With Maul captured and the end of the war seemingly in sight, one could almost be lured into a false sense of security as they go into the third episode of the Siege of Mandalore arc, the appropriately titled “Shattered”. Composer Kevin Kiner’s haunting Blade Runner-esque score may seem soothing on the surface but it has a sinister chill to it that betrays the heartache to come. ... [Continue Reading]

As many of you have probably noticed, especially those of you who follow me on my personal Twitter account, 2019 was a challenging year for me in many respects. Deaths in the family, financial woes, job-related anxiety, and the loss of my beloved cat Juno all took their toll on me, robbing me of the enthusiasm and energy I needed to run this site. That’s why I never got around to writing ... [Continue Reading]

A translation can make – or break – a work of fiction but as long-time Japan resident and amateur Japanologist Dave Hackerson discovered, sometimes it can improve upon an already emotive scene. Dave, who goes by the username @NorskAkiruno on Twitter, has long been interested in the ways that Japanese philosophy can be applied to the Star Wars universe and how that universe has itself ...

I watch a lot of media. It’s true. If I’m not on YouTube watching someone play a video game, I’m on Netflix. If I’m not watching something on Netflix, it’s Hulu. Not on Hulu? I’m searching for something new on Amazon Prime or popping in a movie I’ve seen hundreds of times before. I’ve probably watched Simpsons episodes hundreds of thousands of times. I’ve put myself through two ... [Continue Reading]
I vividly remember the exact moment I knew that the Clone Wars series had been revived. I was at work – adulting sucks – and of course I had Twitter open on my desktop. When you aren’t able to go to San Diego Comic Con, you live vicariously through some of the luckiest nerds ever. Anyway, I was constantly refreshing Bryan Young’s profile to stay updated on the latest from the ... [Continue Reading]

At first, I had to think about what I could do, if I should write something about Ahsoka or Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And then I thought, “Why don’t I make a top five list of something from The Clone Wars… and include Ahsoka ... [Continue Reading]

Here’s a selection of tenth anniversary podcast episodes ... [Continue Reading]
I have a confession to make. Yes, I run a Star Wars blog; yes, my daughter’s middle name is Amidala; and yes, I’ve got enough toy ships and figures to stage an reenactment of the entire saga. But until two and half years ago, I’d never seen The Clone Wars. As if that wasn’t deserving of admonishment enough, I didn’t even know what an Ahsoka was. Let me first say my seven Hail ...
