It’s a curious choice indeed to feature the return of fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano onStar Wars: The Clone Warsonly to relegate her to third wheel in what should be her story.Last week’s new episode, which arrived on Disney+, caught viewers up with the former Jedi after she fled the surface city of Coruscant for the dangerous depths of Level 1313. It was a fine enough introduction to the character for newcomers and a re-introduction of sorts for fans who have been waiting years for the series' return, and it even featured a fun, action-packed sequence to jazz up the proceedings a bit....

When I say the word “composer”, there’s a good chance that one of three things pops into your mind: Any one ofJohn Williams' iconic movie scores, the cinematic horns ofHans Zimmer, or even your favorite cartoon theme song from your childhood. Music helps to inform the emotional journeys our heroes take in television and movies, be it an independent project or big-budget franchise picture. Fast-paced, dynamic scores complement action sequences; powerful musical swells take an epic discovery to new heights; and sombre tones enhance an already emotional moment....

Off the top of my head, I can’t pinpoint when the R-rating took a slug to the gut but my memory places it some time in the late 1990s, maybe 2000 on the dot. At some point, the powers that be deemed that it wasn’t worth making adult-themed entertainments with big budgets because teenagers couldn’t get in on their own and thus a tremendously lucrative demographic was diminished. Sneak-ins were rampant, of course, but that was even worse: more people saw their movie but the competition got the money....

But until the game gets a re-release on a next-gen console, the best we can do these days is reminisce about how greatGoldeneye 007was, which includes debating one of the game’s greatest questions: Is playing as Oddjob cheating?
