Season One of Star Wars Rebels has come to an end, and all things considered, they had a pretty great first season. I certainly wasn’t expecting to completely fall in love with a new Star Wars cartoon, especially not to the point that it would actually compel me to go back and sit through the mostly … Continue reading Wild Speculation for STAR WARS REBELS Season Two
Note: This review contains SPOILERS So that’s it, Season One of Star Wars Rebels has come to a close, and all things considered they had a pretty spectacular first season. Sure, there were some growing pains, and one legitimately bad episode, but all shows go through that; what’s impressive, though, is how well Rebels sailed … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Fire Across the Galaxy”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS We’re one episode away from the Star Wars Rebels first season finale, and before we (presumably) send the season out with a bang we have to take care of a little bit of house keeping. In terms of its core story, this week’s episode is a little bit weak, but … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Rebel Resolve”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS Last week I talked about how Star Wars Rebels finally felt as if it found itself – settling into a groove without big, attention grabbing gimmicks and just telling a story based on the world and characters already established. This week, though, they’ve taken that status quo and blown it … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Call to Action”

In Hollywood, having a screenwriting credit often means very little, and a story credit usually credit means even less than that. By … Continue reading Movie Review – STRANGE MAGIC
Note: This review contains SPOILERS We need to talk about Kevin. Kevin Hopps, that is. Before, I’ve given him a pass – twice, actually. After all, “Fighter Flight” was still really early in the season, and we were still sort of figuring out who these characters are in “Out of Darkness.” I can’t, however, give … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Idiot’s Array”
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As I mentioned in my editorial on the series, part of the reason why I watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars – in spite of the fact that most of it was bad – is because I’d heard that there would be more connective tissue between that show, and Star Wars … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Path of the Jedi”
Over the past few months I’ve watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars in its entirety. I’m still not sure why I did this. It started as curiosity – I have been enjoying Lucasfilm Animation’s new series Star Wars Rebels, so I figured I might as well give their previous show a shot, but very quickly this proved … Continue reading I Watched STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS So You Don’t Have To
Note: This review contains SPOILERS As we enter the holiday season, most shows are going on hiatus until January and leaving us with big mid-season finales in an attempt to sustain our interest through the holidays. Star Wars Rebels is no exception, wrapping up the first half of its first season with a two-part episode that … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Gathering Forces”
