‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’: Dave Filoni on Ahsoka’s fate, Master Yoda

“Star Wars” fans let out a collective howl of anguish last year when it was announced that one of the casualties of Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm was the animated series “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” The fan-favorite series was canceled without a satisfactory conclusion, yanked from the schedule of Cartoon Network, where it had aired since 2008. That ultimately made way for a new series, “Star Wars Rebels,” set to premiere on the Disney Channel before moving to Disney XD.

So, when word came that the final 13 episodes of the show’s sixth season would become available to fans on Netflix, the news was met with good cheer. As of Friday, viewers can check out “The Lost Missions,” which will join the previous five seasons on the streaming video service, including some director’s cuts of those earlier episodes.

“The Lost Missions” follows a rift in the Force caused by Ahsoka Tano’s departure from the Jedi Order and the growing menace of Sith lords and apprentices throughout the galaxy. In an interview with Hero Complex last fall, executive producer Dave Filoni teased that the final set of episodes would “really please the diehard ‘Clone Wars’ fans, especially the story arc with Master Yoda.”

However, anxious fans who have been waiting and hoping for final word on the fates of characters introduced within the confines of the series — most notably Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi apprentice to Anakin Skywalker who was introduced in the 2008 “Clone Wars” movie — will have to wait longer. Although the final season provides answers to many of the “Star Wars” mythos’ mysteries, her fate isn’t one of them.

What the fu....!?!

If you loved X Files, and like me, you are always on the lookout for another awesome show of related genre, this just might be for you. I started watching it on Netflix Streaming on the first episode, and marathon watched it all the way through season 7. I proceeded to catch up to the current episode of season 8 on Hulu. Season 7 may turn out to be the peak of the show's run, but it is still good in 8.

What more could a guy want?: Monster Hunting, whiskey drinking, classic rock cranking, muscle car driving, save-the-chick-and-sleep-with-her-then-leave-in-the-morning-good guys-that eat hamburgers. 

Angels, demons, vampires, werewolves, evil gods, black magic, cannibals, ghosts, etc. you name it, they slay it.

May Day

the art of the novella reading challenge 11/42: may day 
by f. scott fitzgerald

From: NONSUCH BOOK

I like to think that I have never met a Fitzgerald (book that is) that I don't like so I am preferring to think of this one as a precursor to Gatsby, a warm up. The easy elegance that I associate with the author only appears in spurts here, and the shifts in narrative tone are a little jarring. The distinctions drawn between the classes are not so subtle that the depth of their meaning reaches you gradually, but instead, hit you with blunt force trauma. This is an immature work.

This story of the clashes between socialists and just-home soldiers and the privileged young men of New York on a single day in May after the close of the first world war is not without its moments though. The introduction, although a bit over-played, is a clever reminder that the American story is a crafted object often, a thing of legend or folklore. An early description in the book of beautiful shirts seen from the eyes of someone who cannot afford them reminds me strongly of Daisy's textile admiration in Gatsby, how clothing marks the classes.

"Gordon rose and, picking up one of the shirts, gave it a minute examination. It was of very heavy silk, yellow, with pale blue stripe - and there were nearly a dozen of them. He stared involuntarily at his own shirt-cuffs - they were ragged and linty at the edges and soiled to a faint gray. Dropping the silk shirt, he held his coat-sleeves down and worked the frayed shirt-cuffs up till they were out of sight. Then he went to the mirror and looked at himself with listless, unhappy interest. His tie, of former glory, was faded and thumb-creased - it served no longer to hide the jagged buttonholes of his collar. He thought, quite without amusement, that only three years before he had received a scattering vote in the senior elections at college for bring the best-dressed man in his class."

And there were single lines throughout that pleased like "The windows of the big shops were dark; over their doors were drawn great iron masks until they were only shadowy tombs of the late day's splendor." But overall it just wasn't enough.

Jim Butcher

Jim Butcher is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy writers. The Dresden Files novels are awesome. I hope he keeps the Files going. As of August 8th, Dresden Files #13, Ghost Story, is #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List. This is the 3rd Dresden novel in a row to hit #1.
