Josh Reviews Solo!
Solo takes place in the years prior to the original Star Wars, when the galaxy is still under the thumb of the Empire. Young Han and his friend Qi’ra (pronounced like Kira, which makes me think of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) have grown up in the slums of Corellia, scrounging
Josh Reviews the Series Finale of Star Wars Rebels!
It is an incredibly rare thing these days for a popular ongoing story, in whatever medium — but particularly film or TV — to be given the opportunity for a proper ending. This is something I have written about a lot on this site. Generally franchises are either struck do
Josh Reviews Star Wars Rebels: Season Four
Tonight, Star Wars Rebels will draw to a close with the three-part finale. I am super-excited, and I am very much hoping that Dave Filoni and his team can draw this story to a proper close. So far, season four of Star Wars Rebels has been ferociously entertaining, filled with exci
Josh Reviews Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi, written and directed by Rian Johnson, is not at all the film that I expected it to be. It is very different from The Force Awakens, but a satisfying continuation of the story that film began. The film is exciting, suspenseful, and emotional. It is funny
Josh Reviews Star Wars Rebels Season 3
I was dubious about Star Wars Rebels when it first launched. I was still sore over the premature cancellation of The Clone Wars and not that interested in what looked like a very kid-centric new show. But I gave it a try with an open mind, and the early episodes were enough to kee

Star Wars Rebels: Twilight of the Apprentice
The first season of the animated Star Wars Rebels was enjoyable, although more aimed at kids than adults. Things kicked into a high gear with the terrific season one finale, in which both Darth Vader (once again voiced by James Earl Jones) and Ahsoka Tano (Anakin’s apprentice
More Thoughts on Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
Well, my review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has generated a lot of interesting feedback, and as friends have been seeing the film over the last several days I’ve had a number of fascinating conversations, digging deeply into the film. Sometimes I find that if I write a revie
Josh Reviews Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
I don’t remember a time in my life in which I didn’t know about and love Star Wars. I was a little kid when the original films came out, and by the time I really remember it, Star Wars was already a complete thing. Three films: Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and R
