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. However, Chapter 12, otherwise known as Carl Weathers’ directorial debut, was anything but ‘filler.’ Sure, at first glace it would be…

Mandalorian Musings: Chapter 10 (S2, E2) Reaction
Running from the nearly-Kryknas Presidential election turmoil is gripping the USA. The world nervously waits for the final votes to be counted, refreshing social media feeds every few seconds while pundits on every station shout at touchscreen maps that haven’t changed in what feels like an eternity. Yeah, nightmare fuel. The second episode of The…
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,…
Mandalorian Musings – S1, E5 (The Gunslinger)
Fun but Filler For all it’s fun set-pieces, call backs and typical dry Mandalorian quips, I wasn’t a huge fan of the general narrative direction of episode five. After last week’s detour to Sorgan failed to move the overall story forward, we’re once again offered another instalment that fails to progress our characters’ journey. It’s…
Did The Rise of Skywalker need to talk cloning?
Palps, why didn’t you tell me? The Rise of Skywalker was a lot of movie. J.J. Abrams and Chris Terrio treated Star Wars fans to a real feast with the finale of the Skywalker saga rich in… well… a big galaxy defining plot and similarly seismic character moments. To do justice to all of the…
The Clone Wars: The Final Season Trailer
Colour me animated I’ve seen it twice now and I’m going to be honest – I really want to watch it again before writing this. I mean, I could, but it wouldn’t exactly be a first reaction style piece then would it. And at the end of the day, I’d be willing to bet a…
First Impressions of The Rise of Skywalker
Non-Spoiler Thoughts Maybe it was spending nine hours in the cinema for the sequel trilogy triple bill, or the fact that it was 3am. Regardless, when the credits rolled after the midnight screening of The Rise of Skywalker, I knew I liked it but the question was to what extent. After all, this was a…
#36 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Trash Compactor A New Hope Star Wars transcends genres. A New Hope is a fantasy film, an action movie, an adventure flick and all the while has it’s moment of horror – well, as much horror as you can get with a universal rating. Yeah, sure, the trash compactor scene isn’t scary from the comfort…
#37 – Top 50 Skywalker Saga Moments
Jedi face Dooku Attack of the Clones I’m going to be honest here folks. I was really torn over which scene to post as my number 37 and in the end, the following 500 words or so are going to be the product of a cop out – I’ve basically clubbed two together as deciding…
