Happy New Year MandaLore fans! We're kicking off 2024 with a look back at all that we got in 2023 plus all that we've coverd on this show so far, and we put it all into perspective by making our top 3 lists for every show, and then top 3 overall in multiple categories! Once that's all done, we take a look ahead at what's coming in 2024 with some hopes, some predictions and speculation.  It's a full episode as you know we do, so sit back, buckle in as we head off to the next galaxy far, far, away!

Could this be the end? Without knowing what is coming or when, this finale, for now, is the end of our story for Ahsoka. Did it live up to the build up all season long? Did it have emotional payoff? Was it a worthy finale? Well we dive deep as always into all those questions and more, as we bring you our longest episode of the season for Ahsoka's finale! Buckle up, settle in, and let's hitch a ride to another galaxy!   Sabine Wren opens her door to let the force flow through her...finally! Ezra makes his new lightsaber and goes to battle alongside Ahsoka. Morgan gets shadow powers as she's annointed a true Night Sister Witch. Thrawn is proud in his out maneuvering of his enemies. The stakes are high as it's a race to get back to our galaxy, but will everyone make it?  Send in your thoughts to the show!

The calm before the storm.....is usually how it goes....but not in this pre-finale episode! Baylan and Shin catch up to Ezra and Sabine, and it's guns and sabers blazing! Although Baylan decides it's time to let Shin go her own way, and is about to leave when Ahsoka comes tumbling in from the sky for the inevitable rematch, but once again, he proves he's more powerful, and only HuYang arriving just in time allows Ahsoka to make her getaway. Ezra shows us he's still got Force game and refuses to use a lightsaber, going all Monk style on the troopers. But he and Sabine quickly get outnumbered until Ahsoka runs into the rescue! Meanwhile, Thrawn sees this as an opportunity to get ahead, with the time gained from this skirmish, and starts gathering his troops to prepare to leave Peridea! What will happen in the finale? Can our Rebels catch them in time? Or will they be stranded there with no way home? Send in your thoughts to the show!

A long time ago....in a galaxy far, far, away.... We actually heard a character say those words!  Huyang, the Star Wars narrator we didn't know we needed! We got a lot thrown at us this week...Live action debuts of Thrawn, Ezra, Night Witches, plus some new creatures, and a whole bunch of info we still don't have answers to....but we try to figure it out for you!

Clone Wars. In live action. Hayden Christensen. Back as Anakin. Master and padawan, from a time we never thought we would see brought to life. Yet here it is.  Beautiful. Epic. Stunning. Powerful. These are just some of the words used to describe this momentous occasion for us, the true fans of all the stories that have come before. Now there are questions. Confusion to be cleared up. Scenes to make sense of. You've come to the right place. Smart ones you are, yes. Siber Wren and D.Vizsla do their best to break it all down for you, so that we are all on the same page, and understand what just happened. This is the way.  Send in your thoughts to the show!

Woah. That's all most people have to say about this episode. It hits all the trigger points for so many emotions. Anaking Skywalker is back. Hayden Christensen is back to play him. And it's the first time we've ever seen Ahsoka and Anakin on screen together in live action. No one thought this would ever happen or even be possible. But here we are. And we have so many questions...theories...ideas....but are we over thinking it and going too deep?  And there is Marrok. No one was correct with his identity. He's a nobody. And he's gone. Are we disappointed in his not so big reveal? This episode is just too big to discuss in this blog post, so dive in with us as we explore all it had on display. Send in your thoughts to the show!

It's time to fly! Training has restarted for Sabine, and she's struggling to connect to the force within her....but does she really have it? Why has Ahsoka decided to train someone who is so inept at feeling the force?  Here is fighting the senators with her experience in war to warn them of a new threat, but none of them are listening....could there be Thrawn and Empire loyalists within the senate? Purrgils can hyperspace jump to other galaxies! And the ancients discovered how to harness that ability to build their hyperspace drives. Now Morgan wants to use it to get to Thrawn and bring him back to secure what's left of the Empire. The race is on. Send in your thoughts to the show!

Ahsoka. Her live action solo show is here! And we can't be more excited about it.  From cartoon beginnings, to mature character design, Ahsoka has grown in so many perspectives, and now we get to witness the continuation of her story in live action. Finding Thrawn and Ezra are her missions, and she has Sabine and Hera at her side. But something is brewing that she isn't prepared for. This is the beginning of her story as we have never known it.

Ahsoka Tano.  Padawan to Anakin Skywalker. Jedi defector. Hero. Warrior. Friend. Her story is one that we have gotten to witness from the beginning, through Clone Wars, Rebels, Tales of the Jedi, and now her live action debut on the Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett, and finally jumping into her own live action series. We don't know where this journey will take her, but we know we're along for the ride. Ahsoka and Anakin is one of the most powerful stories of Star Wars.  And here's our final thoughts before it begins. Send in your thoughts to the show!
