“Cornered” Feels Too Close To It’s “Star Wars” Past

“Cornered” can be taken in a couple of different ways. “The Bad Batch” already feels a bit like “The Mandalorian,” and this episode pushes the needle even further in that direction by introducing a familiar face. Of you can ignore the similarities between the two, “Cornered” is a fun bump into an “old friend.” I […]

Crosshair meets the “Replacements” for his missing squad members in the most exciting part of this episode of “The Bad Batch.” We don’t get to spend very long with them, but an interesting question raised by the new ‘Elite’ squad Tarkin is developing.

“Star Wars: The Bad Batch – Aftermath”

Disney + is continuing to experiment with the idea that you can never have too much “Star Wars”.

“The Tragedy” Is a “Mandalorian” Fans Dream

If you’ve been feeling like “The Mandalorian” is moving too slowly this season, “The Tragedy” ultimately makes up for it. It almost feels as if everything happens in this episode though we haven’t quite hit the conclusion yet. The episode also features the long-anticipated return of a classic Star Wars character. It’s hard to think […]

“The Jedi” Reveals The Way For The Mandalorian

“The Mandalorian” has kept us waiting for details long enough. The show likes to parse things out here and there, but “The Jedi” feels like an information dump compared to previous weeks. Of course, while we learn a lot, it’s only the tip of the iceberg for where the story is heading. Unless everything here […]

“The Siege” Could Have Been Another Chase For “The Mandalorian” Except For It’s Reveal

“The Siege” does something “The Mandalorian” hasn’t done in a while by introducing something new to the show. Those of you who have been eagerly awaiting the return of Moff Gideon need wait no further. The reveal of what the empire has been up to, though, gives the show ties to the “Star Wars” film […]
