Get…off…my…LAWN! It’s the lack of critical thought that broke the camel’s back. Zombies, make-shift light sabers, and Narnia references really mucked up this episode. Filoni’s cherry-picking method for choosing Star Wars lore has resulted in a muddied series that serves neither die-hards nor casual fans. Are we in a Star Wars dark age?
