AHSOKA SERIES REVIEW
Rosario Dawson returns to the role she’s been destined to play since her appearances in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano. After the fall of the Galactic Empire, the former Jedi Knight (and easily one of the most beloved characters in the new EU) investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. That threat? The return of none other than Grand Admiral Thrawn (one of the most beloved characters of the original EU). Meanwhile, Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) is ready to risk the safety of the entire foundation of the New Republic in order to rescue her surrogate brother, Ezra Bridger, from his exile. The heroes come face-to-face with two Dark Jedi, Baylan Skoll (the late and extraordinary Ray Stevenson) and Shin Hati, as well as the Night Sisters, arguing politicians, snarky droids, and Force ghosts. And if that’s not enough Star Wars for you, this series has got cameos from characters all across the canon. This is the culmination of Dave Filoni’s 18 years helming most of the Star Wars EU, beginning with The Clone Wars, where Ahsoka made her first appearance. Melina, Neil, and T.C. gather in the One Of Us Jedi Council Chambers to have a spoiler-filled deep-dive discussion of the series and attempt to step into the World Between Worlds to discover how long it’ll take to get a season two.

Melina Eames (Screener Squad)
Melina first discovered that she carried the nerd gene at the tender age of four following her exposure to a little film called A New Hope. In the twenty-some years that followed, Melina continued to grow into her geek identity through the discovery of Batman, Mst3k, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and The Mandalorian. But perhaps her most significant discovery came at the age of fourteen when a night of YouTube mining led her to the review site of Spill.com. Melina became a devoted follower whose fandom did not end with the site’s demise. By then, it had worked its dark magic and left her with a love and appreciation for film criticism that she has yet to shrug.
Neil Anderson (Screener Squad)
I first got hooked on movies when I saw Star Wars at a drive-in theater as a kid. Growing up in a small, rural town meant not having access to a lot of movies. In college, that all changed. I couldn’t get enough. I love it all — flicks, films, movies, and cinema. I still have that wide-eyed wonder of that kid watching movies from the back of a pick-up truck at the drive-in.
