17.10.2023
New York Comic Con takes place every year at the massive Jacob Javits Center on the west side of Manhattan, and it never lets me down when it comes to cosplay. I’ve cosplayed there myself, though my look paled in comparison to the most impressive fits and mechanical feats on display at the annual...
Ahsoka Episode 8 Review: Right Where We Need To Be
4.10.2023
The final episode of Ahsoka’s first season presents the blooming flowers from the seeds showrunner Dave Filoni has been planting and cultivating since 2008. Now, whether or not you think that’s a good thing depends entirely on how much you like your Star Wars stories to be an ouroboros...
Ahsoka Episode 7 Review: Very Much A Star Wars Show
27.9.2023
The latest episode of the Ahsoka Disney Plus series felt like it was moving all the important chess pieces around the board. And for good reason—the next episode is its last, so showrunner Dave Filoni had to make sure Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo), and the newly...
Ahsoka Episode 6 Review: The Threads Of Destiny
20.9.2023
If last week’s episode of Ahsoka—which featured lengthy, surreal scenes centered on Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano—was showrunner Dave Filoni catering to both Clone Wars and prequel fans, then the newest episode, “Far, Far Away,” is for Rebels loyalists. But not just Rebels loyalists, as Ahsoka...
Ahsoka Series Episode 5 Review: The Ghost Of Anakin Skywalker
13.9.2023
Ahsoka episode 5 is here, something we—and by “we” I mean Clone Wars fans, Anakin Skywalker apologists, and Star Wars nostalgists—have been awaiting for a very long time. Will Anakin get redemption? Will Ahsoka get closure? Will the live-action version of this thing we’ve seen before crackle with...
Ahsoka Series Episode 4 Review: You’re Exactly The Way I Remember You
6.9.2023
Leave it to Dave Filoni to pull off a Star Wars nostalgia play that has me sobbing on my living room couch after years of nods to other characters that felt more fan-service-y than impactful. With Ahsoka episode four, the unofficial heir to George Lucas’ empire manages to weave together multiple...

Star Wars: Ahsoka Is Quietly Showing That Anyone Can Be A Jedi
30.8.2023
Star Wars: Ahsoka on Disney+ is a TV series that feels like a lot of different things, including a sequel to the animated series Rebels and a new live-action story about masters and apprentices. But what’s quickly becoming my favorite part of the show is its focus on a struggling padawan...
Ahsoka Episode 3 Review: Bizarrely Brief But Promising
30.8.2023
Blink and you’ll miss the third episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka, which sped by so fast as I watched it that I worried my cat had sat on the remote and skipped forward several scenes (again). But the episode, titled “Time to Fly,” really is just over a half-hour long—a stark contrast to the...
So Just Who Is That Masked Inquisitor In Star Wars: Ahsoka?
25.8.2023
Ahsoka, the latest Disney+ Star Wars streaming show, officially kicked off with a two-episode premiere on August 22. While the show introduced a lot of new characters and set up some possible mysteries to unravel, the biggest and most mysterious-est is the identity of the masked Marrok, a...
Ahsoka Episode 2 Review: This Is Where The Fun Begins
24.8.2023
Dave Filoni and the other people behind Ahsoka don’t have it easy. The notion of imbuing a live-action series with dozens of hours’ worth of character development and lore from other shows is daunting—and trying to do all that within the larger Star Wars lexicon, whose fans are unyielding and often...
The Best Star Wars Easter Eggs In The Ahsoka TV Series
23.8.2023
Disney’s new Ahsoka TV series is, essentially, a Star Wars: Rebels sequel, so you’d expect the new live-action show to be jam-packed with references and Easter eggs. While some of these are so obvious they’re not even worth mentioning (characters like Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, and Hera Syndulla...
Ahsoka Episode 1 Review: It Really Is Star Wars: Rebels 2
23.8.2023
You could certainly accuse creators within the Star Wars franchise of needlessly injecting their media with heavy doses of fan service, and Ahsoka series creator Dave Filoni might be the guiltiest of them all. There’s a reason a tweet from April 2023 sharing a fake page from a Filoni script that...

As Star Wars Stagnates, Star Trek Is Flourishing
10.8.2023
Can you imagine Luke Skywalker singing? Probably not. But just recently, Star Trek let Spock, Kirk, and even some Klingons sing and dance. And it didn’t happen in a weird dream or some obscure book for super nerds, but in an episode of the franchise’s current flagship series. Again, can you imagine...
Ashoka’s First Trailer Has Star Wars Fans Arguing Over Lightsaber Colors
11.4.2023
Over the weekend Star Wars Celebration 2023 (an event dedicated to Star Wars news, panels, and more) happened, and while a lot of news came out of the event, the internet can’t stop talking about a relatively minor thing: Orange lightsabers. Are they really orange? What does that mean? Who...
