For fans ofThe Walking Deadprotagonist Rick Grimes, the latest episode of the series was bittersweet. Star Andrew Lincoln had been written out of the long-running AMC show after lasting nine seasons, just as the network had been advertising.

For all of its otherwise harmless flaws and mountain of hilariously cringe-worthy dialogue, theStar Warstrilogy that came about in the early 2000s was meant to be both a modern revamp of the franchise and the formal introduction of young Anakin Skywalker before his fated turn into main villain Darth Vader.
