As I type this, it’s been maybe a couple of hours since I finished watching Tales of the Underworld<\/em>, the latest animated offering from Star Wars.<\/p>\n

And I’m still a bit of a wreck.<\/p>\n

The first three episodes featured fan-favorite Asajj Ventriss, while the last three episodes featured another fan-favorite, Cad Bane.<\/p>\n

All the episodes were good, but when I got to the final episode and realized what they were doing, I simply could not believe it.<\/p>\n

Minor spoiler here, but basically they were paying tribute to High Noon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“What was your favorite part of Star Wars?”<\/p>\n

Dad told me that he liked the part where Luke blew up the Death Star.<\/p>\n

I think he would have liked this episode of Tales of the Underworld<\/em>, even though he didn’t watch much of the animated shows.<\/p>\n

And to be totally honest, I felt him there, watching that episode with me, as we always did with High Noon<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
