Some More Trailers for Neat Star Wars Stuff!
Star Wars Celebration went on all weekend, and after the big real of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker and it’s trailer, we’ve now got trailers for a new video game and the resurrected season of the Clone Wars cartoon. So neat Star Wars stuff is still coming to our universe!
First up, let’s check out that sweet Clone Wars trailer!
Looks pretty neat! I was late in getting on board both Clone Wars and Rebels, but both turned out great! So another batch of Clone Wars episode should be sweet!
Then there’s the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It’s supposed to be a single-player game about a young padawan rising to become a Jedi in the post-Revenge of the Sith time period. I’m more hesitant about this.
I’ll see what the reviews say before I buy this game. This is a character/setting combination we’ve seen plenty of times before. Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebels was exactly this. And I’m rather bummed that the main character is your standard bland white guy with brown hair. They couldn’t have come up with an alien padawan? Those existed, you know!
Sadly, Star Wars didn’t release the trailer for The Mandalorian TV show, despite playing it for the audience at Celebration. Wonder why they held that one back. Maybe they want to give it its own big release in a couple months.

We’re Getting More She-Ra By the End of the Month!
I absolutely loved the first season of She-Ra and the Princess of Power. It was pretty much perfect, and everything I could want from a modern cartoon reboot of an 80s classic. And season is arrives on April 26!
Of course, that’s the same weekend Avengers: Endgame arrives, so it’s going to be a busy weekend! We just have to get through the entire month of April first…

Temptation Comes for Woody Again in Toy Story 4
Man, Woody really has a hard time learning his lesson, doesn’t he? How many times is Woody going to be tempted into settling for a life beyond belonging to his chosen child? And how many times is he going to go back to that child?
At least once more, it seems. Here comes Toy Story 4!
I like the Toy Story films as much as the next person, but it’s OK to let a good thing come to an end at the appropriate time. What’s the driving story this time? That Woody has to be tempted by life in a carnival? Instead of in a museum or in a daycare? What the heck would Woody even do in a carnival?
Not to mention all the weird existential questions that arise from the introduction of Forky. The Toy Story universe doesn’t need any more existential questions!

A Good Yoda Cartoon is a Good Way to Start a Monday
The Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures shorts are still coming out, and they’re still great! This one is about Yoda’s full journey.
I need to write more meaningful articles again. I had a busy past two weeks, but things have calmed down and I need to get back to work! I didn’t even write anything about James Gunn getting re-instated for Guardians of the Galaxy 3! This is exactly what I hoped would happen, that Disney was just waiting for the dust to settle before course-correcting. I’m so happy he’s back!

How Into the Spider-Verse Should Have Ended
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a true masterpiece and deservedly won that Oscar. So let’s poke some fun at it! Legitimately, at times, thanks to the How It Should Have Ended people!
Some good jokes there! Though if I can be that guy, a webline isn’t retractable, and Doc Ock needed time to repair the collider, which is why they couldn’t re-do the experiment that day. Though I did love the alternate reality Kingpin seeking revenge joke!
Also, if I haven’t made this clear enough, but I very much dislike the cafe tradition. Stop using your jokey versions of Batman and Superman as a crutch! You’re better than that! You’re funnier than that! Your Spider-Man jokes were great this episode!
Although I will admit the Into the Bat-Verse ending was pretty fun.
