March 12, 2012April 18, 2021 John Hansen Star Wars (Disney)

March 13, 2011April 18, 2021 John Hansen Star Wars (Disney)

In the “Star Wars” universe, it’s almost impossible for a character to quietly, slowly emerge as a fan favorite. Most characters on this list arrived with a lot of hype behind them (Ahsoka) or they […]

John’s top 10 ‘Clone Wars’ characters: No. 4 — Ahsoka Tano (TV commentary)

March 12, 2011April 18, 2021 John Hansen Star Wars (Disney)
