The Mandalorian and Grogu Are Heading to the Big Screen

The Mandalorian and Grogu are embarking on a new adventure as they transition from the small screen to movie theaters. Directed by Jon Favreau, and produced by Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy and Dave Filoni, this new chapter in the Mandalorian and Grogu’s journey will go into production in 2024. It’s not quite known if the film is in lieu of a season 4. We know that Dave Filoni is planning a film that ties in the post-Return…

Ahsoka: Part 8 – The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord

Ahsoka answers some questions in the season finale but ends on a cliffhanger, which sets up another season or Dave Filoni’s movie. It more or less had to end this way. Obviously, there are questions that I get into below the photo. However, Dave Filoni left some room in there for some very happy surprises for Star Wars Rebels fans. Maybe, maybe not. I guess it depends on having a certain point of view as…

Star Wars Rebels is Key to Ahsoka

Watching Star Wars Rebels has more or less become an important key to understanding Lucasfilm’s Ahsoka on Disney+. Dave Filoni’s previous comments came in an interview with Collider. “I don’t think you would need to watch any [episodes of Rebels]. They’re all available on Disney+, so you can check them out there and that would be great, but… for me, if you really were interested in [Rebels] and if it got people that maybe don’t–aren’t as…

Ahsoka: Part 7 – Dreams and Madness

Ahsoka treks closer towards the end of the season with its penultimate episode showing that Dave Filoni knows what he is doing. Last week saw Ezra Bridger’s (Eman Esfandi) long overdue reunion with Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo). This week more or less started where last week left off. But first, General Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) must answer on Coruscant for her use of New Republic resources. Hera and the Senate have not seen…

Ahsoka: Part 6 – Far, Far Away

Long have Star Wars Rebels fans waited for the sixth episode of Ahsoka to make its Disney+ premiere after years of needing answers. I’ll have a lot more to say about this episode under the photo. But for right now, I can say it is everything that Rebels fans could have wanted. Well, almost everything. Some faces are not in the episode but that’s only because they didn’t serve the story. If you have not…

Ahsoka: Part 5 – Shadow Warrior

Leave it to Dave Filoni to deliver one of the best Ahsoka episodes of the season as Part 5 offers a blast from the past in many ways. The fifth episode answered a lot of burning questions. First and foremost, were we getting Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen). The answer to this question is something that I will get to in a moment. It’s going to be pretty spoilery below the photo so…

Ahsoka: Part 4 – Fallen Jedi

The fourth part of Star Wars: Ahsoka gets audiences closer to the back half of the season with a shocking cliffhanger that speaks for itself. Spoiler warning: Do not read without watching tonight’s episode. With the way that this episode ends, everyone is going to be tuning in next week. If you haven’t started on Ahsoka yet, now is the time to do so. And yes, you’re going to want to watch a certain episode…

Ahsoka: Part III – Time to Fly

The third episode of Ahsoka continues a trend that dates back to The Mandalorian with the series having inconsistent run times. Three episodes into the series and this episode doesn’t even reach 40 minutes in length. Factor in the recap, end titles and credits and the episode barely runs a half hour long, if at all. It’s an unfortunate trend in the franchise at the moment. While the episode features some good action sequences, I…

Disney+ Is Creatively Hurting Marvel, Pixar Per Bob Iger

The dearth of direct-to-consumer content on Disney+ is hurting the company even as Disney holds the #1 position at the box office. Bob Iger appeared on CNBC’s Squawk in the Box this morning and had lots to say following a contract extension through the end of 2026. Only a portion of his 35-minute interview is available on CNBC’s YouTube channel. Some of Iger’s comments dealt WGA and SAG-AFTRA not being realistic in their demands. He’s…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert – CSO at the Movies

David Newman is conducting Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert over the course of three nights at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This was my first time getting to see a film at the CSO, let alone watch the CSO in action. It was a fun experience–anytime I get to watch a Star Wars film on the big screen is always a good time. The last time I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens on…
