This review contains spoilers. When it comes right down to it, 22 minutes is not a lot of time to tell a story. If you’re splitting said story up into three acts, and you want to, say, show a character having a major change of heart during the second act, you’d have at best ten … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Honorable Ones”
This review contains spoilers. I have never been particularly fond of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. This is something I’ve written about extensively in the past, but now that I’m writing here at Heroic Hollywood, I think it’s important to restate this bit of context. Because, you see, as much as I’m not fond of The Clone Wars, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Homecoming”
NOTE: This review was written for Heroic Hollywood, but due to some unforeseen timing issues they were unable to run it today. Starting next week my Rebels reviews will be posted at Heroic Hollywood. This review contains spoilers Long seasons of TV are a drag. Everyone recognizes this on some level; it’s why premium cable shows are only ten … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Call”
This review contains spoilers One of my major beefs with Star Wars: The Clone Wars was the way in which that series espoused a bizarre pro-war sentiment. For any of their flaws, it’s clear that the Star Wars prequels are about the failures of politics and organized religion – the entire point of which being that by … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Legends of the Lasat”
I apologize for the delay in posting this review. It seems Disney has decided to split this season into two separate volumes on Amazon, iTunes, etc. and seeing as I’m not inclined to buy this season at full price twice in a row, I reached out to Disney. They have since reduced the price of both Vol. 2 and … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Protector of Concord Dawn”
This review contains spoilers. One of the most common complaints levied by fans against the first season of Star Wars Rebels was that it was too limited in scope, specifically in that it was set almost entirely on or around the planet of Lothal. This was never something that bothered me, and to be honest, I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “A Princess on Lothal”
Looking back through my reviews for the first half of this season, I realize now how many of them began with remarkably similar paragraphs. This was by no means a conscious choice on my part (and if I had realized I was doing this, I would have at least attempted to be more clever about it), but seven … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Mid-Second Season Trailer
This review contains spoilers. This has been a rough season for Star Wars Rebels. After the Season Two opener “The Siege of Lothal” set an impossibly high bar by being perhaps the third best Star Wars story ever, the show has been fumbling week after week with lackluster one-off episodes featuring uninspired and unearned character … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Legacy”
This review contains spoilers. I’m seriously considering giving up on these weekly Star Wars Rebels reviews. I know it’s bad form of me to spend a portion of what should be a critical analysis whining about the process of writing it, but once again we have another episode of Star Wars Rebels that has the … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Future of the Force”
This review contains spoilers. I’ve been trying to figure out what is going on with Rebels this season. While the show hasn’t been exactly bad (except for that one episode) this season has had a noticeable step backwards in quality following the previous season. I’m not sure if there’s just extra padding because they got … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Stealth Strike”
