The Review at the End of the Universe
“ScoobyNatural” Supernatural brings audiences the long awaited crossover with Scooby-Doo allowing Sam and Dean to team up with the Scooby Gang to solve an animated mystery. If any show can get away with an idea as ludicrous as this one it’s Supernatural. Over its very long run this show has become famous for taking ideas…
“Twin Suns” Star Wars Rebels returns to Maul’s vendetta against Obi Wan Kenobi as he heads to Tattooine to confront the source of his hatred. I’ve always thought Maul was an interesting character. He was someone I found interesting in The Phantom Menace and I’m glad he was reintroduced in Clone Wars. Maybe it’s my…
“Double Agent Droid” Star Wars Rebels focuses on the droids as the Empire reprograms Chopper to act against the Rebels and expose their hidden base. On the surface it seems like this episode might be an annoyance given that AP-5 sarcastically complains most of the time and Chopper communicates entirely in unintelligible noises but it’s…
“Legacy of Mandalore” Star Wars Rebels takes us to Mandalore this week to finish off the two-part story of Sabine taking up the Darksaber, promising a lot right from the outset. The Mandalorians are always going to be one of the coolest people in the Star Wars background, which will obviously draw our attention, but…
“Trails of the DarkSaber” Star Wars Rebels returns to the Mandalorian story when Sabine is encouraged to use the recently found Darksaber to unite her people. There has been a considerable amount of time spent on Sabine’s Mandalorian origins but up until now there has been little in the way of personal insight into what…
“Warhead” Star Wars Rebels focuses on Zeb and the droids as an Imperial Infiltrator Droid stumbles onto the Rebel base creating the potential for the base to be discovered by the Empire. This scenario is reminiscent of the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back with even the visual of the droids launching looking quite similar….
“Twilight of the Apprentice” Star Wars Rebels ends the second season in a double length episode that takes the resident Force Sensitive characters to a desolate world seeking knowledge. Ever since Ahsoka was reintroduced at the end of the first season the prospect of her coming into conflict with her former master, Anakin Skywalker aka…
“The Mystery of Chopper Base” Star Wars Rebels gears up for the season finale with one last fun adventure for the Ghost crew before the really dark storytelling begins. Much of this season has reminded the audience that the Rebels need a base to help coordinate their efforts against the Empire. It has taken a…
“The Forgotten Droid” Star Wars Rebels gives Chopper his own episode as he goes out on his own and befriends an Imperial Droid in the process. I don’t have an awful lot to say about this episode as it was largely a chore to sit through. A Chopper centric episode could be an opportunity to…
Season 1 Episode 12 – “Call to Action” No sooner do I say that The Empire are coming across as a bit toothless does Star Wars Rebels prove me wrong with an episode like this. The opening to this episode was great with Grand Moff Tarkin (Stephen Stanton) arriving in a way reminiscent of Darth…
