Star Wars: Ahsoka Slowly Gears Towards Excitement
Editor’s Note: This review of Star Wars: Ahsoka was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

How Star Wars: Visions Brings the Franchise Full Circle
When A New Hope released in 1977, its explosive success shocked studios and even Lucas himself.

Modern Star Trek: New Frontiers, Old Nostalgia
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.
