My Thoughts on the D23 Trailers for Marvel and Star Wars
D23 was this past weekend, which is the Disney-specific convention where Disney shows off all their good stuff. We got official announcements of X-Men castings, all of which I approve. We got some theme park news. Some Incredibles 3 and Frozen 3 news. Various things. The biggest, best stuff was three new trailers for upcoming Star Wars and Marvel properties, which I’m here to share and discuss!
If you haven’t seen these yet, and come to my blog for cool trailers, then universe bless you, my friend.
First up, let’s go big with Avengers: Doomsday.
Looks good to me! Personally, I think RDJ sounds a little too subdued as Doctor Doom, but the lines are cool as heck. This trailer does a great job of building up Doom as imposing. I can get behind that. Love Pedro Pascal’s anger. I’m very much looking forward to Doomsday and can’t wait for it to arrive!
Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters on Dec. 18.
Next up, sticking with Marvel, it’s our first look at VisionQuest.
Personally, it’s too cerebral for my tastes. But that’s just an initial reaction to the trailer. I have no doubt that Paul Bettany and James Spader will kill it! WandaVision was great, Agatha All Along was great, so I’ve no doubt that VisionQuest will also be pretty darn great. I believe in greatness. I trust in this creative team.
VisionQuest will come to Disney+ starting on Oct. 14.
Last but not least is our first look at the second season of Ahsoka!
Personally, I was underwhelmed with the first season of Ahsoka. I like the character. I like Rosario Dawson’s portrayal. But I didn’t like where the season ended up. So I’m a bit hesitant. But I think that trailer looks amazing! A TV show is going to have that level of space battle?! Hells yes! I’m also a big fan of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, so I hope their storyline really goes somewhere fun this season, even with the actor change. So this trailer did it’s job and got me excited for season two. I’m gonna keep my hopes up.
Ahsoka returns to Disney+ on Jan. 20, so it’s a ways off.

6 Thoughts on the First Season of Ahsoka (Review)
Another Star Wars TV show has come and gone and I was very excited for this one. Like everyone else in the fandom, I had no faith in Ahsoka Tano when she was first introduced as the kiddie character in a new Star Wars cartoon way back in the day. But she’s now one of my all-time favorite Star Wars characters, and I was very excited for her show. Now that it’s over…meh.
TV Show Rating: 6/10 – Pretty Good
Ahsoka Tano is a very fun character and she’s had a great story. And I really like Rosario Dawson’s live action version. But the Ahsoka show was ultimately a bit of a disappointment in the end. I enjoyed the show for the most part and had high hopes, but I’m not overall happy with the final product. It’s well-made, well-acted, has some neat parts; but the first season didn’t really accomplish much, in my opinion.
Join me after the jump for my full thoughts and review of the first season of Ahsoka. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the whole season. And feel free to share your own thoughts and feelings in the comments below.

6 Answers I Need from Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati
The Ahsoka TV show is almost over and there’s only one thing I really care about: the secret history and potential futures of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. I haven’t seen last night’s episode yet, so maybe every question on this list has already been answered, but I wrote this list anyway. These characters are super damn cool.
I think everyone agrees that Baylan and Shin are the best part about the Ahsoka show. It’s a good show, it’s fine. But does anybody really care about Sabine getting back to Ezra? I watched all of Rebels, but I really, really don’t care. Should we really be all that concerned about Grand Admiral Thrawn when the sequels exist? No thank you. I want to know more about the super cool, super mysterious dark Force-users who have their own agenda and aren’t super predictable.
So join me after the jump for six questions I have about Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati, even if they are super obvious questions.
