  • ‘Rise of Skywalker’ Review: Star Wars Finale Suffers From A Great Disturbance In The Force

  • ‘The Mandalorian’ Episode 5 Review: Star Wars Is Dewback, Baby!

    There are so many beautiful scenes that will tug on your nostalgic strings in the fifth episode of The Mandalorian, it would almost be considered gratuitous if it wasn’t done so organically well.

  • ‘The Mandalorian’ Is Strikingly Similar To ‘Goblin Slayer’
