Josh Reviews Star Wars Visions: Season Two!
I quite enjoyed the first season of Star Wars: Visions, and I was happy to see the series return with a second season consisting of nine new animated shorts! Whereas in season one, all nine episodes were created by different Japanese animation studios, here in season two the show expa
Josh’s Thoughts on Star Wars: The Story in Music
This past week I had the pleasure of seeing Star Wars: The Story in Music, performed by the Boston Pops, conducted by Keith Lockhart. John Williams has had a long connection with the Boston Pops; he was their conductor from 1980 to 1983. In the years since, the Pops has often perf
Josh Reviews Ahsoka
The latest live-action Star Wars TV show on Disney+, Ahsoka, is set in the same timeline as The Mandalorian. We’re years after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi, and also still years before the events of The Force Awakens and the sequel trilogy. Ahsoka picks up st
Josh Reviews Tales of the Jedi
Somehow I hadn’t yet written about one of the best new Star Wars stories in recent memory: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi! The series was released last spring. I hope it’s the first of many! This series of six short stories (each about 15 minutes in length) tell two interweaving

After a way-too-long two year hiatus, The Mandalorian returned with an eight-episode third season that I thought was a tremendous amount of fun (even though I admit it didn’t quite deliver everything I’d hoped for). This was an unusual season of television, with lots of tw

The Bad Batch is an animated Star Wars series set in the days immediately following the fall of the Old Republic and the rise of the Empire. It’s a spin-off of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, featuring a group of irregular clones who each are somewhat mutated fr
Josh Reviews Andor Season One
Spoiler-free review of Andor season one: It’s the best Star Wars project produced since Disney purchased Lucasfilm. (In my mind the only two projects that come close are Rogue One, which Tony Gilroy — the show-runner of Andor — had a strong hand in shaping, and the
Josh Reviews Light & Magic
Light & Magic is a spectacular six-episode documentary series on Disney+, tracing the origins and development of Industrial Light and Magic, surely one of the greatest special effects company of all time. I am a sucker for behind-the-scenes documentaries on the making of movies, n
Josh Reviews Star Wars: Visions
Star Wars: Visions is an animated anthology series in which each episode was created by a different Japanese animation studio. The episodes utilize imagery from across the Star Wars universe, but the stories are non-canonical, meaning the Japanese animators and storytellers were fre
