Star Wars: The Disney+ Empire Strikes Again and Again and...

Yes, great episode. Still feel like this show probably could have gone at least one more season but this was a satisfying wrap to the season and the coda was a nice touch to give it a bit more finality, for at least some of the characters.

Ned, my kids were also convinced that there was going to be a Tech reveal, and I’m so glad there wasn’t. It would have nullified how well done season 2 was. I’m glad they allowed that plot to stand.

I really think it's remarkable that of the four major animated series under Filoni's care, three of them are top-notch fantastic both as entertaining TV and building up the universe. (Resistance absolutely has its moments but felt more like a random obligation for the sequel trilogy.) Much as I appreciate him doing more on the live action side too, I absolutely hope there's more to come from him and the wider animation team; he pretty clearly is the major creative voice post-Lucas.

Happy Star Wars day!

The first recorded reference of the phrase being used was on May 4, 1979, the day after Margaret Thatcher was elected as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Her political party, the Conservatives, placed a congratulatory advertisement in the Evening News saying "May the Fourth Be with You, Maggie. Congratulations."

Tales From the Empire was a nice little fillip -- especially liked the arc of Barriss Offee given her path in Clone Wars, it was a good way to show where it all led; the Elspeth arc had its good points too and I did like how it touched on everything from Mandalorian to Ahsoka to even a little bit of Andor, in its own way.

Meantime…well then:
