Andor: Review Episode
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
Three Episodes in and this writer has realized that this show is Star Wars for adults.  This Tony Gilroy helmed show Andor is balls to the wall Star Wars for adults.  There's no sappy love story.  There's no Force. No memes about Sand. The fan service is so Star Wars lite.  Andor, three episodes in is a gritty, dark, desperate conglomeration of dangerous souls.  Remember in The Last Jedi, the message about being the 'spark'? The Andor show itself is the spark.  I'm expecting Cassian Andor to burn everything to the ground.  While The Mandalorian is ..read more

Andors Episode 2 Review
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
As is the trend, many shows are dropping with a couple of episodes as part of the debut. Andor's slowburner first episode is immediately followed up with Episode 2.  This second episode begins to slowly unpeel the layers of the complicated onion that is Cassian Andor. In doing so, showrunner Tony Gilroy's masterly crafted world beings to open up, revealing elements of Star Wars that we know and love.  This episode features, more grime, more dirt. Moar wheeling and dealing.  Andor is starting to face the consequences of killing a man who was on his knees. The Big Bad Corpora ..read more

Who was Luke's sister intended to be in Empire Strikes Back when Yoda said 'No, there is another...'?
In A Far Away Galaxy

Despite making out in Empire Strikes Back, the Return of the Jedi ultimately revealed that Princess Leia was Luke Skywalker's sister.  Given the kiss, it could not have been George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan's intention that Leia and Luke were twins.  Indeed, draft scripts never hinted at this (just the same as early scripts did not feature Lord Vader being Luke's father).  Ideas progress and develop over time and the best film scripts are born of many revisions - so was Yoda's like to Obi-Wan Kenobi that there was another hope a deliberate set up for an idea Lucas has or was ..read more

How did Vader get that scar on his head in Return of the Jedi?
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
Many pundits have wondered since Return of the Jedi, how did Vader get that scar on the top of his head? You know the one on the Sebastian Shaw version of Anakin Skywalker? Je te presente: Fans have long wondered who did this to Vader.   The scars below Vader's left eye? That's known. General Obi-Wan Kenobi was the cause of that - when he had the high ground and left Vader for dead, the lava ignited Anakin and the scars were caused as a result.  Vader clearly suffered disfiguring damage as seen in Revenge of the Sith: And those are the cheek scars seen Vader's Return o ..read more

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Review Episode 6: The Tragedy of Obi-Wan Kenobi
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
Hello there.  Welcome to our review of the final Episode of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.  Please allow us to ruminate before we fanboy over one of the Star Wars franchise's most significant moments in 20 years.  The last three years have seen Star Wars fans treated to two truly delightful seasons of The Mandalorian. That show personally helped wash the 'salty as Crait' taste of The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker from our mouth. Sure both movies featured some excellent moments but each ended with a crash as the Skywalker lineage ended not with a bang, but a whimper.  W ..read more

Review Episode 5 of Obi-Wan Kenobi
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
Review Episode 5 of Obi-Wan Kenobi Spoiler alert.  Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. This is it.  The one that the fans boys and girls have long wanted.  The Return of Anakin Skywalker. Indeed, this episode kicks off with Kenobi and pre-Sith Anakin undertaking a training exercise with light sabers.  This is used as framing to examine the connective tissues between Anakin and Vader as they play a game of cat and cat with Reva, now the Grand Inquisitor, set between them as a somewhat unknowing mouse.  A stronger episode than part 4, it features a Storm Trooper pla ..read more

The 15 coolest bits of TRIVIA from OBI-WAN Kenobi
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
 Star Wars fans love Star Wars trivia.  They lap it up.  More so when the Ob-Wan Kenobi digs in deep with massive amounts of call backs, references and trivia! Here's 15 great pieces of trivia from the Obi-Wan Kenobi show starting Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansen. The communicators Kenobi and Tala use when skulking around the Inquisitor Fortress are the exact model used by Luke Skywalker and C3PO in A New Hope. The tired old Clone trooper veteran that Kenobi gives some credits to was indeed Temeura' Morrison - Morrison of course played the Clones in AOTC and Revenge of the ..read more

Review of Part IV of Obi-Wan Kenobi

Hello there.  After the high action confrontation between our titular hero and Darth Vader in Episode 3, we must now suffer the come down after such a high.  Like the prior shows, it parallels an event that happened in one of the films.  For this episode, it is the rescue of Princess Leia from the Inquisitor's Fortress Inquisitorius base which parallels the princess rescue from the Death Star.  It's also the episode where the writers let loose with their plot holes, cliches and unnecessary moments. Ewan MacGregor continues to nail his character but all around him felt hok ..read more

Episode 3 Review - Obi-Wan Kenobi
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
 “I am what you made me!” After the set ups of Episodes 1 1and 2, the Obi-Wan Kenobi show was very well placed to set up a slow burn build towards the ultimate rematch of Kenobi v. Darth Vader.  Instead we got it in grand Star Wars style! Having arrived on the planet, Obi-Wan seeks to find the contacts he was told would assist him.  A few severed Storm Troopers later (it's a long story featuring some introspection about Kenobi's prior adventures), we meet our contact played by Game of Thrones actress... And then we get it.  Darth Vader.  Hunting down ..read more

Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 2 Review
In A Far Away Galaxy
by
1y ago
Disney dropped Obi-Wan Kenobi with a debut of two episodes.  Our review of Episode One of Old Man Ben is here.  Watched back to back, these two episodes are quite the ride! Where the first episode was a slow burn, reintroduction to all things Kenobi, the second gets into the action right away.  Kenobi manages to find and rescue young princess Leia very quickly, which only serves to suggest there's a 'match up' coming very promptly with the Inquisitors (who have locked the planet down as Kenobi has tripped their trap.) Kenobi wants this ride over fast.  He's anxious ..read more
