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...

20.8.2024
The Acolyte wasn’t perfect, but it did break new narrative ground in Star Wars, a franchise often haunted by Force ghosts and endlessly recurring characters. Led by Leslye Headland, the Disney+ series dared to reevaluate decades-old tropes, unpack the flaws of the Jedi Order, and play with...
Disney Cancels Star Wars: The Acolyte After Just One Season
20.8.2024

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...
25 Years Later, I Am Now A Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Apologist
20.5.2024
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is historically significant for many reasons: it was the first Star Wars movie in nearly 16 years, the last Star Wars movie shot on film, and a polarizing, pulpy entry in the storied space fantasy franchise. It debuted on May 19, 1999, 25 years ago almost...

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...
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.

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...
