Sometimes, fandom can morph into a certain type of gatekeeping that insists one must be a completist in order to be a true fan, a real OG of the genre. In this case, it's okay to not bother with made-for-TV movies Star Wars Holiday Special, Ewok Adventure, andEwoks: The Battle for Endor. They also cannot fairly be compared to the big-budget, big-sc...
It was an impossible task to end the Skywalker saga without Carrie Fisher's Leia, but the void her death created can't be blamed for this misbegotten mess. What Rise of Skywalker made clear is the creative team never really knew what the sequel trilogy was about, and while Last Jedi made some bold feints in a new direction, Lucasfilm lost its nerve...
Hating Phantom Menace has been an internet pastime for a generation now. Of course, this means there's a conventional revisionist pose, popular among twentysomethings and post-ironists: No, oldsters, you're wrong, Episode I is a good (if flawed) launchpad for the second trilogy! In fairness, the whole prequel era has gotten much better with age, bu...
It's impossible to watch the forgettable Solo without wondering what might have been. Han Solo's (Alden Ehrenreich) much-hyped origin story was muddled by behind-the-scenes drama, with Ron Howard stepping in after original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller departed the project. The result is a perplexing and wholly unnecessary slog, unable to de...
We acknowledge that this Clone Warsmovie is not great, to put it kindly, but we are grading on a bit of a curve because it led to the excellent Clone Wars animated series. It's very much made for kids, but, even by that standard, its story about the kidnapping of Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta as part of a Palpatine plot is rather silly. But the film d...
For an intergalactic space opera, Star Wars can sometimes feel a little claustrophobic, so the amount of time Rogue One spends on giant honking space battles feels refreshingly like a callback to ROTJ. This first Star Wars Story anthology film includes a ticking clock and attempts to break through a shield on multiple fronts, and few things are as ...
Attack of the Cloneshas long taken criticism for its horrible romantic dialogue ("I hate sand"), though emotionally stunted messianic figures who are tortured by visions of their mother and belong to an order which forbids outside attachments tend not to make for great dates. As such, it's unsurprising that the basis of Padmé and Anakin's relations...
Audiences greeted J.J. Abrams' sequel like a full-fledged religious revival in 2015, celebrating the cast of heroic newcomers and reveling in the return of old faces/X-wings. Time and trilogy storytelling have not been kind to Force Awakens, and the all-too-obvious striving to Make Star Wars Great Again reflects a painful lack of new ideas: Another...
Whatever the flaws of the prequel trilogy, Lucas always knew what story he was telling, and the last 45 minutes of Revenge of the Sithmake it clear. The fall of Anakin Skywalker comes to a devastating conclusion on the lava fields of Mustafar as the fallen Jedi Force chokes his pregnant wife, Padmé, and battles his former master Obi-Wan in one of t...
Originally broadcast as short "minisodes" on Cartoon Network, this prequel-bridging animated spin-off now lives on Disney+ as Star Wars Vintage: Clone Wars 2D Micro-Series — Volume 1 and Volume 2. It's an ugly title for a gorgeous visual feast. Director Genndy Tartakovsky came to Lucasfilm fresh off his classic genre mash Samurai Jack, and his take...
