If ever there was a successor to the throne that the Twilight movies had left vacant in the young adult section of cinema, it has to be The Hunger Games. Two films in, and that franchise is securely positioned to be a stable tentpole movie. But the saga is halfway done now, as the third and final book is getting …
A hero is defined by his villain, and the protagonists of Star Wars aren’t exactly short of dark side opponents. From Darth Maul to the Emperor himself, there’s an entire dark side of villains who have fought the Jedi and their allies. In Star Wars Rebels, the newest menace is none other than the Inquisitor, a dark side hunter who …
I’m starting to get rather excited for Star Wars Rebels. With The Clone Wars series having ended on a high note, it’s time to move on, and face the fact that the Empire is in control. Star Wars Rebels is the series that will bridge the events of Revenge Of The Sith with A New Hope, with a new ragtag …
If there’s one thing that was missing from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it was a villain who could rival Darth Vader in terms of presence, power and intimidation.

From Anakin Skywalker being a dangerous maverick, through to his padawan Ah’Soka growing and maturing during the course of the show, the galaxy that was far, far away was filled with memorable characters. Star Wars Rebels is …
When it comes to Star Wars characters, I’ve always dug the real rebels. Not the Luke Skywalkers or the Yodas of that franchise, but the guys who did things their own way, no matter which side they were on. Guys like Han Solo, Boba Fett and Mara Jade. And in the new Star Wars animated series, it’s take a rebel …
As much as I’m looking forward to a new Star Wars movie, it’s the new animated TV series that really has my attention. Star Wars Rebels is pretty much the spiritual successor to the superb Clone Wars series that ran for five seasons, and sees the formation of the Rebel Alliance. But it won’t just be sticking to TV, as …
A good loot box never feels like a coupon. It feels like a moment. …
