Darth Vader #39

Darth Vader #39

Continuing the “Dark Droids” crossover event, on Mustafar an infected Zed sends an Octuptarra tri-droid after Darth Vader in an attempt to finally put the Dark Lord of the Sith down. It’s another issue of a struggling Vader facing off against dangerous droids (although I could never quite buy the Octuptarra as a Sith-killer). The attack forces Vader to stop relying on the crutches which helped him reconnect with the Force and reclaim his power once more.

Ahsoka - The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord

Zombie Troopers! With the final episode in the books, the question lingers about Ahsoka. Was it a success? Presented as a contained mini-series, not as a chapter to a larger narrative, the results are mixed. But the ending did have Zombie Troopers! After dicking around for half its run, the show finally started developing the plot in its final three episode leaving far too little time to deal with Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and his return.

Ahsoka - Dreams and Madness

The penultimate episode of Ahsoka confirms the show’s purpose as a prequel and filler to the “real story” Disney will no doubt get around to eventually. It’s also important to note that, as in the case of many episodes of the series, there are absolutely no consequences for any characters in this episode. What “Part Seven” does offer is some Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) and Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi), who apparently has gotten less adept with the Force since we saw him last, time together with her being more than a bit coy about how she managed to reach him, Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) making to the other galaxy and eventually to the planet for a reunion, and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) using the resources as his disposal to stall the Jedi providing more time for his escape.

Ahsoka – Far, Far Away

After wasting several weeks dragging its feet to get the search for Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen)  stared, “Far, Far Away” rapidly accelerates its storytelling racing through events. Arriving in a distant galaxy, which apparently only contains a single planet of interest where both Thrawn and Ezra are both living, our evil doers almost immediately meet up with Thrawn and prepare his return. Released, Sabine‘s (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) begins scouring an entire planet, apparently only inhabited by this galaxy’s versions of Sandpeople and odd rock creatures, for her lost friend which takes less than half a day.
