Star Wars Rebels, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi

While Obi-Wan Kenobi has featured one reunion between the Jedi Master and Darth Vader, a Star Wars Rebels line leaves some questions. The line in question comes during the second episode of Star Wars Rebels Season 2. In the season premiere, Vader just learned that Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, was still alive. This leads the Sith Lord to inform his master, Emperor Palpatine, about the discovery. You can read what you want into it…

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part V – The Best Episode Yet

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part V delivers its best episode to date in the penultimate episode and sets up what will likely be an explosive finale. Disney learned from its mistake upon launching the series on May 27. This time around, there is a warning to alert viewers about unsuitable images. I’ll get to it soon but given Star Wars history, I’m sure that you can figure it out. I’ve been staying up for launch of every…

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part III – The Halfway Point

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part III marks the the halfway point of the 6-part limited series in the long-awaited Star Wars prequel series. Please be warned ahead of reading that the following contains light spoilers for the newest episode streaming on Disney+. One quick note before I dive into my review: the racist attacks on Moses Ingram have no place in the Star Wars fandom.  For far too many years, people are using “bad writing” to make…

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Hello There, Old Friend

Ewan McGregor steps back into the saddle–er, into the robe–for the new Lucasfilm limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on Disney+. The following is light on spoilers but as is my custom for a show or movie of this nature, I’m using the artwork to separate the rest of my review. While it’s been 17 years in real life, it’s only been ten years since Revenge of the Sith. There was a time when I didn’t think…

The Book of Boba Fett Finishes Uneven Run

With the launch of The Book of Boba Fett finale, Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor finished the uneven run for the Star Wars series. If you haven’t watched the finale yet, please do not read. If you didn’t watch last week’s episode, please do not read. No, seriously, I mean it. The series as a whole has been uneven with the best episodes coming during the back half of the run. What’s most…

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1 follows everybody’s favorite bounty hunter on Tatooine after he takes over Jabba’s Palace. “Jabba ruled with fear, I intend to rule with respect.” – Boba Fett Here’s what we know about the series: it is set within the timeline of The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. My guess is that it takes place between season 2 and season 3. We know that Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) does not get his Mandalorian…

Secrets of the Force: An Oral History of Star Wars

Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman’s Secrets of the Force: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Wars is a must-own. If Apocalypse Now had turned out differently, Star Wars might never have seen the light of day. What an alternate universe this would be. Instead, Lucas’s idea for a Vietnam war film becomes something completely different. Not being able to acquire the rights to Flash Gordon would also alter his plans. Lucas would…
