There can be little doubt that Emperor Palpatine is one of the greatest villains in all of cinema. Everything from his hooded robes, his devious voice, to his ability to summon lightning, his debut in Return of the Jedi was one of the most memorable moments in the original trilogy.

After years of hit-or-miss Star Wars content, Andor arrived like a breath of fresh air.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or someone who’s grown tired of lightsabers and legacy cameos, Andor stands out for all the right
Ranking Disney Star Wars Shows: Part 1 The Bad
It’s no rare sight to say that in the past 13 years since Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the Star Wars franchise has fallen into a strange kind of limbo. Despite constant announcements of future films, their endless delays and cancellations have left many fans, myself included, with little confidence in Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy’s management. However, one genuine positive from the Disney era has been the franchise’s expansion into television.

What “Ahsoka” Got Right
Ever since the character of Ahsoka Tano was introduced, fans have wondered what Ahsoka would look like in live-action. Creating live-action characters out of cartoons is a challenge of its own, but the recent “Mando-verse” series of Star Wars shows reveals that it can be done.

“Star Wars: Visions – Volume 2” Episodes Ranked

“Tales of the Galaxy” – A Star Wars Anthology Series [PITCH]
We gather here today to make a simple pitch to Kathleen Kennedy and the general leadership of Disney Star Wars: we want to see more anthology-style stories focusing not just on the force-wielding Jedi, Sith, and Fallen – but rather on the galaxy as a whole. A “Tales of the Galaxy”, if you will.

“The Bad Batch” – Season 2 [REVIEW]
After nearly a year and a half of waiting, the Bad Batch’s journey continues with a second season. The first season for me was somewhat mixed, but I was intrigued about where it would go. Now that The Empire has destroyed Kamino, it’s clear that the clone’s service has come to an end.
