Why Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars Finale Still Shines 20 Years Late

Whether you’re into the saga’s films, novels, comics, or video games, this bite-sized prequel bridge deserves a second look — and maybe even a few slow claps. A Cartoon Network Star Wars… That Wasn’t a Joke? Let’s go back for a second. In 2003, Clone Wars launched on Cartoon Network as a series of micro-episodes — yes, three-minute episodes…

Is Star Wars: Skeleton Crew Already a Flop? The Nielsen Ratings Say…Nothing
The galaxy far, far away might be expanding, but it seems some people didn’t get the memo. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, one of Lucasfilm’s most mysterious projects, has yet to make an impact in the Nielsen ratings, and the silence is deafening.

Unlike The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, or even The Book of Boba Fett, which all had strong debuts (even if some later lost steam), this new entry into the Star Wars universe hasn’t made the rankings. That’s not a great sign for a series reportedly carrying a hefty budget and big names like Jude Law. Disney and Lucasfilm have been tight-lipped about official numbers, which often means they don’t have good…
