Andor has earned a lot of praise since premiering in 2022, including standout moments in both seasons that have redefined what Star Wars is capable of. But season 2’s third story arc — “Messenger,” “Who Are You?” and “Welcome to the Rebellion” — blows the rest of the show out of the water. In these jaw-dropping,…

If rebellions are built on hope, as Jyn Erso once said, it’s also true that they’re built on sacrifice. The second block of episodes in Andor season 2 — “Ever Been to Ghorman?”, “I Have Friends Everywhere,” and “What a Festive Evening” — showed us what those sacrifices look like and how they test even…

Warning: This review briefly discusses sexual violence. The first story arc of Andor’s second season had an almost unparalleled amount of hype to live up to, given that we’ve been waiting almost two and a half years to see what’s next from the best Star Wars show ever made.

Star Wars Rebels review: "Twilight of the Apprentice"
•

Lucasfilm Every season finale is supposed to be epic. This is a given in serialized television. But “Twilight of the Apprentice” redefined epic in the context of Star Wars. The Rebels season 2 finale brought back and dramatically enhanced the stature of a villain once discarded as a broken tool; delivered on the promise and…

Lucasfilm Given what we know is coming in the highly anticipated finale of Star Wars Rebels Season Two, the penultimate episode of the season was refreshingly unique. Our rebels simply had to deal with a spider infestation at their secret base, and despite Zeb’s amusing jitters, this proved to be a relatively straightforward task. The…

Lucasfilm If C1-10P is the cat to R2-D2’s dog, then “The Forgotten Droid” was about that cat meeting a stray and guiding it home. But what happens when the cat remembers that it’s a loner for a reason? That’s the question I was left with at the end of this episode. Yes, Chopper made a…

Lucasfilm Two of my favorite things about Star Wars are the political conflict and the spiritual conflict. The political conflict was Zeb and Agent Kallus sparring over competing ideologies, with one perhaps convincing the other to reconsider his allegiance. But the deeper conflict, the spiritual one, is a war for the “soul” of the Force…

•
14 min read
Lucasfilm “The Honorable Ones” will be remembered as one of Star Wars Rebels‘s greatest achievements of character development. It took an underexplored but fascinating relationship between two mortal enemies and transformed them, both in each other’s eyes and in the viewers’, by forcing them to work together. Freezing temperatures, a serious injury, and a pair…

Star Wars Rebels review: "Homecoming"
•
12 min read
Lucasfilm “Homecoming” pulled off an incredible feat in the way it introduced Hera’s father, the fanatical Twi’lek freedom fighter Cham Syndulla. On the one hand, Cham threw Hera off-balance and showed us a new side of the Ghost’s confident captain, deepening our understanding of who she was before she was “Captain Syndulla.” On the other…
