-The Dire ‘Ahsoka’ Finale Points To A Larger Storytelling Crisis Moment For ‘Star Wars’
Really good take on why Star Wars shows are all over the place. We did not care for the Ahsoka ending either.
The Scott Pilgrim anime heads to Netflix on November 17th. Not sure how well it will do so many years after the amazing film, but it does have the actors from it returning as the voice cast. I wonder if the rights at Universal ended or something. So weird it comes out now. Technically called Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
