“The best confidence builder is experience.” Steve Melching pens the first episode up this week, Rookies, that first debuted on 24 October, 2008. Commander Cody and Captain Rex (both voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) set the tone, and inspire a cadre of rookie clone troopers when their distant Rishi outpost is on the verge of…
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: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know (2015) – Adam Bray, Kerrie Dougherty, Cole Horton and Michael Kogge
Since my first pack of Topps Star Wars cards, the second series with the red border, I knew I had found something special. A supposition proven correct, when I saw the film later that year when my family moved to CFB Borden. The film changed me, and has been a part of my DNA since…
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…
