Mandalorian Musings: Chapter 15 (S2, E7) Reaction
Bill Burrilliant Following last night’s Disney Investor Call, in which hundreds of thousands of Star Wars fans sat at the back of the metaphorical boardroom, losing their minds over a news dump that laid out the roadmap for the future of the franchise, there was a risk that this week’s new episode of The Mandalorian…

Temura Morrison, stand-up special, when? “The Tragedy” – ominous title card to see at the start of the latest chapter of The Mandalorian. But what did it mean? While us fans were thrilled by last week’s Ahsoka appearance, it was a largely telegraphed treat. Bo-Katan had set us en route to the former Jedi, Dave…

You’ve Grogu be kidding me… What a day to be a Star Wars fan. The Mandalorian’s second season is the gift that keeps on giving for canon-junkies who crave every morsel of the cartoons, comics and books.

Mandalorian Musings: Chapter 12 (S2, E4) Reaction
Mythrollicking Action Adventure The Mandalorian could justifiably be accused of serving ‘filler’ episodes in season one, with weeks in which we totally diverged from the central story arc in favour of an unrelated side-quest.

Halloween ’83 Boba Fett Costume Champion The term “fan service” is so often used as a slander in pop culture. Too much heavy handed, narratively meagre, fan service is usually damaging to a film or TV show. However, with obviously passionate Star Wars fans at the helm of The Mandalorian, fan service is undoubtedly well…
The (Helmeted) Face of Star Wars
The Mandalorian season two preview, I guess… The cantina was uncharacteristically quiet. It had been for a while now. Sure, patrons still walked through the doors and occasional merriment would spring up to echoes of the past and a walk down memory lane. Even the dissident groups of punters, known for flipping tables and throwing…
The Clone Wars finale reaction
Essential Star Wars May 4th – a suitable day to mark the release of the final episode in the final season of The Clone Wars – a show for which, for the longest time, we didn’t think we would ever see the true conclusion. Thanks to the internet, Disney+, and a tailwind of fan power,…
