After four Clone-heavy episodes, we are back with a second Ahsoka-centered installment in “Deal No Deal.” Let’s dig in. Mistakes are valuable lessons often learned too late. 1.

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 24, 2020 | Television

After four retreads of old story reels, it’s time for a new adventure. And, after a protracted absence since the end of season 5, it’s time for the return of Ahsoka Tano! Why are we wasting time on preamble? “If there is no path before you, create your own.” 1. Set pieces The episode begins […]

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 5, 2018 | Television

Continuing our journey through ‘The Clone Wars Legacy,’ today brings us to the first of two arcs that were released as ‘story reels,’ essentially very rough animation meant to act as a demo of sorts for the episodes.

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 29, 2018 | Reviews
