In the middle episode of Andor's second story arc, we shift between the various story lines at lightning pace, bouncing between Ferrix, Coruscant, and Aldhani. Some inter-story conflict helps to drive home that point that we're racing towards what is sure to be a dramatic and violent culmination. This episode ratchets up the tension in a highly effective way, and leaves us on the edges of our seats by the end. Let's jump in!

The second story arc in Andor starts off with an intertwining of a half dozen different stories, woven together with excellent writing and exceptional characterizations of both new and known faces. There isn't much action in this episode, but it lays the groundwork for rising tensions and works well as a sort of soft reset for multiple arcs, with Andor moving away from Ferrix, and Luthen and Syril returning to Coruscant, not to mention the heavy focus on the ISB story lines. Let's jump in!

What an incredible climax to the first story arc in Andor! Action packed for a change, but missing none of the stellar dialogue and acting that we've come to expect. Story lines intersect, and everyone comes away from the encounter changed in dramatic ways. Let's jump in!

Episode 2 is here, and with it comes an expertly crafted bridge between the catalyst's of the first episode and the inevitable merging of all of the disparate character's story lines. Syril makes some progress (and a new friend), while Andor starts to really feel the pressure, and we get our first glance of the mysterious buyer who wants to meet him. While there's little in the way of action, the dialogue in this episode really shines, with a host of side characters who all feel like they play a purpose and play it well. Let's jump in!

Well after a long delay we are finally here to talk about Andor, and we could not be more excited! The show's initial episode immediately sets a tone for the series that differentiates it from typical Star Wars live action, with a heavy focus on dialogue driven drama, and it makes us care about a host of characters that for the most part are entirely unfamiliar. Without giving too much away, Andor starts off strong and shapes up to present a worthy prequel to one of our favorite Star Wars movies, Rogue One.

We get to revisit one of our favorite characters, as Dave Filoni walks us through several pivotal moments in the life of Ahsoka. Episode 1 tells a tale of a mother and daughter that we wish had explored that dynamic more deeply, while episode 2 pulls on the heartstrings with an incredible look into Anakin pushing Ahsoka to be the best. Episode 3 retells a familiar tale with some details changed, but for better or worse? Let's dive in!

We jump back into the world of Star Wars animation with the newly release Tales of the Jedi shorts. A fantastic look at a character whose motivations have never been truly explored on screen, Justice, Choices, and the Sith Lord paint a haunting picture of the former Jedi, Count Dooku. Is this Clone Wars Season 7.5? How much does it add to our canon knowledge of the character (or does it contradict it directly)? Can Dave Filoni be trusted with serious, sometimes bleak material (the answer is yes)? Let's dive in!

And finally we reach the conclusion of our trilogy, not just of Revenge of the Sith but of the prequels as a whole! And what a way to go out, with easily the strongest of the prequel movies putting on a clinic in how to end an arc. We have some minor issues with the portrayal of the transformation from Anakin to Vader, mirroring issues we had with the middle third of the movie zipping past information that could have improved understanding of character motivations, but outside of that the finale is fantastic in every aspect. Every actor steps up their game, the cinematography is unmatched, and John Williams takes things up to the next level. We go for stretches of minutes at a time without a single line of dialogue being delivered, and when that dialogue does eventually arrive it's all the more impactful for it. We know it's been a wait to get here, so let's dive in!

We follow up the cinematic masterpiece that is the opening act of Revenge of the Sith with a much more exposition based middle of the movie. The plot moves along, sometimes too quickly for our taste, but we start to see Sidious's plot come together more overtly, much to his and our joy. Some fantastically fun acting from the movie's villain gives us some of Star Wars' most quotable lines, and we get some great character moments from Anakin and Obi-Wan too! Let's dive in!

We've reached the finale of the prequels, and it is a good one! Revenge of the Sith opens with an extended and flawless rescue sequence which showcases many of the best parts of Star Wars: Fun banter, incredible VFX, amazing sound design, fantastic villains, and humor and emotion in measured doses to complement it all! Let's dive in!
