Star Wars: Path of Vengeance has some of the most dire stakes of anything I’ve ever consumed in the Star Wars universe.

This one picks up right after the events of Jedha and Planet X. The Mother has made her way back to Dalna, she’s making plans, and we finally get answers to the one plot hole we’ve all been wondering about in this series. It’s satisfying and unexpected.

The Mother and the Path are in shambles, the Jedi are coming, and it still doesn’t go as planned for them. The Jedi get wrecked in this series. Its tension, atmosphere, and action are simply relentless, and Star Wars does a fantastic job building that kind of energy across the series.

Pacing-wise, it does drag in spots as it builds tension, but it works. The characters are fantastic and written exactly how they should be. I don’t know where the series goes from here, but they could have made it the swan song and didn’t. A can’t-miss experience. 5/5
