    The Bad Batch Season 2 Ignites a Spark of Hope

    It might be a fool’s hope, but The Bad Batch Season 2 potentializes a grand payoff in an otherwise dull show. Echo, Wrecker, Tech, Hunter (all voiced masterfully by Dee Bradley Baker), and Omega (Michelle Ang) are off on episodic adventures once more.

    Andor: Star Wars Grows Up

    Now until the end of day, the sentiment remains from George Lucas that Star Wars is made for twelve-year-olds. As time moves forward, however, those twelve-year-olds become adults.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi Restores Star Wars’ Strength but Its Weakness Still Remains

    How The Bad Batch Illustrates Disney’s Mishandling of Star Wars

    After countless rescue missions, The Bad Batch can’t save Disney from their redundant writing. Adding another mantlepiece to Star Wars’ wall of disappointment, The Bad Batch is precisely why causal fans can’t get into the cartoon shows. The similarities in The Bad Batch’s writing to Rebels, The Mandalorian, and the sequel trilogy are even worse than the bulk of […] More

    We are living on the cusp of a new ‘golden age’ of Star Trek, at least when it comes to the profligacy of content from the Viacom/Paramount owned franchise, but the promise by executives of Star Trek on the air all year round comes with both caveats positive and, unfortunately, negative.
