Obi-Wan‘s (Ewan McGregor) somewhat half-assed rescue attempt continues in both “Part III” and “Part IV” which includes the series providing some stunning visuals and small emotional moments while also throwing in even more of the problematic head-scratching plot issues that can’t be resolved. “Part III” is notable for the reunion between Kenobi and Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) who easily bests his former master in combat. In a theme which which will continue into the next episode, we see Kenobi has pulled back from the Force in the decade since we last saw him, leading to much of his former abilities becoming atrophied. This of course raises the question of how exactly he planned to teach young Luke about the Force?

Jurassic World Dominion

The corpse of the Jurassic Park franchise drags itself to the finish line in what is being marketed as the final entry to the series. Let’s hope so. Only marginally better than the forgettable last entry, 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Jurassic World Dominion weaves in the surviving characters of the original Jurassic Park in an attempt to blind viewers with nostalgia while failing to do anything all that interesting with them.

Dragons: The Nine Realms – Magma Breather

While the episode introduces a new dragon which gives the episode its title, “Magma Breather” is primarily about Tom (Jeremy Shada) attempting to prevent his mother, and her new rival, from uncovering the dragon cave while exploring the area for mineral deposits. With Tom attempting to stall his mother, the rest of Dragon Club kinda, sorta, (but not really) works to collapse the entrance into the larger club while really just getting miffed at D’Angelo‘s (Marcus Scribner) attempts to take command of them in Tom’s absence. While tempted to tell his mother the truth, the secret remains safely hidden for another episode.

Shadow War: Omega

Shadow War: Omega comes to a close here with Geo-Force revealed to be the killer behind the death of Ra’s al Ghul and the attempts on the lives of both Talia al Ghul and Deathstroke as vengeance for what Leviathan did to his home country of Markovia. I’d say the story ends rather than concludes as the epilogue to Geo-Force’s defeat feeds right into Dark Crisis (which is actually already started before this story wraps).

Red Sonja #9

Taking place mainly aboard a pirate ship, where Sonja and Sitha swipe and stab at everything that moves including the imposing Captain Eustachius Krancher before eventually fleeing the cursed waters and arriving on land, Red Sonja #9 continues Red Sonja’s journey to see her new ward safely home (which has turned out to be anything but a safe journey).
