There is a difference between glitz and style, one not often noted upon when there is money thrown at glitz as if it were the smart prospect in the room because it has the big name behind it, bravado mistaken for confidence, arrogance confused with grace, and one that can be the ruin of a franchise before it even starts; for in humility the viewer immersed in a series created on the back of one of the best selling books of all time will be enthralled and not overwrought with the smell of perfume disguising the smell of rotten meat.

The sins of our ancestors are always prevalent, and whilst we may be in part innocent of such crimes ourselves, we cannot remove the stain of the family name passed down when it comes to certain transgressions, certain wrongs in which we can be seen to have profited from personally.

Long is the suffering that abuse leaves on the soul, and its consequence on society is such that the world is embedded in chaos and anger at all times; like a match to the touch paper, it can ignite at any time and rain down destruction on all sides of the thin blue line as they battle, like a dual personality sufferer, for supremacy and peace.

Ahsoka. Television Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Rosario Dawson, David Tennant, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, Eman Esfandi, Hayden Christensen, Nican Robinson, Evan Whitten, Lars Mikkelsen, Genevieve O’Reilly, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jeryl Prescott, Claudia Black, Jane Edwina Seymour, Wes Chatham, Nelson Lee, Paul Darnell, Maurice J. Irvin, Clancy Brown, Anthony Daniels.

The Mandalorian and Andor proved it, and Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka has doubled down with force on the insistence, but Star Wars as an entity no longer requires the presence of Luke Skywalker, General Leia Organa, or even Han Solo in starring roles to carry the much loved and admired franchise forward.

We demand that our police force be corruption free, that our detectives be without vice, that the thin blue line be rigid and unyielding, but never allowed to go beyond what is reasonable and defined by law in the pursuit of justice…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Series Two. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

To view a series with the foreknowledge of what may happen to many of the characters in the future is one that in most circumstances would arguably lead to viewer apathy, the storyline hoped for always standing in the shadows of the decline and death of a main player just so that they can feel the emotion of loss and excitement.
