This is the way. The spooky way.

Celebrate Life Day with Marvel Comics’ batch of special ‘Star Wars’ variant covers

Wookiee Life Day in the “Star Wars” universe is a family-based festivity that began as a holiday featured on Chewbacca’s forest homeworld of Kashyyyk. Life Day was first introduced in the abysmal “Star Wars Holiday Special” television show that aired on Nov. 17, 1978 and has been relentlessly mocked across our entire galaxy ever since it aired.  Since then, Life Day has gathered a bit of steam in the real world despite its inauspicious beginnings on that cheesy program that those of us of a certain aged were cruelly subjected…

‘Ahsoka’ season 1 episode 8 review: A finale that sticks the landing without flourish

Celebrate ‘Star Wars Rebels’ 10th anniversary with Marvel Comics

It’s difficult to fathom that it’s been nearly a decade since “Star Wars Rebels” first blasted onto Disney XD’s animation lineup with its charismatic, rag-tag crew of the Ghost on Oct. 3, 2014.  Created by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Carrie Beck, the fun “Star Wars” series was set between the events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” and “Star Wars: A New Hope.” “Star Wars Rebels” aired for a total of four seasons encompassing 75 episodes total before it finally ended its popular run in 2018. 2024 will…

‘Ahsoka’ season 1 episode 7 review: Fast-paced action in the vein of Rebels ahead of the big finale

Whether you like the overall direction of the show or not, it’s hard to deny Ahsoka has been a surprising ride with a voice of its own. While the marketing suggested the new Dave Filoni-led series would essentially be a fifth season of Star Wars Rebels (but in live-action), the final result is more of a deeply spiritual expansion of the Star Wars universe’s stranger side alongside nimble adventures, something which culminated completely with last week’s fable-like chapter. Episode 7 is titled ‘Dreams and Madness’ and was directed by Geeta…
