We wouldn’t say no to Theme Hospital: Star Wars, treating ailments like Bloaty Helmet and Ingrown Clonenail, but Medstar deserves a more complex take. It’s a bold take on Star Wars, bringing home the bloody reality of the prequel trilogy’s conflict. Here, soldiers don’t die neatly they bleed out on the operating table while a surgeon jokes about having enough shrapnel to build a new battle droid. Their gruesome exploits run parallel to the novel’s central story, delivered with a sanity-preserving dose of gallows humor. That’s not the case in Medstar 1: Battle Surgeons, which follows the trials of a group of Republic medics, struggling to deal with the Clone Wars’ casualties. In Star Wars, death is frequently PG rated get sliced in half and your blood and internal organs stay obligingly in place as your corpse tumbles out of view.

The Rise of Skywalker may have crushed our hopes of Poe and Finn being a couple but we’re sure, with a few carefully forged notes, Tag and Bink could set things right.
We’d pay good money for an episodic, tongue-in-cheek series that dives into the final Star Wars trilogy or, even better, let us shake things up a bit. Their canon status was questionable even before Disney picked up the Expanded Universe and threw it down a reactor shaft, but Tag and Bink’s shenanigans beg for more exploration. If they’re not giving Anakin Skywalker dating advice, they’re stealing Boba Fett’s armor or mooching off Lando Calrissian. Wonder why Chewbacca didn’t get a medal? Totally Tag and Bink’s fault. The missing planet Obi-Wan Kenobi was looking for? Tag and Bink accidentally deleted it. Kevin Rubio’s comic spoof is the perfect antidote to the franchise’s po-facedness, starring a pair of well-meaning idiots who get mixed up in half of the movies’ events.
