Ahsoka: Part Five: Shadow Warrior (2023)
Quite possibly the worst episode of Star Wars television.
This episode is horrible, downright horrible. It being rated a 9.1 is mind boggling to me because it's quite literally fanservice with little substance. The lesson between Anakin and Ahsoka makes no sense for several reasons; 1) What Anakin is saying doesn't make sense and is just needlessly vague 2) None of what is happening makes sense for Ashoka's character at this time 3) Nothing really changes due to this 4) Ahsoka even being in the World Between Worlds makes zero sense.
I wish I could say these were all the flaws the episode contained but that would be a lie, 90% of things in the episode make little sense and are just poorly written not to mention the atrocious pacing all throughout it all.
The only two good things I can say about this episode is that it had some cool visuals at times and that Hayden did a good job.
Ahsoka: Part Four: Fallen Jedi (2023)
Best episode of the show but that's not saying much....
Out of every episode of the Ahsoka series this one is definitely the best one, however that isn't really praise when you consider how bad the show is and when your best episode is a 5/10 I think that reflects the poor quality. The only reason this episode is my favourite is because it's the only episode that is able to create some interest and tension and some of the lightsaber fighting is decent. Although like the rest of the show this episode has a lot of problems; there are glaring contrivances, clunky acting and dialogue, stiff action scenes, poorly written characters and a whole host of other issues. The difference here is that all of the issues have some positives surrounding them.
Ahsoka (2023)
I love Rebels which makes this series all the more disappointing...
This show removes practically everything that I loved about Rebels and it's characters and with it being essentially Rebels S5 in all but name it's extremely disappointing. I truly wanted to like maybe even love this show but there is so much about it that just isn't good. The characters are poorly written, the are episodes poorly paced, the dialogue and some of the acting are both bad, the visuals are inconsistent, the action sequences are goofy and at times nonsensical. Overall this show is just a huge let down like many of the other Disney+ Star Wars shows which is unfortunate. I really hope the next SW show is better.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)
Best Mario Game Since Galaxy
I am a huge fan of the Mario franchise and have been for as long as I can remember and Super Mario Galaxy and SMB Galaxy 2 have always been my favourite game(s) in the series. However with the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder puts my favour to the galaxy games into question. Wonder performs a long needed overhaul of the 2D Mario formula presenting to us tons of unique worlds, levels, enemies, challenges, badges, concepts and more. Wonder is a game full of surprises and fun and is a game that will constantly leave you impressed with the constant flow of new things, sure there are some reused aspects but the way those aspects are reused keep everything fresh and fun! The only complaint I have is the lack of unique bosses but since everything else is so unique and interesting I don't mind. Overall Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an excellent platformer that I could recommend to anyone!
Andor: Rix Road (2022)
What Every Finale Should Strive to Be.
This finale is a prime example on how you conclude a season of television, it's able to hit all the right story and emotional beats and is a great climactic send off. This finale has is able to resolve a lot yet also leave a few plot lines open for the future. As an episode there is also so much to love; so many great moments, the strong dialogue and ever present themes. The writers have masterfully executed a climactic convergence of all the different plot lines without convoluting them and making things messy. In the end this is simply a magnificent finale that should be what shows strive for when finishing a season.
