Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the season finale of “Ahsoka,” titled “The Jedi, the Witch and the Warlord,” now streaming on Disney+. With the finale of “Ahsoka,” the latest chapter of the “Star Wars” TV universe has come to a close, and for fans of “Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels,” it gives some big moments that have been years in the making. The season finale, titled “The Jedi, the Witch and the Warlord,” ends on a bittersweet note, with Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) escaping into space, while Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) are stranded on the planet Peridea.

Lise Pedersen Two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Alexander Payne shared his passion for film and his thoughts on contemporary American cinema with the audience at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon where he is premiering his eighth feature film, “The Holdovers,” under the French title “Winter Break,” on October 15th.
