By Brian Salvatore | Sep 28, 2023 | Television

With just one episode remaining, “Dreams and Madness” really brought the Ahsoka series into sharp focus. The back-half of the season has been excellent, and this episode continues the development of the overarching story of the timeline while honing in on the characters’ specific stories as well.

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 23, 2023 | Television

Welcome to Multiversity’s coverage of “Ahsoka,” the latest live action show from Star Wars and, in many ways, the most complete and substantial jump from animation into live action that Star Wars has ever attempted.
