“The winding path to peace is always a worthy one, regardless of how many turns it takes.” Julie Siege, Scott Murphy and Henry Gilroy pen this episode, Dooku Captured, that first aired on 2 January, 2009. Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (James Arnold Taylor) go after Count Dooku (Corey Burton), with an elaborate…

Star Wars: Clone Wars (2008) – Rising Malevolence, Shadow of Malevolence, and Destroy Malevolence
“Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.” Rising Malevolence was written by Steven Melching with additional moments penned by show runner Dave Filoni and debuted on 3 October, 2008. General Grievous (Matthew Wood) has a new cruiser, with a powerful weapon, the Malevolence. In one brutal attack, he wipes out almost all…
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008/2009/2010) – Cat and Mouse, Hidden Enemy, and The Movie
I’ve been trying to find a reason to give the Clone wars, and after I finished War of the Worlds I decided to scratch that itch. However, with this series I will not be watching them in broadcast order, but chronological order, as the first few seasons especially bounced back and forth through the Clone…
Star Wars: Ahsoka (2016) – E.K. Johnston
Back when I first started the blog, I wrote a post about the fate of Ahsoka Tano. Of course, at that time, Ahsoka was only a Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, there was lots for her to encounter and deal with before Clone Wars came to a close, and now, she’s a regular on Rebels – I…
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005) – George Lucas
The Sci-Fi Chronicles brings me to the final entry in the Prequel Trilogy, and arguably the strongest despite some troubling moments. While still suffering from the too clean, too digital, green-screen EVERYTHING, this one feels the closest to a Star Wars movie, and that opening sequence through the space battle over Coruscant is highly…
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) – George Lucas
The Star Wars films continue as I delve further into George Lucas’ films thanks to the Sci-Fi Chronicles. This time it is the second instalment in the Prequel Trilogy. And while a considerable step-up from The Phantom Menace, this one is still too clunky and too digital. Jonathan Hale helps Lucas out on the…
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) – George Lucas
Remember, right back before the Phantom Menace came out, when anticipation was reaching a fever pitch? I miss that. Sure we had the wonderful build up to The Force Awakens, but the gap between films was no where near as long as it had been for those of us who had been invested in…
Star Wars: Dark Disciple (2015) – Christie Golden
The new Star Wars expanded canon universe is well on its way to being very impressive, and it’s book like Golden’s Dark Disciple that are doing it. Based on a set of unproduced scripts from the Clone Wars series, the book explores a pair of interesting characters and expands on their lives, their emotions,…
Star Wars: Tarkin (2014) – James Luceno
More adventures in the newly minted expanded canon universe of Star Wars (I’m still upset over the loss of some of the other EU moments and characters, but can’t change that now…). This time, we’re taking a look at the villains, well a few of them anyway, as we get a look at Wilhuff Tarkin before…
