Small Screen Star Wars

By: Julian Meush Rachel Wilkinson Daniel D'Souza and Jeremy Kozier
  • Summary

  • Star Wars has been a part of small screen history ever since the premiere of the infamous Christmas Special in 1978. Since then, animated classics like ‘Droids’, and ‘Ewoks’, to modern day epics like ‘The Clone Wars’ and ‘Rebels’, have shown that Star Wars is more than just the theatrical films. Disney+ has since brought new life to the franchise with the likes of ‘The Mandalorian’, ‘Obi-Wan: Kenobi’, ‘Andor’ and more. Right now, Star Wars IS the small screen. Julian Meush and Rachel Wilkinson break down, dissect, and review new episodes of Star War every week as they air on Disney+.

  • Bonus Episode - The State of Star Wars
    Sep 11 2024
    Following the cancellation of ‘The Acolyte’, many fans are taking a step back and asking questions about the state of the franchise. And rightly so, considering the confused state that many have been left in. Especially considering that Lucasfilm continues to leave us in the dark, with no official word following the recent cancellation. They've also done very little to inspire trust in their current creative process given the number of high profile project announcements that have never come to fruition. Meanwhile, the fandom is imploding on itself. Creators and influencers in the community are pitted against each other, seemingly in a fight for influence over control of the narrative surrounding each new project. Debates over what is or isn’t "Star Wars" wage on the internet as fans dodge bad-faith landmines across their social feeds. Julian and Rachel look at where things stand with Star Wars today, how we got here, and what the future might hold.

  • The Acolyte Season 1 Finale
    Jul 18 2024
    With the decision to go with another flashback episode last week, ‘The Acolyte’ season finale had a lot of work to do to wrap up all the loose threads left dangling. Unfortunately, the series largely didn’t leave itself enough time to conclude those plotlines in a satisfying way. Yes, the lightsaber combat continues to be amazing, and despite some very good character work in episode 6, the series continues to lack the patience (and runtime) to give the major emotional beats time to breath. The finale was no better, as it blew through some pretty big character moments, especially for Osha, without take a moment to really let them sink in. Despite that, there are still some standout moments here and some intriguing breadcrumbs to follow into a possible season 2 (which has not yet been confirmed). Julian and Rachel unpack every revelation, head-scratcher, and character cameo as they break it all down scene-by-scene.
