardly a new take, everyone knows and says that it’s great… because it is. I can’t emphasise that point enough! There’s also an added…
