Ewan McGregor Keeps The Dream Of Live-Action Star Wars: Clone Wars Alive
7.10.2024
Star Wars is a mess at the moment. There are unvarnished bright spots like Andor, and then there’s everything else. There’s always a new hope though, and right now that’s seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi get a second season and go full live-action Clone Wars with flashbacks galore. Despite no confirmation...
The Acolyte Episode 3 Review: Star Wars Finds Religion In A Whole New Way
1.7.2024
Just because you can grab an audience with a name like Star Wars doesn’t mean you can keep their attention. With its third episode, The Acolyte introduces a theme so big and so important—religion—that if the show doesn’t take it seriously in the coming episodes, it may lose mine.Read more
The Acolyte Episode Two Review: Exploring The Gray Between Light And Dark
25.6.2024
Full disclosure: While I’m aware of The Acolyte’s interconnectivity to the Star Wars: High Republic comic books, I’ve only read a few issues and don’t follow the back and forth with the intensity of a “serious fan.” I’m watching the show on its own merits, and at least so far, am impressed by...

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...
Upcoming Star Wars Game Has No Game Over, 'Anyone Can Die'
22.9.2023
Since Star Wars Eclipse was first revealed two years ago, we’ve seen and heard little about the next game from Quantic Dream, the developer behind Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human. However, the devs behind the game have revealed that as in the studio’s previous adventures, Eclipse’s storyline...
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...
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 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...

The Star Wars Anakin Skywalker Renaissance Is Here And My Body Is Ready
4.5.2023
If you were a teenage girl in the early aughts, prone to lurking amongst the towering shelves of Hot Topic tchotchkes and flat-ironing your fringe until it was crispier than Darth Vader’s body, then you always understood the Star Wars prequels, and more specifically, Anakin Skywalker.Read more

27.4.2023
Fortnite is adding to its extensive Star Wars collaboration collection with a brand-new (and very sexy) Anakin Skywalker skin. The skin will debut on May 2, just two days before Star Wars Day (which is May the 4th, duh).Read more

Let’s Discuss The Mind-Blowing Ending To Obi-Wan
23.6.2022
So, Obi-Wan. If nothing else, you can’t deny that it was a TV show, and that after six episodes, it has now ended its run on Disney+, at least for now. Obviously, Kotaku’s biggest Star Wars nerds—Ethan Gach, Ari Notis, and, no surprise here for longtime readers, Zack Zwiezen—had to talk about...
Obi-Wan Kenobi Just Crossed Over With Jedi Fallen Order
2.6.2022
The third and most recent episode of the newest Disney Star Wars show, Obi-Wan Kenobi, featured a pretty big and wild appearance by a classic character. That moment probably distracted a lot of folks from a less big, but also cool reference to the Respawn-developed video game, Star Wars Jedi:...
17 Years Later I’m Still Thinking About The Cursed, Pregnant Padme In Lego Star Wars
4.5.2022
Kind of long ago, in a galaxy not that far away…The original Lego Star Wars game came to be, and it was great, a wonderful and silly retelling of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy using Legos and kid-friendly gameplay. It was a mostly wholesome adventure. Except for the weirdly cursed “pregnant Padme”...
Lego Star Wars Is Exactly What I Needed After Years Of Toxic Star Wars Fandom
19.4.2022
I’m a long-suffering Star Wars fan. A fan of the movies almost since birth, I have fond memories of the original games, too. But lately, the ongoing discourse around the series has caused my love of it to dim. I even grew a bit bitter about it all. So thank the Maker that Lego Star Wars:...
Lego Star Wars Makes Comboing Younglings A Real Strategy
6.4.2022
The Jedi Code says one must not “seek adventure and excitement” and to use the Force for “knowledge and defense, never for attack,” blah blah blah. Someone should’ve told Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga that, because fans have discovered that it lets you get some sick air by comboing Jedi...
